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:
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
