Thanks, but the logo is "Harvard '40" (note the apostrophe), indicating the year. There's a cool site with pics of Adam Hats' liners, listed by date order, indicating a nineteen-sixties era and calling said logo "Plaza/Harvard '40" (http://www.thehatmovement.co.uk/Adam/AdamLiners/Site/Adam Liners.html).Normally, a number is associated with the retail price of a hat, such as Stetson 25 or Mallory Ten. So I would assume you have a $40 hat. However, it's hard to tell anything without seeing the hat. A 40 dollar hat in the 40s or 50s would be a very nice hat.
You could also try looking through the Adam hat thread. Perhaps there is a reference to this model.

I've only seen/found two here at the lounge, one of which was squelched into a pork-pie.
Clearly an obscure model.
Here are some pics:
