It is a bad practice that some people in prodigious Beijing University refer to Harvard University in talking about almost every subject, according to Prof. Ye Lang of Beijing University.

Ye, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top advisory body, said that in the opinion of these people, Harvard represents the absolute truth and constitutes the highest standard.

He said, "Harvard has its own strong points. For example, Harvard students majoring in religion have a solid foundation for languages."
