George Washington's connections with Harvard began when he arrived in Cambridge on July 2, 1775. His headquarters were at first in Wadsworth House, the building, still standing, which was used for many years as the home of the College President. Harvard College had already been removed to Concord, and only President Laugden's office was maintained in Wadsworth House while Washington used it as headquarters. Meals for several thousand soldiers were at this time cooked in the college kitchen, and the college buildings were used to quarter troops pending the building of barracks on Cambridge Common.
