Page 17 text:

Our American heritage is closely allied with England. The spirit of this land is found in the large English Room. It recreates the Shakespearian Age with an atmosphere of poetic and parliamentary distinction. The room is designed to be harmonious with the House of Commons. Gifts from Commons to Pitt of original materials from the old House form the heart of the room. Their craftsmanship and obvious historical value make this room one of the most authentic of English culture on any campus in America. Two portraits are pictured. One is of William Pitt, “the Great Commoner” and First Earl of Chatham. “Friend of the colonists. His name the City and the University share.” The other portrait is of Andrew W. Mellon, Class of 1873; Secretary of the Treasury, 1921-1932; U. S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James, 1932-1933; and benefactor of the University. One outstanding feature is the window bay. Set in moulded limestone, ancient tinted window-glass encased in lead is emblazoned with six crests of Oxford, Cambridge, and the Houses of Lords and Commons, adding a dignified richness to the honey-colored woodwork. These stained-glass medallions and the old brick from No. 10 Downing Street placed by the English-speaking Union are symbols that demonstrate our unity with England and her precepts from which we have received so very much. 5
