Miskatonic University

Miskatonic University is a small research university in Arkham, MA. It was founded in 1690 when the Great and General Court of Massachusetts chartered "the College of the Miskatonick Valleye upon the petition of the townes and parishes of Arkham, Innsmouth, Kingsport, and Newe Salem". As such it is one of the oldest colleges in the United States.
