 power to confer degrees granted by an additional charter in 1755, 

 which changed the title to "The Trustees of the College, Academy and 

 Charitable School of Philadelphia in the Province of Pennsylvania." In 

 1779 the rights and properties of this corporation were confiscated by 

 the State legislature and conferred upon a new one, "The Trustees of 

 the University of the State of Pennsylvania." In 1789 this confisca- 

 tion was revoked as illegal, and in 1791 the two corporations were 

 united by an Act of Assembly under the present title "The Trustees 

 of the University of Pennsylvania."
