Hvilket universitet var det første i usa?
Harvard University
First university in the United States
Grundlæggelsesdatoen for University of Pennsylvania er forbundet med mere subjektivitet og institutionel debat end de mere direkte datoer, som de otte andre colleges fra kolonitiden bruger. Harvard University bruger 1636 som sin grundlæggelsesdato, det år, hvor Massachusetts Bay Colony's lovgivende forsamling formelt stemte for at budgettere midler til oprettelsen af et college i Newtowne, der senere blev kaldt Cambridge. De syv resterende colleges fra kolonitiden anser deres grundlæggelsesdatoer for at være det år, hvor de først fik tildelt chartre og dermed blev juridiske selskaber.
Harvard University
First university in the United States
The founding date of the University of Pennsylvania is associated with more subjectivity and institutional debate than the more straightforward dates used by the eight other colonial era colleges. Harvard University uses as its founding date 1636, the year in which the legislature of the Massachusetts Bay Colony formally voted to budget funds for the creation of a college in Newtowne, later called Cambridge. The seven remaining colonial era colleges consider their founding dates to be the year in which they were first granted charters and thus became legal corporations.
