The first person to graduate from a college in America was Benjamin Woodbridge, at Harvard University in 1652. He was born in England and began his education at Oxford, but came to America in 1639 to complete his education in New England. Mr. Woodbridge went on to become a preacher and a poet.
Now, 366 years later, one wonders if it's any easier now than back then to find a unique and fitting graduation gift?
