After God had carried it safely to New England and we had built our houses, provided with what is necessary for our livelihood, reared convenient places for God's worship, and established the civil government: One of the next things we longed for and looked after was to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches when our present ministers lie in the dust.
Due to the desire of the founders of perpetuating a ministry scholar, the preparation for the learning and religious leadership continued to hold a position of importance as NVU grew.
