Tin liri siili nl llonora riiis Dr. John GiIIhtI ItoMinnn Aii energetic idealist. President IIoxokakich John i. Bowman lielicved in the present and future students of the University more than anyone else. He dedicated his life to the Cathedral of learning, which he has explained simply, represents on the outside what a man should Ik on the inside. He lielieved and worked on the principle that the student would Ik taught l y his surroundings. Cuided firmly hy this Ix-lief he did not yield from his purpose of Building a University of which we would all Ik proud. Few students from the lass of 194!) know the man whose faith raised this Cathedral of learning, for I)r. Bowman has been living for the past few years in re- tirement at his farm in Hcfdord County. He no longer takes part in the everyday administration of the University he helped build, although he occasionally attends I 'niversity functions. The class of 1949 has left its mark in the stone and mortar of the Cathedral of I .earning. The building too has left some irremovable marks on the minds and hearts of this graduating class. We will forever Ik aware of days of youth and learning when we see this tower from all parts of the eitv of Pittsburgh, or when its vision is recalled in some far off place in the world. Dr. Bowman can truthfully feel that his faith in the students of the University has Ik cii rewarded. 21

Tin Chancellor Chancellor Itiifii II. Fitzgerald The Chancellor's Message To Seniors: You who have lx cn .students here the past year have lived at a time of greatness in the history of the Tniversity. In the I’niversity and in the community around it faith and optimism stirred men's imagination and set them working with fresh energy. People have developed new enthusiasm for what the I’niversity is trying to do. An immediate need was some huidlings and equipment for the Iniversity to do better its work of teaching and research. Members of the board of Trustees and of the Faculty. leading citizens of Western Pennsylvania, and many Alumni gave their time and their money, bast June an anonymous gift of $8,000.000 was made for the Medical School: in Septeml»er a gift of $18,600,000 came from the A. V. Mellon Educational and Charitable 'Trust for a Graduate School of Public Health: one Western Pennsplvauia corporation gave as much as $800,000: one Alumnus gave $2.50.000: many others gave generously, according to their more modest means. These gifts of money mean much, but what is behind the giving and what the gifts are to mean to students and teachers in the I niversity is much more. The I’niversity is here to help you and the students who come after you develop the ability to think, values by which you will live, and courage to act. Above all, we hope that this Cniversitv may help you in the great adventure of life to Ik your lx st self. For the understanding, the help, and the loyalty of you. the students. I am deeply grateful. Chancellor Fitzgerald joins the students in enthusiasm at the Penn State victory Hally. Here he mimics Bolkovac who caught the touchdown pass that won the game. 22
