452 THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
" all universities, colleges, academies, incorporated, erected, ordained, or established by virtue of any law of this commonwealth, with the grounds thereto annexed, from all and every county, road, city, borough, poor, and school tax." This act received judicial construction in the case of the City of Phil- adelphia vs. The Trustees, 8 Wright, 360, where it was held that the medical hall of the University, occupied by the faculty, whose compensation was derived from the proceeds of their respective chairs, was under it exempt from taxation. Section 1, Ar- ticle IX, of the present constitution of the state provides that the assembly may by general law ex- empt from taxation "institutions of purely public charity," and the act of May 14, 1874, passed in pursuance of this article of the constitution, relieves from county, city, borough, bounty, road, school, and poor tax all universities, colleges, seminaries, and academies "endowed and maintained by public or private charity."
In 1838 the legislature made provision for an annual appropriation of one thousand dollars for ten years to each university maintaining four professors and instructing one hundred students. The Univer-
453
IN ITS RELATIONS TO THE STATE
sity of Pennsylvania received the annual sum until 1843. In that year the appropriation was reduced one-half, and the following year it failed utterly. The act of May 11, 1871, extended the power of the trustees to acquire real and personal property, and enabled them to hold an additional amount to the clear annual value of thirty thousand dollars. In 1872 the state gave to the University the sum of one hundred thousand dollars upon condition that it should raise an additional sum of two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars, "the entire appro- priation to be expended in the erection of a gen- eral hospital in connection with said institution, in which at least two hundred beds free for persons injured shall be forever maintained," and the fol- lowing year a further sum of one hundred thousand dollars for the same purpose, upon the condition that it should raise a like amount. By the act of May 29, 1889, the state made an appropriation of twelve thousand five hundred dollars, to be paid to the trustees for the erection of a veterinary hos- pital, upon the condition that they should furnish free of cost "to deserving young men of this state to the number of not less than twelve in attendance
454 THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
at one time, said young men to be nominated by the governor of the commonwealth, and in per- petuity, free instruction in the art and science of veterinary medicine and surgery." It is interest- ing to note that this last act of legislation affecting the welfare of the University is one of generosity upon the part of the state, looking toward en- larged usefulness in the conduct of the institution and the further extension of its benefits among the people of Pennsylvania, and that the broad- minded and liberal policy adopted by Thomas Penn one hundred and forty years ago has been continued down to the present time. In the language of General John F. Hartranft, himself a distinguished soldier, governor of the state, and president of the board of trustees, in an address at the inauguration of the hospital thus established, this policy is "in keeping with the generosity of the great state which gave this institution its cor- porate existence, and is to-day, and it is hoped always will be proud of her offspring, the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania."
When the impartial historian comes to record the many events in which Pennsylvania has reason
IN ITS RELATIONS TO THE STATE
455
to take great pride, not the least of them will be the fact that in her first constitution, that of 1776, she made it a part of the fundamental law that "all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more universities."
