But beneath this spirit of celebration and under the red and blue spotlights surrounding College Green, alumni remained mystified and angry at Gutmann's handling of the departure of former Dean of Admissions Lee Stetson.

Against Yale on Friday, the Penn field hockey team led only for only four minutes and 21 seconds. But the Bulldogs led for even less -- 3:56, and the Quakers were in front when it counted, winning 4-3 in overtime. The team's weekend was not perfect however, as it did lose to No.
