Started in 1636, Harvard
University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United
States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia 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, and only young
men attended college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone
learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. 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's law school. In 1825 Harvard
began teaching modern languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin
and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history. As knowledge increased,
Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were
allowed to choose the subjects that interested them. Special colleges for women
were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming,
engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and
universities. Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with
special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school
cannot offer it all.
