harvard was now too big. what he wanted was not one big harvard but a lot of little harvards as he put it and the university of louisville was to be his experiment. he and his brother in louisville, alfred, took the lead in raising money. brandeis arranged for his very expensive library to be given to the university of louisville. he helped bring in a dynamic dean of the law school. he gave a lot of money but in small chunks. he was opposed to this idea of big dollar investments and he's constantly advising them, don't go after the big dollars. go after a lot of little dollars because that way you get people involved, interested. i think he would have aplawed obama's use of the internet to raise a lot of $25 contributions rather than, you know, trying to get somebody to give $250,000. he wanted the local people involved in the development of the university of louisville. and today, if you ask the dean at the university of louisville law school, they consider themselves a second-tier law school but one of the

when brandeis came back, he entered harvard law school. and after he graduated harvard except for one year in st. louis he practiced law in boston until his appointment to the court in 1916. then he lived in washington the rest of his life with a summer home on cape cod. >> did he actually get an undergraduate degree anywhere? >> no. he didn't. and you didn't need an undergraduate degree to get into harvard law in those days. he did go to a german school for a while. and at that time it would have been a cross somewhere in between high school and college, though, he got some post-high school training, if you will, but he never had a b.a. >> how many of the -- i know he has two daughters. did you meet either one of them? >> i did. i met them in the 1960s. we went up to cape cod to the summer home which is still in the family. and we met susan and elizabeth. susan's husband was already dead at that time, but we met e.b.'s husband. elizabeth was always known as e.b., and at that point -- my favorite story is we were sitting outside on an augu

go park the car in harvard yard. working on that for hours. the president and romney both spent time at one of the most vend rabl campuses and they have different runs on the same crimson track. good morning from washington and happy memorial day weekend. it's friday, may 25th, 2012 and this is "the daily rundown." i'm in for chuck todd. let's get to the first reads. we are heading to memorial day weekend and it feels like labor day and politics. president obama is hammering mitt romney more than five months before the election, trying to define him as a wealthy and out of touch corporate raider. last night at the fairgrounds, where romney famously sparred with hecklers, the president jabbed romney again and again. >> the gain from his experience as a financial ceo, it explains something and why the last time he visited these very same fairgrounds, he fame usually declared that corporations are people. human beings, my friends. that's what he said. >> the president had this to say about romney's warning on the federal debt. nbc's senior politi

hey, harvard. how's it going? so you guys are graduating, huh? i think that's great. film together. what do you think. but my advice to you is simple. relax, dude! you just finished college at harvard. you worked so hard. trust me. you're going to kill it. i went to santa cruz and then i transferred to film school and i am rich. >> that is great. and as the olympic torch makes its way through london for the start of the summer games, black eyed pea's front man will.i.am had the honor of run with the torch. jimmy kimmel noticed that will.i.am does a little multitasking during his job. >> that's a big deal being asked to run with the torch. you could see how touched will.i.am was. >> something you always saw on tv doing growing up, and so to be here today in the uk, you know, with all the hard work that it took me to get to this level to be able to do that, it's following the pursuit of my dreams and now i'm here in the uk running the torch. it's great. >> he's texting. he's on his phone while running with the olympic torch. >> still ahead on "way too early," why are yo

we have the men from the harvard's baseball team.now, the southern methodist university women's crew team, they're in van number two over here. they're getting ready to go. and they are represented by emily karstens. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> let me start with you. how many parents on this team are saying this is what i sent my kid to harvard to do? >> we've actually had a big response. we were worried about our coaches when they first saw it, what they would think. they've loved it, had a good time with it. hopefully it will be a good recruiting tool, good publicity for the team and the school. >> who's the sleeper? >> jack colton, one of our sophomore outfielders. he actually couldn't make it today, but we replaced him with a pretty good actor. >> was he really asleep? >> he was out cold the whole time. >> this is a song that i think is for teenage girls. how did you guys pick this? >> we're a pretty goofy team, we have pretty eclectic taste in music as it is. sort of came on thei ipod drivig to one of our ga

