- catalog description "The Book of Harvard was written by Asa Dunnar (Harvard College 1767) as a satirical record of the Harvard College Butter Rebellion of 1766. Dunbar led a public protest against the rancid butter being served to students in 1766. The faculty responded by disciplining Dunbar, which prompted a walk-out by Harvard students. Finally after considerable friction between the governing board and students, 155 students signed a confession promising "future good Conduct." The Book of Harvard satirizes the involvement of Harvard President Edward Holyoke (Edward the Chief Ruler), Professors John Winthrop, Edward Wigglesworth, and Stephen Sewall, Tutors Belcher Hancock, Thomas Danforth, and Joseph Dillard, and Asa Dunbar (Asa the Scribe).".
