'Morning

Can I get some help with 'parsing' this clue :-

5a - Harvard graduate shows hypocrisy on ship with Scotsman (12) Cantabrigian

I understand hypocrisy=cant, ship=brig, scotsman=ian BUT what's that got to do with Harvard?

Cantabrigian is to do with Cambridge or Cambridge University, and that Harvard is a University but is it not superfluous to the clue?

[dannyk13]

Harvard is in Cambridge Massachusetts

[elliemay1]

Originally referred to Cambridge, England, but later use also includes Cambridge, Massachusetts or Harvard University

Thanks all.
