Explanation:

The statement needs evidence that John Harvard did not expect a university to be named after him. The sentence "Little did young Harvard dream of the fame to be attached to his name for this modest act of charity" directly states he did not foresee the fame (including the university being named for him) from his donation. Additionally, "And even less could he have dreamed that his little library of four hundred books would one day increase to more than eight million" reinforces that he had no anticipation of the institution's growth tied to his name, which aligns with not expecting the university to bear his name.

Answer:

1. Little did young Harvard dream of the fame to be attached to his name for this modest act of charity.
2. And even less could he have dreamed that his little library of four hundred books would one day increase to more than eight million.
