Coll., i. 1), states that this foundation of the College was laid Sept. 8, 1636, overlooking the fact that the General Court, which met on that day, adjourned until October, and made this grant on the 28th day of that month. The College was ordered to be established at Newtown, Nov. 15, 1637, and the town granted to the Professor 2 2/3 acres of land, on which Holworthy, Stoughton, and Hollis Halls are supposed to stand.
