The ideas and intellectual inspiration for the academic institution stem from 1749, with a pamphlet published by Benjamin Franklin.

Penn archivist Mark Frazier Lloyd [http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/2004/011504/feature8.html] notes: “In 1899, Penn’s Trustees adopted a resolution that established 1740 as the founding date, but good cases may be made for 1749, when Franklin first convened the Trustees, or 1751, when the first classes were taught, or 1755, when Penn obtained its collegiate charter."

The '''University of Pennsylvania''' is a [[private university|private]], nonsectarian research university located in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]], [[Pennsylvania]]. ('''Penn''' is the moniker used by the university itself <ref>In addition to ''Penn,'' ''U of P'' and ''Pennsylvania,'' ''UPenn'' has come into fairly common usage due to university officials establishing the ___domain name of the university as "upenn.edu." ''Penn'' has been used by sportswriters for at least a century, e.g. {{cite book | last = Crowther| first = Samuel| authorlink =| coauthors =| year = 1905| title = Rowing and Track Athletics| publisher =The Macmillan company| pages=85 }} [http://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF-8&vid=LCCN05038501&id=Xg2d3cK6L9MC&num=100&pg=PA85&lpg=PA85&dq=penn+princeton+date:1900-1960]. Official emphasis on ''Penn'' began c. 1990 and intensified in 2002 with President Rodin's "One University" initiative.[http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/3d48ac7827f61?in_archive=1]. The University's formal branding and usage guidelines [http://www.upenn.edu/secretary/nameuse.html], [http://www.upenn.edu/webguide/style_guide/identity.html], [http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/creativecommunications/pdf/logostyleguide.pdf] specify ''Penn'' and the "Penn-University of Pennsylvania" logo but do not explicitly deprecate ''UPenn'' or other abbreviations. The recent popularity of ''UPenn'' is probably influenced by campus email addresses which use the ___domain name "upenn.edu," and possibly by parallels with ''[[University of Massachusetts|UMass]]'' and ''[[University of Connecticut|UConn]]'' (which, unlike ''UPenn'', have official status and are trademarked). Daily Pennsylvanian columnist Jeff Shafer traces the origin of the "upenn" ___domain name to pre-Internet days, citing DP head Ira Winston as saying that in the early days of email the University chose upenn.csnet, which "mimicked the University of Delaware's udel.csnet." Thus the choice of "upenn" was made when computer network names had little public visibility, and before the university decided to emphasize ''Penn'' as part of a conscious branding strategy. Shafer says the university studied the feasibility of full conversion to "penn.edu" in 2002 but decided that the costs were too high.[http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/43f433d839822?in_archive=1]. ''UPenn'' is seen in college guides.[http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0312341571?p=S0N5]. The abbreviation "U. Penn" appears in novels[http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0609807919?p=S01N] and in academic journal abbreviations, e.g ''U. Penn L. Rev''[http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0262033143?p=S093], (although the National Library of Medicine uses the abbreviation ''Univ PA'').[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=journals] "U Penn"[http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0671021001?p=S06H][http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009GJNGC] and ''U-Penn''[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0008IYYZQ] are also seen.</ref><ref>"Penn" is also used regionally to refer to [[William Penn University]], a liberal arts college in Iowa: [http://www.wmpenn.edu Multi-faceted construction project on Penn campus], [http://www.wmpenn.edu/about/history/history-3.php Penn people], [http://www.oskaloosaherald.com/siteSearch/apstorysection/local_story_137114134.html Osky’s Snowbarger signs with Penn volleyball team]</ref>). According to the university, it is the fourth oldest<ref>Penn is the fourth oldest using the founding dates claimed by each institution. Penn, [[Princeton University|Princeton]], and [[Columbia University|Columbia]] originated within a few years of each other. In 1899 Penn officially changed its "founding" date from 1749 to 1740, affecting its rank. See [http://www.upenn.edu/gazette/0902/thomas.html Building Penn's Brand] for the reasons why Penn did this. [[Princeton University]] implicitly challenges this[http://www.princeton.edu/main/about/history/], also claiming to be fourth. Penn was chartered in 1755, making it sixth oldest chartered, behind Princeton (1746) and Columbia (1754). A Presbyterian minister operated a "Log College" in Bucks County, Pennsylvania from 1726 until 1746; some have suggested a connection between it and the College of New Jersey (later Princeton) which would justify pushing Princeton's founding date back to 1726, earlier than Penn's 1740. But Princeton never has done so and a Princeton historian says that "the facts do not warrant" such an interpretation.

}}

Nine signers of the [[Declaration of Independence]] and eleven signers of the [[Constitution]] are associated with the University. [[Benjamin Franklin]], Penn's founder, advocated an educational program that focused as much on practical education for commerce and public service as on the classics and theology. Penn was one of the first academic institutions to follow a multidisciplinary model developed by several European universities, concentrating several "faculties" under one institution.

"'''Ain't No Other Man'''" is lead single released by [[United States|American]] singer [[Christina Aguilera]] from her third studio album ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'' ([[2006]]). The single won a [[Grammy Award]] for the [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]] category in 2007.

Penn has also been recognized as a leader in the arts and humanities, the social sciences, architecture, engineering and education.<ref name="ranking">{{cite web| url=http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/tier1/t1natudoc_brief.php| publisher=USNews.com| title=America's Best Colleges 2006: National Universities: Top Schools| accessdate=2006-04-29}}</ref> [[U.S. News & World Report]] ranks Penn as seventh in the nation for 2007, fourth in the Ivy League behind Princeton, Harvard, and Yale [http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php]. Newsweek in 2007 ranked Penn number twelve of all world universities, and fourth in the Ivy League school behind Harvard, Yale, and Columbia [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14321230/site/newsweek/]. According to [[Jiao Tong]] University's Institute of Higher Education, the University of Pennsylvania is ranked fifteenth [http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2006/ARWU2006_Top100.htm] in their 2006 Academic Ranking of World Universities - sixth in the Ivy League behind Harvard (1), Columbia (7), Princeton (8), Yale (9) and Cornell (12). It is particularly noted for its highly-ranked professional programs including Penn's schools of business, law and medicine. A faculty of about 4,500 professors serves nearly 10,000 full time undergraduate and 10,000 graduate and professional students. Penn is incorporated as ''The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania''.

The University of Pennsylvania is an important center of academic and biomedical research. The research community includes 1,000 faculty, 1,000 postdoctoral fellows, 3,000 graduate students, and 5,000 support staff. Penn has one of the largest research programs in the nation, undertaking over $700 million in sponsored research annually (a large part of which is provided by the [[National Institutes of Health]]).

Penn has the largest budget within the [[Ivy League]], with a projected budget in FY2006 of $4.41 billion (including a payroll of $2.183 billion). According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Penn is one of the country's largest fundraisers; the school ranked third among all U.S. universities in 2005, raising approximately $440 million.

Penn is one of fourteen founding members of the [[Association of American Universities]].

==History==

[[Image:College Hall and Ben Franklin Statue.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Benjamin Franklin Statue, in front of College Hall]]In [[1740]], a group of Philadelphians joined together to erect a great preaching hall for the evangelist [[George Whitefield]]. It was the largest building in the city and it was also planned to serve as a charity school. The fundraising, however, fell short and although the building was erected, the plans for both a chapel and the charity school were suspended. In the fall of [[1749]], eager to create a college to educate future generations, [[Benjamin Franklin]] circulated a pamphlet titled "Proposals for the Education of Youth in Pensilvania." However, according to Franklin's autobiography, it was in [[1743]] when he first drew up a proposal for establishing the academy, "thinking the Rev. Richard Peters a fit person to superintend such an institution." Unlike the other three American [[Colonial colleges]] that existed at the time — [[Harvard]], [[College of William and Mary|William and Mary]], and [[Yale University|Yale]] — Franklin's new school would not focus on education for the clergy. He advocated an innovative concept of higher education, one which would teach both the ornamental knowledge of the arts and the practical skills necessary for making a living and doing public service. The proposed program of study became the nation's first modern liberal arts curriculum.

Franklin assembled a board of trustees from among the leading citizens of [[Philadelphia]], the first such non-sectarian board in America. At the first meeting of the 24 members of the Board of Trustees ([[November 13]], [[1749]]) the issue of where to locate the school was a prime concern. Although a lot across Sixth Street from [[Independence Hall]] was offered without cost by James Logan, its owner, the Trustees realized that the building erected in 1740, which was still vacant, would be an even better site. On [[February 1]], [[1750]] the new board took over the building and trusts of the old board. In 1751 the Academy, using the great hall at 4th and Arch Streets, took in its first students. A charity school also was opened in accordance with the intentions of the original "New Building" donors, although it lasted only a few years.

[[Image:Penn campus 2.jpg|400px|left|thumb|Quad in the Fall, facing Ware College House]]For its date of founding, the University uses 1740, the date of "the creation of the earliest of the many educational trusts the University has taken upon itself " <ref>Cheyney, Edward Potts. ''History of the University of Pennsylvania 1740-1940'' University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia. 1940. pp 46-48.</ref> (the charity school mentioned above) during its existence.

The institution was known as the '''College of Philadelphia''' from 1755 to 1779. In 1779, not trusting then-provost William Smith's [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|loyalist]] tendencies, the revolutionary State Legislature created a '''University of the State of Pennsylvania''' as a new institution with a new board of trustees. The result was a schism, with Smith continuing to operate an attenuated version of the College of Philadelphia. In 1791 the legislature issued a new charter, merging the two institutions into the '''University of Pennsylvania''' with twelve men from each institution on the new board of trustees.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.archives.upenn.edu/histy/features/1700s/penn1700s.html| title=Penn in the 18th Century| accessdate=2006-04-29| publisher=University Archives and Records Center, University of Pennsylvania}}</ref>

Penn has two claims to being the [[First university in the United States]], according to university archive director Mark Frazier Lloyd: founding the first medical school in America in 1765, makes it the first university ''de facto,'' while, by virtue of the 1779 charter, "no other American institution of higher learning was named ''University'' before Penn."<ref name="first university"/>

After being located in downtown Philadelphia for more than a century, the campus was moved across the [[Schuylkill River]] to [[West Philadelphia]] in 1872, where it has since remained in an area now known as [[University City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|University City]].

[[Image:Universityofpennsylvaniacollegehall.jpeg|thumb|300px|right|College Hall and Logan Hall viewed from Woodland Ave., ca. 1892.]]Penn's educational innovations include: the nation's first medical school in 1765; the first university teaching hospital in 1874; the [[Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania|Wharton School]], the world's first collegiate school of business, in 1881; the first American student union building, Houston Hall, in 1896; the country's second school of veterinary medicine; and the home of [[ENIAC]], the world's first electronic, large-scale, general-purpose digital computer in 1946. Penn is also home to the oldest Psychology department in North America and where the [[American Medical Association]] was founded.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.psych.upenn.edu/| title=Welcome to the Department of Psychology| publisher= University of Pennsylvania| accessdate=2006-04-29}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.archives.upenn.edu/histy/schools/med.html| publisher=University Archives and Records Center, University of Pennsylvania| title=History of the School of Medicine| accessdate=2006-04-29}}</ref>

Penn is one of the nation's few private universities to be named for the place in which it is located (others include the [[University of Southern California]], [[Boston College]], [[Boston University]], [[Georgetown University]], [[Syracuse University]], [[New York University]], [[Princeton University]], [[University of Dayton]], and the [[University of Chicago]]). Because of this, it is sometimes confused with the [[Pennsylvania State University]] (also known as "Penn State"), a [[state university (U.S.)|public]] research university whose main campus is located in the geographic center of Pennsylvania in [[State College, Pennsylvania|State College]].

