Happy Birthday, Penn State
Penn State celebrates its 168th birthday today (Feb. 22). On this day in 1855, the institution was incorporated as an agricultural college. This iconic image of the unfinished, original Old Main in 1859 is one of the few surviving photographs from that era. Read more about Penn State’s founding, including why it was initially named the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania.
