While a native of Charlestown might “Pahk his cah in Havahd Yahd,” a Harvard scholar will park his Prius in a metered spot on Mount Auburn Street. Beantown’s infamously “r??-averse brogue is conspicuously absent here on campus. This slight difference in inflection underscores a vast cultural schism between those affiliated with Harvard and Boston’s locals—a divide that dampens town-gown relations and could hamper the University’s plans to expand into Allston...
