Pitt—Full of Promise On September 28th, 1914, the University of Pittsburgh entered upon its one hundred and twenty-eighth year of existence with a total enrollment of 3,156, and up to the first of April, 1915, the enrollment had mounted to the unprecedented figure of 3,535, including 350 extension students. This remarkable increase over the attendance of the year prior, when it was 2,830, permitted Pitt to take rank as the sixteenth largest University in the United States. It is a matter of fact that the University of Pittsburgh is the oldest institution of learning west of the Alleghanies, save the University of Nashville. Dating back to 1787 when the Pittsburgh Academy was incorporated, classes were conducted under the new grant until 1819, when a second charter was approved by the Legislature, re-incorporating the Academy as the Western University of Pennsylvania. The College existed as the sole school until 1892, when the Engineering and Professional Schools were organized. In 1908 the name was changed to the University of Pittsburgh, and the organization of the University completed to include: 1. T he College. 2. The Graduate School. 3. The School of Engineering. 4. T he School of Mines. 5. The School of Economics. 6. T he School of Education. 7. The School of Law. 8. The School of Medicine. 9. The School of Dentistry. 10. T he School of Pharmacy. 11. The School of Astronomy (Allegheny Observatory). In 1910 the Department of Industrial Research was established and is now known as the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. 21
