Not surprisingly, he got a cease and desist letter from counsel for Harvard, together with an attempt by the latter to tell Cafe Press to stop printing such shirts.

With an hour or so of internet research, I managed to find him some interesting legal articles about the “nominative use” exception to trademark law, and the “parody” exception as regards copyright infringement. He made use of those bits of information in drafting a rather eloquent response letter to counsel for Harvard, together with an offer to copy all correspondence to the New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, and a few other newspapers of similarly small account.

And not surprisingly, counsel for Harvard quickly dropped their demands.

I offer the above as a suggestion for similar action for those who need to take it.
