Excerpt from Guide Through Mount Auburn: A Hand-Book for Passengers Over the Cambridge Railroad, Illustrated With Engravings and a Plan of the Cemetery

Cambridge is principally noted throughout the country as the seat of the oldest College in the United States. The town, originally called Newtowne, was settled in 1630, soon after the settlement of Boston. It had originally a very large extent of territory, the greater portion of which has since been set off, and now forms several of the adjoining towns. "Scarcely had the venerable founders of New England felled the trees of the forest," says Dr. Holmes, in his American Annals, "when they began to provide means to insure the stability of their colony. Learning and religion they wisely judged to be the firmest pillars of the commonwealth." In 1636, the General Court appropriated four hundred pounds towards the erection of a public school at Newtowne. In 1638, John Harvard, a minister of Charlestown, left by will nearly eight hundred pounds, to be devoted to the support of this school. The General Court soon after ordered that the school, in honor of its earliest benefactor, should be called Harvard College, and the town Cambridge, in memory of the place in England at whose university several of the most influential of the colonists had received their education. From that day to this, the College has been carried on successfully, constantly increasing in reputation throughout the country and the world, until now it is the best endowed of all our colleges, and with regard to library, professorships, and other literary advantages in general, it is the first institution of its kind in the United States. Hayward, in his Massachusetts Gazetteer, says truly that "the establishment of this College, 'consecrated to Christ and the Church,' has been generally regarded as a striking proof of the far-seeing wisdom of the fathers of Massachusetts. It shared the prayers and best wishes of ministers and churches, and proved the nursery of many 'plants of renown,' distinguished, not in the walks of sacred labor alone, but in council, at the bar, upon the bench, and even in the field."
