UNIVERSITY Of PITTSBURGH UBKARY IjitivcTxi J of I'ii THE INAUGUR, The Inauguration of a New Era” suggests change. Edmund Spenser’s ever whirling wheele of change” now represents one of the principal characteristics of a free society. Societies unrcccptivc to change arc unresponsive to their constantly emerging needs. The unresponsive socictv has provided the milieu for the social, economic, and political evils which through the centuries have arisen to threaten the progress and freedom of mankind. Education is no exception. The changes in education since the founding of Pitt have completely revolutionized educational thought and practice. The problems facing higher education today will undoubtedly mean more educational revolutions in the years ahead. Problems will press upon us in quick succession and meeting them will he the order of the day. More change will inevitably result. 9 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 2 THE YEAR 16 GREEKS 76 Fraternity Sweethearts 135 ORGANIZATIONS 150 Ilonoraries 181 Religion 203 Student Government 217 Fine Arts 239 Publications 255 ATHLETICS 266 CLASSES 300 Business Administration 303 The College 311 Dentistry 321 Education 327 Engineering and Mines 335 Nursing 345 Pharmacy 349 i Retailing 353 ADVERTISING 358 Index 385 | riON OF A NEW ERA The changes of a New Era ’ do not mean an abandonment of all that the past has given us. There are deep and basic values to which we cling tenaciously. Pitt has much in its background which makes us proud. The foundations have been well laid; the New Era” provides an opportunity for creative thinking and development on these foundations. Pitt is faced with the same problems which confront most, if not all. of the colleges and universities of the country. But Pitt will do more than adapt to its environmental problems. Pitt has an opportunity which few institutions have because Pitt has new and exciting educational objectives. First, the trustees, faculty, and administration arc working together to provide America with another university of first rank. This is a deliberate and calculated effort to advance Pitt to the forefront of American Education. Second, Pitt must offer specialized programs which will be needed in a variety of areas but are not now available. Finally, we must endeavor to create a more closely integrated institution in which the disciplines supplement each other, undergird the professions and support rigorous graduate training in both professional and research areas. Through the decades, stability and change have marched side by side in our universities thereby providing the means for our rich intellectual heritage to be utilized in the development of an educated people. By remembering constantly that the universe is change,” we will continue to enrich this intellectual heritage and widen and deepen our dimensions of learning. These are the goals of the New Era.” Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield 3 DEDICATION THE FACULTY... CORNERSTONE OF A GREAT UNIVERSITY Many thing arc necessary for the functioning of a modern university. Buildings, books, equipment, students—all are intricate parts of the mechanisms that constantly turn in the processes of education. Yet, integral to the whole scheme of a university is its faculty. Gathered together in the several buildings of this University are men who bring knowledge of all lands, of all languages, of all times. Gathered together are men who bring a record of achievement in every field. The lecturer freshmen hear at eight-thirty every morning is the author of a comprehensive world history; the professor at the head of the round table in the Polish room has been honored in the court of Spain and throughout Latin America; the teacher of Shakespeare scholars listens intently to a sophomore's halting attempt to define his interpretation; the jovial man leaning on the lecturn has seen his by-line above the biggest news stories of his time. . . . It is to these men—the faculty—all of whom have achieved, some of whom have known fame, that this book is dedicated. For these men the desire to learn has never ceased. The inscription above the iron gates to the Commons Room is as true of these teachers as it is of the students who come to be taught by them. Here is eternal spring; for you the very stars of heaven arc new.” 4 TRUSTEES ... MEN WITH VISION SKATED IN FRONTi The Hon. Sara M. Soffel, William P. Snyder, Jr., Edward H. IJtchfield, Dixon C.

Industrialist, philanthropist, military leader—all of these terms are applicable to Alan Scaifc. But above all of these is one word that most typifies this man— Pittsburgher. It is because of his intense love for his native Pittsburgh and its people that he has worked so hard to raise the stature of Pitt, which is an integral part of the community. Included in the charter of the Western University of Pennsylvania was the following sentence: . . . the happiness and prosperity of every Community (under the direction of Divine Providence) depend greatly on the proper education of youth.” No one group of people has so completely taken this sentence to heart and has striven more arduously for the proper education of the youth of their city than the men who have been trustees of this University. Who arc these men? Their names arc instantly recognized by Pittsburghers. Names like Mellon, Scaife, Falk. McKenna. Follansbcc have long been synonymous with the name of Pittsburgh. Most of these men grew up with this city, and then helped it grow to be the industrial capital of the world. Their professions are varied: law. medicine, banking, the ministry, education, and industry. A list of the companies they direct is a cross-section of Pittsburgh industry. These men have known that an industrial community needs an abundance of trained leaders. Thus they have educated engineers, labor relations men, accountants, lawyers. And, because the trustees of the University of Pittsburgh have lived in this city, as well as worked here, they have set their sights beyond the city’s economic interests to encompass the cultural needs of its people. They have worked to improve and enlarge the University; they have envisioned an institution equal to the best in the world. To help achieve this goal they have provided the University with the best physical and administrative material they could obtain. They sensed the greatness of John Gabbcrt Bowman’s vision of a Cathedral of learning and cast it in stone. They brought his aide successors, Rufus II. Fitzgerald, and now, Edward H. Litchfield, to advance their grand design. Toward this end. they have provided these educators with almost unlimited financial support. They have been able to do this because of their assurance that the people of Pittsburgh will hack them. To men who have seen the citizens and corporations of their city finish building their University in the midst of the depression no undertaking seems too ambitious. 7 The Administrative Committee met every two weeks in the Chancellor's office for luncheon and business. Left to right: Elvis J. Stalir, vice chancellor—the professions; Robert A. Moore, vice chancellor—the health professions; Alan C. Rankin, executive assistant to the chancellor; Stanton C. Crawford, dean of the faculties, secretary of the University, and secretary of the Board of Trustees; Chancellor ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE... TO Foremost among those behind the University of Pittsburgh’s rapid rise in the field of education are nine men— the Administrative Committee of the University. It is the duty of these men to assure a successful culmination to the era” that is now beginning—to achieve the visions of the school's founders. Heading this group is Dr. Edward II. Litchfield, newly appointed Chancellor of the University. In his effort to place Pitt among the nation's top schools Dr. Litchfield has completely reorganized the administrative set-up. Formerly, each department of the University would send its representative directly to the Chancellor who had to fit meetings with each of them into his busy schedule. This was declared impractical. It was decided that a system requiring only eight or nine men to report their findings to the Chancellor would lie better than a method requiring forty-five or fifty separate reports. By lowering the number of reports, the Chancellor would be able to spend more time with each representative and more fully discuss his problems. However, this meant that each representative would have to he a highly learned and skilled person—he would have to have a thorough and intense knowledge of several related fields. For instance, the vice chancellor of the health professions has to be able to know and comprehend the problems encountered in the schools of dentistry, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and the Graduate School of Public Health. In addition, he must take care of all problems pertaining to Falk Clinic, the nurses residence, and Western Psychiatric Institute ami Clinic. Men capable of such formidable tasks are a relatively rare commodity. Nevertheless, Chancellor Litchfield has thus far managed to fill all but one of these positions. Dr. Robert A. Moore has been named vice chancellor of the health professions.The position of secretary of the University and dean of the faculties has been awarded to Dr. Stanton C. Crawford, former dean of the College. Dr. 8 Edwird 11. Litchfield; alter V. ieh, i? istanl chancellor—h k M'ww nfftttv. .WheelV..Na VWwo, m vs vA cWtcAVn a mw a v development; Charlci B.

In the foreground Pitt’s Graduate School of Public Health, still under construction, is surrounded by DeSoto Hall, Nurse’s Residence, Children’s Hospital, Presbyterian Hospital, School of Health Professions, and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. PITT TAKES ON NEW DIMENSIONS One hundred and seventy years ago the people of Pittsburgh embarked upon a New Era”—an era dedicated to providing higher education to the people of the Pittsburgh district. The first efforts of these early settlers led by Hugh Henry Brackcnridgc was the founding of the log Academy in the Pittsburgh of 1787. This was the beginning—the start of the era. From the Academy has evolved the University we know today. But it wasn’t that simple. In the 1790’s a new Academy, a two-story brick building, was erected next to the log house on the lot at Third ami Cherry Alley. Then, by 1819, another kind of expansion became necessary. Academy-trained men had to go away from Pittsburgh to universities in the East to continue their educations. The city, now numbering 7,000 people, sought and received in 10 February, 1819, the charter of the Western University of Pennsylvania. Twice the University was destroyed by fire, in 1845 and again in 1849. and each time the people of Pittsburgh rallied to its aid and rebuilt it. When it outgrew its few buildings in Old Allegheny, the University was moved hack across the river to a pasture in Oakland where, in 1908. it became the University of Pittsburgh. In the 1920's and 1930’s the citizens of this industrial community were again called upon to aid their University. The nearly ten thousand students enrolled in 1924 and the certainty of increasing enrollment showed a need for expansion. The University’s Chancellor, John Gabbcrt Bowman, convinced the people of Pittsburgh that new buildings must provide, in addition to space, beauty and performance worth) of a great university. Thus, a Gothic skyscraper -which was as revolutionary to architecture as to education was designed. The people and corpora-tions of this community donated over eight-million dollars much of n in the midst of this country’s severest depression to build the beautiful Cathedral of Learning. I his. the) thought, would satisfy the educational needs of the district for many future years. The Cathedral of Learning is not a revolution hut a conclusion,” stated the 1929 Owl. But it wasn t a conclusion. It was just another step, although a very large step, in the continuation of the era that had started 140 years before. In the past few years the need for physical expansion has again become evident. .New buildings, particularly to house students of the medical professions, have sprung up all over the Oakland campus. Just this year two new buildings—George Iiuhhard Clapp Hall and The School of Health Professions—have opened their doors to students for the first time and the Graduate School of Public Health is under construction. In conjunction with this constructional expansion the University has acquired other valuable property through purchases and gifts. Among the purchases are the luxurious Schenley Hotel and Apartments. 1 he hotel, serving {continued on page 11) Parking ban always been a campus problem. With the construction of multi-floor parking garages in the near future tbe problem will be solved. However, tbe situation was lessened this year with the opening of the new faculty parking lot (above). Pitt students in the new ScIukjI of the Health Professions didn’t have to worry about cutching an elevator; they used escalators. II Students hold last minute conversation before entering Clnj p Mall for first hour class. Children of Pitt alumni, faculty, and administration had many afternoons of fun at the newly acquired Pitt swimming pool at Hubbard Reservation, now a part of the University Recreation Center. The Center is open to all Pitt students, alumni and faculty. The peace and quiet of Summer surround Hubbard Reservation. The Reservation building (altove) will be used as a country club when remodeling is done. The first room open to student use in the newly acquired Schenley Hotel was the Hunt Room. Here students gathered for small talk” and light snacks. With the opening of George Hubbard Clapp Hall—new home for the natural sciences—a new path, down Fifth Avenue walk, across the street, past Masonic Temple, to Clapp Hall, was tread by many students. Students of the natural sciences attended many lectures in Clapp Hall’s Spacious auditorium. as a student union, will house the Deans of Men and Women and most of the student activities. The apartments will provide living space for 1200 students, including a proposed sorority and fraternity row. Another recent accpiisition was the Ilubbard Reservation in North Park which will be used for student indoor and outdoor recreational and athletic events and for nature and scientific class studies. All of this physical expansion is a necessary part of the continuation of the era that began with the Pittsburgh Academy; but Pitt is also expanding in other ways. Leading Pitt into this New Era” of many-fold expansion is Dr. Edward H. Litchfield, newly appointed chancellor of the University. Chancellor Litchfield has been allocated more than one-hundred million dollars of working capital to reorganize Pitt’s educational system and eventually place Pitt among the foremost universities of the world. Chancellor Litchfield has concentrated his efforts on the University as a whole and on each of the various departments within the University in his efforts to achieve this goal. Salaries of all faculty members have been raised to keep top men from migrating to greener pastures and also to lure men of proven ability in all fields to Pitt. Entrance exams have been stiffened to make the caliber of the average Pitt student much higher than it has been in the past. This, along with the greater influx of students from outside the Pittsburgh area now that adequate dormitory space is available, will give us a more cosmopolitan student; a student fitted for leadership in a smaller world. New fields of study, such as the training of men for governmental work, the department of Far Eastern Studies, and courses in television techniques have cut across subject areas. A common core of knowledge is needed by both the engineer and the liberal arts student. Dr. Litchfield himself has said: The tendency in most universities is toward autonomy in the various colleges, such as engineering, law, arts, and so on. I want Pitt to be an organic whole, a university in the older sense, with joint faculty appointments, so that the student’s education is a rounded one.' This physical and educational expansion is not a new policy at Pitt. It is just another example of a dynamic new administration continuing the work outlined by its predecessors and interjecting new ideas along with the old. In this way the university has avoided the one pit fall that most great nations and institutions of the past fell victim to—stagnation. Since its beginning in 1787 Pitt’s administrators have worked to bring its founder’s hopes to fulfillment. Several times during this long span of years there were opportunities to relax their efforts and to gaze contentedly upon the results of their labors. Especially was this true after the completion of the Cathedral of Learning. But, fortunately, each new administration, perhaps thinking of decadent Greece and Rome, chose to look to the future rather than to any Golden Age of the past. Each new administration strove for a goal they knew could never be attained— perfection in education—and in striving, gained a large measure of that goal. In May of this year a new administration headed by Dr. Litchfield will officially be inaugurated as the leaders of the University. Although the ceremonies will be impressive and great men in all fields of learning will watch the Inauguration with utmost interest, it will be in a sense anti-climactic. The Inauguration will take place more than a year after the administration has begun its job—the job of continuing the era that started 170 years ago. Dr. Jonas Salk, victorious in his battle against polio, brought world recognition to Pitt's Medical School. His future in the field of medicine promises to brighten Pitt's New Era. 14 Pitt’s Nursing School moved to n new location last Fall when it, along with the Medical, Pharmacy, and Dental Schools, moved into the School of the Health Professions. The picture shows the fourth floor which will be used for Nursing labs, seminar rooms, offices, and lecture halls. Looking to the South over the University of Pittsburgh campus, from a helicopter, one can see the sweeping scope of a growing University. hirst one sees, scanning from left to right, the Cathedral of Learning, the newly acquired Schenley Hotel (Student Union) and Apart-ments (to be used as dormitories), and the upper campus, consisting of the Engineering, Medical, and Athletic Centers (Pitt Stadium far right). )5 THE YEAR TO INAUGURATE AN ERA...

