Life at Penn in the early 1900s...Videos from the Archives

The University of Pennsylvania Archives posts a number of historical videos on YouTube.  One particularly interesting video of just under six minutes, "Interiors & Exteriors of Professional School Buildings (1916)," includes scenes from the Dental School, Medical School, Veterinary School, the Wharton School, the Clinic Chapel exercises, and the dormitories.  These were filmed under the direction of W.M. Cramer (W'17) and H.C. Churchill (W'17) to be used by Horace Lippincott (C1897), secretary of the General Alumni Society, in his talks at meetings of Pennsylvania Alumni societies around the country.

You can also find "Penn's 250th Anniversary (1990)" commemorating the milestone anniversary.
