In the department the student is steeped in the knowledge of centuries. The kalei- doscopic accomplishments of mankind are flashed before his brain in glittering array. Here is forged the crucible of all skill. Here, too, devoted to the service of man- kind are those who fashion by constant con- tact the life of the Pitt student. From their various positions they im- part not alone the technical knowledge of science. They offer insight on the magic art of life. Their friendships - their fellowship - the generous application of their experi- ence - is the invaluable heritage of the Pitt Student. In the past - the present - the future they emblemize - A Wav of Living. The ideal toward which the spirit pervading the Pitt campus has always pointed has been one ex- emplifying the truest democratic spirit. Sham, pre- tense. snobbish sophistication and tinsel have never been condoned. The golden rule has been expressed by decent living, one to another, and places of leadership and influence are open to all who prove their merit ami ability. This spirit has become so inculcated in the lives of her students that in after college days Pitt Alumni have carried these principles over into their relation- ships with their fellow workers and neighbors. It has created a desire to better human relationships. It has placed emphasis upon a fullness in the lives of people, not upon the acquisition of things. It has indeed become. -AWAYOF LIVING .May this volume commemorate the lives of those living upon the campus at the present and serve as an inspiration to future college generations to live and work constructively and harmoniously for the betterment of all those things that are the greatest in life —love, joy, hope, home, child, wife, trust, faith, God.

Porter Library was opened for use during the summer of 1927. On the first floor are located the high-school library, reserve reading room, and publishers library. A stairway f black and white Italian marble leads to the seeond floor, which contains the main reading rooms and librarian's office. The College Museum occupies the third floor. It is well equipped with an adequate number of standard encyclopedias, dic- tionaries, indices, bound periodicals, government publications, and other material suited for general and special reference work. RUSS HALL The nucleus about which the entire college is formed is the administration build- ing or Russ Hall, which is the oldest and largest structure on the campus. Rising four stories, it contains the office of the President, and the rest of the adminis- trative offices of the college, eight separate departments and the junior and senior high school. [ 11 1 The Industrial rts building, provid- ing complete and commodious facilities for industrial education, is used ex- clusively for industrial and applied arts. Tliis building contains the wood- working, printing, machine shop, draw- ing and art departments, and the Kanza office. One of the finest and l est equipped buildings of its kind in the state of Kansas is Science Hall. It is a three story brick building, containing the auditorium with a seating capacity of 2.200. The departments of agriculture, biology, chemistry, and home eco- lomics are located in this building. INDUSTRIAL ARTS HUH SCIENCE HALL r i31 Frances Willard Hall Frances Willard Hall was erected in 1923 and formally opened in the second semester of 1921. The hall is a commodious four-storv dormitory for single college women and is fully equipped with parlor, reception and rooming accommodations for one-hundred and eleven women. It is located within a block of the library and cafeteria, and across the street from the campus, making it convenient for the college women living here. -Ar fl� l Gymnasium An immense floor space on which two basketball games may be in progress at the same time is perhaps the outstanding fea- ture of the gymnas- ium. It also contains a magnificent swimming pool, class rooms. shower baths, locker rooms, ami ofiiciv. Brandenburg Field MUSIC HALL Music hall, ;i large building on the campus devoted entirely to the school of music, is most attractive. It is a three story structure and every convenience for the study of music was considered when it was designed. The first and second stories center around an auditorium which lias a scaling capacity of 600, and which i., equipped with a fine pipe organ. Several studios, classrooms, and officers are also located on the first floor. Along with more classrooms and studios, an art gallery is located on the second floor. The third floor is comprised of thirty sound proof practice rooms, several studia,, hand room, and a large wardrobe for uniforms. The building is also equipped with an electric elevator, making possible the easy moving of pianos and other equipment. 16] . Horaee Mann Training School MECHANIC ARTS ' CAFETERIA The Mechanic Arts building is devoted for the most part to automobile mechanics, physics, and pre-engineering work. The build- ing was completed in 1925 and is one of the best equipped shops of it.- kind in this section of the state. This building houses the follow- ing departments: Auto Mechanics. Mechani- cal Engineering, Electrical Shops. Radio Shops and Upholstering rooms. This building is also the home of the college busses. In 1921 the legislature appropriated $25,000 for the erection of a permanent one- story. fireproof cafeteria building to replace the temporary structure that had Iw-en in use over a period of year.-. To this sum was added accrued profits from the cafeteria. Equipment has been added from time to time and today the plant represents an invest- ment of about $70,000. [ 18] RUSS HALL f ioi HEATING PLANT The central healing plant with its coal and ash handling machinery, con- tains the boilers and auxiliary equip- ment for heating all the buildings on the eampus. High pressure steam is con- veyed to each building through ospeeial- ly constructed tunnels.

