If Harvard University found out about this, they could sue you, and then you will have to spend a lot of money just to defend yourself. Forget winning or losing - just the cost hire a lawyer to defend you can be expensive. Chances are you may want to settle it out of court but it will still cost you.
Several years ago we advertised a "Star Wars Night" on our chat site. We had female chat models dressed up in Star Wars costumes, playing with light sabres, playing games, getting naked, having sex etc.
Well guess what, we received a cease & desist from Lucasfilm. We weren't using their logo but we had a Star Wars'ish looking banner that they could have sued us for if they wanted to. We got off easy.
If you really consulted a lawyer and he really said you're cool, then go for it. But if you haven't received legal advice on this, then maybe you should reconsider your marketing a little.
Besides all that, she's a cute girl for sure - good luck!!

I'm done answering to the peanut gallery on this. Do yourself a favor and actually go look and see what the Harvard logo is. And read the entire thread while you're at it.

I appreciate your feedback on educating me about the legal process. Lawsuits are expensive, thanks for that tidbit of info. And yes, anybody can sue anybody for anything. 'Murica.
