The University of Pennsylvania has not met Harvard or Yale, but she has met and defeated many of the best college crews in the country. Neither is it her fault that she has not met them.

As long as they hold this position of exclusiveness, it cannot be definitely proved that they are not entitled to the pre-eminence they arrogate. - [University Magazine (Penn.)
