Vol. L— No PITTSBURGH, DECEMBER. 1883. RICK, K CKNTt The Collect- building is situated on Fifth Avenue, some three ami a half miles ire. in the centre of the city. The loca- tion is the most commanding and beautiful within the bounds ol the municipal corporation, being free from the smoke and dust of the city, perfectly retired, and yet within three minutes ' walk of the Oakland horse cars. To use the language of one who is familiar with the scenery of the country: No educational institution in the land can compare with the Pennsyl- vania Female Cc llege tor beauty of situation, purity of atmosphere, compass ol view, and special adaptedness of the location to retirement, combined with ready access to the advantages ol the city. The College is reached from different parts of the city by two principal routes — the Fifth Avenue Street Railway. landing passengers at the College entrance, and the Penn ' a Central Railroad, at East Liberty, and Fifth Avenue Street Cars. Strangers, on arriving at the Union Depot, may obtain all needed information by inquiring for Messrs. Pitt aim q Co., who are authorized by the College to deliver baggage and give directions to all persons desiring to visit the institution. CHRISTMAS VACATION BEGINS DECEMBER iSth, 1883. SESSION RESUMED JANUARY 7th. 18S+ SECOND TERM— MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4th, 1884. The first Pennsylvanicm, 1883 history of the College Back in 1869, when tunes, times and girls were sweet and simple, a group of Pittsburgh men decided to do something about the girls, knowing that the tunes and times would follow. And they did. the men. 1 mean. They founded Pennsylvania Female College on a hill above Fifth Avenue here in Pittsburgh. The men who took the destiny of Pittsburgh into their hands by making this initial break with convention and educating women were Messrs. Thos. Aiken, Jos. Dilworth, Jno. A. Renshaw, Alfd. Harrison, Alex. Chambers, David Aiken. Jr., W. B. Xegley, W. Scully, and Rev. W. T. Beatty. We owe these men a real debt of gratitude. If it hadn ' t been for their willingness to risk male superiority in giving us poor benighted females a chance, do you realize where and what we might be today? I suspect, though, that these men had no idea of the snowball of progress they were starting that February evening in Mr. Aiken ' s home, or they might have thought twice or more about leading us into the light. Since that evening, Pennsylvania Female College has become Pennsylvania College for Women, its one building has become fourteen, its 103 students now number 370, and its curriculum has been enlarged from instruction in spelling, reading, writing. English grammar, arithmetic, geography and history to include everything from setting a table to plotting the course of the stars. Many great names in the field of education have been connected with the college in the course of its seventy-five years, and many of its graduates have made their place in the world as educated women, just as the founders hoped they would. No book, no series of books, could ever tell a complete history of the college; there would always be a few little incidents left out. a name neglected, a teacher forgotten. You know the history of your college, because you have made it. but we would like you to know more about the people who made it before you. Dr. Black and Miss Pelletreau. first president and first preceptress of the college, were the Dr. Spencer and Miss Marks to the early students at PCW. According to one of the catalogues, the supervision of the social life at the college was one of the duties of the president. Miss Pelletreau was responsible for all the formation of the personal habits and manners of the young ladies. It was she who enforced the dictum that the dress of the students be simple and inexpensive on all occasions. To comply with this ruling, suits were promptly adopted by the students. In that respect, the PCW woman hasn ' t changed in seventy-five years; suits are our uniform today, too. In fact, in most respects, there has been very little change. Our hats and heels are higher, our hair goes down instead of up, and just the reverse is true of our skirts, but the gin inside is still the same. She came to school for an education and that is her prime concern. But she is not adverse to a little fun on the side. Of course, dancing at the Terrace Room, movies in East Liberty, and a quick round of tennis have taken the place of our daily walks on Shady Lane, Classical concerts and literary and scientific lectures (which the early students could not attend unchaperoned ) . The hearts of all dorm students went out to the students of the ' 70 ' s when we discovered that they were not permitted to receive callers who did not present a letter of introduction