College Word Search
This college puzzle covers four years in one grid: the campus, dorm and roommate, freshman to senior year, the major, the syllabus and office hours, tuition and financial aid, and commencement at the end.
Harvard, founded in 1636, is the oldest college in the United States. It took its name two years later from John Harvard, a young minister who left the school his library of several hundred books and half his estate. In 1862 the Morrill Act gave states federal land to sell to pay for colleges teaching farming and engineering, and many large state universities began as these land grant colleges.
The oldest universities are much older. The University of Bologna in Italy dates to 1088, and al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco, was founded by Fatima al-Fihri in 859. Some college words come from those early schools. A dean was once an officer in charge of ten people, from the Latin decem, and commencement meant the start of a new master's right to teach, which is why the ceremony that ends college is named for a beginning.
