375 years and still No. 1

IN 1636, the first liberal arts college was founded in the British American Colonies, known simply as the College at Cambridge.

It was renamed Harvard College three years later after a young puritan minister endowed it with one-half of his estate and all his 400 books. The college was already 140 years old when they became the United States. It commenced 375 years ago with just a dozen young scholars.