As usual, registration—with its endless lines and constant confusion—dominated the first week hack. But endless lines did end—only to lead to the hook store and a mass crowding that defied even the formation of lines. 'flic Tuck Shops were open during registration week, ami many students who grew tired of constantly bucking lines and tracking down class cards took advantage of the opportunity to cool off with a coke and find out how the Yanks and Dodgers were doing in the Series. With registration over and most of the needed hooks already purchased, a large segment of the mre � ign that ol. ea returned waa a «cllo„. crowd in .he book More. A pert smite, u push of the button, ami another picture was taken for a student identification Card at registration. Dave Bender, president of Student Congress, cut the ribbon, opening the Hunt and Pines rooms of the new Student Union (Schenley Hotel). V typical scene at registration for all Pitt students was tlie picking up of class cards and registration kits. Fall drill for R.O.T.C. cadets was witnessed I many students from the University lawns. • nr ■ The 207 freshmen present at the twenty-fifth annual Freshman Camp formed a friendship circle before leaving camp, vowing to work together for the University. The College freshmen were victorious in the annual tug-of-war ut Camp kon-O-Kwee. FRESHMEN LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER AT CAMP Prior to the opening of school a group of 207 freshman men went to Camp Kon-O-Kwec for a three day session of fun and instruction. The average newcomer to the University feels uneasy and lonely luring his first few weeks on campus. This, | crhaps, is a result of the University’s size and its foreboding style of Cothic architecture, complete with narrow windows and dark corridors. In time, of course,the freshman becomes acclimated to his surroundings and adjusts into an active, happy student. For the men who have the opportunity of attending Freshman Camp, however, this adjustment period is by-passed. In the course of the three days they met many of their fellow students as well as faculty members and upper-class student leaders with whom they would soon be working. They learned Pitt's traditions and status as an institution of higher education. They learned how cooperation is a vital part of any university. Nicy learned to sing the Alma Mater—and to sing it with pride and meaning. Kay Bees reaches for the Fresh man (.amp trophy awarded lo I he freshmen in the School of Business Administration.

This skit hel| ed the “bus ads” pile up points toward the camp trophy. 23 LANTERN NIGHT, CARITAS, PANHEL... TRADITIONS Two weeks after the beginning of school freshman women were officially initiated into the University at Lantern Night, the first of many traditions they will participate in during the next four years. At the colorful ceremony performed in the Commons Room, 239 women, attired completely in white, held their lanterns of truth before them so they could more readily follow “the inner light of Truth.” They were now a part of the University and ready to meet the wonders and challenges that awaited them. Before October was completed the freshman women also participated in two other traditional events—Caritas and the Panhellenic Party. Caritas is a ceremony given each year in honor of the freshmen and their senior mentors. It strives to impress the importance and value of certain things—such as charity and kindness— that will aid the women in their college lives. The Panhellenic Party introduces them to sorority life at the University. Alice Ratsafanas played Pocahontas in the Caritas ceremony in Heinz Chapel sponsored by Y.W.C.A. Pill sororities entertained freshman women and their senior mentors at the annual Panhellenic Party in Stephen Foster Memorial. Carrie Misner (Voice of Caritas) and Charlotte Overly (Marcissa hitman) appeared in Caritas presented annually by the women of Pitt as a symbol of faith, hope, and love. Caritas expresses the hardships and accomplishments of women throughout the uges. The Panhellenic Choir consisting of three members from each sorority sang for the freshman women. “By this flame w ithin my hand, I pledge my word. O Alma Mater, to seek, both for myself and for those who follow me, the inner light of Truth.' With this pledge, given in the Commons Booms, 239 freshman women of the Class of 1960 were officially inducted into University life. 24 PrcM'lent Dwight D. Eisenhower spoke at Hunt Armory.

Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady, started the parade. Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to a primarily student audience in the Carnegie Lecture Hall. Following in the footsteps of the gracious Mrs. Roosevelt were ex-Presidcnt Harry S. Truman, complete with his repertoire of “give ’em hell” speeches.

Litchfield and other I’itt officials. DR. LITCHFIELD MEETS PARENTS OF FRESHMEN Have Bender, president of Student Congress, was one of the IT.i student aides in attendance at the Chancellor's Reception to assist parents and to interpret to them the meaning of the University. Freshman Camp, Lantern Night, and the other various programs intended to acclimate freshmen to college life had practically accomplished their aims by the ninth of November. One more group, however, had to he shown what a university education consisted of and how it should he attained—the parents. At the annual Chancellor's Reception held in the Commons Room parents of Pitt freshmen met the officials and faculty of the University and also learned what would be expected of their sons and daughters during the next four years. They were told that tlie fundamental purpose of an education is not to produce specialists in various fields, but to give each student a good, general foundation upon which he can build throughout his life. After meeting the Chancellor, the parents toured the University and met with student leaders who acted as aides for the occasion. The Men Glee Club under the direction of David Wei sang for the parent and friend of I’itt freshman Students. 28 Light refreshment were served in the Commons Boom a University personnel met the parent . Chimcdlor Edward II. Litchfield spoke on the present statu of the University and the future plans for Pitt, including many details about the new expansion program. Helen P. Hush, dean of Women, and Chancellor Litchfield were a part of the reception line that extended handshakes and greetings to the parents of Pitt fresh men. Parents were permitted to tour the University libraries. Above, parents arc shown browsing in the sixth floor Alldred Hoorn. It was a long evening for Pitt aides.

