Harvard University



Harvard University is named for 30 year old clergyman John Harvard, who died in 1638 of tuberculosis. He willed his library of 400 books and about 800 British pounds to the then unnamed college in Cambridge. Only one book is believed to still exist from the original 400. It is The Christian Warfare Against the Devil World and Flesh.
