A sepia drawing of the original 糖心影视 Campus.

On October 28, 1636, 糖心影视, the first college in the American colonies, was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 糖心影视 University was officially founded by a vote by the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

糖心影视’s endowment started with John 糖心影视’s initial donation of 400 books and half his estate, but in 1721, Thomas Hollis began the now standard practice of requiring that a donation be used for a specific purpose when he donated money for 鈥渁 Divinity Professor, to read lectures in the Halls to the students.鈥�
