Introduction

The University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1740, is one of the nine colonial colleges established during the American colonial period. As a member of the Ivy League, the University of Pennsylvania has a long and distinguished history. The university founded the first medical school and the Wharton School in the United States, both of which are top institutions. In addition, the University of Pennsylvania is also the birthplace of the first large-scale computer in the United States. The motto of the University of Pennsylvania is "Laws without morals are useless," and the law school is also among the top in the United States. The university's architecture combines elements of Oxford and Cambridge universities to create a new Gothic style. Many famous scholars have received education there. The campus has several statues of founder Franklin, which are as well-known as the founder's statue at Harvard University and have become popular tourist attractions for sightseeing and photography. Every year, the National College Athletics Championships are also held at the University of Pennsylvania, which has become a proud tradition of the school.
