John Harvard and Elihu Yale are two people who contributed to the development of two colleges in the US, named in their hour.

John Harvard was an English pastor who has donated greatly to the college during the time when the college needed it the most, which is why Harvard is named after him.

Elihu Yale was a merchant who donated greatly to Yale college, renamed in his honour.
