This Was Pennsylvania

With 9 weeks left until we change our professional headlines on Linkedin back to "Student," we stumbled across this video which actually kinda made us miss campus. The vintage footage of old school Penn comes from 1957, a time when upperclassmen lived in the Upper Quad, Hey Day was called the Junior Cane Walk, and freshmen participated in a wacky tradition called "Dink Day."

Among the best lines in the 30 minute promo flick, which was meant to entice prospective students, was a plea to attend the Wharton School of Finance (pron: fin-ants) and Commerce at 9:25: "When you are a tycoon and come to figure out your income tax, you will be grateful that you paid attention to this professor in accounting." We're sold!
