University of Pennsylvania

The University of Pennsylvania (commonly known as Penn) is a private Ivy League research university that dates its founding to 1740 under prominent evangelist George Whitefield. During construction as the cost exceeded the available resources, the project remained stalled for almost a decade. Then in 1749, Benjamin Franklin, the future founding father of US, led the way and with the help of 24 trustees opened the university in 1751 as the ‘ Academy and Charitable School in the Province of Pennsylvania’. The core campus of Penn stretches 299 acres in the city of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, United States.