===Motto===

Penn's motto is based on a line from [[Horace]]’s Third Ode, ''quid leges sine moribus vanae proficiunt?'' ("of what avail empty laws without [good] mores?") From 1756 to 1898, the motto read ''Sine Moribus Vanae''. When a wag pointed out that the motto could be translated as "Loose women without morals," the university quickly changed the motto to ''literae sine moribus vanae'' ("Letters without morals are useless"). In 1932, all elements of the seal were revised, and as part of the redesign it was decided that the new motto "mutilated" Horace, and it was changed to its present wording, ''Leges Sine Moribus Vanae'' ("Laws without morals [are] useless"). <ref>{{cite journal| last=Hughes| first=Samuel| year=2002| url=http://www.upenn.edu/gazette/0102/0102finals.html| title=Whiskey, Loose Women, and Fig Leaves: The University's seal has a curious history| journal=Pennsylvania Gazette| volume=100| issue=3}}</ref>.

==Academics==

===Undergraduate programs===

The University of Pennsylvania has four undergraduate schools:[[Image:PENN 043.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Quad in the Winter, from Riepe House]]

* The School of Arts & Sciences ("SAS" or "The College")

* [[The School of Engineering and Applied Science]] ("SEAS")

* The School of Nursing

* [[Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania|The Wharton School]]

Penn has a strong focus on interdisciplinary learning and research. It emphasizes [[University of Pennsylvania#Joint-degree and interdisciplinary programs|joint degree programs]], unique majors and academic flexibility. Penn's One University policy allows undergraduates access to courses at all of Penn's undergraduate and graduate schools.

Undergraduate students at Penn may also take courses at area colleges participating in the Quaker consortium, including [[Swarthmore College|Swarthmore]], [[Haverford College|Haverford]], and [[Bryn Mawr College|Bryn Mawr]].

===Graduate and professional programs===

[[Image:PennDentalSchool.jpg|thumb|350px|left|University of Pennsylvania Dental School, 40th and Spruce.]]The following schools offer graduate programs:

* [[Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania|Annenberg School for Communication]]

===Rankings===

[[Image:wynncommon.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Overlooking Wynn Common, College Hall(left), Houston Hall (right), and Irvine Auditorium (center, background)]]

[[As of 2007]], Penn is ranked 7th[http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php] in [[U.S. News & World Report]]'s list of top undergraduate schools nationally.<ref name="ranking"/> The undergraduate business program at Penn's [[Wharton School ]] was ranked Number 1. As of 2007, Penn was ranked #5, as there was a three-way tie for #4.

In 2005, [[The Washington Monthly]] published a unique ranking that focused on universities' contributions to national service (Research: total research spending, Ph.D.s granted in science and engineering, Community Service: the number of students in ROTC, Peace Corps, etc.; and Social Mobility: percentage of, and support for, Pell grant recipients); Penn ranked ninth overall, and fourth among private institutions.<ref>[http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2005/0509.collegeguide.html?tr=y&auid=1058971]</ref>

At the undergraduate level, Penn's business and nursing schools have maintained their #1, 2 or 3 rankings since [[U.S. News]] began reviewing such programs. The departments of African American literature, anthropology, art history, bioengineering, biology, communications, computer science, English, economics, French, history, political science, psychology, and Spanish are also extremely well regarded.

Penn's graduate schools are among the most distinguished schools in their respective fields. The schools of business ([[Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania|Wharton School]]), architecture (School of Design), communications ([[Annenberg School for Communication]]), medicine ([[University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine|School of Medicine]]), nursing and veterinary medicine rank in the top five nationally (see U.S. News, DesignIntelligence magazines). Penn's law ([[University of Pennsylvania Law School|Law School]]), social policy and education schools are ranked in the top ten (U.S. News).

==Campus==

[[Image:Foliage at Penn 2005 035.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Overlooking Lower Quad from Upper Quad]]

Much of Penn's architecture was designed by [[Cope & Stewardson]]. The two architects combined the [[Gothic architecture]] of the [[University of Oxford]] and the [[University of Cambridge]] - retaining some of their classical elements - with the local landscape to establish the [[Gothic Revival architecture|Collegiate Gothic]] style. The present core campus covers over 269 acres (~1 km²) in a contiguous area of western Philadelphia's [[University City]] district. All of Penn's schools and most of its research institutes are located on this campus. Recent improvements to the surrounding neighborhood includes the opening of several restaurants, a large upscale grocery store, and an art-house movie theater on the western edge of campus.

Penn recently acquired approximately 35 acres of land located between the campus and the Schuylkill River (the former site of the [[Philadelphia Civic Center]] and a nearby 24-acre site owned by the [[USPS|US Postal Service]]), which will be redeveloped for expanded educational, research, biomedical, and mixed-use facilities over the next ten years.[[Image:UQG.jpg|thumb|350px|left|Upper Quad Gate.]]

