TRANSIT, V-OL. XLV Uhr Btu Ahminintratinh iguilhing T is a diflicult thing for the student body to express its appreciation of a gift to the Institute, such fiiiigxi as was recently made by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Association of Pittsburgh, a gift of 5125,- E 000 for the erection of a new Administration Building. Only in the student publications can clue acknowledgment be made and we take this opportunity to say, that we, the students, feel the loyalty to Rensselaer, thus expressed by the Pittsburgh Alumni to be the best evidence of the strength of the bonds which hold us together-friendships formed in the classrooms and on the athletic field, maintained as alumni and devoted to the best interests of Rensselaer. The new building, to be called the Pittsburgh Building, in honor of the Pittsburgh Alumni, is to be located upon the ground now occupied by the old Rankin l-louse. It is to be built of Harvard brick with light sandstone trimmings, thus being in exterior finish similar to the other new buildings of the Institute. It will be hve stories in height and will be of hreproof construction. Owing to the slope of the ground at the proposed site, the two lower floors will practically be basements. There will be abundant room for the Institute library and museum, in addition to meeting rooms, offices, and a large lecture room. The architect, William G. Wilkins of Pittsburgh, of the hrm of W. G. Wilkins and Co., is a member of the class of IS77.
