In 2011, Penn Libraries acquired the papers and memorabilia of songwriter and Penn alum Ray Evans and his wife Wyn (Almanac September 27, 2011). Ray Evans, half of a songwriting duo with Jay Livingston, wrote several classics of the Great American Songbook, including “Mona Lisa,” “Que Sera Sera,” and, in 1950, the holiday perennial “Silver Bells.”
