Records, 1923-1951.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122543503

The Department of Athletic Communications Records primarily contains press releases and correspondence from the department during the period 1935-1951, with an unusually high concentration of material from the 1950-1951 school year. The press releases are the bulk of this collection, and approximately half of those releases are football- and basketball-related. A good deal of the correspondence portion of the collection deals with football, the largest sport at Penn at the time. The collection includes a good deal of correspondence regarding press credentials and seats for the 1932-1935 Army-Navy gridiron games held at Franklin Field. This collection also contains a significant amount of press-related correspondence regarding the Penn Relay Carnivals from 1938 to 1942.
