  8. Word of the Day! Sample sentences: HARVARD COLLEGE: AMERICA'S PIONEER ELEEMOSYNARY CORPORATION • Harvard College, which was chartered in 1636, is almost invariably referred to in efforts to justify the essential Americanness of our nonprofit institutions. It is true that Harvard is the nation's oldest corporation. It is incontestable that it enjoyed early support from individual benefactors both in the colonies and in England. But, as the following documents will show, its evolution towards being a private nonprofit institution as the term is commonly understood was painfully slow and fiercely contested. Because its governing boards were dominated by ministers of the tax supported established churches of the Boston area and elected officials until the mid nineteenth century, it is difficult to consider it a privately-governed institution. Moreover, before 1845, government contributions to Harvard ranged between a third and two-thirds of its annual revenues -- http://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/phall/04.%20Harvard.pdf
