Book Description
Excerpt from University of Pennsylvania, 1740-1893: The History of the University and Its Present Work The Wharton School and the School of American His tory represent each a new idea in American education. The former was founded as an experiment in the education of busi ness men, and as a preliminary to the law, journalism or public life and has eminently justified the foresight of its founder. It recognizes the need for a broader preparation than has usually been given in the fields just mentioned, especially that of gen eral business. The quality of work done in the school is best shown in two volumes, one on The Development of American Industries, prepared and published by the Class of 1891, and the valuable work on Philadelphia and its Government, which has just been published by the Class of 1893. The school's success is also seen in the places held by its graduates, and the high praise accorded it by such a body as the American Bankers' Association. The special Work of the school is done in the Junior and Senior years. An excellent library in economics, history, and public law is owned by the school.

Excerpt from Early History of the University of Pennsylvania: From Its Origin to the Year 1827 Smith, D.D., Provost of the College, Academy, and Charitable School of Phila delphia, by Charles J. Stille, in 1869; and, in the same year, a History of the Med ical Department of the University of Penn sylvania, from its foundation to 1865, by Joseph Carson, M.D. The information contained in Dr. Stille's excellent memoir was afterwards used, with additions, in a Life of Dr. Smith by his great-grandson, Horace W.

Excerpt from The History of the University of Pennsylvania: From Its Origin to the Year 1827 The first colonists of Pennsylvania, were, perhaps, less ne gligent in providing the means of elementary instruction,7 than those of mest of the other settlements. In the year 1689, only seven years after the foundation of Philadelphia, a public school was established in this city, by members of the Society of Friends, which was 1ncorporated in 1697, and after undergoing various changes in its organization, re ceived, in 1711, a final charter from William Penn. Pif teen discreet and religious persons, of the people called Quakers, were constituted a Board of Overseers, and were vested with all the property and privileges of the corpora tion, together with the right of supplying vacancies in their own numbers George Keith, a native of Aberdeen, a man of learning, and famous in the history of the Friends, was the first teacher employed. In the school were taught the Latin language, the Mathematics, and the rudiments of an English education. Though supported by funds derived from the Society of Friends, and under the exclusive direc tion of members of that society, it was open indiscriminate ly to individuals of all religious denominations and for more than sixty years, continued to be the only public place of instruction m the province.

Excerpt from University of Pennsylvania: Its History, Traditions, Buildings and Memorials; Also a Brief Guide to Philadelphia To acquaint students, alumni and visitors with the equipment and resources of the University of Pennsylvania, and to assist the students and friends of the University in escorting visitors through the institution, the editor prepared, in 1904, a pamphlet descriptive of the principal buildings and objects of interest, which was the first edition of this Guide Book. The subsequent editions were illustrated and greatly enlarged. The first four editions had issues of from five to twenty thousand copies. The editor acknowledges the assistance given him by various officials of the University, and also information and data collected from a number of reports and pamphlets. The scope of the work prevents more than a brief historical account and description of the Departments, but full information will be furnished by the Recorder's Office on request; or those wishing information on the courses and various schools are referred to the general catalogue and departmental publications; and those desirous of looking up the historical development of the University are referred to the list of publications printed in this edition.
