The Indian College's building, located in Harvard Yard, was completed in 1656.

  • The Indian College was an institution established in the 1640s in order to educate Native American students at Harvard College in the town of Cambridge, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Indian College's building, located in Harvard Yard, was completed in 1656. It housed a printing press used to publish the first Bible translated into a Native American language, the Eliot Indian Bible of 1663, which was also the first Bible in any language printed in British North America. The Indian College was supported financially by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England, a Christian missionary charity based in London. It attracted only a handful of students and was closed in 1693, after which the building was demolished and its bricks used for another construction in Harvard Yard. Some Native American students, however, attended Harvard afterwards. In 1997, the authorities of Harvard University installed a plaque commemorating the Indian College. In 2009, remnants of the original Indian College were discovered during an archaeological dig in Harvard Yard and parts of the original printing press were recovered. (en)
