Institutional Support and Commitment to Continuous Improvement I.1. Identity & Self Assessment I.1.1. History Mission History and Mission of Philadelphia University Philadelphia University was founded in 1884 as the Philadelphia Textile School in the wake of the 1876 Centennial Exposition. Led by Theodore Search, a group of textile manufacturers noticed a sizable gap between the quality and variety of American textile products and those displayed by European mills. To address this, the group established the School to educate America’s textile workers and managers. The Philadelphia Textile School entered a period of growth at the outset of World War II, when it was granted the right to award baccalaureate degrees and changed its name to the Philadelphia Textile Institute. Following the war, it moved to its present site in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. Continued growth led the institute to become the Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science (PCT&S) in 1961. Over the decades, the campus grew through the acquisition of adjacent properties, and academic offerings expanded to include programs in the arts and sciences, business administration, and architecture and design. Reflecting the institution’s breadth and depth, in 1999 the College was granted university status by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and became Philadelphia University. The most recent academic reorganization of the University, in July 2011, resulted in the creation of three colleges: the College of Design, Engineering and Commerce (formerly the Schools of Design + Media, Engineering and Textiles, and Business Administration); the College of Architecture and the Built Environment (formerly the School of Architecture); and the College of Science, Health and the Liberal Arts (formerly the Schools of Science and Health and of Liberal Arts). Since this APR documents the progress of the Architecture Program during the last six years, throughout the report the old structure of the School of Architecture is used whenever possible. The University’s niche in today’s world of higher education continues to provide quality professional education based on a strong liberal arts foundation. Thoughout its existence, the institution has had as the core of its mission the service to industry and society. Outstanding teaching as well as research and professional practice are the avenues for faculty development, from which students benefit. Today, the 3,700 students gain professional skills combined with a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences that enables them to thrive in diverse and changing contexts and to maintain a global perspective. This attitude underpins the University’s signature “Nexus Learning” approach, which is characterized by active and collaborative learning that is connected to the real world and infused by the liberal arts. The current University mission is presented in the Faculty Handbook (Fall 2009 edition):

  • The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’S Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century
    The Battles of Germantown: Public History and Preservation in America’s Most Historic Neighborhood During the Twentieth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David W. Young Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Saul Cornell David Steigerwald Copyright by David W. Young 2009 Abstract This dissertation examines how public history and historic preservation have changed during the twentieth century by examining the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1683, Germantown is one of America’s most historic neighborhoods, with resonant landmarks related to the nation’s political, military, industrial, and cultural history. Efforts to preserve the historic sites of the neighborhood have resulted in the presence of fourteen historic sites and house museums, including sites owned by the National Park Service, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the City of Philadelphia. Germantown is also a neighborhood where many of the ills that came to beset many American cities in the twentieth century are easy to spot. The 2000 census showed that one quarter of its citizens live at or below the poverty line. Germantown High School recently made national headlines when students there attacked a popular teacher, causing severe injuries. Many businesses and landmark buildings now stand shuttered in community that no longer can draw on the manufacturing or retail economy it once did. Germantown’s twentieth century has seen remarkably creative approaches to contemporary problems using historic preservation at their core.
