% ' :l THE WORLD TIT A TRIBUTE TO A UNIVERSITY DEDICATED TO TRAINING STUDENTS NOT ONLY FOR A NATION, BUT FOR A WORLD “We all realize that communications, transportation, and war have brought the world closer together. Some have had optimistic faith that closer relations might mean better relations. There is now a growing conviction that proximity will become an increasing menace to humanity unless we can in some wa bring about a better cultural understanding between the citizens ot different nations.’ Dr. Rufus 11.

DEDICATION DR. RUFUS H. FITZGERALD, CHANCELLOR The Owl Start of 1955 dedicates this record of the academic and social world at the University of Pittsburgh to Dr. Rufus H. Fitzgerald in grateful recognition of his leadership and wisdom. During his ten years as chancellor, Dr. Fitzgerald initiated many vital advances to the University’s reputation in national affairs. Besides his great task of improving every segment of the University’s world, Dr. Fitzgerald has maintained a direct contact with students and has made their welfare his primary interest. In providing his students with the most progressive methods of obtaining a better education, Dr. Fitzgerald has strengthened their capabilities for creating a better place for themselves in the future. His retirement fills us with a deeplv-felt regret which is hardly expressive of the University’s great loss. A phrase originating at the University of Iowa, where Chancellor Fitzgerald taught for many years before coming to Pitt in 1938, expresses our feeling: “It is difficult to realize that he is leaving. Even so, what can be said except, ‘Thanks, Rufus II. Fitzgerald, for a job well done.’ ’’ We of the Owl Staff wish Dr. Fitzgerald many happy years in his retirement—years happy in a measure equal to the success he acquired so modestly as a great chancellor for our University.