Glen Hall was chosen by the ladies present as Ladies' Knight. The dance was a triumph of the social calendar of the year. The second dance was the “Pre-Holiday Dance , held in the afternoon the week In-fore dismissal for Christinas vacation. This was a very in- formal affair which proved very Conducive to a good time for all. The annual Varsity Prom , the climax of the Council’s social calendar of the year was held in the Eagle’s Ball Room January 24.

The Council President took charge of the assembly program every other week alternating with Prexy, and presented very interesting programs. The president was also called upon several times to take charge ot holidays celebrating an athletic victory. The Council's legislative activities of the year were numerous. It Iran- died many troublesome problems which were brought to it by students. In all instances the council showed real diplomacy in its legislative business. It also presented President Jiraiidenburg with a petition ask- ing that action be taken regarding the traffic problems which existed on South Broadway. The result of this work was very gratifying as the city took quick action in remedying the situation. The Student Council of 1935-36 owes much of its success to the able advice of Miss Lulu McPherson, its sponsor, and to the fine support of President Brandenburg.

The second one to appear was Della Sigma Kpsilon in May 1920. In July of the same year Alpha Sigma lpha was organi eil. Sigma Sigma Sig- ma was organized in February, two years later: followed by Theta Sigma I psilon in Dccentlier. 1923. Pi Delta Theta in May, 1928. The last six sororities mentioned are all National Teachers College Sororities and are mcinltcr� of the As- sociation of Education Sororities. I he local Panhellenic Council is under the sii|M-ivision of tin- Association of Education Sor- orities Council which is composer! of one repre- sentative from each sorority on its official roll. This organization is helpful to the local Pan- hcllcnie Council in many ways. It establishes standards of excellence along every line of sor- otily endeavor, ami furnishes all kinds of mater- ial for the discussion of all matters of interest to th«- sorority wotld in general and the Educa- tion Sororities in particular. It also gives a code of sorority ethics ami serves as a court of final appeal in the casr of local panhellenic difficulties. Any sorority found guilty, by the local Panhellenic Association, of violating any of the articles of the constitution or by-laws, is reported to the Director of the AES, who takes the matter up with the AES Council and they decide the penally. Three delegates are chosen by each national sorority in the school to represent them in the Panhellenic Council. If possible these d-legatr are the president, one upper-da� ' representative, ami one lower-class girl, this last to he the up|� cr- chi representative the following year. The fac- ulty sponsors of «•ach sorority are e� officio mem- bers. Local sororities are urgeri to become mem- bers of the association under the same provisions for representation. The offices of the Council are held in rotation liv the sororities according to the time of their establishment on the campus in the school.

The term of office l� o?ins and ends with the school year. The regular meeting i held the first Tuesday in each month during the year. This year each sorority has taken its turn at entertaining the I'anhellenie Council meetings in the respective houses. This has proved successful and has brought alxuii a closer fellowship among the different sororities. Many interesting talks arc given in meetings concerning sorority life and sorority problems. I’lans for programs for the meetings were sent to the I'anhellenie Association each month by the Yssocialion of Kduealion Sororities. One of the most important duties of the As- sociation is the fixing of the date for Kush week and the passing and enforcing of rushing rules, fault year now rush rules are made and passed by the Association. All sororities in I’anhellenie are required to abide by these rules—those who do not are subject to a |K-nally which is to be decided by the AKS Council. It also attempts to regulate matters pertaining to local I'anhellenie life ami does everything possible to encourage all chapters to take an active part in all school and college activities for the Iwllerment of all concerned. The-c are the duties of the I'anhellenie Council, hut one of tin- main put|M� cs of this organization is to strive to develop a closer intersoro'ity fel- lowship. The object of the organization is to help tin- sororities work together and not against each other so that sorority life will Ik- much hap- pier ami will mean more t the girls of this campus. The I’anhellenie sponsors a formal dance each spring. The dance was held this year at the Klks Hall February 21. with Kvcrell Hart’s orchestra playing.

