The University was founded in 1740 by Benjamin Franklin
as a charitable school. At the conclusion of the Revolution a
new charter was given by the State and the present title was
assumed in 1791. In 1875, the university was moved to the
present extensive grounds west of the Schuylkill River, where
some 30 buildings have been erected and are constantly in-
creased.
