Name(date if possible)

My first thought was Harvard (year… I don’t know). My belief was that it was started by Ben Franklin. Then I had to find out for sure….

1636 Harvard College was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister who upon his death in 1638, left his library and half his estate to the new institution.

So it appears I was wrong on the Ben Franklin part, oh well!