HOMECOMING HIGHLIGHTS FALL SEMESTER “Three Blind Mice,” the efforts of Sipnu Chi and Alpha Delta Pi took first place honors in the Float Parade, theme of which was nursery rhymes. 30 The quiet that settled over the campus after the presidential election could aptly be called the “calm before the storm”—with the storm being Homecoming Weekend, the social highlight of the F'all semester. Mother Goose held sway as the Homecoming was officially opened on Friday afternoon, the sixteenth of November. Then, the floats and fronts which every fraternity and sorority had been working on so diligently for several weeks were put on display. An overflow crowd of students and interested spectators—including Mayor David L. Lawrence—viewed the parade of nursery rhyme characters. Sigma Chi and Alpha Delta Pi combined to build the winning float featuring the famed “Three Blind Mice.” Finishing closely behind the “trio of sightless rodents” was Delta Delta Delta and Delta Sigma Phi’s elaborate portrayal of “Old King Cole.” A huge bonfire was scheduled to highlight the pep rally Friday night, but it was prematurely set off and the rally—complete with refreshments and dancing—took place in the cafeteria. Awards for best house fronts were given to Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Chi to cap the evening of entertainment. Saturday dawned cold and clear -a perfect day (continued on page 34) The judge! of llic Float Parade, headed by Mayor David L. Law rence (third from left), were improved with llic lloat creations of Pitt's sonorities and fraternities. Second place honors in the Float Puradc went to Delta Sigma Phi and Della Delta Delta for “Old King Cole.” A Pitt student disguised as the traditional Army mule had his place in the parade, too. It reminded students of the Pitt-Army, Home coming football game the next day. Delta Tau Delta fraternity took second place in house fronts with “Hub a Dub Dub.” 31 'Hie best fraternity bouse front was Sigtnn Chis. The Sigs carried out the theme ‘‘Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe.” A) The Sigma Chi? really whooped it up at the “Dungeon Drag,” when it was announced that they had the best house front and the best float among the fraternities. Jt wto a hnppv Homecoming for Pitt Alumni, for beside renewing acquaintances, they watched the mighty Panthers down Army, 20-7. Pictured below i Corny Sulvntcrra'a touchdown run in the second quarter of play. 1200 prcriftinn marching West Point cadets thrilled 56,000 fans before the start of the Pilt-Arniy, Homecoming game. It was a big night at the ‘'‘Dungeon Drag” for the Alpha Delta Pis. Along with their cohorts. Sigma Chi. they won first place honors in the Float Parade and had the best house front among the sororities. After marching hours the West Point cadet enjoyed an evening of dancing as guests of Pitt students in the Commons Room. 'Hie University cafeteria was turned into a crowded dance floor the night of the “Dungeon Drag.” r The crowning moment during Homecoming was the selection of the Queen. Above, Sally Johnson sponsored by Delta Tau Delta fraternity walks to the center of the field. Moments later it was announced that she was the Homecoming Queen. Joe E. Brown was on hand to help Dolly McCabe, queen candidate of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, off with her coat before half-time ceremonies. Sally Johnson w as crowned by last year's Homecoming Queen, Eleanor I eslie. for a football game, and Army made a perfect opponent. Twelve hundred cadets accompanied the Black Knights to Pittsburgh, and the precision and flowing power of their marching awed the 56,000 heavily bundled spectators. The game was typical of those the Panthers played throughout the year—they started slowly and gained momentum as the game progressed. The cadets struck first, and carried a one point lead into the dressing room with them as the halftime ceremonies began. The performance of the fast-stepping Pitt band at half-time proved once more that they arc second to none—but even old band alumni had to admit that the spotlight wasn’t focused on the musicians but on the vivacious Sally Johnson. Sally, representing Delta Tau Delta, was crowned Homecoming Queen of 1956 to conclude the ceremonies. In the second half the Panthers played the type of ball everyone predicted they were capable of playing. The final score read 20-7, in favor of the Blue and Gold. Open houses all over the campus followed the game and a formal dance in the Commons Room featuring the music of Benny Benack and the West Point Glee Club rounded out the weekend of entertainment. By twelve o’clock the last cadet had arrived at the depot to board the waiting train, and Homecoming 1956 was a thing of the past. 34 Peak moments of excitement in the crowning of Sally Johnson, Homecoming Queen, are recorded here. Above, Sally appears stunned when her name was announced to the 56,000 fans. Below, Sally watches Eleanor Leslie approach with the crown. Barbara Hoffman give u� a hint as to what the popular dance will he in 1984. She is shown doing the “Spider Dance,” perhaps to prove the woman i the more deadly of the two species. 36 Comparing life in 1956 to 198-1, Harriet Laby and Sandra Johnston debated the values of romanticism today versus possible objectivity 28 years hence. BEAUX ARTS—LIFE IN 1956 AND 1984 From November 1956 to November 1984 is quite a jump—but thanks to Beaux Arts, freshman women at Pitt made the rapid transition and decided which of the two dates most suited their fancy. The theme of the annual Beaux Arts show was Pitt-1984- and the narrator was Edward R. Tomorrow, the star of “See it Then.” Members of various fine arts organizations at Pitt portrayed scenes that are common place now and scenes that represented college life 28-years hence. Members of Pitt Players presented scenes from “Picnic,” representing 1956, and “Possums Universal Robots,” representing the future; Men's Quartet sang present day and future songs; and members of Pitt dance groups did interpretations of modern and future dances. A debate between Sandy Johnston and Harriet Laby on the merits of each era concluded the events—and we returned to Pitt and the waning year 1956. Members of Pitt dance groups portrayed the art of dance in 1956 with their version of Slaughter on Tenth Avenue,” a skit based on the jazz era. Edward K. Tomorrow (Harry McConnell), moderator of “See It Then,” wove the theme Pitt—1984 throughout the Beaux Arts song-danec-spccch fete based on George Orwell’s satirical novel. 1981. 37 FINE ARTS- VALUABLE PHASE OF GENERAL EDUCATION PLAN “Next to Knglish, I feel that the fine arts are the most valuable phase of the general education plan that we follow today.” Professor Walter R. Hovey, the head of the Henry (day Frick’s Fine Arts Department, went on to support this statement by |M inting out that the history of art establishes within itself a relationship with philosophy, mathematics, religion, psychology, science, and almost every other branch of learning. The Fine Arts Department, located on the seventh floor, contains one of the most complete fine arts libraries in the nation. The exhibition gallery presents a new show every month. During the year the gallery presented, among others, a national ceramic exhibition, a presentation of stage designs by Donald Ocn-slager. New York’s foremost theatrical set designer, a combined show of poetry and painting, and a review of Chinese and Kuropean handwriting. Students took an active part in the exhibitions, too. nnual student art and photography shows displayed the talents of Pitt’s student body. The department is fortunate to have Virgil Cantini. nationally known artist, as an instructor. In Mr. Cantini’s classes the students are not so much trained to he artists us they are led to develop an understanding of art. A student stops to look at the selection from the Chinese ceramic collection owned by Professor Walter Head Hovey, on view in the foyer of the seventh floor. Artist Virgil Cant ini and a student, Joan Hirsh, work in the studio in the drawing and painting course. 38 Above students are seen in the reading room of the fine arts library on the seventh floor. The. library contains 26,000 volumes, 23,000 slide , and 60,000 photographs of work of urt from nil times. The February exhibition displayed in the fine arts gallery was the work of Abbott Pattison, contemporary American sculptor. This exhibition was organized and installed by the fine arts honor majors. SNOW BLANKETS CAMPUS-AND TWAS CHRISTMAS Each year at Christinas the student nurses at Pitt gather on the spiral stairway and around their eighteen foot Christmas tree in the lobby of their residence to sing medleys of carols for their families and friends. The Saturday before Christina is a day that many children of Pitt alumni, faculty, and staff look forward to almost as much as the 25th. That’s the day of the annual Children's Christmas Party in Pitt's massive Commons Room, when the small fry cut loose in those otherwise dignified surroundings. Here a few of the children react differently toward Santa Claus. Midway through December the unustlally warm winter weather ended and the campus was shrouded in a blanket of white snow —and it was Christmas. To tl� e outside world, the University looks like a serene place devoid of any activity during the Christmas season. The huge cross on the Cathedral, the lighted stained-glass windows of Hein . Chapel, the rolling, snow-covered Cathedral lawn— all give the appearance of quiet and calm. This was not the case, however. As usual, the University was the center of bustling activity, just as it is throughout the year. Inside the Cathedral the spirit of Christmas prevailed. The Commons Room was decorated with Christmas trees and yule logs blazed away in the huge fireplaces. The organ continually played Christmas songs, and students gathered to sing carols throughout the final week of school. Other parts of the Cathedral were given festive decorations too. The Nationality Rooms were all decorated, each one depicting aspects of Christmas in the various countries they represented. The Deans of Men and Women completely decorated the eighth and twelfth floors, and several other organizations added festive touches to their offices. The annual Christmas Commons Room Ball, featuring the music of Baron Elliot and members of the Heinz Cha| cl Choir officially opened the social aspects of the holiday. The Men’s Glee Club and Women’s Choral presented their third annual Christmas Concert in the Foster Memorial, and many organizations sponsored Christmas parties. But Christmas meant more at Pitt than fun and gaiety—it was also a time to think of others less fortunate than us. Consequently, many groups held parties for and gave gifts to the poor children of the area and to orphans from nearby orphanages. Other students went throughout the Oakland district caroling and raising the spirits of all who heard them. The last minute shoppers finished their chores, and it was Christmas Eve—and the University was for once as serene as it actually appeared. A quiet seemed to encompass the whole Oakland area—the icy streets were cold and barren. Only the hells in St. Paul’s Cathedral broke the silence, tolling carols through the night. Churches began to fill for midnight services, and organ music and singing drifted out of their open floors. At no other time docs the Oakland distriet appear so at rest, so peaceful—and keeping watch over the whole scene was the Cathedral, with its four white crosses seemingly suspended in the heavens. 41 1 % Couples pause after the Christinas Ball to look at the decorative Christmas tree on Lily Court. A similar tree was also displayed on Bigelow Court. Sigma Chi and Zeta Tan Alpha were among the many fraternities and sororities to hold a Christmas party for children in various communities. Bob Roe- Students stretched and awed but in the end most came up with popcorn balls thrown down from the balcony of the Commons Room during the annual Christinas party. 42 borough of Sigma Chi appear l hr a good Santa to the children of Stephen Fowler Community Center in Lawrenceville.

It was a cold, cold winter hut a beautiful one on the Pitt campus. The picture at the right was taken looking down Varsity Walk from the Cathedral. 44 GREEK WEEK-FUN AND REVELRY- OPEN TO ALL Less than a week after Christmas vacation ended the Greek element on campus lifted the lid on the fifth annual Greek Week. This affair strives to promote a better relationship between all sororities and fraternities on campus and to strengthen their bonds through a fresh realization of the interdependence of all groups. The theme of this year’s Greek Week was comic strip characters, and for a full week Peanuts, Gordo, Dick Tracy, etc., held full sway over the entire student body. But it was far more than just a week of fun and revelry. Fraternity and sorority leaders also heard speakers discuss “The Greek’s Role in the Future of Pitt’s Campus” and attended chapel services at the Heinz Memorial Chapel. The evenings, however, were devoted primarily to fun and no one was disappointed. Monday featured exchange dinners between the fraternities and sororities and jazz at the Delta Tau Delta and Phi Epsilon Pi houses, where combos played for the enjoyment of Greeks and non-Greeks alike. On Wednesday night the Greeks tossed eggs, broke balloons, donned potato sacks, played leapfrog, and engaged in coed basketball at their annual Fun Night. Thursday afternoon Greek chariots with elaliorate cartoon designs raced around the Schcnley Oval. The Pi Lambda-Tri Dclt vehicle won first prize for design with its theme of “Gordo,” while the Delta Tau Delta-Kappa Kappa Gamma chariot won the race. Phi Delt-Chi Omega’s “Prince Valiant” took second place in both design and speed. That same evening at Clapp Hall, fraternity men did a lot of talking at the annual I.F. Sling. 7x la Levitt of Kappa Nu won first prize with a comic situation built around the character of “L’il Abner.” Phi Gam's Jack Hammond took second place, and Don Compton of Sigma Chi came in third. Friday night the Greeks were in full voice as they took part in the Greek Sing. The sorority half of the program was won by Kappa Kappa Gamma with their rendition of “It’s a Grand Night for Singing.” The Tri-Delts and the ZTAs captured second and third place trophies respectively. In the fraternity section the Phi Eps took first place with their version of “It Might As Well Be Spring,” with Theta Chi and Delta Sigma Phi coming in second and third respectively. Following the Sing, Benny Bcnack and his orchestra played for the Greek Week dance—and as Greek Week came to an end, co-chairmen Benita Reingold and Larry Fiedler and all their staff agreed that it was worth all the effort. 46 Mary Ellen Overmier of Chi Omega seems to be in control of the hall in this situation during the “Maggie and Jigga basketball game at the Field House at Fun Night. That's I)iek Hopkins of Sigma Alpha Epsilon approaching Mary Ellen. The theme of Greek Week was comic strip characters. Dancing and soft sounds were featured at the Phi Epsilon Pi (above) and the Delta Tau Delta houses to kickoff Greek Week. The jam sessions followed exchange dinners and were open to the entire student body as were all Greek Week events. The Pi Lambda Phi team hustles between laps in the “Potato Sack Race, ' during Fun Night. Carl Slcftsiuger, chairman for T.F.

