University of Pittsburgh - Owl Yearbook (Pittsburgh, PA)

The student, who, by the time he has reached his senior year has learned to think objectively and analytically, who is tolerant of other's view-points and cautious about jumping at conclusions, has acquired an asset and a balance that will be invaluable to him forever after. Some acquire it in greater degree than others, hut no one who is intelligent can live, work and play with his friends in the University without profiting by the maturing influences of the University environment. Life will require the best you have at all times, but for the able it will be filled with so much of interest that it can never be monotonous. You will soon be depending upon yourself instead of the faculty for guidance. Your mistakes will be costly. But character, education and balance will reduce errors of judgment to a minimum, and make continuous growth and development inevitable. V'incbnt Wesley Lanfbar Dean of Men Hail and farewell! I like to say that to seniors. It says so simply, We praise you, we prize you, go on enjoying, go on lengthening your life. I like especially the challenge to extend life. I think it was Martial who said centuries ago, The excellent man prolongs his life; to be able to enjoy one's past life is to live twice. Just as the memory of the joys and pleasures of college days prolongs that life, so may the graduate days to come lengthen that life through their enduring satisfactions. So hail and farewell, seniors! 23 Tiiyrsa Wealth low Amos Dean of Women

This year marks the twenty-eighth anniversary of the founding of a division of the University of Pittsburgh devoted to the offering of university courses in the evenings. Approximately twenty-six hundred men and women have been pursuing studies this year in a wide variety of fields in the Downtown Division. It is really a small university unto itself, where those who arc employed during the day may do their work for a university degree, or may do special and graduate work in particular fields. It is something more than a place where classes meet—it is a university campus, with its social life, its organizations, and its spirit of youth —set down in the midst of the business life of the community. J. Lloyd Mahoney Director of the Downtown Division r It is probable that no college or training school for teachers ever turns out a completed product. At best it serves to short-circuit the long process bv which the hardworking teachers of the pretraining era became known as great teachers. Though we may repeat the popular dictum that great teachers arc born and not made, more serious reflection reveals that these people came into their own after a long period of development. Institutional teacher training is to be considered but the preliminary step, the preliminary time saver to becoming a great teacher. Charles E. Prall Dean of the School of Education 22
