The Governor of New Jersey just did something more consequential than what you described " Four months ago, a closed and secretive process resulted in the shocking announcement that Rutgers-Camden was to be merged into Rowan University. When this plan was revealed to consist largely of magical thinking, many overwhelmingly rejected it. " Need I inform you that the merger is in full speed despite opposition. Merger is a lot more consequential for an institution than renaming!

--So Harvard college was renamed after three years of its establishment? What were the processes followed? Was it renamed by fiat by one person? Besides, the question of legality with respect to the act establishing UNILAG, i want to believe that this point of renaming HARVARD after only three years, buttresses the issues raised about tradition, brand name etc........I am convinced that were the Governor of Massachesets to wake up today to unilaterally rename the Harvard, even after Geaorge Washington, there would be an uproar!

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Harvard originally called New College but renamed after John Harvard
--Do you know that Harvard, a university in the United States, was New College but renamed after John Harvard?
"Harvard was founded in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making it the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Initially called "New College" or "the college at New Towne", the institution was renamed Harvard College on March 13, 1639. It was named after John Harvard, a young English clergyman from Southwark, London, an alumnus of the University of Cambridge (after which Cambridge, Massachusetts is named), who bequeathed the College his library of four hundred books and £779 pounds sterling, which was half of his estate.[20] The charter creating the corporation of Harvard College came in 1650" - Wikipedia--
