Harvard is one of America's greatest assets. I can see why you hate it so much.

They get money to develop great scientific advancements for the USA. They were never a seminary. Technically, they have always been nondenominational, so could not have been a seminary. They were de facto Puritan, who did not believe in seminaries.

The national average is 3.071, with the lowest state average being $2.612. There might be a station or two below $2.00, but they are scams. The right wing will take a station that is closed, open it for one car that is sold $1.99 gasoline, and then close it again.

As of October 24, 2025, GasBuddy reports the current US national average retail price for regular unleaded gasoline at $2.98 per gallon. This reflects a continued decline from the sub-$3.00 levels first hit over the weekend, driven by increased OPEC+ oil production.

Harvard was originally a seminary that trained ministers, as it was founded in 1636 by Puritan leaders to serve the religious needs of the colony

Puritans did not believe there should be seminaries. They believed education was important, especially for religious leaders, but did not believe in seminaries. They wanted the education to be more broad.

Take it up with Wikipedia. And Harvard.

Yes, Harvard University can be considered a seminary in its earliest form (1636–early 18th century) due to its founding purpose of training Puritan clergy and its initial curriculum. However, it evolved beyond this role over time, especially by the 18th century, and was never formally a seminary in the modern denominational sense. Harvard University was established in 1636 by a vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, with significant support from Puritan settlers.

According to the Harvard University website (www.harvard.edu) (www.harvard.edu), John Harvard, the first major benefactor, donated half his estate and over 400 books, though he did not found the institution himself.

The official founding was driven by the Puritan desire to train clergy for the new English-speaking world, as noted in the "Harvard in the 17th and 18th Centuries" research guide on guides.library.harvard.edu. This guide states that Harvard was created "to train and educate clergy," and religion played a dominant role in its early curriculum, with a focus on Greek, Latin, and Hebrew for scriptural interpretation.Wikipedia’s page on "History of Harvard University" (as of the latest updates) aligns with this, describing Harvard as initially founded to address the shortage of trained ministers in the colony.

All of its 17th-century presidents were clergymen, and the curriculum heavily emphasized theology, reflecting its Puritan roots.
