Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, around 1700 was a small school on the edge of a farming town just across the Charles River from Boston. The General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony had founded it in 1636, and it took the name of the minister John Harvard, whose bequest in 1638 gave it a library and its name. Its chief purpose was training young men for the ministry, and Increase Mather, a prominent Boston clergyman, served as its president during these years, when Puritan church and colonial politics dominated public talk. Students lived and studied under strict rules, and New England families sent sons here expecting them to return as preachers, lawyers, or magistrates.
