FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF WOMEN AT PITT 25

Page 28 text:

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF WOMEN AT PITT We the students of the University have heard Stein Sisters, Twelfth Floor and Fiftieth Anniversary many times this year, for this year is the Fiftieth Anniversary of Women at Pitt. For during the fifty years since Stella and Margaret Stein entered Pitt, women have been given equal education in all fields, opportunity to prove their ability and the right to stand side by side with men in the University. Now there are women in every course offered by the University and they have made a place for themselves in University life. In activities or studies, they are always eager to do their share of the work. This year Pitt women had as their goal the finishing of the Twelfth Floor. The twelfth floor is where Pitt women may go to read and relax, study and plan for teas and parties. Miss Helen Poole Rush, our Dean of Women is ever present to see the girls retain the high standards that are identified in Pitt women. Chancellor Fitzgerald wishes the women at Pitt to succeed. He supported and attended the Nixon Benefit. Our girls study, work, and laugh together. A part of Pitt, our WOMEN. 24

Stella Mathilda Stein PITT COEDS Margaret Lydia Stein 1896-1946 We celebrate the past, and we look forward to the future, said Chancellor Holland at the celebration of the 110th anniversary cf the University in 1897. Two years before he spoke, and fifty years ago in the fall of 1895, two young women had stepped aboard a streetcar. They were Stella and Margaret Stein on their way to attend classes at the Western University of Pennsylvania, then located on Perrys-ville Avenue in Allegheny City. Their presence so surprised the new students that the 1895 forerunner of the 1945 wolf call was long coming, but when it did come, the Stein sisters were fondly referred to as specimens. They had caught the school unprepared and Chancellor Holland was forced to give them his rooms in which to spend their free hours and to follow the studies of the Latin-Scientific Course. Their activities consisted cf Membership in the Phl-loniathiau Literary Society and attendance at musical concerts and rival games between W and J and WUP. Margaret and Stella graduated in the class of '98, and walked away with the honors open to them—Stella as Valedictorian and Margaret as Class Prophet. They were pioneers in co-education and the women at Pitt tcday are grateful to them. Coeds have seen three wars take students from the classrocm, and have watched them return. In 1908 they saw the Western University of Pennsylvania become the University of Pittsburgh. From 1908 to 1921 they watched the building of State, Thaw, and Alumni Halls, and labored up the Hill to classes. In 1926 they saw ground broken for the Cathedral of Learning and later for Heinz Chapel and Stephen Foster Memorial. Coeds have gone to Pitt under the Chancellors Holland, McCormick, Bowman and Fitzgerald. They have grown up with Pitt. One thing only has not changed since that fall morning in 1895. Today approximately 1300 young women step aboard street cars to attend classes at the University of Pittsburgh. Their presence is no longer a curiosity, and a wolf call is frequently heard. They aren't specimens any more, but a part of the University. Women at Pitt have their own government, their own Dean, their own meeting places, and promise of more. They put on glamour to attend dances, shed it to yell a big Alleghenee at football games. They can become teachers, doctors, engineers, or follow any course the school offers. They can become members of the orchestra, the choir, honorary and social fraternities. They can be class and organization officers. They can be editors and staff members of campus publications. They can be Senior Queen and Alma Mater. Coeds are scholars and dreamers and pioneers. The school and the world are iheirs to conquer and to better. So, on the 50th Anniversary of Women at Pitt, we the school year of 1945-46, coeds repeat Chancellor Holland's words We celbrate the past, and we look forward to the future. 26