The postal site extends from Market Street on the north to Penn’s Bower Field on the south. It encompasses the main U.S. Postal Building at 30th and Market Streets (the retail post office at the east end of the bulding will remain open), the Postal Annex between Chestnut Street and Walnut Street, the Vehicle Maintenance Facility Garage along Chestnut Street and the 14 acres of surface parking south of Walnut Street. Aquisition of the Postal Lands, which will become official in 2007, will allow Penn to create new connections between the campus and the city, including a pedestrian bridge, and provide additional space for research, teaching, housing and retail.

In addition to its properties in [[West Philadelphia]], the University owns the 92 acre [[Morris Arboretum]] in [[Chestnut Hill]] in northwestern [[Philadelphia]], the official arboretum of the state of [[Pennsylvania]]. Penn also owns the 687 acre New Bolton Center, the research and large-animal health care center of its Veterinary School. New Bolton Center received nationwide media attention when [[Kentucky Derby]] winner [[Barbaro]] underwent surgery at its Widener Hospital for multiple fractures to his right hind leg, suffered while running in the [[Preakness Stakes]] on May 20, [[2006]]. It is located near [[Kennett Square, Pennsylvania]].

Penn borders [[Drexel University]] and is near the [[University of the Sciences in Philadelphia]] (USP). Also nearby is the [[University City High School]].

===Academic Medical Center and Biomedical Research Complex===

Penn's health-related programs - including the Schools of Medicine, Dental Medicine, Nursing and Veterinary Medicine, and programs in bioengineering (School of Engineering) and health management (the Wharton School) - are among the university's strongest academic components. The combination of intellectual breadth, research funding (each of the health sciences schools ranks in the top 5 in annual NIH funding), clinical resources and overall scale ranks Penn with only a small handful of peer universities in the U.S.

The size of Penn's biomedical research organization, however, adds a very capital intensive component to the university's operations, and introduces revenue instability due to changing government regulations, reduced Federal funding for research, and [[Medicaid]]/[[Medicare (United States)|Medicare]] program changes. This is a primary reason highlighted in bond rating agencies' views on Penn's overall financial rating, which ranks one notch below its academic peers. Penn has worked to address these issues by pooling its schools (as well as several hospitals and clinical practices) into the University of Pennsylvania Health System, thereby pooling resources for greater efficiencies and research impact.

===Admissions selectivity===

Penn is among the most selective universities in the United States. The university received 20,479 applications for the Class of 2010 entering in the fall of 2006; Penn admitted 17.7 percent of those applicants, representing its most selective admissions year in history. For comparison, in recent years, Penn has received 18,000 - 20,000 applications for each freshman class, has admitted 20-25% of applications and yielded 60-65% of its extended offers. This is one of the highest yield rates amongst all Ivy League schools.

In 2002, [[The Atlantic Monthly]] ranked it as the eighth most selective college in the United States (factoring in average grades, SAT scores, students' high school rankings, and offer yields).{{citation needed}}

At the graduate level, Penn's admissions rates - like most universities - vary considerably based on school and program. Based on admission statistics from US News, Penn's most selective programs include its law school, the health care schools (medicine, dental medicine, nursing) and its business school.

===Joint-degree and interdisciplinary programs===

Penn offers specialized joint-degree programs, which award candidates degrees from multiple schools at the University upon completion of graduation criteria of both schools:

* [[The Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business]]

* [[The Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology]]

* [[Nursing and Health Care Management]]

* [http://www.upenn.edu/lsm/ The Roy Vagelos Program in Life Sciences and Management]

Dual Degree programs are also available, although they sometimes lack the flexibility of the Joint-Degree Programs. Specialized Dual Degree programs include [[Liberal Studies and Technology]] as well as a Computer and Cognitive Science Program. Both programs award a degree from the College of Arts and Science and a degree from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

In addition to cross-disciplinary majors and joint-degree programs, Penn is home to interdisciplinary institutions such as the Institute for Medicine and Engineering, the Joseph H. Lauder Institute for Management and International Studies, the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science, the Executive Master's in Technology Management Program, the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business, the Roy Vagelos Program in Life Sciences and Management, and the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology. The Vagelos Program in Molecular Life Sciences, although not interdicipinary due to its focus on biochemistry and scientific research is also worthy of mention.

===Libraries===

[[Image:IMG 0019.jpg|thumb|260px|right|Fisher Fine Arts Library at night.]]

Penn's library began in [[1750]] with a donation of books from cartographer [[Louis Evans]]. Twelve years later, then-provost [[William Smith]] sailed to England to raise additional funds to increase the collection size. More than 250 years later, it has grown into a system of 15 libraries (13 are on the contiguous campus) with 400 FTE employees and a total operating budget of more than $48 million. The library system holds 5.7 million book and serial volumes. It subscribes to 44,000 print serials and e-journals.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://metrics.library.upenn.edu/prototype/datafarm/| title=Penn Library Data Farm| accessdate=2006-04-29}}</ref>

==Community and environment==

[[Image:Skyline of Phildelphia.jpg|thumb|350px|right|A typical view of the [[Philadelphia]] Skyline seen from one of the three high rise dormitories.]] About 39.2 percent of those accepted for admission to the Class of 2009 are Asian, Hispanic, African, or Native American. Women comprise 51.3 percent of all students currently enrolled. A total of 2,440 international students applied for admission to Penn's undergraduate schools for the Class of 2008, and 489 (20%) were accepted. More than 13% of the first year class are international students. Of the international students accepted to the Class of 2008, 15.8% were from Africa and the Middle East, 48.1% from Asia, 0.4% from Australia and the Pacific, 11.7% from Canada and Mexico, 10% from Central/South America and the Caribbean, and 14.1% from Europe. Penn had 4,192 international students enrolled at all levels in Fall 2004.