there was an absolute reaction from harvard law school. they said this is the most horrible book that has ever been published. how did this guy get into harvard law school? [laughing] there is some mistake. you know, there were people who wanted to take my diploma away. anyway, in the last 35 years, though, they've mellod out. you know? they've had me back. they've given me awards. it's incredible. and why is that? is that because they've changed in mir heart? no. it's because the television program gave them so much publicity. i don't mean to be cynical. i do like harvard law school. but come on, guys. >> ok. tony, you dedicated your life to the law and to justice. and you're known to take on the most impossible cases. do you think the justice system works? do you think it has value, at least the value that we seek to attribute to it? where we say in justice for all? >> nothing meaningful from an attorney comes from the seeded posture. it doesn't mean that anything meaningful comes from an attorney when he rises. let me share in respect t

and that, i mean, it was a dating site for harvard.greed to help them out with it--to help them, right? i mean, it wasn't a job. they weren't paying me. i wasn't hired by them or anything like that. and then, the idea that i would then go work on something completely different, like facebook, and that they would be upset about this all these years later is kinda mind-boggling for me. now, i mean, this is another thing that i think the movie really missed is, i mean, they make it seem like this whole lawsuit is such a huge part of facebook's history. i've probably spent less than two weeks of my time worried about this lawsuit at all, right? >> maybe you should've worried about it a little more. [laughs] >> maybe i should have early on, right? but i guess the point that i'm trying to make is, this has never been a big deal to facebook or its evolution. >> do you feel any, any remorse at all about the twins or anything that happened with them? >> i mean, after all this time, i feel bad that they still feel bad about it. >> kara swisher,

at that point, two mathematicians approached me at harvard, mathematicians of the first rank. a prodigy named coaching at tornado, which i describe apart just a little earlier, who was the darling of the harvard math department. she had one deed not olympia three years ago and so on. so they came to me and said, you know, we decided to look at this thing in the assumption mathematically as the formula for all of this is an election process and we have found it has no solid foundation. in fact, it's wrong mathematically. no one had ever done that before. why? because is an extremely difficult mathematical problem. it didn't seem would be necessary to do it, but it turned out. but when i put the evidence that you got to put that group selection, then we got sent an entirely new open to. and i'm as where we are now. no supporter of the old theory, it happened 18 months after we made that move the nation magazine has actually ever addressed the scientific issues. that is the mathematical inaccuracy and also the better paradox of the nation. and that is where we are at the present

and went onto harvard business school. larry somers, her undergraduate thesis officer hired her as a researcher at the world bank and brought her on at the chief of staff. she maim e made the jump to silicon valley in 2001 running google's online sales and operations and launching its philanthropic arm. but a friendship struck with zuckerberg after a chance encounter at a holiday party moved her to facebook in 2008. >> i think i've gone on to do lots of things, working with mark and the rest of the management team to help grow the company. >> they have what facebook employees say is a true partnership. >> we have a great coo, sheryl sandberg, who runs a huge part of the business. no one can do it. >> they meet every monday and friday though they talk constantly throughout the week. >> my day job keeps me really busy. >> she also sits on the boards of disney and starbucks and a member of the council on jobs and competitiveness. the mother of two has achieved cold status. her speech is viewed online hundreds of thousands of

bill gates dropped out of harvard.mething entrepreneurial, the credentials are not what really matters. what matters is having the right idea at the right time, the right place. >> safer: but all of the examples you give are people who had a very serious brush with higher education, all of them pretty much at elite schools. >> thiel: it's not causal. you know, harvard does a great job at picking the winners, and therefore it should get very little credit for turning people into winners. >> safer: well, the same could be applied to your program. >> thiel: yes, but the difference is that my program is not... does not involve charging people a quarter of a million dollars. >> vivek wadhwa: believe it or not, the u.s. education is by far the best in the world. >> safer: vivek wadhwa has debated thiel on the value of higher education. >> wadhwa: if you don't even have a bachelor's degree, if you don't even have basic education, you are beyond hope. >> safer: he is a successful entrepreneur and professor who teaches at duke

most of the faculty at harvard didn't go to rutgers.estion about whether she did use this alleged minority status to get into these elite university as a law school professor. harvard says no. but they did use it, jehmu. they touted, look at elizabeth warren. she is native american. >> that's not how she got the job. >> how do you know how she got the job? >> harvard has been very clear that this is not why she got the job. she got the job because she came in as a rock star teacher from all of these other institutions. being listed numerous years back to back about being one of the top female attorneys in the nation. you are going to go down the road, tucker, you don't want to with women. their qualifications being questioned from a double standard. >> i have no idea why elizabeth warren was hired. i do know this. harvard does awardweight to people's ethnic background. they bragged about her ethnic background. i'm not saying she is not a great teach. maybe she is. but she is not good at explaining herself when asked about her behavior.

