Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s
prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New
Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that
they themselves had had, Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher
learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in
October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school;
this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its

neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his
estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In spite of the fact that only half of the
bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in
appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large,
particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it
necessary to appropriate in order to open the college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it
should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with
an entering freshmen class of four students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for
the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three
or four tutors.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half
of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and
variety. New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in
the literature of this half century.
As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved
remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the
sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms,
in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were
polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its
narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed,
were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer,
finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women.
In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt
Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each
state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world ... connecting an American citizen
