Many American universities were founded even prior to American independence
This American university was the 8th of the 9 colleges founded during the colonial period, originally named in honor of a ruling figure in England. The name was changed in 1825 as a tribute to a colonel who provided funding to the school during a time of great economic instability. What is the name of this university?
Use this picture as a hint!
Here is the answer to yesterday’s question!
The answer is Gerald Ford! He was the 38th president of the US, serving from 1974 to 1977. He became president when his predecessor, Richard Nixon, resigned in 1974. Ford did not win any election for his first term, and did not win the race for his reelection, making him the only person to become President of the United States without winning an election
