While Fowler's reasoning may leave some readers skeptical, his attention to Harvard's and Boston's past adds a dimension that should appeal to those interested in local history. He teaches a course on the city, and his bulletin board, covered with Red Sox bumper stickers and posters of Boston, reflects his love for the city.
