Roxbury School, Boston's first endowed institution since 1645
The Roxbury Latir School, Boston's historic endowed school opened in 1645, still exists. City records show picnic tables placed on fields and taxes on the Eastern Heights and South fields totaling about 328 dollars yearly, with other fields taxed around 150 dollars. City discussions consider armor for man and horse and plan to repurpose fields to satisfy removal from the tax rolls.
