American universities have come a long way over the last 500 years. What started out as one college run by one man has come to be thousands of colleges across the country with over 18 million students. This is the evolution of the American university.
The 1600s: Harvard Founded
In 1936, the first university was founded. Initially, the college was called “New College” or “the college at New Towne.” We now know this college as Harvard University. It holds the prestigious title of the oldest and the first institution of higher education in the United States.
In 1640, Henry Dunster became president of Harvard. Not only was he president, but he taught all the classes himself.
