Harvard University, today recognized as part of ửie top echelon of the world’s universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginnings.
This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after The Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these university graduates in the New World were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that thev themselves had had. Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher leaming, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following ycar decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newtown, which was later renamed Cambridge after its Ensiish cousitt and is the site of the present - day university.
When a young minister namcd John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestown, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the Aedslins college. In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s standards, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshman class of four students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entừe teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.
