Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from the proper name 'Harvard' combined with the noun 'university' — it denotes the university called Harvard. This naming pattern (X University) is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Harvard University is named after John Harvard, a young minister who gave his books and some money to a new school in 1636. Because the school used his gift and kept his name, it grew over the years into the famous and respected university we know today.
