 9 2 HISTORY THE sturdy pioneers who crossed the Allegheny Mountains and settled with their families in the wilderness at the forks of the Ohio had all the characteristics which have made the Anglo-Saxon people a race of conquerors. Chief among these characteristics was the knowledge that “the education of the youth ought to be a primary object of every government. As early as 1770 a school was established, which in 1787 was formally incorj oratcd as Pittsburgh Academy. Under able instructors the Academy flourished, and by 1819 had grown to such an extent as to justify the application for a new charter. This was granted and the name was changed to “The Western University of Pennsylvania.” The curriculum was enlarged and the school entered upon its career as an institution of higher learning. The first faculty consisted of Dr. Robert Bruce, Dr. John Black. Dr. E. P. Swift. Dr. Joseph McElroy, and Rev. Charles B. Maguire. Here were Romanist. Presbyterian. Reformed and Associate Presbyterian, working together at a time when feeling between the rival denomination was intense. As to the student body the same generosity of sentiment prevailed; there was to be no respect of creed or color. During the administration of Dr. Bruce, the University attained a place for itself among the institutions of higher learning. The administration of Rev. Herman Dyer, from 1843 to 1849, was marked by two disastrous fires, one in 1845 and one in 1849. This double loss resulted in the suspension of work until 1855.