Performing arts groups include [[The University of Pennsylvania Band]], one of the oldest [[scramble band]]s in the country; there are also numerous student-run theatre groups, including unique groups like the long-running Pennsylvania Players, the ever-intriguing [[iNtuitons Experimental Theatre]], and the socially-relevant Front Row Theatre Company. Singing groups include the [[a cappella]] jazz ([[Counterparts (band)|Counterparts]], the all-male [[Chord on Blues]]); the traditional [[PennSix (band)|PennSix]]; [[Pennchants]]; [[Off the Beat]]; [[Penn Masala]]&mdash;a Hindi group which has received global acclaim; and [[The University of Pennsylvania Glee Club]] and its small group, the [[Penn Pipers]], founded in 1862, one of the oldest continually-performing collegiate performance group in the United States. [[Penn Singers]] is one of the premier collegiate [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] societies in the world, and remains under the direction of [[Bruce Montgomery (entertainer)|Bruce Montgomery]], a leading figure in the Philadelphia performing community. The [[Philomathean Society]], Penn's student literary society, was founded in 1813 and is the oldest continuously-existing collegiate literary society in the [[United States]]. [[Mask and Wig]], founded in 1889, is the oldest all-male collegiate musical comedy troupe in the nation.[[Image:Winter Penn 010.jpg|thumb|350px|left|Locust Walk lit up during the winter season]]

The ''[[Daily Pennsylvanian]]'' has been published since 1885, and is among the top college papers in the country, regularly winning [[National Pacemaker Awards|Pacemaker]] and [[Columbia Scholastic Press Association|CSPA]] [[Gold Circle]] awards. The [[Pennsylvania Punch Bowl]] is one of the nation's oldest humor magazines. The University's Political Science Department is known for publishing a semesterly scholarly journal of undergraduate research called "Sound Politicks." The journal is student-run and is widely noted for the originality and quality of the articles it publishes. It accepts submissions from Penn students year round. There are many such journals across the university.

Penn is also noted for its [[University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology|Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology]]. A direct beneficiary of the many expeditions led by the University's famed anthropology department, the Museum's collection includes a very large number of antiqities from ancient Egypt and the Middle East. The Museum also has a strong collection of Chinese artifacts including one of the largest crystal spheres ever designed, (originally owned by an Empress of China).

The Institute of Contemporary Art is based on Penn's campus and showcases various exhibitions of art throughout the year.

==Athletics==

[[Image:Quakers.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Athletic Logo]]

The first athletic team at Penn was a cricket team. <ref>Kieran, John (1932), "Sports of the Times," The [[New York Times]], Oct. 8, 1932, p. 22.</ref> In the sport of football, "Penn first fielded a team against Princeton at the [[Germantown]] Cricket Club in [[Philadelphia]] on November 11, [[1876]]." <ref>[[Rottenberg, Dan]] (1985) "Fight On, Pennsylvania" Trustees of [[University of Pennsylvania]] pg. 25.</ref>

Penn's sports teams are called the Quakers. They participate in the [[Ivy League]] and [[Division I]] (Division I-AA for football) in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]. In recent decades they often have been league champions in football (12 times from [[1982]] to [[2003]]) and basketball (22 times from [[1970]] to [[2006]]). Penn football made many contributions to the sport in its early days. During the 1890s Penn's famed coach George Woodruff introduced the quarternick kick, a forerunner of the forward pass, as well as the place-kick from scrimmage and the delayed pass. In 1894, 1895, 1897 and 1904 Penn was generally regarded the national champion of collegiate football.<ref>[[Rottenberg, Dan]] (1985) "Fight On, Pennsylvania" Trustees of [[University of Pennsylvania]] pg. 28, 33-34.</ref> The achievements of two of Penn's outstanding players from that era -- [[John Heisman]] and [[John Outland]] -- are remembered each year with the presentation of the [[Heisman Trophy]] to the outstanding college football player of the year and the [[Outland Trophy]] to the outstanding college football interior linebacker of the year.[[Image:FranklinFieldPenn.jpg|thumb|450px|right|Franklin Field]]

In basketball, [[Penn]] made its (and the [[Ivy League]]'s) only [[Final Four]] appearance in 1979, where the Quakers lost to the [[Magic Johnson]]-led Michigan State Spartans in Salt Lake City. [[Penn]] is also is one of the teams in the [[Philadelphia Big 5|Big Five]], along with [[La Salle]], [[Saint Joseph's]], [[Temple]] and [[Villanova]].

Penn's home court, the [[Palestra]], is an arena used for [[Big Five]] contests as well as high-school sporting events. The [[Palestra]] has hosted more NCAA Tournament basketball games than any other facility. [[Franklin Field]], where the Quakers play football, hosts the annual collegiate [[track and field]] event "the [[Penn Relays]]," and once was the home field of the [[National Football League|National Football League's]] [[Philadelphia Eagles]]. It was also the site of the early [[Army-Navy Game|Army-Navy]] football games. [[Franklin Field]], the oldest stadium still operating for football games, was also the home to the first commercially-televised football game, and was also the first stadium to sport two tiers. In 2004, Penn Men's Rugby won the [[EPRU]] championship. In 2006, the Quakers lost in the first round of the Men's Basketball NCAA Tournament to the Texas Longhorns.

