An appropriation of £400 toward a "school or college" was voted on 28-oktyabr 1636-yil (OS), at a meeting which convened on September 8 and was adjourned to October 28. Some sources consider 28-oktyabr 1636-yil (OS) (7-noyabr 1636-yil NS) to be the date of founding. Harvardʼs 1936 tercentenary celebration treated September 18 as the founding date, though 1836 bicentennial was celebrated on 8-sentyabr 1836-yil. Sources: meeting dates, Quincy, Josiah.
