Harvard was founded in 1636 by Puritan clergy in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for clerical training.

The Puritans had moved to totalitarianism by 1692 (or perhaps earlier) with the Salem witch hunts.

I think it has come full circle -- that by the post-war era Harvard moved into totalitarianism just as its founders had.
