It was founded April 23, 1635 by the Town of Boston (see Footnotes), antedating Harvard College by more than a year. The curriculum of the school is centered in the humanities, its founders sharing with the ancient Greeks the belief that the only good things are the goods of the soul. Edmund Burke referred to America as exemplifying the "dissidence of dissent." From its beginning, Boston Latin School has taught its scholars dissent with responsibility and has persistently encouraged such dissent." Some of the famous alumni of the school (all of which pre-date these Registers) include Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Joseph P.
