On this episode of Our American Stories, before Harvard became one of the world's most prestigious universities, it was founded with a very different purpose: to educate ministers and ensure that future generations could read, understand, and teach the Bible. Scripture shaped the school's earliest curriculum, its mission, and even its student handbook.

As part of our ongoing 100 Bible Verses That Made America series, Robert Morgan shares the remarkable story of Harvard's Christian origins and explains how faith helped lay the foundation not only for America's first college, but for higher education throughout the colonies.
