About Institution
The University of Pennsylvania dates its founding to 1740, when a prominent evangelist, George Whitefield, and others established an educational trust fund and began construction of a large school building at Fourth and Arch streets in Philadelphia.
The building was designed as a charity school for the children of working-class Philadelphians and as a house of worship for Whitefield's followers.
