The old, the new Harvard

Harvard, the first college in North America, was established in 1636 for "Christ and the Church." The minister who founded the school, John Harvard, said: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main ends of his life and studies; to know God and Jesus Christ."
It's no wonder then that 52 percent of 17th century Harvard graduates became ministers! In fact, virtually every other Ivy League school such as Yale and Princeton was also established primarily to train ministers of the gospel and to evangelize. Sadly, today you will scarcely hear the name of God on the campuses of these great institutions.
