The Penn School of Commerce officially began in 1910. The curriculum emphasized the practical and vocational application of business skills. The School of Commerce was housed in Old Main, the YMCA and 114-116 High Ave West. The High Ave West location was in the Riegel-Jones Buildings and it burnt down on April 18, 1918. After the fire, the School of Commerce moved to Penn Hall. Eventually the School’s curriculum was dropped as more secondary schools began vocational education programs.