==Traditions==

===Toast throwing===

[[Image:Homecoming 2005.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Homecoming "Toast" 2005]]

As a sign of school pride, crowds of Quaker fans perform a unique ritual. After the third quarter of football games, spirited onlookers unite in the singing of "Drink a Highball." In years long past, students would literally make a toast to the success of Penn's athletic teams. During Prohibition, stubborn students insisted on keeping their tradition - since they could not use alcohol, they had no choice but to literally "toast" Penn. As the last line, "Here's a toast to dear old [[Penn]]," is sung, the fans send toast hurling through the air onto the sidelines. In another version of the origins of toast throwing, in 1977, current band leader and then drum major, Greer Cheeseman threw the first slice of toast after being inspired while attending a showing of [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]] where members of the audience throw toast at the screen. In more recent years, some students have become more creative in their choice of projectiles, and it is not rare to see a hail of bagels or donuts, or even a loaf of French bread come flying down from the stands.<ref>[http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/2005/092205/record.html For The Record: Toast-Throwing Tradition]</ref>

The athletics department has purchased several industrial street sweepers built by Tenant Inc. The latest is a 6400 Rider Sweeper used for cleaning the concourses and track area of the stadium.{{citation needed}} The sweeper is often called the "toast [[Zamboni]]".<ref>[http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/2003/111303/atwork.html ]</ref>

===Econ Scream===

At midnight on the eve of the first Microeconomics 001 midterm exam, hundreds of students (predominantly freshmen) try to de-stress by participating in a shout on the Junior Balcony of the Lower Quadrangle.<ref>[http://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/class2009/wharton_lingo.cfm Wharton lingo]; [http://dolphin.upenn.edu/~transfer/trad.html Wharton traditions]</ref> Each year there are a number of students that streak throughout the quad.

===Goal post tossing===

In past years, the Penn Quakers have won the Ivy League championship, sending the jubilant fans into a frenzy. In celebration, the fans ripped down the goal posts and tossed them into the Schuylkill River.<ref>[http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/1998/120398/POV.html]</ref> This tradition has most likely ended, as the last attempt to tear down the goalposts failed in 2003 as a result of a concrete footing that made efforts to topple them futile.

==Song information==

===Class Day and Hey Day===

Produced by [[DJ Premier]] and Charles Roane, the song contains [[sampling (music)|samples]] from The Moon People's ''Hippy, Skippy, Moon Strut'' (1969) and ''The Cissy's Thang'' (1969) by The Soul Seven. It was released as the first [[single (music)|single]] from ''Back to Basics'' in June 2006 (see [[2006 in music]]); originally meant to be available for purchase on [[June 13]], it was released early to [[iTunes Music Store]] on [[June 3]]. It debuted on UK radio on [[June 7]], and also on Brazilian radio stations on the same day. It is thought to be Aguilera's comeback single, due to its strong chart performance after Aguilera's four-year hiatus from her previous studio album ''[[Stripped (Christina Aguilera album)|Stripped]]'' (2002). This song, contrary to popular belief, does not have a live brass section. The brass interludes are samples from a 1970's Latin funk track called "Happy Soul", performed by Dave Cortez and the Moon People. Obviously the drum track has been largely edited, and made to sound a lot bassier, but the main structure of the repeated brass riff is still intact.

[[Image:Hey Day 2006.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A scene from the finale of Hey Day for Class of 2006]][[Image:HeyDayPenn.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The Class of 2007's Hey Day on Locust Walk]]

In April, several class traditions are celebrated. Class Day, which began in 1865 to supplement the final graduation exercises, celebrates the progression of all classes and the departure of the seniors. In 1916, this day merged with Straw Hat Day and became the "day of two events." In 1931, Hey Day arose from these two celebrations. On this day, the juniors gather on Hill Field for a picnic, don straw "skimmers" and canes, and march triumphantly through campus.

DJ Premier said about the track: "It's pretty much about how Aguilera's husband has stolen her from the beginning", and it began receiving airplay on American radio stations within the same day. [[SonyBMG|Sony-BMG]] issued a statement regarding the release of the song, claiming that a full investigation would be launched in order to find out how the song was leaked, as they did not intend for the song to be released until after it premiered at the [[MTV Movie Awards 2006|2006 MTV Movie Awards]] on [[June 3]]. Because of the leak, [[RCA]] Records officially released the single to all U.S. radio stations the day after it leaked.

The procession tradition began in 1949. More recently, the straw skimmers have changed to styrofoam hats, and classmates take bites out of one another's hats until they fall apart. Within the last five years, it has become a tradition for the current senior class to "haze" the juniors while they march, pelting with a variety of food and condiments, including maple syrup, eggs, and flour. When the procession reaches College Hall, the students make an arch with their canes to greet the President of the University. The outgoing and incoming senior class presidents then give speeches, and the juniors are "officially" declared seniors. Due to injuries sustained during this tradition and the cost of cleaning the walk afterwards, the university has aimed to downplay the hazing for Hey Day but has been haplessly unsuccessful and has recently discussed cancelling the tradition outright.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.archives.upenn.edu/histy/features/traditions/heyday/entry.html|publisher=University Archives and Records Center, University of Pennsylvania| title=Hey Day - A Penn Student Tradition| accessdate=2006-06-28}}</ref>

[[Big Boi]] from [[OutKast]] was scheduled to contribute a rap verse on the remix of the single. It is rumored that his record label pressured him to remove himself from the song to prevent the "Ain't No Other Man" remix from competing with [[Outkast]]'s own single, "The Mighty O." RCA subsequently replaced [[Big Boi]] with [[Houston, Texas|Houston]] rapper, [[Chamillionaire]]. Nonetheless, Chamillionaire's additional rap verse on the song proved not to be popular amongst fans and hardly received any radio airplay.