Phi Epsilon Pi, and Pi Lambda Phi. who took best design honors. Hook , book , ami more book confronted students in their last minute attempts to study for final exams. BOOKS AND STUDY MARK WEEK OF FINAL EXAMS Just before the end of the first semester the whole atmosphere of Pitt changed. Social anti athletic events ground to a halt and for a week final exams were uppermost in everyone’s mind. The University during exam week bears little resemblance to Pitt at other times of the year. The usual loud din of laughter and conversation in the tuck shops and cafeteria was reduced to a low murmur, and the students peered over the rims of their coffee cups at open textbooks instead of the morning paper. Every available space for studying—the libraries, the Commons Room, and the lounges—was filled to capacity. Glances through open classroom doors revealed students, heads bent low, writing fervently. Professors hurrying through the halls with blue test booklets became a common sight. Anywhere you went on campus you could sec and hear evidence of final exams. Serious study was mirrored by many students as they crammed in preparation for “that big one.

However. to 302 undergraduates and 158 graduate students, it marked the completion of years of hard work. February Commencement, 1957, was held indoors at the Carnegie Music Hall ami marked the first commencement presided over by Chancellor Kdward II. I.itchiirld. I)r. Ralph Bundle, under-secretary of the United Nations and the commencement speaker, received the honorary degree doctor of civil laws. I)r. Charles Ik Nutting, director of the Huhl Foundation, and Dr. Gaylord I . Ilarn-well, president of the University of Pennsylvania, received the honorary degree doctor of laws. Dr. Bundle's speech left a feeling of optimism with the graduates, as he told them that the world has never offered greater opportunity for constructive efforts as it does today.” It was wonderful to be handed that diploma, but that last look at the Cathedral did leave a lump in the throat.

Boh McCabe toured the continent. One Kite which impressed Boh was the ancient Roman Forum in Rome. Italy. EDUCATIONAL EXCHANGE-PUT STUDENTS ABROAD (Pictures on these two pages were taken by the students traveling abroad.) Sue Riddle's travels took her through Italy where she pictured the Leaning Tower of Pisa and visiter! the cathedral anil univer- sity there. The Cairn Gorin Range of the Scottish Highland? provided pleasant scenery for hiking for Paul Thomas and his companion Andrew Moore of the University of Edinburgh. kj Realizing that an exchange of ideas and thoughts between the various cultures of the world is necessary for better understanding between men, the University has founded and fostered the Educational Exchange Program. Through this program, deserving Pitt men and women arc selected for travel and study abroad. The awards arc limited to juniors, so that the recipients are able to return to Pitt during their senior year and share their experiences with the rest of the student body. The l.F. Council’s “S” Award enabled Boh McCabe to study at Oxford, and at the same time, travel throughout England. The EM ITT Award—the Engineering and M incs International Travel and Training Award—sent Paul Thomas to the Highlands of Scotland. The Student Hostess Award and the Vira Heinz Award, both given to outstanding Nationality Rooms’ Hostesses, were won by Carolyn Uoeffier and Suzanne Roche, respectively. Both travelled extensively in Europe. Two Nationality Room Committees sponsored grants; Frances Hedges, who journeyed through Scandinavia, received the Norwegian Room Award, and Sue Biddle, who spent most of her time in France and England, won the French Room Award. TRAVELED ABROAD, SUMMER OF 1956s Frances Hedges (Norwegian Room Committee Award), Paul Thomas (EMITT Award), Carolyn Locfllrr (Student Hostess Award), Susanna Riddle (French Room Committee Award), Robert McCabe (“S' Award), Suzanne Roche (Vira Heinz Award). Among the many sites that Fran Hedges trained her camera on was the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Here the guard is seen marching down Bird Cage Walk. While studying sit the University of Vienna Summer Sehool, Carolyn Ixarfllcr found the Bavarian Alps near Salzburg, Austria, and Luke St. Wolfgang “charming and beautiful. Sue Roche (right) picnicked with friends on the banks of the Rhine River, Germany. In the background is part of Western German industry. Sue spent four weeks at Alliance Franeaise, school for foreigners in France devoted to the study of the French language. 55 Educational exchange is represented in the clientbtry department in the person of John Johns, a graduate assistant front Wales. Concerning the exchange program, he said: “It offers the invaluable experience of living with people of other lands.” EXCHANGE BRINGS OTHERS TO Pin Because trade of any kind is always a two-way street, the Educational Exchange Program not only makes it possible for Pitt students to travel abroad, but it also makes provision for deserving foreign students to come to Pitt. Here they earn a degree and, more important, gain a clearer understanding of what our nation represents. They are then able to act as effective “goodwill ambassadors” upon returning to their homelands. From 62 foreign students and research fellows in 1952, the exchange population at Pitt has skyrocketed to over 180 this year. Included in this group are five faculty members and a member of the administrative staff. These students come from all parts of the globe; the group represents 40 countries. Thirty-five per cent of the foreign exchange students are undergraduates. Two factors have provided the impetus for the increase during this period. First, the University revised its policy concerning admission of undergraduates from outside the United States, and second, the School of Medicine began participation in educational exchange by appointing teaching fellows and residents and interns from abroad in the Medical Center hospitals. The students taking part in the Educational Exchange Program are recipients of a wide diversity of sponsorship. Although some finance their own studies, many are sponsored by grants from their own governments, from foundations, from various church groups and private organizations, and from the United States government. Narcc Kochanapurananda, Thailand's representative to the Pitt Nursing School, is sponsored by a grant from the Thai Embassy in Washington. When asked if people have trouble with her name, she smiled ami replied: “Not at all. Everyone just calls me Naree. Adriana Rossi, u graduate student in political science from Argentina, is the recipient of a maintenance award from the Pennsylvania Federation of Business and Professional Women. She plaits to enter the foreign sendee of her country upon completion of her studies. The only thing that Raja Chelliah, graduate student in economics, finds Pitt lacking in is a “campus life.” Otherwise the Indian awardee of a full United States government grant feels Pitt compares favorably with any university in the world. Although she and her husband were eligible for scholarship aid from their nation, Israel, Mrs. Zvi Miriam Wcstrcich, a straight “A” student in the college, refused the grant. “We are able to support ourselves by working, and feel the money can be used to help someone else. 'Hie year 1957 found many dance favorite of Pitt student . Louis Levinson and Es Luterman “jump to the jitterbug at the Creek Week dance. Benny Benack and bis dance band supplied the music for two Pitt dauces this year, the Homecoming Week dance and the Creek Week dance. STUDENTS DANCE, JUMP TO MANY TUNES Every dance of the school year hail its bunnyhop, from the Kickoff dance (above) to the Spring Formal. 58 Throughout the school year, students at Pitt were attending dances’ as often as excuses could he thought up to hold them. It started when the beginning of the football season warranted a Kickoff dance, an informal gathering with disc jockey Art Palian spinning records. Fraternities anil sororities put their Hellenic heads together and came up with the Greek Week dance that featured Benny Benack and his group. At the Heart Hop a queen was crowned, and at the Military Ball, complete with reception line, another coed was coronated. No matter what the name was, all the dances resulted in the same type of situations and problems. First, and foremost, who to take? Whether the Sadie Hawkins style Heart Hop or the saner boy-ask-girl affairs, there was still the telephone call, the “I wondered if you weren’t doing anything Friday night, if . . or sometimes, desperately, the “Now wait a minute, before you do me any favors; just what docs she look like? . . And of course, the last minute rushing to get dressed, whether jeans, a tux, hr skirt and sweater, and the familiar, “Dad, I’d like you to meet . . But when even the suavest had to laugh at the bunnyhop. and everyone stopped to watch one talented couple “jump,” and the music mellowed and every couple was suddenly alone, all the trouble was worth it and “I really had fun . . meant something. A waltz was more to the liking of Aline Chuuvin and Tom Shepard at the Heart Hop held in Carnegie Music Hall. The matnbo had its popularity, too, as evidenced here by Joan Bail and Herb Kriivitz. Kay Koelsch and Angelo Mnnola preferred the Cha-Cha. Jenny Hoffman and Paul Groff enjoyed the samba. Ann Greenlee (left).

More than 25,000 members of the University family were eligible for free polio shots. Some took the shots by gritting teeth. . . PITT MEDICAL FUTURE SECOND TO NONE The widespread publicity given the Salk polio vaccine made the nation acutely aware of a fact that the medical profession has known for several years—the University of Pittsburgh's Medical School and research facilities arc-second to none. The importance of the discovery drew medical and new smen from all over the world to Pittsburgh, and what they saw amazed them. Within a four block area they saw twenty-four buildings—including eight hospitals—valued at more than one-hundred million dollars all working to free the world of sickness and disease. Within these buildings approximately 170.000 patients are treated annually and hundreds of skilled researchers are working to find new ways of eliminating disease. Also located within these buildings are educational and laboratory facilities for all of the health professions taught at the University. The men who came to observe the new vaccine soor realized that this was just a small part of the University ? health program. Men equally talented as Dr. Jonas E. Salk were busy working on cures for cancer, heart ailments, mental health, and several other important projects. These men worked tirelessly in relative obscurity using the best equipment and materials that money could obtain in an effort to accomplish their aims. It s because of men such as these that the University’s Medical Center has grown and continues growing at such a rapid pace. It. more than any other school within the University, typifies the much heralded “New Era at Pitt.

The awardees are chosen hy theOic Hall of Fame Committee, consisting of six junior men, six junior women, six members of the faculty, and one representative each from the Dean of Men’s and Dean of Women's office. From their observation of the senior class, the committee selected those that they fell best represent the class, and who will leave a lasting impression in the minds of the student body.

PITT Each year the Old sees fit to select from the graduating class a man and a woman student to bear the titles Mr. and Miss Pitt. In the estimation of the Oul, these two students typify the ideals that a student may develop who finds a keen interest in working for his school and with his fellow classmates. Mr. and Miss Pitt arc two students among many w ho have completed 16 years of learning-learning which is like a river. At its first rising a river is small and easily viewed, hut as it flow onward it increases in breadth and depth, being fed by a thousand smaller streams (lowing into it on either side, until at length it pours its mighty torrent into the ocean.

Trower MISS PITT years and specifically here at Pitt during the last four years did not just stop with the textbook and class lecture but extended itself into various activities which brought about close friendships. Life has many turning [ oints, and we graduating seniors are at such a turning point now. Whatever the future may hold in store for us, we can always look back, however, to our years at Pitt— to years that were filled with friendships, accomplishments, and learning. This year of those among us, the Old has singled out Mark M. Kubcnstcin (pre-medical, psychology major) and Cecelia M. Trower (elementary education major), who through their abilities, interests, and developments have shown themselves worthy of the titles Mr. and Miss Pitt. They exemplify what we believe Pitt has attempted to generate in us—personality, leadership, and humanity. CECELIA M. TROWER . . .

