In Popular Culture
In the film Remember the Titans, Gettysburg College is the site of the summer football camp. An important scene involves Coach Herman Boone waking the players early to jog to the battlefield, where he delivers a speech on racism. Although the coach specifically mentioned once that Gettysburg College was the site of the camp, a different college was used for filming. The campus depicted in the film displays Gothic Revival architecture, but the actual campus of Gettysburg College is primarily Georgian.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
