What does the cryptic crossword clue "Some sum at Harvard? (4)" mean?

The definition is "Some sum at Harvard / m at H". The wordplay uses a hidden word. hidden, and what Americans call maths or mathematics. I always found this odd, as mathematics sounds plural, but it’s not. As Galileo said, “mathematics is the language with which God wrote the universe”. (Well, he said it in Italian). The answer is MATH.

Some sum at Harvard? (4)
