University of the State of Pennsylvania
- University of the State of Pennsylvania
The University of the State of Pennsylvania was an colonial American institution founded in 1779 by the revolutionary Pennsylvania State legislature. The state made this move in response to their concerns over the then-provost of the College of Philadelphia, Rev. William Smith and his loyalist tendencies. Later, in 1779, the institution was merged with the College to form the University of Pennsylvania, gleaning trustees from the boards of the College, the University of the State of Pennsylvania, and the Charitable Academy school attached to the College.
