Good point - it never occured to me that Harvard University was also called after John Harvard!
However, what led me to my inital position was that no American academics I know have ever heard of 'Harvard referencing' therefore any relationship it has to Harvard university must be lost in the mists of history.
Re which system science uses/used, in my initial posting some months ago asking what system(s) people used, Lewis Elton pointed out that Medicine uses a numeric system - so I used that to claim 'poshness' for the numeric as well - Medicine at UCL is almost Harvard !!!!!