mier left harvard in his junior year before launching push 44.michael shader graduates later this month. welcome to all of you. i'm going to start with you, ma. it started on the harvard campus. what are your thoughts on a day like today? >> i'm very excited. i think it's validation that the social media and people love sharing, which is very important for a company like ours. >> what do you hope for your future? i mean, do you think that you could have that type of success? what are your hopes for your particular projects? >> yeah. i'm working very hard to push 44 to make sure that we are successful and able to make referrals kind of part of the social media mainstream. >> all right. tell me about how difficult or easy you have found the process of not only inventing new businesses, but taking them to the next level to the next platform. and have any venture capitalists contacted you about your ideas? >> yeah. that's a really great point. so i guess i think in entrepreneurship it's all about implementation. everyone has an idea, it's about how w

obama did not go directly from high school to harvard and yale.another college where he did extremely well. i don't think you want to be leaving out there that he didn't deserve to get into harvard and yale, sean. >> sean: seems a little odd. i can tell you that i know kids with high school record and good s.a.t. scores and they are not getting anywhere near harvard. >> we shouldn't be talking about another one. if they go to another college and can get a 4.0 they can go to harvard and yale are you implying some kind of reverse discrimination. >> i'm saying drinking heavily and doing drugs enthusiastically. most people don't know it. >> i paid close attention and never heard until just now the voice of barack obama saying he did these things. it will probably be startling to other people. >> sean: i got more. >> i think a lot of people are thinking let's dig into romney and think well, if we keep digging into him the other side is going to bring out the obama stuff. >> sean: like if you bring up the kennel and you ate dog it backfires. >> i agree

>> now, we're probably all not going to be bringing harvard business school cases to work or runningough fire but there are definitely things we should all be doing to make sure we have a strong company culture. this is the founder of internet lifestyle.com and maverick business adventures. maverick port is the best-selling author of "book yourself solid." >> what's up, j.j.? >> this is one of my favorite pieces i've ever done. one is because it was so much but will has created this incredibly strong culture. he has a group of 20 something year olds and does this business school case. i went to business school. suddenly my heart was pounding. it's incredible. it makes everyone love him. the time out he takes to develop them makes them love the company. >> yes. >> we all can't do that. we're not going to take time out to do a business school case. but can we do. >> notice they're all about culture, whether it's the customers or the people who are working there. and they have this desire to be more than they currently are. i have a feeling his hiring practices, he's looking for those p

no delays through the fort mchenry tunnel or harvard tunnel. that will remain clear on 95 in the white marsh area. as far as the jfx is concerned, all of that construction has finally cleared. no delays to talk about. as we check in and take a live look at the beltway just north of 83, you'll notitoo many cars out there, no delays to talk about whatsoever. it will be a nice easy ride. that will remain the same on the south side of 95. here's a look just north of the beltway. an easy ride traveling down to 495 or headed up north to the tunnels that. is a look at your abc 2 news time saver traffic. megan and charley, over to you. >>> a proposal to put advertisements on baltimore city buses has now taken a step forward. the city council committee approved the measure last night. sharee is live in front of the headquarters with more on this developing story. >>reporter: we're here at fire department headquarters here right in front of the fallen firefighters statue. this statue symbolizes those who have lost their lives. now, supporters that turned

do you both favor taxing harvard and harvard endowment as part of our base broadening efforts. nice tax expenditure there. >> i wouldn't call that a tax expenditure. [laughter] because we've decided it is not a taxable entity. so it's not a question of the measurement of their taxable income, but whether or not their income should be taxed so there's a broader question which is how we should treat non-profits in this country. should we allow contributions to harvard to museums, to symphonies and all that and there are two choices. we can do it the way we do it in this country or we can do what europeans do and make those government financed organizations. the universities, the museums, the symphonies, and so on. and i think the diversity and the way we do it in this country is preferable. >> gentleman here. yes. second row. >> thanks. a great many republican legislature have signed up with pledges not to increase taxes and as i understand it, those who promote the pledge include filling in loopholes and anything other an the revenue. given what you said today, a, does that worr

