"The University of Pennsylvania, established in 1779, is one of the first secular private schools in the nation. Since it was founded, it has occupied three different campuses. The third campus, begun in the post-Civil War era, is the subject of this guide. The most memorable buildings are featured - from Frank Furness's fiery red Fisher Fine Arts Library to the serene quiet of Wilson Eyre's University Museum, Horace Trumbauer's towering Irvine Auditorium, and the extroverted modernism of Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates' brilliant renovation of Perelman Quadrangle and its buildings." "Author and photographer George E. Thomas, with contributing photographer Lewis Tanner, capture Penn's campus and buildings. The guide tells much about the academic aspirations and educational philosophy that shaped the university's buildings while leading an insider's tour that will provide students and alumni with newfound insights about their alma mater."--BOOK JACKET.
