THE SECRETARY Peacetime to Dr. John Weber, Secretary of the University. means keeping Pitt abreast of the times. A Pitt graduate, Mr. Weber was made an instructor in mechanical engineering in 1910; later, after taking time out to serve as a captain in World War I, he became head of the department. As supervising engineer of the University, he helped in the building of the Cathedral. In recognition cf his executive ability. Mr. Weber was made Secretary of the University in 1936. His administrative duties, however, have not caused him to neglect details of construction. Mr. Weber is looking ahead to the time when the Cathedral, as the center of University life, will be used for liberal arts alone, scientific courses being removed to new buildings. Dr. John Wobor ADMINISTRATION Dr. J. G. Quick THE REGISTRAR Post-war days have meant busier days to Dr. J. Gilbert Quick, University registrar. With thousands of vets returning to school, Pitt's enrollment is larger today that it has ever been, and Dr. Quick arose to meet this emergency in his usual efficient manner. First appointed assistant registrar, Dr. Quick became registrar in 1916. Since then Dr. Quick has had definite objectives for his work. To improve the quality cf the students and to maintain high school relations, he himself conducts the interviews for honor scholarships. Under his guidance the mechanics of enrollment have been simplified. Pitt was the first school to adopt blueprint transcription of grades. In addition to his duties as registrar, Dr. Quick is also a member of the American Association cf Collegiate Registrars. In 1945 he was granted the honorary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy from Westminster College.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHANCELLOR To the Students: You who are graduating have seen many changes at the University since you came as freshmen. Five years ago the University was operating on a peacetime program. After that it was called upon to meet a war emergency. This it did with its program of Training to Win . Ten thousand young men and women were trained to be physically, mentally, and spiritually fit for the responsibilities which they would meet in war. You recall soldier students of Air Crew, Area and Language studies, Personnel Psychology, Civil Affairs Training, Engineering, Medicine, and Dentistry. They marched and sang and went on to their grim tasks. Then, the surrender of Japan brought veterans to the campus in large numbers. As this is being written early in the second semester approximately four thousand veterans are here. They are older, more serious, more determined. As you have progressed toward your goal you have adjusted yourselves to all these changes in a remarkable way. Our country now needs you with your youth, vigor, and ability to adjust. It needs your laughter, optimism, and strength. You will go forth in a world which has been brought together overnight by war, transportation and communication. Barriers have been erased. You must think in terms of a world in which boundaries between oceans, continents, islands, nations, and states are broken down. Understanding and good will and tolerance must replace ignorance and hate and prejudice. We are proud to have had a share in your development. R. H. Fitzgerald Chancellor and Mr . Fitzgerald grcol quests at the celebration of the Women's The Chancollor meets Freshman parents at the Chancellor's Reception Fiftieth Anniversary at Pitt 15

G. Dixon Shrum. Proaidont Howard Zieglor, Vicc-prosidont THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The graduation of a Pitt students marks a transition from the undergraduate world to the greater world of the alumnus. The graduate will always have a memory of, and an interest in the University of which he was once a part. Made up of ten constituent alumni groups, the General Alumni Association was formed to keep this interest ever alive and growing. Last year its activities included a dinner-bridge, the yearly Christmas party for the children of the faculty and alumni, and the traditional sponsorship of Charter Day. To keep those far away aware of alumni and of University activities, the Alumni Review is published four times each year. In recent years the war curtailed some of the association's activities, but with over one thousand of its members returning from overseas, the Association believes that Back-to-Normal means a larger and more active membership. Bernard Thompson, Vice-president Ruth Lee Diorker, Treasurer I. Clyd9 Barton. Secrot :y
