In an effort to make sense of Harvard's investment practices and (apparent) unwillingness to be a leader in responsible investing, I have spent the past weeks looking at the history. This forty-some-odd year span correspondes with my work in corporate governace so it seemed a good and handy timeframe for investigation. Copies have been sent to various contacts at Harvard but I hope you'll read it and comment. Feel free to share it because the issues apply all university and charitable endowments.
