Established decades before Harvard, what is North America's oldest university?

Although Harvard is the oldest university in the States, it's not the oldest in all of North America. That title would go to Mexico City's National Autonomous University of Mexico. The old university opened as the Royal and Pontifical University of New Spain in 1551, and although it was closed for a period, it reopened during the Mexican Revolution.
