Harvard was started as an institution to train up Christian ministers. Matter of fact, their motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae, which means 'Truth for Christ and the Church.' Yale University was started when ten ministers thought Harvard had become too liberal, so they started their own college! Students who attended Yale were required to 'live religious, godly and blameless lives according to the rules of God's Word, diligently reading the Holy Scriptures, the fountain of light and truth; and constantly attend upon all the duties of religion, both in public and secret.' They were also instructed to '... consider the main end of his study to wit to know God in Jesus Christ' and 'to lead a Godly, sober life.' Princeton University was founded by seven ministers after the Great Awakening to train ministers and offer other fields of study, as well.
