	No, that bridge between Harvard Square and Allston is the Anderson
Bridge.
	The Harvard Bridge actually runs right next to MIT (between MIT and
the Back Bay)
	Having the bridge between their campus and their fraternities named
after "the small liberal arts college down the road" has driven those
"trade school~ students crazy for generations, and with alarming regularity
they wage a guerilla war to have the bridge renamed for a 'Richard S. Smoot,'
who was rolled across the bridge sometime around the turn of the century.
To this day, the length of the bridge is marked in "Smoots." (Memory fails
me, but I believe it something around 468.4 Smoots and 1 ear in length.)