from their parents, went to town for shopping only once a month, and were not allowed to leave school over weekends. This all seems to eliminate the possibility of dates, and looks rather dull to us, but a second thought reminds us that we have no dates now, so who are we to pity the former students? And a third thought makes us feel a little foolish for pitying them at all. As far as they were concerned, they weren ' t missing anything; such rules and regulations were the normal thing. We don ' t have the rules to contend with, but it might be easier than trying to wheedle a leave out of the U. S. armed forces. Miss Pelletreau may have been strict, but she was never like that. In delving into old catalogues and letters for anniversary material, we found one of the nicest of the PCW traditions, one that we would like to reinstate. When graduation day approached, each senior was permitted to select ' the man of her choice ' to escort her in the graduation march. Following the ceremonies there seems to have been a dance, the girls in white dresses and the men in evening dress. Romance flourished in their day, as in ours. In fact, the class of 1894 chose Always keep a certain end in view as their motto, and left no doubt as to their aim in life. Maybe we should take lessons ! Dr. Henry D. Lindsay, Miss Cora Helen Coolidge and Miss Janet Brownlee were the next three people to leave a mark upon the college. Dr. Lindsay as Pres- ident, Miss Coolidge, as Dean and President, and Miss Brownlee as principal of Dilworth Hall, the preparatory department of the college, exerted a very strong in- fluence over the college in this vital period of its growth. Under them, it became an established, not a struggling ins titution. They bridged the gap between PCW ' s beginning and its maturity. Under them, the school ' s adolescent years were happy ones. They handed a scholastically recognized college of the first degree into the keeping of Dr. H. L. Spencer and Miss Mary Helen Marks, who have guided it into being one of the foremost women ' s colleges in America. The history of this college has been a history of people. Of its presidents and deans, of its students, and of its faculty. All of them have added something to what is Pennsylvania College for Women today. And of all these, no two have been of such importance as Miss Marks and Dr. Spencer. They have given the students something of their own fineness and character, they have guarded the tra- ditions, both academic and otherwise, of PCW, and have been sympathetic and helpful to all students in all situations. It was a blow to all of us here in school, and to the alumnae all over the country, when we learned that Dr. Spencer was leaving at the close of the school year. We cannot conceive of a PCW without him, and as seniors are a little pleased that we will never know it. He has been the greatest single force in the history of the college, and under his guiding hand we have become a truly liberal college. He leaves an enviable record behind him, but also leaves his personality in every part of the school. We know that Miss Marks will continue to do in the future all that she has done in the past for PCW. A college is the people who make it. and these two people have indeed made the PCW of 1945.

[28] history of the Qlass of 1945 We came, we saw, we matriculated. That was in September back in 41 when our blue .jeans bad creases and our brains had not yet become accustomed to tbe glare of academic pursuits. About ninety-eight of us trooped up tbe Woodland Road Mountains, and with a shout of Bonanza, planted our flag of red and white on tbe top of Berry Hall Tower. We learned a lot of things those first few weeks . . . how to write our names, hind one first, on schedule cards ... to sing the Dragon Song . . . the approximate cost of a ham and pickle sandwich 2 . . . and the main fea- tures of the Neanderthal man ' . The history of all hitherto existing society is tbe history of class struggle. ' Our class struggled up to be pinned with red and white rib- bons on Color Day — then we struggled desperately through Minnie from Trinidad, and watched the Sophomores wipe the prize chocolate smears from their lips. It didn ' t matter — then — for that afternoon we got our just reward at the Spencer menage — bisque ice cream on meringues with mint sauce and nuts. We were in — known officially as PCW ' s Class of ' 45. It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle. Somehow the Class of ' 45 didn ' t create a stir on the playing field above the gymnasium. Most of the hockey games, it seems, were won by tbe upper classes through our default. But it wasn ' t the default of us, some pundit said, how could we help our knocked knees and flat feets? All in all, we created some kind of