A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT To The Owl, 1946 You ask for a Greeting. In answer, at first it seemed that Hello, if said just right, would be Greeting enough. Any more might spoil it. And now, after thinking for a while, Hello still seems enough. But because I must write the word rather than say it a bit of explanation may be needed. My Hello means that I like you and am dead-pleased if you like me. It means all hail goodwill and kindness to you. It means that you and I are trying to keep all the nobility in us up on top and it means that we are glad in such a way of doing. Hello—and as we say to one another Hello, I hope that at no place on earth can there be more meaning packed into a word. John G. Bowman President of the University Dr. Bowman congratulate degree receivers. Dr. Bowman and colloaguos at Commencement. 11

THE NORWEGIAN ROOM View of the blue and orange floral paneling and Kleber stone fireplace. Judy and Lois cram in a Norwegian Room nook. The Norwegian Room, newest of Pitt's famed Nationality Rooms was finished in the fall of 1945. Showing the work of seven years, the room represents the Norwegian Eighteenth Century. Built entirely of wood with the exception of Ihe fireplace which is made of Kleber stone, the room is typically Norwegian with a color scheme of blue and orange floral design. 12 The paneling was all hand painted.
