Williams College,
An educational institution in Williamstown, Mass., founded by Col. Ephraim Williams (q. v.). The funds left by Colonel Williams for founding a free school were allowed to accumulate.
A free school was incorporated in 1785, under the control of nine trustees, and a lottery was granted for raising funds to erect a schoolhouse.
About $3,500 was thus obtained, when the inhabitants of the town contributed about $2,000 more.
A large building, four stories high (afterwards the West College) was erected in 1790, and on Oct. 20, 1791, the free school was opened, with Rev. Ebenzer Fitch as its first principal.
It was incorporated a college in 1793, under the title of Williams's Hall.
The property vested in the free school was transferred to the college, and the State appropriated $4,000 for the purchase of apparatus and a library.
Mr. Fitch was its first president, and the first commencement was in 1795, when four students graduated.
