During the Great Awakening, what led to the foundation of several colleges in the New England colonies was that  New Lights and Old Lights founded colleges to train ministers.

The Great Awakening is the period from the 1730s to 1740s when colonists in America lived a religious revival in the Protestant church. Some people wanted change and new perspectives in the practice of their faith. They were called the New Lights. Others preferred to stay the same, under traditional practices and beliefs. They were called the Old Lights. So in that time of the Great Awakening in Massachusetts, both New Lights and Old Lights, founded colleges to train ministers.