MISSOWLETTE OF 1957 LOIS COSS owl’s choice of campus beauty Just as Mr. Shakespeare described “a rose -by any other name,” a pretty girl by any title is still a pretty girl. Fraternity Sweetheart, Military Ball Queen, Homecoming, Queen, ami all the other awards bestowed on the fairest of the fair sex at Pitt have convinced the Oui that it, too. should pay homage to a representative of beauty on campus. For this purpose the Oul selects from the coed ranks one girl it considers typical of all the pretty girls and dubs her ’’Miss Owlette.” For 1957 she is an 18 year old blonde, blue-eyed freshman named I-ois Coss. She is of Swedish descent, and like the current crop of Swedish beauties, she is tall, well-construe ted, and loaded with sex-appeal. To her, the ideal man should have “personality in preference to looks, ambition, and a good sense of humor.” 73 “Morning at seven; The hillside's dew-pearled; “The lark' on the wing; The snail on the thorn: 74 YEAR'S AT THE SPRING ; THE END, A BEGINNING The cold, gray, dampness of winter gradually subsided and the days grew longer and brighter—it was spring. Spring—a time for new thoughts, new sentiments, new outlooks. The oriental cherry trees scattered about the campus were transformed almost overnight into gigantic bouquets of pink blossoms, accenting the greenness of the meticulously cared for law ns. The sweet smell of newly cut grass and the pungent odor of fresh paint permeated the air. Temperate breezes played havoc with brightly colored skirts and head scarfs. Baseball and the chancellor’s inauguration became the major topics of conversation in the Oakland area. R.O.T.C. students marched in uncertain formations on the Cathedral lawn. Students lounged in the noonday sun. It was a new year—a “New Era”—it was spring. “God's in his heaven— All's right with the world! - Itrownin . AS Sl'HIN'G WOKE ON, THE RESTLESS WIND SIBSIDED TO A SOLEMN STILLNESS. 75 NEW VISION OF PLACE IN STUDENT ACTIVITIES INCREASES STATURE IN ACADEMIC FIELDS Fraternities and sororities have, in the years past, become increasingly conscious of their responsibilities to the campus community. They have become aware of their op| ortunitics to serve other students as well as their own members. With this new, mature vision of their place in the world of student activities comes increased stature in academic fields. In the future their contributions to the University, as planned in their own programs for providing housing, promoting activities and contributing leadership, will be even more valuable. The University approves fully the academic and social programs provided by the Greek Letter Societies. The future of these programs is bright because the organizations, both on the national and on the local level, have accpiircd added strength and character by giving new meanings anti new attention to their original high ideals. Students who have developed enthusiasm and loyalty for such activities will play a major role in the development of the University of Pittsburgh. Theodore W. Biddle Dean of Men FRONT HOW: I .

From this they turned their attention to Fall rushing and then to the annual Kid party for their dates in November. During the Christmas season, they held their annual black and white formal. Alpha Delta Pis were active in many phases of Pitt life this year. Mary Johnson was a very prominent member of Pitt Players, and she also directed the Panhcllcnic Choir. Annabel Fawcett was a member of Mortar Hoard, and Marian Mlay won the Chi Omega Scholarship for outstanding undergraduate work in political science. Both Marian and Annabel were members of Pi Tau Pin. Even with such a busy schedule, the Alpha Delta Pis found time to sponsor a project to raise money to aid crippled children.

They arc noted for their character, culture, and charm. In line with these purposes was the chapter's decision to give gifts for the cart in the children's ward of Monteliorc Hospital. Participation in the campus carnival activities with Phi Gamma Delta fraternity provided fun and hcljn'd the AEPhis to realize the third goal of their chapter, to make Alpha Kpidlon Phi a vital force on Pitt's campus.

Here, the members cooperated in planning for the numerous social affairs which they held throughout the year. These included a hayride, a square-dance, several bowling parties, a Christmas dance, and the highlight of the year, the annual Spring formal. Certainly the Beta Sigma Omicrons have a wide variety of interests and activities represented among their members. Their chapter roll shows four senior mentors, three members of Quax, a member of Alpha Epsilon Delta, members of the Heinz Chapel Choir, Mortar Board, Pi Tau Phi, and Quo Vadis. The chapter was also active in working for the Sneed Scholarship Fund, and also for their national philanthropy, the Pine Mountain Settlement School.

The fact that Chi Omegas have been the recipients of this award for the last two years is more than just a coincidence. It is tangible evidence that the high standards the sorority strives for are being attained by its members. Activity could well he the key word for Chi Omega. There is hardly an organization on campus which doesn’t include at least one Chi O. Among the more prominent Chi Os are Louise Lomnicki, president of WSGA; Carolyn Loefller, recipient of a Nationality Room trip to Europe this past summer; and Eileen Jordan, Sweetheart of Phi Delta Theta. The Chi Os, also, award annually a scholarship to the outstanding woman political science major and sponsor a faculty tea, parent’s day dinner, and orphan’s party. FRONT ROW: I,. Bell, L.

Rosemary Ray led this group as editor of the l itt Veins. Close behind was Carole Vagnozzi, a member of senior court and president of Mortar Roard. Rose Miller was president of Idaka, Pat Brown and Marica Depew were members of Cwens. and Frannie Miale was secretary of Block “P”. As a group, the Tri Delts certainly have an enviable record. Dressed as angels, they won second place in last year’s Greek Sing, and in cooperation with Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, they won second place for their Spring Carnival show and third place for their front. To round out their program, the Tri Delts gave their time and services to several charitable organizations and also participated in an active social program.

Proof of this is the forty-one pledges they had last fall— the highest number on campus. The Delta Sigs have much more to offer prospective members than their advantageous Loth-rop Street location. They are among the most progressive and active fraternities at Pitt. Last year the Delta Sigs captured eight trophies in inter-fraternity competition, and never finished lower than third in an athletic contest. They also excel at non-athlctic events. There’s hardly an organization on campus which doesn't number a Delta Sig among its members. Highlights of their social program arc a Sailor's Ball, Founder’s Day Banquet, a formal Carnation Ball, and sitting on the front porch watching the nurses ascend the steps to their residence.

It has been an integral part of the University since 1904. A more active group of men would be hard to find. They annually hold an alumni dance, jazz concerts, a Winter Weekend, a Spring Weekend, and several lost weekends. Their celebrated sports cars have done more than provide the Delts transportation to various social events, however. The Delts hold regular panel discussions with alumni in various professional fields in an effort to help their members adjust more rapidly from college life to the business world. The Delts say their purpose for existing is to “develop a high standard of intellectual achievement in a closely knit group.” And, we might add, to have a heluva time doing it. 90 O JirtrEdward IfTt, vice president: Nelson Horner, treasurer: Lynn Watson, president. .Jan Swenson with “Mark book in view starts after a date.

For the members of Kappa Kappa Gamma take great pride in its latest additions, symbols of a busy and fruitful year on campus. Among these are first place trophies for front and show in last year’s carnival activities with Sigma Chi. and a National Recognition Trophy for the most improvement in scholarship. Kappa queens last year included Kllie Leslie, Delta Tan Delta and IF Sweetheart, Homecoming Queen, and Pitt’s representative to the Sugar Bowl; Darin Geise, Military Ball Sweetheart; Popie Papandreas, Senior Queen. To promote their purpose of service to the community and the University, the Kappas assisted in the Red Cross drive, held a Christmas party for orphans, and with Delta Tan Delta, sponsored the annual Kappa-Dell reception for the faculty.

'I'lie KNs spent a lot of hours remodeling their basement into a game room and added a ping |x ng room this year—which shows both their industrial tendencies and the pride they feel towards their house and fraternity. The big social events of the season for the Kappa Nus were two formals—one in Winter and another in the Spring.

But when it comes to thinking up ideas, the Phi Gams are certainly not hampered by this age barrier. Last Christmas they got together with the Zeta 'Fan Alpha sorority for an orphans party, and over the year held a number of enjoyable parties. The Fijis are proud to claim as brothers such outstanding men as Reed Harper, president of Interfraternity Council, Tom Darling. Jack Hammond. and Dave Hirst, mainstays of the Panther gymnastic team.

They won a second place award for their booth, “Heads OIT to Shakespeare.” During the rest of the year, however, the Phi Kaps managed to keep their heads. They held a semi-formal affair at the Holiday House, and two formats—one in December and one in June. Besides social activities, the Phi Kaps head up many charitable events, including an orphan's party. Many Phi Kaps are active in school affairs. Among the best known arc Gene Keinbold, Tony Arabia, and Dennis Zymboly. Phi Kappa men receive all the benefits of the I Diversity, yet enjoy the advantages of a group of men with common ideals. 106 • Phi Kappa brothers lend a hand to Carol Goetz in mixing the punch for the luncheon between Tri Sig and their fraternity.

The profitable selling of their house on Craig Street necessitated moving to a temporary location. t present they are situated in an apartment in the Bclleficld Dwellings until they buy another house. Cramped quarters have not. however, curtailed the large number of events in which they annually participate. Foremost among their social events are tea dances, the “Dream Girl Winter formal, a Spring formal, and an annual orphan's party. The PiKAs made quite a name for themselves in the athletic world last year by copping the City Touch Football Championship. Some of the opposition protested that the PiKAs were feigning injuries to stop the clock at crucial moments .luring the games. We can’t say whether these protests carry any legitimacy but live PiKAs did win lirst place acting awards in Spring Carnival. 110 Officers: John Staiger, vice president; Don Lad ley, treasurer; (Jerry Fisher, secretary; Bert O'Malley, fifth man; Edward Klein, president.

The Pi I.atns, however, disproved this theory by showing how a sprig of ivy transplanted from Yale in 1914 has blossomed into one of Pitt’s sturdiest fraternities. The Pi Lams—with two cheerleaders, the president of a pre-legal honorary, and an assistant chairman of Block “P” among their membership —arc not known for their tranquility. However, from out of this maze of “hold that line,” “Yes, your Honor,” and multi-colored pieces of cardboard has evolved one of the most active fraternities on campus. Highlights of the Pi Lams social season are a student-faculty tea, a Winter and Summer formal, and the IF ping pong tournament—which they won last year and which we had to mention somewhere.

Exactly one hundred years ago the SAEs were founded at the University of Alabama. The Chi Omicron chapter was started at Pitt in 1913. In last year’s Spring Festival the SAEs copped four cups, including one for the best novelty act. They proved, however, that not all of their time was spent in merry-making by winning the IF award for the most improved scholarship. They strive to improve inter-college relations, annually sponsoring a joint dinner with Carnegie Tech’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. At this affair alumni, state, and national officers are honored.

Judging from this year's list of activities, they seem determined to win it again. They started off the year by taking a pledge class of eleven, the largest number taken by any sorority on the campus. These pledges went right to work making seventy-five stuffed animals to be sent to Heart House for Christmas. Meanwhile, the actives gave a barn dance and presented the proceeds to their national philanthropy. Both actives and pledges joined together to enjoy themselves at pledge parties, tea dances, and the annual Winter formal.

Karly in the school year, the Tri Sigs collaborated with Phi Sigtna Sigma Sorority to sponsor a barn dance. During the fraternity rush season, the Tri Sigs attended several tea dances to meet prospective fraternity members and make them feel at ease. During the Christinas season, they decorated their apartment with Christinas green and held a tea to honor their mothers. The chapter also contributed to the Robbie Page Polio Fund. The Tri Sigs arc very proud of three of their outstanding members who contributed their services to the University this year.

Thus have the members of Kappa chapter of this National Catholic women’s sorority united and cooperated in all the many activities which they have undertaken. Significant among these achievements were the Christmas party for orphans and the work done for the Glenmary Mis-sioners. the national philanthropy. Included on the TP A annual agenda is a Founder’s Day breakfast, a formal, and several Communion breakfasts. They also schedule tea dances with the fraternities on campus, planning all activities to help them in fulfilling their purpose of advancing the interests of Catholic women in religious, educational, and social matters.

