1875 Imposing Penn Pennsylvania Philadelphia Univ University
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the historic campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, as depicted in this stunning 1875 photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image captures the imposing Gothic architecture of the university, which has stood as a symbol of academic excellence and intellectual pursuits for over a century and a half. The University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1740, is one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution. In this photograph, we see the university's main campus, located in the West Philadelphia neighborhood. The image is dominated by the imposing Old College building, which served as the university's main administrative and academic building until the late 19th century. The photograph also showcases the horse-drawn carriage making its way through the campus, adding a touch of historical authenticity to the scene. The carriage, a common mode of transportation during the late 19th century, underscores the university's rich history and the importance of education during this time period. The Gothic Revival architecture, with its pointed arches, intricate stonework, and tall spires, is a testament to the university's commitment to creating an environment that inspires learning and intellectual growth. The university's motto, "Quis ut Deus," which translates to "Who is like unto God?" is inscribed on the Old College building, reminding us of the university's lofty aspirations and its role as a beacon of knowledge and wisdom. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the University of Pennsylvania's storied past and its enduring commitment to academic excellence. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in American history, higher education, or the Gothic architectural style.
