Uh oh, lest the UPenn alumni among us get angry (high, Ron!) I feel I
must point out that UREP wasn't from the University of Pennsylvania,
but rather, from The Pennsylvania State University (yes, "The" is part
of the name). UPenn (upenn.edu) is an Ivy in Philly; Penn State
(psu.edu) is a state school in University Park, which is next to State
College (really, that's the name of the town) with satellite campuses
scattered around the state.