In addition, Bobby Spalic was last ear's Spring Festival Queen. This year Sue Biddle led the way as president of Block “P”, chief justice of Senior Court, and a member ol Heinz Chapel Choir. Not all of the Zetas activity is confined to winning trophies. This year they gave a benefit to raise money for the support of the Allegheny County Society for Crippled Children, and they also sold Faster seals. The Zetas enjoy social life. too. and this year’s social calendar showed a Winter formal, a Christinas orphan’s party, a party for the girls in the Zela house, and a Spring formal. Two of the girls are happy to bring more trophies into the Zctu house. 124 A group of the Zetas are engrossed in their game of cards. SKATED KIGIIT FRONT: N. Dixon, R. Olesnevich. K. Maegerlrin.

Any skeptical readers are invited to visit the Alpha’s sprawling residence on Centre Avenue and prove this for themselves. Here they will find students known for their high scholastic and moral standards preparing arduously for their next social study which could quite possibly be the Alpha’s Autumn Hop. At these events the Alphas can observe society in all of its various phases—or so they say. Some sorority girls doubt this. They think it’s just a gag to get girls hopping around raking leaves off the Alpha’s huge lawn. They do concede, however, that it’s a lot of fun—and the boys say it’s a valuable experiment for the benefit of society. All we can say is that there are few better kept lawns on Centre Avenue.

This was just one of the many events which President Lillian Warren and her officers had planned for the year. Others included the annual Delta Sigma Theta weekend which featured a tea and a dance for the members and their dates, and also a party for the sisters who lived out of town. During the Christinas season, they participated in a candlelight soiree, and in the Spring, they held their annual formal. As special projects, the Delta Sigma Thetas held a job opportunities forum to offer adjustivc aid to teenagers of this area and also gave scholarships to deserving members. This past Summer, for the second year in a row. the Delta Sigma Thetas placed second in the NAACP songfest. 128 Officers: Chariot P. Peru, treanurer; Francis E.

They are the largest national social fraternity in the nation, and the local Gamma Epsilon chapter find that they run into brothers wherever they go. On the local level, the Lambda Chis treat orphans to an annual football game, hold a dinner dance at Colonial Manor, and stage a Founder’s Day Banquet each spring. In the last few semesters the Lambda Chis have greatly increased their membership and are in line for an award from their national office for this achievement. The Lambda Chis have such assets as a new house and Bob Pollock to impress rushees. Add to this “a good social life, a solid brotherhood, and a building of men” and you have the story of Lambda Chi Alpha’s success. SKATED ON FLOOR: R. Huird, H. Ix.ucki., L. Mulkerin, R.

To round out their social program, the sorority held a brides’ tea to honor recent brides in the chapter, a Winter formal, and monthly dinners which the girls cooked themselves in their apartment. To raise money for their national philanthropy, the Phi Sigma Sigmas washed cars and held a rummage sale. Not to be outdone by the actives in helping others, the pledges dyed Faster eggs for Children’s Hospital. Many members brought honor to the chapter through their activities at the University. This year four Phi Sigs were chosen as senior mentors, Hannah Metzger was a member of Mortar Board, Nancy Weintraub, a member of Cwens, and Sandra Wcsoky, an active participant in Women’s Speech. 130 ' ice president Robert f’erbcr anil President Donald Walker show off tin- bide that sent by the Duke chapter after last year's game.

This year the Sigma Phis played host to chapters of their fraternity from most of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia in the annual district basketball convention. The SPEs achieved one of their fullest seasons this year, as they sponsored numerous tea dances, unique house parties, several smorgasbords, and an annual Spring formal, highlighted by the crowning of their sweetheart. Most of this past year was spent remodeling their recently acquired house on Eorbcs Street. In spare moments the fellows managed to compete in intramurals and hold an orphan’s party. FRONT ROW : I).

However, in the last several semesters hard rushing has been the keynote, and they have risen to a place of prominence among local fraternities. In line with this growth, the chapter house has not been neglected. Last year the interior was repainted, and the adjoining parking lot enlarged. The social program has also been expanded and includes such events as a Homecoming affair, an Alumni Banquet, an annual Cellar-Dwellers party, and a two day long Orchid Ball in the Spring. In campus affairs the Sigma Pis are led by such men as Charles Dahlingcr, Francis Vaughn, Max Kumar, and Louis Cherpes.

Bob McCabe, was the S-A ward winner, and spent the summer studying at Oxford. With their Bayard Street house now refurnished and redecorated, they were in a position to hold a number of parties—and they made the most of this opportunity. Among the afTairs were dinners, numerous dances, and a hypnotist show. This year is the one hundredth anniversary of Theta Chi’s founding and the local chapter is endeavoring now more than ever to carry out the aim of the fraternity—to provide a social life on campus, to bring men of high caliber into a brotherhood of friendship, and to help the student scholastically. Their members foci that these aims are being attained—and not when they were under the influence of a hypnotist, either.

Stare at the wonder of light. The cauliflower cloud Roars into columned white Above reflecting seas. Less dazzling than the birth Of Aphrodite as A knock-kneed naked girl, With blowing taffy hair. Standing upon a shell Wind kissed and proud, As though her nakedness was An unencumbered pearl For some sure love to wear. Now time delivers these Clothed shapes of girls, to tell That living and love outlast The strontium cloud, the atom blast. 135 WHAT IS A FRATERNITY SWEETHEART? What is a fraternity sweetheart? To the casual observer she is a pretty girl whose picture adorns some fraternity’s page in a yearbook. But what is beneath the surface; what makes her a sweetheart? The Oul had some ideas, but not the answer. To find out, we went to the men who should most logically know—the presidents of the fraternities. All of them had different ideas about what a sweetheart is, but from the jumble of opinions wre began to understand. To start off with, Delta Sigma Phi’s John Kodak felt: In her, all the brothers see those fine qualities they attribute to their own sweethearts.” We had our first clue. She is a girl that you can compare favorably with your own. She is a good dancer, but not a showoff. Her dress is neat at all times, but never gaudy. She makes you grudgingly envy her boy friend, while at the same time, proudly aware that she is a friend of yours. A hazy outline was being formed. At the Delta Tau Delta house, Lynn W'atson said: A girl chosen for public relations work.” Now her association with the fraternity became clear. She is the girl that others associate with the fraternity; the better the impression she makes, the better the fraternity looks. She is the girl that can act as the perfect hostess for the fraternity. At rushing events she makes it a point to meet all the rushees and their dates and make them feel at ease. She is, in effect, a window into the fraternity—she can help to direct favorable opinion of others toward the fraternity. She was taking definite form now; only one small feature was missing. Mike Underwood of Phi Gamma Delta supplied the answer. He said simply: She’s n girl that’s one of the boys.” She is the kind of girl who keeps a party alive without having to make a fool of herself. She boosts morale after a defeat and sincerely compliments all concerned after a victory. She is a good shoulder to cry on. You watch your language around her, of course, but you arc never uncomfortable in her presence. Now the picture was clear. We knew what a fraternity sweetheart was: now the question was. Who is she? She is the girl next door, the girl in the pew in front of you in church, the girl cheering behind you at the football game. She is the girl on the following pages . . . 136 - ■IT’. atntuon SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON ORGANIZATIONS CHALLENGE OF NEW ERA... TO PROVIDE WIDE RANGE OF VALUE EXPERIENCES THROUGH ACTIVITIES While the classroom, library and laboratory must always he of first importance in the educational scheme and demand from each student the fullest application of his powers and energies, the University recognizes that many of the desired characteristics of the educated man or woman cannot be developed in the formal program alone. To achieve the fullest development of each student as a human being, there must be a complimentary contribution from the University community, a complex structure of organizations, activities, and services, all designed to provide a wide range of value experiences. This community must be a kind of laboratory in which the student translates his developing abilities, understandings. and interests—intellectual, social, aesthetic, moral and spiritual—into a personally meaningful way of life. To provide the physical resources, the services, and the programs necessary to the achievement of such a community is the challenge of the New Era.” Dr. Charles H.

With more and more stress being put on air power every day, it is little wonder that the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps has become one of the most modern and fastest growing organizations at Pitt. The job of Air Force R.O.T.C. is to grant commissions to certain qualifying cadets, and just as important, to train these cadets for the role of an officer. Juniors and seniors attend a four-week summer camp, where they actually tackle the problems that will confront them upon entering the service. A.F.R.O.T.C. provides a number of activities for its cadets. Among them are: Arnold Air Society for juniors and seniors. Sabre Air Command for freshmen and sophomores, a trick drill team, a rifle team, and along with Army R.O.T.C., the Pershing Rifles. On the social side, A.F.R.O.T.C. joins up with the Army to hold a Military Rail each Spring. Attention is called a Cadet Lieutenant Colonels Jack Tolochko and John Powell inspect their troop .

The central office is located in the Tri-State district at Wcirton, West Virginia. The specific aims and purposes of the organization are to cul- tivate the social qualities of its members, to secure benefits out of the individual’s reach, and to exert influenec for the advancement of the dental profession. Members may be tapped after satisfaetory completion of one semester in the Sehool of Dentistry. High spots on the social calendar include a Christmas formal and a Spring formal, which marks the end of both the sehool and soeial year.

Movies from the Pennsylvania School for the Blind are also of interest to the group. Founded at Pitt, in 1939, this local sorority has many worthwhile projects throughout the year. A teachers’ placement bureau, a forum for foreign exchange students, and an annual banquet in the Spring are a part of the sorority’s program which is designed to foster cooperation and friendship between students and faculty.

It also strives to educate the public to appreciate ami demand higher ideals in the field of business administration. The Delta chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi at Pitt goes a long way towards fulfilling these aims, but they also manage to fulfill the social desires of their members. They hold a semi-annual pledge dance, banquets, and smokers in addition to sponsoring a booth at Spring Carnival. Alpha Kappa Psi also awards a scholarship key to the senior in business administration who attains the top ranking in his class. A group of Alpha Kappa Psis enjoy a card game in the kitchen.

Even though this is true, the organization is far from being one-sided. Besides numerous parties and minor social affairs, they sponsor an annual alumni and senior dinner dance. The guiding factor behind Alpha Omega is the wish to promote the ideals of professionalism, Judaism, and fraternalism among dental students of Jew ish faith.

The members of the association strive mainly to acquaint outsiders with the details and intricacies of the profession. 'Poo many people, they contend, think of pharmacists as doing nothing hut counting pills. In an effort to enlighten the public to the humanitarian duties of the pharmacist, the association sets up displays showing the various phases of the profession. The association also invites speakers from leading drug companies to talk to their members about opportunities in the field. The members of the association know the prescription for enjoyment too. which participants at their annual Christmas and Spring dances can readily verify. FRONT ROW: M. Parent?, R. Rirk, C.

The American Society of Civil Engineers is one organization on campus that never complains of having difficulty in obtaining new members- all junior and seniors in civil engineering are required to join. Nevertheless the |� opularity of the group is shown by the large number of underclassmen—who are not required to join— among its members. A.S.C.E. works to develop well rounded engineers anti to give their members additional practical and theoretical knowledge that they would otherwise not have the opportunity to obtain. To fulfill this aim they bring in guest speakers who have attained great heights in their profession to share their experiences with the student members. Spaghetti dinners, a senior banquet, and field trips to various points of interest were also on the A.S.C.E. agenda this year. FRONT ROW: J. M a tout, F. Schwartz, H. Solomon, R. McCormick, L. Miles.

