Immediately upon his arrival at Penn State in 1859, Pugh established a research laboratory. Having completed his chemistry doctorate in Germany, at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_G%C3%B6ttingen" title="University of Göttingen">University of Göttingen</a>, he was heavily influenced by the German academic model and was constantly engaged in scientific experimentation, investigation and publication. As a consequence, first graduate students to earn degrees from Penn State did so under Pugh's guidance in 1863: <a href="/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Smith_(chemist)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Alfred Smith (chemist) (page does not exist)">Alfred Smith</a> (later a professor of chemistry at Penn State) and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Augustus_King&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Augustus King (page does not exist)">Augustus King</a> (the son of the president of <a href="/wiki/Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a>) were awarded the Master of Scientific Agriculture degree. Between 1863 and the establishment of the Graduate School in 1922, almost 900 graduate students engaged in academic study at Penn State. At this time, graduate study was modeled after Pugh's academic experience in Göttingen – it was an independent pursuit, shaped by the individual student's and advisor's interests. No formal graduate classes were offered until the establishment of college-wide standards in the 1890s. At this point, a thesis became a universal requirement for all advanced degrees. In 1922, President <a href="/wiki/John_Martin_Thomas" title="John Martin Thomas">John Thomas</a> established the Graduate School under the direction of Dean <a href="/w/index.php?title=Frank_D._Kern&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Frank D.
