As per Franklin's personal history, it was in 1743 when he first had the thought to build up an institute, "thinking the Rev. Richard Peters a fit individual to superintend such an establishment." However, Peters declined an easygoing request from Franklin and nothing further was finished another six years.:30 In the fall of 1749, now more avid to make a school to instruct future eras, Benjamin Franklin coursed a leaflet titled "Recommendations Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania," his vision for what he called an "Open Academy of Philadelphia." Unlike the other Colonial universities that existed in 1749—Harvard, William and Mary, Yale and Princeton—Franklin's new school would not concentrate just on training for the ministry.

The first supporters of the lethargic building still owed significant development obligations and requested that Franklin's gathering expect their obligations and, in like manner, their idle trusts. On February 1, 1750 the new board assumed control over the building and trusts of the old board. On August 13, 1751, the "Institute of Philadelphia", utilizing the colossal lobby at fourth and Arch Streets, took in its first auxiliary understudies.

William Smith's "Follower" propensities, the progressive State Legislature made a University of the State of Pennsylvania.

At some point later in its initial history, Penn started to consider 1749 as its establishing date; this year was referenced for over a century, including at the centennial festival in 1849. In 1899, the leading group of trustees voted to change the establishing date prior once more, this opportunity to 1740, the date of "the production of the soonest of the numerous instructive trusts the University has taken upon itself." The leading group of trustees voted because of a three-year crusade by Penn's General Alumni Society to retroactively update the college's establishing date to seem more established than Princeton University, which had been sanctioned in 1746.
