John Harvard (1607–1638) was an English Puritan minister in colonial New England whose deathbed bequest to the
"schoale or colledge"
founded two years earlier by the Massachusetts Bay Colony was so gratefully received that the colony consequently ordered "that the
Colledge
agreed upon formerly to
be
built at
Cambridge shalbee
called Harvard
Colledge".
