    In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college.  All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew.  Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world.  When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.

In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German.  Soon it began teaching American history.
