Description
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.
This image is available in color as well as black and white.
