Penn Commons Shield

Penn Commons Shield - View to the popular student hang out place outside the area of Houston Hall with the Penn Commons coat of arms shield. At the historic U-Penn University of Pennsylvania in West Philadelphia, PA.

The shield of the University of Pennsylvania features three major symbolic elements: the open books, to signify learning; the dolphin, taken from the center of Benjamin Franklin's coat of arms; and the three "plates" (circles on the chevron), taken from the center of the Penn family's coat of arms.

The University of Pennsylvania is a private Ivy League research university in Philadelphia. The University claims a founding date of 1740 and is one of the nine colonial colleges chartered prior to the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