The specific aim and purpose of the group is to raise the standards of dentistry by inculcating in the minds of dental students ami practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation toward scientific, ethical, and professional progress. Undergraduate membership is limited to dental students in good class standing and not holding membership in any other dental fraternity. Socially, the DSD highlight their program with a Christmas and Spring formal. During the year they manage to hold a party on the average of once every two weeks. In this way they blend the concentrated study of dental school with a certain amount of fun.

The Pitt Koto Club works with its members in an attempt to make them more skillful in the art of photography. Any student —regardless of his previous experience—may join the club. Here he will meet and learn from the top photographers on Pitt’s publications and from professionals in the field. Various photographic techniques are discussed and criticized at the regular meetings, and occasional field trips give the members a chance to practice what they have learned. Each Spring the club sponsors a Photo salon to exhibit pictures that its members have taken during the year. Awards arc given to the best black and white and colored photographs entered in the show. 168 Dave Chiavetia practices teaching with Bryon llarrigcr, DeWaync Tuthill. and Wilbur Mackin.

This organization founded on Pitt's campus in 1926 encourages men of sound moral character and recognized ability to engage in the study of educational problems. Kappa Phi Kappa accepts into its fold any male in the undergraduate school of education. All of its members must maintain a high scho- lastic rating in accordance with the professional field they have chosen. This year the men of Kappa Phi Kappa have given to their educational peers a curriculum library. This library will be of service to all those enrolled in the field of education. Kappa Phi Kappa also believes in play, for each year it holds several smokers as well as other outstanding social events. FRONT ROW: B. Harrigcr, J. Brennan, R. Bruno, W. Mackin. BACK ROW: M.

An overall Q.P.A. of 1.5 and one full semester in the Pharmacy school arc the basic requirements for membership. Two awards are given each year to deserving individuals of Kappa Psi. These are the Ray Kelly Scholarship Award of $500 and the Alvin J. Vavro Award worth $25. The winners of these arc chosen by a committee comprised of the dean of the school, faculty members, and charter members. Highlighting Kappa Psi’s social activities are the province convention and the senior banquet. Besides these annual events, the pharmaceutical students of the fraternity hold a number of informal affairs and have an interesting pledge period. I'red Shader.

Phi Delta Chi exists with two purposes in mind. First, to advance the science of pharmacy and second, to promote a fraternal spirit among its members. Each year Phi Delta Chi supports the local charities such as the Pitt Chest. To halanee their program, they sponsor a number of mixer dances with student nurses and a Spring and Fall smoker to tap new members. The social season is highlighted by two Spring affairs, an alumni banquet, and a dinner dance. Phi Delta Chi is a good example of how fraternal spirit and professional pride can mix.

Through a series of planned professional and social events, the men have strived to promote an interest in the field of physical education. The organization originated in 1939 and has been active on Pitt's campus since. Previously, it had opened its membership to both men and women. The group has the distinction of being the only one of its kind in this area. Any male in the physical education department is qualified for membership and since its start every man has joined. The men have proved that socially they are quite adept. Their Christmas party last year was a huge success. In the Spring of the year, the men escort females to the traditional semi-formal dance. Sarah Finnin and John Chraska serve tea lo some of the members present at the Physical Education Club banquet. The Physical Education Club banquet was held October 12. 1956. FRONT ROW: J.

The aims of the group are to promote the field of electrical engineering and to keep those in the course of study aware of the newest developments arising. The seminar has maintained these goals since its founding. Due to the value of the seminars, the School of Engineering automatically recognizes undergraduate members of the school as a part of the group. This past year the regional convention was held at Lafayette College. At the convention an award is given to the outstanding undergraduate electrical engineer in this area. An annual social event of the A.I.E.E. is the formal dinner dance during Engineer’s Week. At this affair the men have an opportunity to become acquainted with each other socially as well as professionally. 176 foster interest in chemistry AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY Anv student at the University who is interested in chemistry is eligible to become a member of the American Chemical Society, an organization which strives to foster and promote an interest in chemistry among undergraduates. Members hear famous lecturers in the field of chemistry—complete with involved demonstrations—as well as conduct experiments themselves at the society’s meetings. They also tour chemical plants and experimental labs. Several joint meetings with other A.C.S. chapters occur throughout the year. At these meetings the students have the opportunity to compare their views and thoughts with members from other universities and in this way broaden their scope of learning. The fact that the University is still standing is evidence that the society also stresses safety. FRONT: G. llaberland. J. Burke. BACK ROW: H. Walter (secretary). Dr. H. FrcUcr, A. Pietrzyk, P.

This organization strives to teach future chemical engineers the advantages this course of study offers. During the year the association was busy planning, along with its brother organization at Carnegie Tech, the annual student convention. In the past year A.I.CH.E. managed to win— for the second straight year—the Shamrock Award.

This enables the members to express their individual views on subjects of current iui| ortance in their held. Many of the meetings are devoted to technical studies and trip- arc taken to various places of interest. Through these varied activities, the members are given an insight into their chosen profession. Several social functions during the year, including dinners ami group smokers, provide the members an op|K rtunity to develop the fellowship they aim for. STANDING: S. Num (secretary). Mrs. F.

This group attempts to better acquaint its members with the nursing profession through interviews and visits to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Idaka was founded in 1939 and by May, 1942. when by-laws were drawn up and approved by the committee on recognition for women, it became formally recognized on campus. Membership in Idaka is limited to those in pre-nursing, having a minimum of fourteen credits, and with at least a 1.0 Q.P. A. The Idaka social program includes such affairs as an October open house, a parent's tea given in March, and an annual -host-mas party. 178 All engineering students in the lield of mechanics or aerodynamics have the opportunity to become members of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. At present the I.A.S. at Pitt is relatively small, but it is rapidly growing into a strong engineering group. 'I'he institute’s main purpose is to develop an interest in aeronautical science among engineering students. To do this they sponsor field trips to various aeronautical labs, such as the Lewis Laboratory in Cleveland, and bring in top speakers in the field. The Pitt branch of I.A.S. is in the process of completing an NACA development library and is constructing a wind tunnel to further their experiments in aerodynamics. Socially the members of I.A.S. fly high too. They hold a picnic, dinner, and eider and doughnut affairs during the course of the year. FRONT ROW: S. Insana, A. Kurpiewaki, K. Hierwr. I).

Any male student who supports this aim is qualified for membership. Through its activities, which include monthly association nites, inter-collegiate conferences, Bible study groups, student-faculty coffee hours, intramural sports, and the sponsorship of Freshman Camp, United Nations Week, Political Week, and community service projects, the association provides many opportunities for leadership experience. The .M.C.A. does much of its work with the Y.W.C.A. and many of its social affairs, such as the Fall jamboree and square dance, are held with that group. 201 Bill Jonc , Al Louden, executive secretary.

The Newman Club holds theology classes, a weekly rosary hour, and communion breakfasts. They also sponsor what is perhaps the most active social calendar on campus. They hold various dances, both formal and informal, a Christmas party, a Summer camping trip, and weekly open house. In addition, to this, club members also participate in Pitt's intramural athletic leagues, publish a club newspaper, and maintain a house on Craig Street. FRONT ROW: J. Schuler, R. Marlirr. B.

This pre-theological fraternity, w hich is open to student w ho are preparing to become ministers, priests, or rahhis. was formed in order to establish common ground for greater understanding and fellowship among the different religious faiths. While I’i Theta doe not emphasize the doctrinal differences of the faiths represented, each member of the organization learns to appreciate the aspirations of the other member and also gains a better perspective of his own faith.

HEINZ CHAPEL IS SURPASSINGLY BEAUTIFUL IN ANY SEASON OF TI1E YEAR. 216 In a large, complex university it is impossible for an elected group to govern the others as a regulating, penalizing body. Our size, the diversity of our interests, and the wide geographic area in which we live, study, and play makes that too difficult. It is also undesirable. Certainly the “.New Era” at the University calls for a more mature emphasis. The purpose of student government organizations is basically the same as that of the whole University—the development of thinking, kindly, cultivated men and women, capable of self-restraint, and able and willing to contribute their unique capacities to the good of society. Only through the realization of each of these objectives can the highest happiness come to a student during his University years and throughout his life. This concept imposes serious obligations on every student of the University, not just on those selected as leaders of the government organizations. Helen P.

Congress studies the needs and interests of the students, following up with programs to foster good will and constructive work together among the students of the University. Student Congress’ ultimate goal was to make its students proud of Pitt. Planning such activities as all-Univer-sity dances, pep rallies at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Spring Carnival, and the Homecoming celebrations were some of the projects undertaken by the members of this student governing body this year. The reorganization of student government bodies was also on the Student Congress agenda. Congress meetings were held each Monday. At a Student Congress meeting new business come up on the agenda.

Membership is made up of forty women, two from each freshman seminar. Because they have no elected officials, the vice president of.W.S.G.A. serves as the presiding officer. Freshman Council works hand-in-hand with the freshman men to carry out a social program. They worked together to plan a mixer dance in January and co-sponsored a talent show-in March for the henelit of the Hungarian Belief Fund. Decorations for the February Heart Hop were handled by the Council, and they topped their social season off with a class dinner in April, at which their by-laws were approved ami adopted.

Led by their president, Jean Lintio, they started off the year by welcoming the new Sophomore transfers at a tea. With the Sophomore men, they held the first dance of the school year, the Football Fracas. This dance featured a program by the football players and cheerleaders during the intermission.

The Sophomore men ami women found that they worked well together, and cooperated again to institute a Sophomore Day. 'I'he highlight of this year was a dinner the girls gave for their mothers. This event was so successful that it had to be held on two different evenings to accomintslate all who wanted to attend. Certainly with such a line record, Pitt can expect even greater things from this class in the next two years. . information for sophomore women, rile cabinets provide intcrcs s 235 junior leaders WOMEN’S JUNIOR CLASS CABINET A well-planned program emphasizing social interests was welcomed by the Class of 1958 this year. Throughout the year, various social events combined with informal meetings helped mold the group into a closely knit organization. On October 18, Junior women attended a successful class dinner, having as its theme “The Arabian Nights.” The Christmas spirit was caught by the Juniors at an unusual smorgasbord, where preparation of the various exotic foods added to the girls’ knowledge of cooking. Along with being very enjoyable, the fashion show held by the ('.lass in the Spring also provided a key to the girls in planning their own wardrobes. In addition to these activities, short get-togethers and parties on the twelfth floor were included in the social program. The girl enjoyed the Flirtation dance performed by Carolyn Sta enko.

We all know that Seniors arc always busy, but the Women’s Senior Class still managed to find time to meet and enjoy social events during their last year here at Pitt. Many of them gave up the last week of their summer vacation to attend Mentor Training, and then they served as Mentors to the incoming Freshmen for a six-week period. The Senior Class officers directed the officials of the other women's classes in planning the Heart Hop, Pitt’s only girl-ask-boy dance. The Seniors enjoyed each other’s company at class dinners, and as the year drew to a close, they came together for the Rose Tea. At this time the nominees for Senior Queen were revealed. On Coronation day, the day before graduation, the Seniors came together for the last time as a class to honor the outstanding Senior woman.

This year under the active E.S.A. social program evening students enjoyed square dances and get-acquainted dances, along with a semi-formal dance and a candle-light dinner. The Association also sponsored chapel services and an evening newspaper.

