Introduction to Harvard University

Harvard University is a private institution of higher learning. It was founded in 1636, almost a century and a half before the establishment of the United States as an independent country. At that time, the English Puritans who emigrated to the United States set up the first institution of higher learning in American history on the Charles River in Massachusetts, imitating the model of Cambridge University at that time. This rising town was formerly known as Cambridge College, and has since been called Cambridge, which is transliterated in Chinese. 1639, and the name of the school was changed to Harvard College, in order to permanently commemorate john harvard, one of the founders of the school and the main donor of school funds, and the Master of Arts of Emmanuel College, Cambridge University, England.

1780, Harvard College was promoted to Harvard University by Massachusetts Parliament, and this name has been used to this day, and it is often referred to as Harvard for short. Harvard University is the first of eight members of an Ivy League school.
