Songs of the University of Pennsylvania
Since the University was founded in 1740, Penn songs have been a central part of campus life. Many of the songs were written by students during their years at Penn. Here are four samples, performed by
University of Pennsylvania Glee Club and the
University of Pennsylvania Band.
Readings from the Writers House
Founded in 1995 by a group of students, faculty, staff and alumni,
the Kelly Writers
House is an actual 13-room house at 3805 Locust Walk on Penn's campus that serves as a center for writers of all kinds and from all disciplines. Each semester the Writers House hosts about 150 public programs and projects—poetry readings, film screenings, seminars, web magazines, lectures, dinners, radio broadcasts, workshops, art exhibits, and musical performances.