-- where he became the secretary treasury, the become president of harvard. began consulting for hedge funds. after he was forced out as president of harvard, he increased his consulting activities earning $5 million a year for one day a week of work hedge fund, and making over $1 million year giving speeches to financial organizations. at the same time, he continued to participate in policy debates. most famously, in 2005, he was president at the jackson hold conference, the -- jackson hole conference. at that conference, the then very famous economist that was the chief economist at the imf, delivered a paper in which he warned about the growth of risk in the financial-services industry and the potential for the catastrophic economic meltdown as a result of increased risk taking and finance. and larry summers at the end of the presentation, stood up and the very, very brutally criticized him and dismissed all of his concerns. there have been many other examples of people who engaged in similar behavior. glenn hubbard is certainly not one but he is now senio

how badly did you do at harvard? [laughs] i think i had-- i mean, i think it's true of a lot of people in journalism. i had in those days what we didn't know was attention deficit disorder. i did not focus well on schoolwork, but i was good at something called journalism. i was on the undergraduate newspaper. and i can now think back to the fifth and sixth grade, and if i had a teacher that did not connect with me, i can see my mind sort of flying out the window. but i didn't know that then. well, i assumed the great distinction because you were the editor of the harvard crimson, which meant you had some talents. and, i presume, given that education, even in the bottom third, you would have some choices in life. and then you decided that of all places on the planet to go to to begin your career, you would go to west point, mississippi. what were you thinking? well, west point was involuntary. there was a nieman fellow up there named tom karsell, who came from hodding carter's paper in greenville, mississippi. and you

and he took that degree from harvard, and his wife took her degree from harvard, and what did they dot to wall street and end up trying to invest in derivatives. they worked in their community, and congressman, as he pointed out about the distraction, rubio although to recognize that his party would not support president obama when he granted cuban americans unrestricted rights to visit their families and to send now to cuba. he added that and rubio is against his own people. he added 2.5 to 3 million jobs in the private sector. he added and expanded loan programs for small businesses. so i mean, here is the pot calling the kettle black as your staff pointed out in the presentation of this segment. they're the one that's said at the very beginning in the caucus room in washington, d.c., that we're not going to work with this president and we want him to fail. and if he fails, that means unfortunately what? the country fails. that is divisive. >> governor chris christie attacked the president when he was addressing kentucky republicans. he said "president obama cared more about posing

that you investigated please put an investigator on it they put their pocket former president of harvard with whom i had not had particularly good relations over the years and derek ma came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no basis for any plagiarism. you're listening to worldview from chicago public radio and we've been talking today with norman finkelstein assistant professor of political science at the paul think with me it's always had a controversial ads but the controversy never ends and it's conflict with harvard's alan dershowitz it began in a democracy now radio program several years ago when he alleged that dershowitz his book a case for israel was plagiarized more recently dershowitz is not a one campaign against illegal themes can you get a call the president of the call university has about the middle of this month to decide and when i was dr finkelstein these are faster to paul university who might get his tenure on tuesday if the university allows and by people like this be teaching our children in the class of us thanks for joining us i'm going to start off by

harvard and mit have teamed township offer free online courses.tarting fall you can get an ivy league education for free. >> reporter: a harvard or mit education for free? yes you just need a computer and internet connection. the institutions have teamed up to provide five free online courses. they include engineering and more will be added. >> we believe that people throughout the world, even -- especially those who can't afford to pay the fees of online courses should have access to the information. >> reporter: both mit and harvard each gave $30 million to fund the project. they are doing it for research purposes, the schools plan to look at the way students learn. they will use the knowledge to improve teaching. they describe what the online courses would be like. >> i expect the staff to develop ambition our approaches that will likely have a video part and maybe other features, maybe the possibility of v laboratories. >> reporter: you won't get a degree but you will get a certificate of mastery. if you are up for the free courses they say mo

obama did not go directly from high school to harvard and yale.ere he did extremely well. i don't think you want to be leaving out there that he didn't deserve to get into harvard and yale, sean. >> sean: seems a little odd. i can tell you that i know kids with high school record and good s.a.t. scores and they are not getting anywhere near harvard. >> we shouldn't be talking about another one. if they go to another college and can get a 4.0 they can go to harvard and yale are you implying some kind of reverse discrimination. >> i'm saying drinking heavily and doing drugs enthusiastically. most people don't know it. >> i paid close attention and never heard until just now the voice of barack obama saying he did these things. it will probably be startling to other people. >> sean: i got more. >> i think a lot of people are thinking let's dig into romney and think well, if we keep digging into him the other side is going to bring out the obama stuff. >> sean: like if you bring up the kennel and you ate dog it backfires. >> i agree with that. >> sean

