You might try contacting the university itself - surely they would have someone on staff with historical knowledge...nice find!

Smile Nice find

That is a neat find. My guess is that it is a glee club pin.
Here is a link for a student run business at Harvard
The Harvard Shop - A Student-Run Business
That is where they would sell such a thing today. Maybe a contact there could point you to a supplier. It doesn't appear to be a current pin.
Happy hunting
