Before Trump went after it

Harvard Square in 2015

“I just remember getting really drunk {in Harvard Square} and spending a lot of time trying to pick up a waitress. She went to Harvard. I was really impressed….Because, if you’re over at B.U., or if you’re at any school in this area that isn’t Harvard, you have an inferiority complex which I developed to a full-on resentment.’’

— Marc Maron (born 1963), stand-up comedian and podcaster