===Ivy Day===

One plants ivy by a building, and an "Ivy Stone" is placed on the building to commemorate the occasion. In 1981, the day was officially moved to the Saturday before Commencement. Also on this day, the prestigious Spoon, Bowl, Cane, and Spade awards are given, honoring four senior men; and the Hottel, Harnwell, Goddard, and Brownlee awards are presented to honor four senior women. During the celebration, a noted individual who is chosen by the class gives an address. Recent Ivy Day addresses have been presented by Penn Parent [[Joan Rivers]], former Philadelphia Mayor and current Governor of Pennsylvania [[Ed Rendell]], and basketball player [[Julius Erving]].

[[Image:commencement250.jpg|thumb|300px|left|UPenn's 250th Commencement.]]

The building receiving the Ivy Stone is very often a building of some significance to the graduating class. For example, in 1983, a stone was placed near the field in [[Franklin Field]] celebrating Penn's first Ivy League championship in football the previous fall--at the yard line from which the game-winning field goal against Harvard was kicked, clinching at least a share of the championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/pennhistory/ivystones/ivystones.ica.html| publisher=The Institute of Contemporary Art | title=ICA Ivy Stone Brochure| accessdate=2006-06-28}}</ref>

The single was released over two weeks in the UK. CD1, featuring the Radio Edit and Instrumental is released on 24th July 2006. CD2, featuring the Album & A cappella versions, and two remixes of the track was released on [[July 31]] [[2006]]. The two weeks release of the single in the UK prevented it from going to #1 in the UK singles chart and peaked at #2 being blocked off by Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie". Had "Ain't No Other Man" had just one release it would have reached the top spot of the UK singles chart because it sales for that 1 week would have been enough to block of "Hips Don't Lie" off the top spot.

==="The Red and Blue"===

Penn students have a school anthem (not to be confused with alma mater), [http://dolphin.upenn.edu/~pennband/pennsongs.html "The Red and Blue (lyrics)."] The official alma mater of the university is "Hail Pennsylvania" (also in the link).

"Ain't No Other Man" garnered Aguilera another nomination and win at the [[49th Annual Grammy Awards]] in the category [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]]. This is her fourth time being nominated in this category, and second win.

===The Compass===

Penn students avoid stepping over the tiled compass on the scenic Locust Walk. Supposedly, the compass serves to guide freshmen through their first year; stepping on it will put a student in danger of failing midterms or finals.[http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/3f8e3841c30eb?in_archive=1]

===[[TheMusic Button]]=video==

[[Image:Ain'tNoOtherManScreen.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Aguilera in the music video for "Ain't No Other Man" (2006).]]

It is an oft-proclaimed goal of Penn undergraduates to have sex underneath the [[Claes Oldenberg]] sculpture of a large split-button in front of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library sometime before they graduate. [http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/3dbfa224e12fc?in_archive=1]

The [[music video]], directed by [[Bryan Barber]], was shot from [[May 1]] to [[May 3]] in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. In an interview with [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1539161/08222006/aguilera_christina.jhtml MTV], Aguilera stated, "it intrigued me that this man, Bryan Barber, had been very locked into and had surrounded himself with this whole world of the '20s and '30s era," in response to Barber's film project, [[Idlewild (film)|Idlewild]]. It was released exclusively to iTunes on [[June 20]] and went to number-one the following day on the iTunes video chart. It then premiered on [[MTV]]'s ''[[Making the Video]]'' on [[June 21]].

The music video is supposed to be set back in the 1920s to 1930s Era, where Christina Aguilera plays the role of her [[alter ego]], Baby Jane (a [[Peggy Lee]]/[[Judy Garland]]-ish nightclub singer). The name is shown on the car's plate and on her dressing room door. The video takes place mostly at a club, with Christina getting ready in the backstage area, and then coming up the stage performing along with the song. In between scenes, there were short vignettes that showed Aguilera in gold and silver dresses, singing to a mic, while photographers are taking pictures. She appeared in several looks; in one of the scenes, Christina appeared using rhinestone studded headphones, showed a bit of a modern day portrayal.

===Spring Fling===

Spring Fling is an annual festival for the students at the end of each Spring semester, usually beinning on the Thursday of the second to last week of the semester and continuing until Sunday. The event takes place on Hill Field, College Green, Wynn Commons and The Quad. The Quad becomes a staging area for carnival games and carnival food. Two stages in the Quad host Penn's performing arts groups. Friday night, Penn holds a festival on College Green, and Saturday night SPEC (The Social Planning and Events Committee) brings in a headlining musical act for a concert. Recent guests for this concert have included [[Wyclef Jean]], [[Busta Rhymes]], [[Sonic Youth]], and [[Of a Revolution]]. [http://specevents.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=49&Itemid=74]

In the beginning and in the end of the music video there are clips from another song from ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'', entitled "I Got Trouble."

==Notable people==

The song played as if it were on the radio with minor white noise.