record in PCW athletics — never has a class of so many won such a few games. But then we were tbe intellectual types, we kept telling our- selves — until tbe Dean ' s List was published. Scattered through our athletics, song contesting, bridge in the den, there were little interruptions called classes. Young blood must have its Caesar, Julius: Commentaries, Book III. Free translation, also free pretzels, with every bottle of Pepsi-cola. It has been estimated that the cost of a ham and pickle sandwich in the Berry Hall Cafeteria is six (6) cents for one half, or twelve (1-) cents for a complete, unexpurgated edition. We ' ll take tomato and lettuce, thank you. Since the draft board has reared its ugly head with its taking ways, the Class of ' 45 has had the opportunity of viewing the Neanderthal Man shaking hands with the receiving line at every college dance. Karl Marx, from Das Capitate, (we think). All we know is what we read in Bartlett ' s Dictionary of Familiar Quotations. Bartlett — Dictionary of Familiar Quotations — we can ' t exactly re- member who said it, but suspect that he had a corner on the candle market. Some ex-member of the Class of ' 45, who was sent back to Morganza for a refresher course. [29] course, lad. ' And we plotted ours. We soon came to understand that the stream of consciousness wasn ' t a river in West Virginia and that the Greek Parthenon didn ' t serve blue plate specials. In time the authorities gath- ered up enough courage to give us our first hour writtens. My, how those Dean ' s cards did fly ! The days passed. We doubted if we could — particularly when first semester examinations came slithering to our attention. Hut somehow most of us managed to come through with colors flying in some cases, hedge- hopping in others. But nevertheless, we came through and were ready and waiting when the Play Contest rules were read. We listened attentively and someone came through with a one-act that had to do with twins, blind dates, and a yellow wig. We just got to look at the Activities Cup that year, with the name of the Junior Class neatly engraved upon it, but we heard someone say, That Class of ' 45 is going places someday, you mark my term papers. We settled down and took Life as it came — also King Kong Komics and the American Observer. We spent our time in lab autopsies of rigor mortised pigs and in cutting the rug at chapel dances with local swains as yet untainted by the hot breath of the local draft boards. Put by the time we had delivered our Freshman speech orations in the chapel and had taken the prescribed amount of course cuts, the PCW au- thorities decided that they had had enough, and declared a four months summer vacation. We bade goodbye to Freshman phone duty, switched be- hind another pole in chapel and galloped off to field and stream. But soon we received a windowed letter from Miss Weigand, and father robbed another bank to pay the tuition for our Sophomore year at Pennsyl- vania College for Women. We now acquired little sisters, who we advised on life, liberty, and how to eat a full course lunch in the cafeteria for sixteen cents. We en- tered into the spirit of things . . . but, somehow, we never seemed to find the Berry Hall Ghost. Color Day loomed — we were doomed, I tell you, doomed. In spite of our hoarseful rendition of Clementine, the five pounds of R.V.B. went to the Freshman Class. We didn ' t care — much. Also from Bartlett ' s, Ibid., op. cit., or Greetings, friends, have a coke. Probably by some practice teacher. She hasn ' t been heard from since. Note to the F.B.I. All the pigs met with some foul play, we fear. There were those, we understand, who eat lamb chops and fried potatoes for breakfast. It is that type who could eat a full lunch for sixteen cents in the Berry Hall Cafeteria. George Washington never told a lie. though. But then we eat canned cherries. [30] The Activities Council, since their inter est in tents was intense, an- nounced that a circus would he held in Berry Hall. We knocked our heads together, and decided we were the type for a freak show. The star was the world ' s only coffee drinking penguin. Little alumnae children, full of glee and popcorn halls, came dancing and singing in to see the bird. No one ever saw him as he was out the whole evening looking for a pound of coffee. We thought that was hilarious. The judges didn ' t, and awarded the cup to the Juniors. Undaunted by failure, we hastened to make plans for the 194. ' 3 Play Contest. An effective symbolistic one-act was dreamed up. Its equipment included several actresses, furniture and a King sized ash tray with several two foot cigarettes. The judges, unfortunately, from their cheaper priced seats in the rear, could not see the chemical smoke floating from the cigar- ettes to