i took a number of apolitical classes at harvard.ike i said, first of all, i was a major in accomplish and government, so -- english and government, so i took government classes with harvey mansfield, peter berkovitz and a couple of other prores who i think would classify themselves as conservative. but what i really liked about the professors that i had was that they left politics at the door. i mean, i took classes on shakespeare and plato and even harvey mansfield who was a well known conservative outside of the classroom, we didn't sit around discussing republican talking points or something like that. in fact, i remember he, you know, his last sort of popular book was on manliness. and i took a graduate seminar with him, i think it was my senior year. and a number of kind of let's just call them radical feminists showed up. i think they wanted to really disrupt the class and, you know, get their views heard and protest, you know, the idea that we would even have such a class. and, you know, harvey mansfield sits down, and he's a

of the line of fire and also perhaps to resolve the problem, i arranged for one of them to go to harvard for a year as a fellow and the other transferred somewhere else. and that's all i knew at that stage. of course, subsequent events long after i left the department and indeed long after -- i'm not sure, after the nixon administration ended, we learned from the press that there was an anti-semitic tinge to all of this. it was not apparent to me at the time. i had no idea henley was jewish. and i cannot imagine, i cannot figure out why nixon, president nixon and malik would have known that henley was jewish. it was not a jewish name. >> in response to these concerns from the white house about the statistics from omb -- >> not about statistics about the press releases on the statistics. i don't think there was a concern about the statistics. >> but i just wanted to ask because george shultz at the time the omb director undertakes a review of statistics, government statistics, as could the four departments that produced most of the statistics, hew. you recall this? >> no, i don't. i didn'

you were at harvard. he was the governor in massachusetts. it gets you labeled as mitt romney as engaging in politics and the. he was bold enough or oversimplistic enough to say that, but i suspect that he is not the only one that feels that way. those that raise these kinds of questions are engaging in the politics of envy. you are raising this conversation because you do not have what i have, and it is your own character flaw, and i have what i have because i worked hard. do not hate on me because i can afford it, and you cannot, and do not engage in the politics of envy. >> here is what i would say. first of all, the kind of politics we have now is largely managerial, technocratic talk on the one hand, where passion enters, too often, it is shouting matches, on cable television or talk radio, but what is missing is a recent public discourse about these big moral questions, so my answer to that challenge would be is not about class warfare. as i have a hunch that even those of us to oftentimes occupy the skyboxes would rather have a public

. >>> hey, how about the free education from harvard or mit? the two institutions have teamed up to offer free online courses. and harvard and mit are using it to research the way that students learn. right now classes include engineering. but they say that more will be added to more subjects eventually. >> people across the world, you know, especially those who cannot afford to pay the fees of online courses. they should have access to this information. >> wow. and now you don't get a degree from harvard or mit once you finish the courses, but you will get a certificate of master re. log on to edxonline.org for more information if you want to sign up. >> oh, whatever. >>> but the winner is picked to redesign the national law. you'll be able to see what the changes will look like up next. it's time to get going. to have the energy to turn a "to do" list into a memory. to put more giddy-up in our get-along. to keep stepping up even in overtime. it's time to start gellin' with dr. scholl's... ... and mix a little more hop in our hip hop. thanks t

my brothers and i were all blessed to go to harvard university. it was intense. i stayed there for college, for law school, and i also have a master's in public policy there. those are subjects i decided to study in part because i was very interested in public service and public policy issues and government. i ran for office in part because i wanted to serve the city and really protect all that is so special about what san francisco is. >> we've been talking for years about how important it is to build new neighborhoods, to develop affordable housing, make sure we have transit-oriented sustainable green development that really is worthy of a 21st century san francisco. what we're doing today -- and, frankly, what we're doing this year will have impacts on the city for decades to come. thank you all for being part of this, and i look forward to that mid-cutting. i moved to san francisco 15 years ago for all the reasons that we all love our city. our cable cars. our hills. the diversity of our
