Educational opportunities that they themselves had

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 standards, 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 freshman 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.
