Williams College
Williams College owes its name and
its origin to an educational bequest of
Colonel Ephraim Williams (who was
killed in the battle at Lake George in
1755) for the purpose of founding "a
Free School" in Williamstown. The
Free School was chartered in 1785 and
opened October 20, 1791, with the Rev.
Ebenezer Fitch as preceptor.
On June
22. 1793, by an act of legislature, Will-
iams college was established and to it
the property of the Free School was
transferred.
The picture on the opposite side
shows the first observatory in
America.
