Princeton and the [[University of Pennsylvania]] both claim the fourth oldest founding date; the University of Pennsylvania once claimed 1749 as its founding date, making it fifth oldest, but in 1899, its trustees adopted a resolution which asserted 1740 as the founding date.<ref>{{Citation | publisher = [[University of Pennsylvania]] | url = http://www.upenn.edu/gazette/0902/thomas.html | title = Building Penn's Brand | newspaper = Gazette}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.princeton.edu/mudd/news/faq/topics/older.shtml |type=FAQ |title=Princeton vs. Penn: Which is the Older Institution? |publisher=Princeton |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20030319132644/http://www.princeton.edu/mudd/news/faq/topics/older.shtml |archivedate=Marso 19, 2003 |date=Pebrero 5, 2003 }}</ref> To further complicate the comparison of founding dates, a [[Log College]] was operated by [[William Tennent|William]] and [[Gilbert Tennent]], the Presbyterian ministers, in [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania]], from 1726 until 1746; it was once common to assert a formal connection between it and the College of New Jersey, which would justify Princeton pushing its founding date back to 1726. Princeton, however, has never done so and a Princeton historian says that the facts "do not warrant" such an interpretation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Log College |url=http://etcweb1.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/log_college.html |publisher=Princeton |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051117052303/http://etcweb1.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/log_college.html |archivedate=Nobyembre 17, 2005 |date=1978 }}</ref> [[Columbia University]] was chartered and began collegiate classes in 1754.
