Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world's universities, came

from very inauspicious and humble beginning.

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

universities graduates in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same

educational opportunities that they themselves had had. Because of this support in the colony for an

institution of higher learning, the General

Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the

following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne,

which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day

university.

When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of

Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the

fledgling 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 standard, 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 freshmen class of

four students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire

teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.
