The history of New York University begins in the early 19th century. A group of prominent New York City residents from the city's landed class of merchants,bankers,and traders established NYU on April 18,1831. These New Yorkers believed the city needed a university designed for young men who would be admitted based on merit,not birthright or social class. Albert Gallatin,one of the founders of the university,described his motivation in a letter to a friend:"It appeared to me impossible to preserve our democratic institutions and the right of universal suffrage unless we could raise the standard of general education and the mind of the laboring classes nearer to a level with those born under more favorable circumstances." For the school's founders,the classical curriculum offered at American colonial colleges needed to be combined with a more modern and practical education. Educators in Paris,Vienna,and London were beginning to consider a new form of higher learning,where students began to focus not only on the classics and religion,but also modern languages,philosophy,history,political economy,mathematics,and physical science;so students might become merchants,bankers,lawyers,physicians,architects,and engineers. Although the new school would be non-denominational –unlike many American colonial colleges,which at the time offered classical educations centered on theology –the founding of NYU was also a reaction by evangelical Presbyterians to what they perceived as the Episcopalianism of Columbia College.
