A brief history of the Colonial Colleges, the nine colleges chartered in the United States before the American Revolution. Followed by an in depth look at the background and growth of the institutions: Harvard, The College of William & Mary, Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Columbia University, Brown University, Rutgers University, and Dartmouth College. Including a description of the role of these historical universities in modern day. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
