first time in Pennsylvania-yes, for the first time in American history-higher education and its claims upon the State, were made a part of the organic law of the Commonwealth. For the mandate of this first constitution was “that all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more universities." The purpose and object of this provision, well known and understood at the time, were to protect the cause of higher education in the college and academy, for this was the only institution then in existence to which the constitutional mandate could apply." But Franklin and his co-trustees were not content with the constitutional mandate alone. It must be enforced; and so, later, on November 27, 1779, the Assembly passed an act to carry into effect this provision of the constitution, declaring in the preamble of the act that its purpose was "to alter the charter" of the academy and college "comformable to the Revolution and to the Constitution and Government of this Commonwealth, and to erect the same into an university." Here, then we have the graduation of the school, academy and college, into the university; and the corpcrate name given it was "The University of the State of Pennsylvania.”.... The act directed, as an endowment, that the confiscated estates of the Loyalists should be preserved to create a fund for the maintenance of the university.

Ten years later a repealing act was passed, whereby its property and privileges were reinvested in the "College." But, once more, and finally, the Legislature, on September 30, 1791, united the College and the University, and vested the estates of both in the board of trustees, twenty-four in number, as now constituted. And the Governor of the Commonwealth was made ex-officio president of the board. And this time the name given to the corporation was "The University of Pennsylvania."

One other provision must needs be mentioned-that "The trustees shall annually lay a statement of the funds of the institution before the Legislature of the Commonwealth." Thus was the true relationship of the State and its University established by the constitution and the laws of the Commonwealth-a relationship that still exists, and will........always continue to exist, to the infinite credit and advantage of both.

Thomas Mifflin, (1760 College) then Governor of Pennsylvania, called the first meeting of the board of trustees at the office of the Secretary of State and presided over it and directed the organization and proceedings of the board.............. In recognition of its responsibility and duty, the State from time to time made appropriations for the maintenance of professorships, the establishment of the University Hospital and the Department of Veterinary Medicine, and other buildings; while the biennial appropriations for the general up-keep of the University in recent years are so fresh in recollection as not to need mention.

In 1802 the University purchased new grounds on Ninth street, between Market and Chestnut, where the Post Office building now is; there until 1829 the University occupied the building erected for the administrative mansion of the President of the United States; there new buildings were erected after 1829; and from these the University removed to its present site in 1872.

The Provosts have been: 1755-1779 and 1789-1803, William Smith; 1779-1791, of the University of the State of Pennsylvania, John Ewing; 1791-1802, of the University of Pennsylvania, John Ewing; 1807-1810, John McDowell; 1810-1813, John Andrews; 1813-1828, Frederick Beasley; 1828-1833, William Heathcote De Lancey; 1834-1853, John Ludlow; 1854-1859, Henry Vethake; 1860-1868, Daniel Rayes Goodwin; 1868-1880, Charles Janeway Stillé; 1881-1894, William Pepper; 1894-1911, Charles C. Harrison; 1911-1920, Edgar F. Smith; 1920-1922 (acting Provost) Josiah H. Penniman.

Among the most recent developments of the University are the organization of the Graduate School of Medicine in 1919 and of the School of Fine Arts in 1920, and the opening of courses for Dental Hygienists in 1921.

The Graduate School of Medicine is an outgrowth of the merger, 1916-1918, of the Medico-Chirurgical and Polyclinic Hospitals and Colleges with the University of Pennsylvania. On this basis, the University has bound together in one co-operative group fifty-five Philadelphia medical laboratories, libraries, museums, hospitals, clinics, universities and societies. Other organizations in Philadelphia and elsewhere are added yearly. The result is an opportunity for medical research and special investigation which draws graduated physicians from many states and countries. At present no similar opportunity for advanced medical study is offered elsewhere in the world.

The School of Fine Arts combines the course in Architecture, which long ago reached a very high efficiency and reputation in the profession, with the courses in Fine Arts, and the courses in Music, which are to be much expanded.

The University of Pennsylvania for nearly ten years has been engaged in Extension work throughout the State, with four principal centers located at Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Harrisburg, and Reading. There are also a number of Extra-mural courses for teachers given in many smaller cities. Extension work by means of lectures and demonstrations is also given throughout a wide territory by members of the Faculty of the School of Veterinary Medicine. A three-year course in Finance and Commerce leading to a Certificate of Proficiency and taught by members of the Wharton School Faculty is given in the four principal Extension Cities. Courses for teachers are also conducted in these centers by members of the Faculties of the College and of the School of Education. During the school year of 1921-22, more than 1500 students were enrolled in the Extension and Extra-mural courses given by the University. The tuition is low, as the State has made appropriations to assist in defraying the expenses. The Extension courses afford an educational opportunity to many hard-working and ambitious young men and women.

The University occupies in West Philadelphia for educational purposes about 110 acres of ground and more than fifty buildings. The Flower Astronomical Observatory is situated in Delaware County.

The University's budget, exclusive of Hospitals, for the year 1921-1922 was $3,025, 000; the receipts from tuition and other fees were $2,037,000; from invested funds $277,000; and from the State of Pennsylvania $615,000; exclusive of Hospitals. The University's endowment funds amount to $5,855,000; which is much smaller than the amount of endowment for any other of the large eastern Universities.

Included in the University student body in 1921-22 were students from all the counties of Pennsylvania, from forty-six other states, and from forty-four foreign countries.