the ceiling, and we lost. Foiled again — by a cigarette that didn ' t satisfy. But came the transformation! Moving-up Day we gaily sneaked into the chapel section in front of the pole. Huzzah, cried one of the new additions to the upper division, We ' re Juniors! We can see the whites of the speaker ' s eyes ! ' ,1J One drawback to our new ' posisch, ' however, was our proximity to the clear-eyed Faculty. Now we had to get our eight hours sleep in the little bed at home. Soon came the four months summer lay-off without pay. But Miss Weigand came through again with her rendition of My Bill, and papa sent us off again to get his money ' s worth. But it was worth the price. Since we were now in the upper division, we could now settle down to the course of our choice, and we had, by this time, gathered up enough nerve and energy to eat five hamburgers on Mountain Day. But the day of glory came with the Play Contest. With pens dipped in blood we wrote a number called The Case Bests. The audi- ence that night was plunged into faintings and hysteria. The judges, too, were hysterical from our killer thriller, and awarded the Cup to our Class of ' 45. We had ended our record of being the consecutive winner of every losing place in every contest offered at PCW since our entrance in 1941. We calmed down enough by September of ' 44 to enter the Senior Class — all except a few of our members who quietly transferred to Mayview. 1 It was then that we acquired our new fashionable dress numbers — approved by Good Housekeeping for what the well-dressed Seniors should wear. It was a snappy black job in that new length midway between ankle and calf Probably written by someone who stubbed her toe on Bunker Hill. These members seemed to have a little trouble transferring certain credits. Most of these black costumes had gay little polka dot spots, gravy- colored and served in all sizes. [31] — with that fullness so becoming to the figure, and that casual, impressed look about the pleats. Our hats had, besides beauty, that utility angle — they could carry books, tossed salad in the cafeteria, and in case of emer- gency could be used as a landing field for a B-29. Since we were the Seniors at the Pennsylvania College for Women, Thomas E. Dewey decided to run against Franklin D. Roosevelt for the office of President of the United States. As we were so inordinately in- terested in current affairs we decided to have a Mock Election. Our class put up the Peoples ' ' Party. Our put-up jobs were Clare Looth Bruce, and Matthew Flood who was opposing Fala Roosevelt. Matthew, long ears combed into a Veronica Lake coiffure, stated his policies before the Dog- Lovers and Senior Lovers Association of Pennsylvania College for Women. In the long run, Thomas E. Dewey lost, but Matthew won, by a dog ' s nose. Our class won the Activities Cup, and Matthew went home to dog itches. The rest of the year, the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of PCW, went faster than the cokes in the den machines. We burned the midnight oil with a hard gemlike flame, and we cooked with gas as far as activities went. At the beginning of the second semester we began having preliminary symp- toms of that dread disease, Nostalgia. Our lost youth ' ' was beginning to be mourned, and we started to talk about the good old days when we were Juniors with a whole year of PCW ahead of us. We turned the other cheek ' when we heard plans being made for the 1945-46 catalogue, and we felt the green-eyed monster dripping on our shoulders when we met the prospective students of PCW. After all the honor pledges were signed on the final exams, and our caps and gowns had been consigned to the drycleaners for that big day, we began a whirl of parties that were designed to make us forget that we had to leave. Picnics, breakfasts, dinners, flowers, signatures on the year book — all these took so much of our time and energy that we had little room for lamentation and regret. All of us, though, managed to find enough time for weeping and gnashing of molars. These four years at PCW were a lot of things — years of new friends and books, new musings and a four year expansion job on our mental outlook. These four years spent in an Ivory Tower that had windows open- ing on the big world and laughter in every room. When we read this year book, say thirty years from now, we will be looking at our college years in a perspective light. We know that these years at PCW will be seen at a distance just as bright and shining as thev are now. We haven ' t found it yet. Probably hiding behind the skirts of Father Time. The first cheek was busy blushing at our athletic record. [32] wJ - Pauline Wilson Ackenheil 6412 Aylesboro Avenue Pittsburgh 17, Pa. Lois E. Allshouse 5759 Howe Street Pittsburgh (i. Pa.
