harvard.edu -- but maybe you mean the online classes that Stanford Engineering recently popularized?

Without explanation from submitter, I would imagine that he is drawing attention to the fact that harvard.edu offers similar classes and (tounge in cheek) their classes are superior to Stanford's. Much like an old MIT hack (read prank) where http://www.mitrejects.com would redirect to Caltech's homepage whereby Caltech then did the same, with http://www.caltechrejects.com redirecting to the MIT homepage. Mostly it appears our submitter is drawing attention to the fact that he's a Tolkein fanatic.
