Each of Harvard's houses did provide a Facebook, which is why Mark was able to create Facemash in 2003.

houseSYSTEM's Facebook was the first "universal face book" at Harvard University.

I offered to sell or just give houseSYSTEM to Harvard, and HASCS turned me down, probably because they insisted that everything had to be done in Java using Harvard's internal iSites framework. Instead they built their own version and launched it a couple of years later.
