Penn is having an identity crisis according to a new article published by The New Republic.
The article attempts to explore the relationship between the school's number one party school ranking by Playboy and its pre-professional culture.

This comes on the heels of an article published by The New Republic in July criticizing Ivy League culture.
The Daily Pennsylvanian's arts and culture magazine, 34th Street — whose issue on all things identity is coming out Thursday — is cited twice.