Vl the present time there are twenty-two active chapters and six alumnae chapters. Eta Active Chapter was in- stalled at Kansas State Teaebe.s College. Pittsburg. Kansas. July 3. 1920. Eta Alumnae Chapter was organized a short time later. There have been four new active chapters installed recently. Each year the Eta Chapter dor some professional work.

Another piece of work which was done litis year was helping to s|nmsor the “Home Economics Day which was for the high school gills in •his section of the � late. Many other worth-while projects are carried out during the year. Phi Uprilon Omicron owes it name to Prof. John Hutchinson, head of the department of Creek at the I nivetsity of Minnesota. After several interviews lie sub- mitted several suggestions, and from them a committer chose one which lias become a part of Phi I psilon Omicron. Probably lie never realized what a real con- tribution lie made; certainly he never realized how many lives his work would influence. This paragraph from Professor Hutchinson’ letter shows how well lie grasped our ideals: how well he understood what the founder of Phi I psilon Omicron were trying to do. Our motto must, therefore, hr Greek in word only— in spirit perhaps, also, in this at least that all attempts to reduce to order the disorderly; to eomhinc the practical with the ideal; to make material conditions minister to a healthy and harmoniously developed hody under the control of a spirit in love with order and at- tuned to harmony all this is the very essence of Greek Pedagogy.’ The officers for the past year were Lola Craig.

C. at Pittsburg a your Alma Mater. Now we will have more things in common. Did you meet Dean Milchcll tfliili- you were on llie campus? Sim is so nice to all I lie girls. W hen I read you had a room at Willard Hall I was so thrilled and recalled the first trip I made to tin- campus. Father drove | ast the Hall twice hefme I had the courage to go in The building is mi large, hut when you get into those spacious parlors they have such a friendly atmosphere they seem in reality as we used to read about “going away to college. Before you are there twenty-four hours you will In- as familiar with every floor as you are with our four room cabin in the O ark . Did you notice the cheerful fireplace. After you have been skating or wlu-n you come in from the show that open fireplace is a real comfort. Try toasting marshmallows over the coals. They are delicious. Don’t get too busy to read the daily papers, they are always in tin- parlor or office. If you can’t lake your radio, use the one in the | ailor. Don’t you enjoy Major Bowes’ Hour? You have heard me mention Natalie. Our friendship is still priceless. Our freshman year we met at a covered dish dinner we planned. After the meal we would “roll the rugs, sing or visit until the quiet hour at eight. The day some of iis went roller skating the emergency kit in the office proved a big help. Ni-vrr will I forget my first year in Pitts- burg before Christmas vacation. Plan were being made for the Christmas breakfast -g}id gift exchange. I wondered what it was all almut, hut I didn't a k questions. My room was on the second fliMir and alx ut 6:30 A. M. I was awakened by singing and within a few seconds I was ready to join the group of girls a� we ang carols on our way to the parlors. There we found a huge Christmas tree burdened with gifts and a warm breakfast on the table ready to he served. Uemembcr the picture over my desk you always admire. It was on the tree for me my sophomore year. One evening I was invited to a Halloween party and was I in tears when the la l | aieel I osi failed to bring my costume. I had a date with tin- President of the Student Council and how could I break the dale at that late hour, hut how was I to go. What was I to wear??? My roommate suggested making a costume. The problem was solved hv using the machine on third, the one on second was in use. There- fore, I went to the parly. Never mis a party at Willard Hall. I have every one of my programs in my memory lxxik. After you enroll I’ll promise to write you often, the postman comes- twice each day. and occasionally I will mail you a box id food. There are dishes in the kitchenette that ran he checked ■•lit when the girls plan a feed in their rooms. 1 know you will be happy there, you can stay in your room and study any hour without being disturbed by hanging a Study” card on your door. Some week end I will leave Jutiioi with mother and come down and visit you. You can bring your blankets to the guest room and we will visit until the “wee hours of the morning.” Love to all from.
