Mea culpa. Yours is an even better illustration of my point. U of Penn claims (I THINK) to be the 1st University in the US--probably mean 1st one after 1776?

I think the conflict is that Harvard was founded as a college in 1636, but didn't attain the status of a University (a collection of colleges) until much later.
