Description

Excerpt from University of Pennsylvania: Official Guide To acquaint the members of the Student Guides' Association, and others, with the physical equipment and resources of the University of Pennsylvania, and to assist the students and friends of the University in escorting visitors through the institution, the editor prepared, in 1904, a pamphlet descriptive of the principal buildings and objects of interest, which was the first edition of this Guide Book. The present edition is illustrated and has been greatly enlarged. It is hoped that the book will prove itself invaluable to all who may have occasion to use it. The editor is indebted to many officers of the University for the assistance given him in the preparation of this edition, and is under obligation to Rev. Oliver Huckel, Mr. J. Hartley Merrick and Mr. Joseph G. Rosengarten for material on portraits owned by the University; and to Prof. Warren P. Laird, the Deans, and other officers who revised the material on their respective departments. The illustrations are from the large collection of negatives made for the University by the editor. No attempt has been made to give an exhaustive historical account of the University, to include any historical illustrations, or to give a detailed description of each of the departments and the buildings connected therewith. The primary object of the Guide is to acquaint the public with the present resources of the University. Those wishing detailed information on the courses and various departments are referred to the general catalogues and departmental publications, and those desirous of looking up the historical development or any phase of University history or college life are referred to the list of publications printed in the appendix to this edition.
