History

 The University is viewed as the fourth-most seasoned establishment of advanced education in the United States and in addition the first college in the United States with both undergrad and graduate studies. 

This statue of Benjamin Franklin gave by Justus C. Strawbridge to the City of Philadelphia in 1899 now sits before College Hall. 

In 1740, a gathering of Philadelphia joined together to erect an extraordinary lecturing corridor for the voyaging evangelist George Whitefield, who visited the American provinces conveying outside sermons. The building was planned and fabricated by Edmund Woolley and was the biggest building in the city at the time. It was at first wanted to serve as a philanthropy school too; in any case, an absence of trusts constrained arrangements for the house of prayer and school to be suspended. In the fall of 1749, avid to make a school to instruct future eras, Benjamin Franklin flowed a flyer titled "Recommendations Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania. He upheld a creative idea of advanced education, one which would educate both the elaborate learning of expressions of the human experience and the handy abilities fundamental for bringing home the bacon and doing open administration. The proposed system of study could have turned into the country's first advanced aesthetic sciences educational program, in spite of the fact that it was never actualized on the grounds that William Smith, an Anglican minister who was executive at the time, and different trustees favored the conventional educational module. 

Franklin gathered a leading group of trustees from among the main subjects of Philadelphia, the first such non-partisan board in America. At the initially meeting of the 24 individuals from the Board of Trustees (November 13, 1749) the issue of where to find the school was a prime concern. Despite the fact that a great deal crosswise over Sixth Street from the old Pennsylvania State House (later renamed and broadly referred to since 1776 as "Freedom Hall"), was offered without expense by James Logan, its manager, the Trustees understood that the building raised in 1740, which was still empty, would be a far better site. The first patrons of the lethargic building still owed extensive development obligations and asked Franklin's gathering to accept their obligations and, appropriately, their inert trusts. On February 1, 1750 the new board assumed control over the building and trusts of the old board. On August 13, 1751, the "Foundation of Philadelphia", utilizing the immense corridor at fourth and Arch Streets, took in its first optional understudies. A philanthropy school additionally was opened as per the expectations of the first "New Building" givers, despite the fact that it endured just a couple of years. In 1755, the "School of Philadelphia" was sanctioned, making ready for the expansion of undergrad direction. Each of the three schools had the same Board of Trustees and were thought to be a piece of the same establish.
