who doesn't want to know who does that ding-dong ditch. the list of the 800 
might result from a kind of login. as a harvard student you might be forced to 
login and in case you use Tor right after the university will know you are a 
Tor user. some universities offer to study from a distance so in case there are 
different (e-mail) addresses and not only those from harvard.

a list of 800 Tor user is a bit short even when you consider that they exchange 
files and data with other universities and intels.

and you have to consider the countries with an easy entry/exit of internet

"Iraq shuts down internet to prevent students from cheating on exams" 

(that might be just kind of propaganda, but it's the idea what i mean)
