Palestra data: Dr. William N. Bates, University of Pennsylvania professor of Greek, suggested the arena's name. 'The Greeks had the gymnasia, where their young men trained for their feats of prowess, wrestling, gymnastics, tumbling, leaping and the like,' Bates said. 'And then they had their Palestra, a rectangular enclosure attached to the gymnasium where they displayed their prowess to the view of all who would come to view.' Ralph Morgan, who became a Penn trustee, said the name was 'authentic, novel, dignified and descriptive.'
