What is the oldest school for higher education in the United States?

• Harvard University:Harvard University, founded in 1636, is the oldest school for higher education in the United States. Members of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony established the school, naming it after a Boston-area minister named John Harvard. Upon his deathbed in 1638, Harvard bequeathed his book collection and 800 pounds - half his estate - to the college. In honor of the gift, the university commissioned a bronze statue of the clergyman, which now sits in front of University Hall on the school's Cambridge campus. Tourists often rub Harvard's left toe for good luck. Sources: Harvard University and Harvard Magazine.
