The first grant which the town of Cambridge gave to Harvard College was four and a half acres where Holworthy, Hollis and Stoughton now stand. From that time until 1883, when the last purchase was made, it was gradually increased until the 24 acres which now constitute the Yard were procured. In the earliest years of the College history, the town palisades to keep off the Indians ran along the western border of the present Yard, and at the corner of Harvard square was a hill on which a sentry watched continually. The College woodpile was on the site of University Hall and the field on which Sever Hall was built was a swamp and huckle-berry patch. There were several wooden buildings on the hill by the square of which Wadsworth House still remains.
