Water in the renovated dining halls now has a brand name, as the soda machines and the potato chips have had on a regular basis. And, of course, in the Harvard T stop, first cnet.com and now American Express have invaded, monopolizing the traditional advertising spaces, pasting posters to the metal beams and spelling out the product name across the turnstiles...
