location and in thus providing a plan for the erection of buildings the construction of which will take many years, two vitally essential steps have been taken. For the first time in the history of the University an opportunity is really given to the people of Pittsburg to provide for the enlargement and growth of the institution which has been in their midst for one hundred and twenty years. With the single exception of 1 Berkeley, the site for the new University is perhaps the most striking and beautiful in all America. The construction of the first building will begin in June. The construction of other buildings will begin and continue as rapidly as the means are put into the hands of the trustees for the purpose. Only one thing can be predicted with certainty, and that is whether it takes ten years or fifty years the plan in its essential features will be carried out and Pittsburgh will have a University worthy of her greatness. It is fitting that Pittsburgh, whose name is famed throughout the world, should have among her cherished possessions an institution of learning which shall be worthy of the limitless resources of the great region; and it is equally fitting that Pittsburgh’s University should crown with classic beauty one of the multitude of her little hills and thus bring together into an indissoluble union beauty and utility, education and its application to practical uses, science and its manifestation in hundreds of valuable forms, thus typifying the character of the great community of which Pittsburgh is the vital center.
