Here's another blast from the past from someone who took a film during Penn's 1967 homecoming.

This audio challenged piece shows some students tailgating before the big Quakers vs. Harvard game on Franklin Field and then shows the game.

Be sure to check out some of what appears to be Spruce Street, the Penn Band and then wait for the 1967 Quaker at the end!

Hurrah, hurrah!

It's about to be the start of another school year and I recently stumbled upon a blog blast from the past article written by Penn alum Jeffrey Slater (C'76) that you'll be interested in.

In Jeff's nostalgic post, he recounts his time at Penn: from his beginnings, to the friends he made, to the memorable times he had there.  (FYI, Jeff is another example of multiple generations of families who have attended Penn)

I'm covering Jeff's post because I look at the pictures he has posted and no matter what year you graduated, you went to Penn with that guy in the pictures above and to the right.  It's amazing to me to think that every alum since the 1740s have had, and will continue to have their own touching golden moments of Penn preserved for their lifetime.

On that note, after the jump, journey back to the past and check out a picture of Jeffrey's 1972 dorm room ...and what poster was considered popular then to hang on your wall!

To kick off our "Blast from the Past" series, check out the UPenn School of Nursing 1978 graduation montage video above.

The great thing about this video is that you get glimpses of a very familiar campus (Irvine Auditorium, 34th street, Spruce Street) with subtle differences you would expect from a 1978 video.  (Note the passing cars, hairstyles and clothing!)

Overall, same place but different faces from generations past.  I love this stuff!

Check another 1978 video from the School of Nursing after the jump!
