In 1640, emigration to New England practically ceased, in the pros- pect of radical changes at home, and the tide actually began to flow backward ; but the foundations had been secured, and the men who remained were strong enough to hold the results until, with the aid of the college at Cambridge,' the supply of home-trained material began to be ready to take the place of the elders. There can be no question that the Colony owed the early estab- lishment and the vigorous support of Harvard Coll...ege to the exertions of those who were familiar with the Cambridge and Oxford of the mother country, or, if we need still further to limit the proposition, to the educated ministry of these towns. The ministry was not in Mas- sachusetts, as in Plymouth, an ill-appreciated rarity. Up to the time when Harvard graduates were ready to take up the work, there had been some threescore ministers regularly inducted into Massachusetts pulpits ; and certainly not i?iore than half a dozen of the whole num- ber were destitute of university training.
