We're Kind Of A Big Deal: Penn Gets A New York Times Crossword Shout-Out

Congratulations Penn, we did it! The New York Times has graced us with a shout-out. Since we’re a polite university, it’s only natural for us to write a thank you note to our NYT pals.

*Cue Jimmy Fallon thank you note music*

Dear New York Times,

Thank you for the crossword shout-out. We honestly aren’t sure if we're more excited about this or Elizabeth Banks hosting SNL.

More importantly, thank you for not mentioning Princeton. With Homecoming just around the corner, your timing is truly impeccable.

One last thing: how many people contacted you guys to say that the correct answer is actually Penn State? We're dying to know. 

Best wishes,

Dear Old Penn
