Lippincott, Secretary of Alumni, Writes History of University

By J. N. W. .

In "The University of Pennsylvania--Franklin's College," by Horace Mather Lippincott, Penn. '97, has been compiled for the first time, and n a very interesting way, a summary of the different periods of development of Pennsylvania from its founding in 1740 as "The Charity School of Philadelphia" to its present state of high rank among the foremost American universities. With chapters on undergraduate customs; university characters; athletics; the university seal, colors, cheer and songs; this book should appeal strongly to all Penn, alumni; and its historic value and significance in the early affairs of our nation lend it a general interest.

Mr. Lippincott, who is Penn. Alumni Secretary, has had unusual opportunities, as well as natural inclination to accumulate the principal facts and traditions from the point of view of a Pennsylvania man long connected with his Alma Mater.
