Why it was founded
Fun fact: From the beginning, Joseph Wharton (founder of the school and notable industrialist and philanthropist) defined the goal of the Wharton School of Finance and Economy to be “to provide for young men special means of training and of correct instruction in the knowledge and in the arts of modern Finance and Economy, both public and private, in order that, being well informed and free from delusions upon these important subjects, they may either serve the community skillfully as well as faithfully in offices of trust, or, remaining in private life, may prudently manage their own affairs and aid in maintaining sound financial morality: in short, to establish means for imparting a liberal education in all matters concerning Finance and Economy.”
