Harvard College ... (now, University)...Not true! Harvard was the first school in the colonies, but Dickinson College came about less than a week after the Treaty of Paris officially ended the Revolution, which guaranteed international recognition of the United States of America (making it the first college in the US).Talk about semantics-- The first college established on what we know as present day America was Henricus College in 1619.