{{see also|List of University of Pennsylvania people}}

The music video has been well received by audiences. On MTV's ''[[Total Request Live]]'', it has achieved the number one video spot on the countdown twenty two times, and was retired at number one, making it Christina's most successful video and the most successful video of 2006 of TRL. "Ain't No Other Man" is third only to [[Behind These Hazel Eyes]] by [[Kelly Clarkson]] and [[Me Against the Music]] by [[Britney Spears]] as the most successful female video on TRL of all time. It has also been in the top 5 videos on [[VH1]]'s Top 20 Countdown and number one in [[TMF]]'s top ten countdown in [[Europe]]. It was nominated at the [[2006 MTV Video Music Awards]] for [[MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year|Video of the Year]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video|Best Female Video]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video|Best Pop Video]], and [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography|Best Choreography]]

Some noted University of Pennsylvania alumni include the ninth President of the United States, [[William Henry Harrison]],<ref>William Henry Harrison, Ohio HIstory Central Online Encyclopedia[http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=190]: "At his father’s insistence, [he] studied medicine from 1790 to 1791 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Upon his father’s death in 1791, Harrison immediately joined the United States Army."</ref> real estate mogul [[Donald Trump]], [[Cisco Systems]] co-founder [[Len Bosack]], linguist and activist [[Noam Chomsky]], American industralist [[Jon Huntsman]], philanthropist [[Walter Annenberg]], [[E. Digby Baltzell]] who is credited with the serendipitous invention of the acronym [[WASP]], CEO and investor [[Warren Buffett]], [[U.S. Supreme Court]] Justice [[William J. Brennan]] and numerous other past and present U.S. Ambassadors, members of congress, governors, cabinet members, and corporate leaders.

==Chart performance==

==Controversy==

On [[June 15]], [[2006]], "Ain't No Other Man" debuted at number nineteen on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] as a result of strong [[digital download|download]]s. The song became Aguilera's highest debut on the Hot 100, a title that was previously held by "[[I Turn to You (Christina Aguilera song)|I Turn to You]]" (2000).<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]''. Bronson, Fred. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/chart_beat/bonus.jsp "Aguilera bounds into the Hot 100 with her highest debut yet"]. [[June 15]] [[2006]]. Retrieved [[June 21]] [[2006]].</ref> The song soared into the top ten before quickly peaking at number six. However, the song has proven to have longevity as it has spent nineteen consecutive weeks within the top forty. It has sold over 1,000,000 digital downloads in the United States making it [[Music recording sales certification|Platinum]]. "Ain't No Other Man" has been proven very successful, as it is Aguilera's first top ten hit on the Hot 100 since "Beautiful" back in late [[2002 in music|2002]]. The song has proven to be a big dance hit as well, where it reached number one on Billboard's [[Hot Dance Airplay]] and [[Hot Dance Club Play]] chart.

The university has come under fire several times for free speech issues. In spite of this, Penn is one of only two Ivy League universities (the other being [[Dartmouth College]]) to receive the highest possible free speech rating from the watchdog group [[Foundation for Individual Rights in Education]], incidentally founded by noted Penn Professor and civil libertarian [[Alan Charles Kors]].

In the [[United Kingdom|UK]] "Ain't No Other Man" reached number two due in part to RCAs ridiculous release of spreading out the single to be released in 2 different weeks. This cost the song the #1 spot of the UK singles chart where it was blocked off by hips don't lie. The song debuted on the Canadian [[Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems|BDS]] Airplay Chart the same week it did in the U.S. (at number thirty-eight) and peaked at number three on [[August 19]] [[2006]]. It also reached number three on the Canadian Dance Chart. However, despite commercial success on these formats, it did not chart highly on the [[Canadian Singles Chart]] (number fourteen) perhaps because of the release of ''Back to Basics'' (that same week). "Ain't No Other Man" became Aguilera's most commercially successful single in Canada (10.000 units sold; Platinum) since "[[Fighter (song)|Fighter]]" (2003).

===Water buffalo incident===

The 1993 [[Water buffalo incident]] concerned a Penn student who was charged with violating Penn's racial harassment policy for shouting "Shut up, you water buffalo" from his dorm window to a crowd of noisy, mostly-black sorority sisters. Dispute raged over whether or not "water buffalo" was a racial epithet. After national media attention, including a [[Doonesbury]] cartoon, the women agreed to drop charges.

"Ain't No Other Man" became Aguilera's tenth top ten hit on [[Top 40 Mainstream|Top 40 Radio]], where it peaked at number seven. The song's performance on pop radio is similar to those of many of her past hits like "Fighter", "[[Can't Hold Us Down]]", and "[[Come on over Baby (All I Want Is You)|Come on Over Baby]]". It was also her first top ten hit on Top 40 Radio in over three years, with the last one being "Can't Hold Us Down" in [[2003 in music|mid-2003]].

===Ivy League Grind===

In the fall semester of 2005, two students were photographed having sex against the large floor-to-ceiling windows of Hamilton College House (High Rise North), now officially known as Rodin College House, after former President [[Judith Rodin]], although at the time it was known as Hamilton College House. The pictures were posted on the web, the story was picked up by the media, and students had to deal with helicopters circling the building at odd hours {{fact}}. The identity of the girl was also made public {{fact}}, and a picture published in the [[Daily Pennsylvanian]] {{fact}}. The event sparked heated debate over [[First Amendment]] rights and how the private university would respond in light of its own declared commitment to the rights of its students and faculty.[http://www.dailypennsylvanian.com/vnews/display.v/ART/438eafe15413c?in_archive=1]

The song has gone on to have unusual longevity on the radio charts. However, "Ain't No Other Man" has only peaked at number six. This song is now considered a successful comeback single due to its slow paced decline. On the Billboard 2006 Hot 100 Year-End chart, "Ain't No Other Man" was ranked thirty-second.<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]''. Bronson, Fred. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/yearend/2006/charts/hot100_2.jsp "2006 Hot 100 Year-End Chart"]. [[December 21]] [[2006]]. Retrieved [[December 26]] [[2006]].</ref>
