Expanded Biographical/Historical Narrative
Harvard College was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was named
for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown. Harvard was a young minister who, upon his death in 1638, left his
library and half of his estate to the new institution. In its early years, the College offered a classic academic course based
on the English university model, but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy of the first colonists. Although many
of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan congregations throughout New England, the College was never formally affiliated
with a specific religious denomination. The 1708 election of John Leverett, the first president who was not also a clergyman,
marked a turning of the College toward intellectual independence from Puritanism. As the College grew in the 18th and 19th
centuries, the curriculum was broadened, particularly in the sciences, and the College produced or attracted a long list of
famous scholars. The 19th century brought the development of several graduate schools, including the Law and Medical schools,
and transformed the College into a world class research university.
Hamilton Vaughan Bail was a Harvard alumnus who avidly collected ephemera and rare printed works relating to the history of
the college. He also wrote several articles about his undergraduate institution, and remained active in alumni organizations.
The Hamilton Bail Harvard collection reflects Bail's passionate interest in Harvard as a uniquely American educational and
social institution.
Scope and Content
The Hamilton Bail Harvard collection consists of rare books, ephemera, periodicals, reprints, and articles relating to Harvard
College and the development of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Notable items include an early printed tract
by Cotton Mather, 17th and 18th century sermons by Boston ministers relating to the College, a pamphlet bound in a rare Thomas
Hollis binding from Hollis' personal library, and commencement, class day, and alumni ephemera such as class songs, printed
theses, and exhibition day programs. Other interesting items include an invitation to President Abraham Lincoln's funeral
(addressed to the Harvard student body), manuscript and print materials relating to presidents Edward Everett and Charles
Eliot, ephemera from student clubs and alumni organizations, and material related to the student uprisings of 1807 and 1834.
