Penn Quakers

And I hope you noticed that I have my University of Pennsylvania tie on today.

And always great to have a fellow Penn grad of Penn Quaker.

Tell us about University of Pennsylvania and then subsequently Harvard Business School.

But fantastic background.

In high school and at the University of Pennsylvania, he embodied the early 20th century ideal of the complete amateur athlete, strong enough for football, skilled enough for baseball, fast, resilient enough for track, and disciplined enough to move between all three at a very high level.

article after article published in the 1920s, Lisberry as the finest athlete ever produced by the Penn Quakers.

That is a direct quote.

Have you heard of him? I certainly hadn't.

He starred in football.

He became an intercollegiate track champion from 1915 through 1918, despite a brief interruption for Army service in 1916.

On the football field, Barry was a multi-talented star for the Penn Quakers.

Halfback, fullback, putter, and field goal kicker, exactly the kind of multi-purpose player prized before the days of specialization.
