The History of Harvard University
Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States.
Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies into states.
In the early years, these schools were much alike.
Only young men attended college.
All the students studied the same subjects and everyone learned Latin and Greek.
Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.
In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors.
Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard Law School.
In 1825, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek.
