1638, Connecticut in North America became a British colony. A group of British colonists crossed the ocean to settle in Quinnipiac Bay and gradually developed it into a prosperous port of New Haven. Reverend John Davenport thinks that education can make European civilization take root in the United States, so he proposes to establish a university here. Although his plan was frustrated many times, his ideas influenced many local people. At 170 1, a group of congregational missionaries, led by James pierpont, persuaded the Kangzhou court to agree to establish a religious school, so that young people could "learn art and science" ... and serve the church and the country. 10 The pastor entrusted to manage the school took out 40 books from their small library as the capital of the school. 170 1 10 In June, the clergy elected Abraham Pearson, a graduate of Harvard University, as the first principal, and the missionary school was formally established. But it was not until the following March that the school had its first student, Jacob Hemingway. 1707 The first batch of students 18 received their bachelor's degrees. There were no school buildings at the beginning, and students were scattered in six cities in Connecticut. 17 16, the trustee voted unanimously to move the school to new haven. 17 18, Mr. elihu yale, a senior official of the British East India Company, donated nine bundles of goods with a total value of 562 pounds, 12 shillings, 4 17 books, and the portrait and coat of arms of King George I of England to this missionary school. These items look extremely ordinary now, when Yale was a baby. In order to thank Mr. Yale for his donation, the school was officially renamed "Yale College", which is the predecessor of Yale University today. From 1930s to 1980s, with the unremitting efforts of Bishop Berkeley, Reverend stiles and President Porter, Yale gradually developed from a college to a university. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the rapid development of American education, Yale has developed to an amazing scale.
