Biographical History

The Ludwick Institute, organized in 1799 as the Philadelphia Society for the Free Instruction of Indigent Boys, chartered in 1801 as the Philadelphia Society for the Establishment and Support of Charity Schools, was the first free educational plan in Philadelphia. Girls were admitted in 1811. In 1872 its name was changed to Ludwick Institute after its chief benefactor Christopher Ludwick. With the establishment of the tax-supported Public School system, the Ludwick Institute stopped holding classes around 1890, but continued to sponsor a course of free lectures at the Academy of Natural Sciences.