FINE ARTS As we look forward into a “New Era” at Pitt, it is perhaps wortli risking momentary eye strain by attempting to look backward at the same time. The so-railed “Fine Arts” activities have had a healthy part in our educational enterprise. While they have had to “make do” with what has at times seemed to be inadequate space and schedule facilities, they have never lacked for students and directors whose enthusiasm has made it unthinkable that they would mark time waiting for heaven to arrive. 'Flic result has been that these activities have furnished a very-real and very important part of the education of their members. These young people have all. at times, achieved something better than they knew they had. We all look forward with eagerness to what is to come. Theodore M.

Pitt Players, however, is far more than a dramatic club, for it is open to all students who are interested in any phase of the theater. Before an actor can step upon the stage, it is necessary to have a stage crew, a makeup department, a business staff, and the multitude of people to do the countless odd jobs that arise. As Director Michael Mcllale put it, “Anyone who can lift a paintbrush or address a post card can help. There is no talent in the world the theater can’t use.” This year Pitt’s “community theater”—despite an outbreak of measles, bouts with the flu. and all the other hard luck that seems to plague show business—put on a musical, “Brigadoon,” two modern comedies, “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” and “Stalag 17.” and “Taming of the Shrew.” Lloyd Wcldcn, technical director, and Michael Mcllale, director of Pitt Players, discuss sets between scenes during a dress rehearsal. 240 I'rojH arc essential to any Player production.

They also serve as an outstanding representative of the University through the presentation of concerts at other colleges in the surrounding areas. After their strenuous auditions in the Fall, the Glee Club teamed up with Women’s Choral to present a Christmas concert, and later in the year, they presented their own Spring concert. In addition, the Glee Club has been called upon many times to sing at University functions. The outstanding event for these boys was their Spring tour in April. None of the members minded missing a few days of classes to sing at several women’s colleges and to spend a memorable weekend in New York City.

The group devoted three weekly meetings to an intramural program of practice debates and speeches. MDA also held many intercollegiate debates, which included trips to Notre Dame. Houston, West Point, and Cornell. The Pitt Cross Examination Tournament climaxed the intercollegiate program. Another part of MDA's busy schedule was taking intramural debates to 35 local service club organizations. A fourth area of MDA’s work was the annual high school debate clinic. The fifth point of the Association's program was the sponsorship of “Face the People each week on W QED, on which a panel of students quizzed prominent guests on interesting discussion subjects.

Student publications at the University of Pittsburgh have been organized and administered in such a way that they have provided both staff members and readers with training in the best journalistic traditions. One of the strong traditions of Pitt publications concerns the freedom of staff members to write as they please. In exercising this important journalistic principle, students have developed for themselves new concepts of democratic living. They have acknowledged their responsibilities in upholding the rights of others. Readers of Pitt publications are aware of the tradition and know that such practices will, in the “New Era.” strengthen the position of the Pitt Netvs, the Oul. the Skyscraper Engineer, ami the Pill Capsule as significant student activities. I)r. Donald E. Swarts Director of Student Publications PUBLICATIONS records new era” THE 1957 OWL Eugene J. Kcinbold.’business manager The 1957 Old staff began functioning in May, 1956, and completed its work Friday, March 15, 1957. The year-round operation of producing a pictorial and written record of the school year was undertaken by Thomas C. Vrana, editor-in-chief; Mazie Ann HofTman, associate editor; Bob llawxhurst, photo editor; and Alfred Pelaez, literary editor. The so called “big four” were capably assisted by an editorial staff of 48 and a business staff of 16 under the direction of Eugene J. Reinboid, business manager. Neal Zweig, assistant business manager, and Howie Rossen, business coordinator, helped Reinboid to have one of the most efficient business staffs in Old history. 'I’he theme “The Inauguration of a New Era,” was chosen because the staff believed that the year 1957 would be a pivot year in Pitt’s continued growth. With a new administration under the leadership of Chancellor Edward II. Litchfield, 1957 was destined to be the first year of a “new era” which promises “to make Pitt nothing less than one of the top six universities in the country.” The theme also had direct bearing on the yearbook itself. The 1957 Oui was the 51st student annual— the start of a second half of a century and of perhaps “a new era in yearbooks.” The Old staff not only went through the editorial and business steps of trying to put out an “All-American” book, but also stepped out socially quite often during the year. Besides parties and the annual banquet at the end of the year. Old staffers made two trips to Buffalo—where the Old is published by Win. J. Keller Inc.—to lay down yearbook plans and read proof and in general to have “a good time.” A Fall trip to Cleveland for the annual Associated Collegiate Press convention was enjoyed by selected staff members. And the Old Photo Editor, Bob llawxhurst, also went out of town to Jacksonville, Florida, to cover the Gator Bowl game between Pitt and Georgia Tech. Whether or not the 1957 Old is an “All-American” book, one thing can be said of its staff: “It was an All-American staff.” 256 PHOTO STAFF: Toni Gox .tonyi, Paul Manquclicr. Walt Sickles.

This was shown through campus features, news articles, and editorials. Outstanding news stories during the year included the opening of the Student Union, a campaign to send the Varsity Marching Band to the Miami football game, the announcement of football player Joe Walton's selection to the All-American ranks, the coverage of the presidential campaign through a series of debates by columnists Irv Rothman and Harold Jacobs, a discussion with Eleanor Roosevelt by Pitt Actvs reporter Joyce Koplos, and a television interview with Vice President Richard M.

I'he magazine serves as the leading activity for many engineering students and encourages original writing ami research ami serves as a workshop for magazine journalism. This was a year of progress for the magazine and one in which many records were set and innovations created. Early in November, Editor-in-chief Mitchell Kozikowski and Business Manager Richard Jackson attended the Engineering College Magazine's convention at the University of rkansas to petition for membership in the Association. 'I'he Skyscraper was accepted unanimously on the basis of its high standards. Many circulation and advertising records were set by the capable business staff. Each issue was bigger than the previous one with a record 88-pages apjiearing in the March issue. A record number of students were on this year’s staff. 'I'he mainstay of the staff was Managing Editor Jack Albert. Many hours were spent by Boh Muzik. Ken Bothert. and Bill Snodgrass who assembled the January research issue. Other major staff members were Story Editor Dick Bolt, Associate Editor Tom Tarolli. ami Production Manager Ken Speckhals. Fred Horn, Cal Jobe, and Dick Rcutzel were invaluable on the business staff. All of the articles and features in the magazine are not staff pieces; the Skyscraper encourages contributions from engineering and science students.

To obtain the many talents and facilities necessary in producing a magazine of quality is difficult for even professional groups, but most certainly is it true for the health profession schools. So specialized are the courses there that no background of training is offered in writing or composition other than the minimum year required for a bachelor of science degree. The students responsible for the past ten successful years of the Capsule's publication have never received any great material reward, nor have they expected any. They have assumed the job of continuing to publish a pharmaceutical publication for only one personal purpose: to study, write, and learn more of their own profession and in doing so help make their public cognizant of the students desire to promote pharmacy.

PITT PRIDE FORMS, ROLLS AHEAD WITH PROGRESS OF ERA Athletics has a large role in life at Pitt. Each student derives much of his or her sense of belonging to a great University family from the interest, participation. and pride in its athletic teams. Pitt teams have played the best opponents in thirteen intercollegiate sports, and have been rewarded with overall success for their determination, hard work, and preparation. All players, intercollegiate and intramural, have received more than mere exercises from their sports. In the close associations and friendships formed, the lessons of teamwork, cooperation, loyalty and sportsmanship learned, there are rich dividends, and a better understanding on one’s own capacities and abilities. Our contests have provided a huh for the spokes and rim of the wheel of student, faculty and community enthusiasm and pride in Pitt to form ami roll ahead in the progress of this great University. As more facilities are added, enjoyment and benefit should increase. Thomas J. Hamilton Director of Athletics A football Saturday at Pitt .Stadium . . . A TIME FOR SPIRIT AND A TIME FOR VICTORY Slowly but surely Coach Johnny M i die loser j'a Panthers are showing the nation that a team unversed in theatrics and siight-of-hand magic tricks can play winning football. For the second consecutive year Pitt finished in the upper echelon of gridiron powers— and they did it with a relentless, hard driving ground attack anti a sturdy defense. Throughout the season fans could he heard muttering that the Panthers didn't give the customers their money’s worth. “All they do is run off tackle and up the middle” was a common complaint. It might be added that they also won more than their share of ball games. Every fan in the stadium knew who had the ball when the Blue and Gold was on the attack. They could clearly sec Corny Salvatcrra take the snap hack from Charley Brueckman and hand off to Corky Cost, Ralph Jelic, Tom Jenkins, Jim Theodore, or any of a host of good running backs. And, if they knew anything about football they could clearly see Boh Pollock, Herman Canil, Bob Rosborough, and Joe Walton opening up giant holes in the defensive line to enable the backs to grind out valuable yardage. They could see Dan Wisniewski and Vince Soorsone quickly pull out of the line and cut down the defending hacks with the precision of a McCormick reaper during the harvest. 'Phis was the way the Panthers played. They didn’t depend u|H n tricks of any sort to win hall games. They used talented material and coached them to perfection in the fundamentals of the game- and it worked In-tter than any razzle-dazzle that numerous coaches have used at Pitt since Jock Sutherland left in 1938. The Panthers played as tough a schedule as any team in the country, and lost only two games—to California and Minnesota—while winning seven and playing a seven-seven tie with Penn State. This was the best brand of football seen in the 268 stadium in almost two decades. And the fans stopped complaining long enough to set an all time high in home attendance-which proves that any type of winning football is spectacular. FRONT ROW: I’. Prince, J. Flora, I).

Corky was noted for his adeptnesa at returning the pigskin in the 1956 season, racking up 188 yards on kickoff returns. Co-captain and End Joe Walton—Pill All-American JOE WALTON ALL-AMERICAN Joe Walton capped a brilliant college career by becoming Pitt's thirty-seventh All-American football player. The hurley end, who excelled both on offense and defense, made every one of the mythical teams selected and finished high up in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, annually awarded to the outstanding college football player. Joe, the son of the late Frank “Tiger” Walton, a star Pitt tackle during the early 1930 s, led the nation in touchdown catches in 1955 and tied for the lead this season. On defense he constantly piled up opposing plays and made sensational tackles, causing Duke coach Bill Murray to say that he’s “unmatched at smashing end runs.” The Oul proudly congratulates a true All-American, both as a player and as a classmate. 275 Corny Salvatcrrn break away for a ten-yard gain in the Oregon game. “Sal was voted the most valuable player for 1956 by hi teammate , and for good reason, too. Leader in rushing and passing. Corny gained a total of 891 yards. Against .Minnesota, naipu jtuu make football look like ballet in his attempt to taeklc Gopher back Billy Cox. On the offensive, Jclic was one of Pitt's leading ground gainers with an average of 5.7 yards per carry. Pat Gramas, sophomore cheerleader, yell “arc you ready.” The spirit shown by the cheerleaders undoubtedly was a factor in the winning record turned in by the football team. 276 Benny Benack goes wild” during the Penn State game. Benack, arranger and assistant director of the-Varsity Marching Band, was quite popular for his rendition of “When the Saints Come Marching In.” Joe Walton, Head Coach John Michelosen, Jim McCusker, Dick Bowen, Dale Brown, and Coach Jack Wiley whoop it up after it was announced that the Panthers were Gator Bowl bound. Doubt and protest are mirrored in the facet of these I'it t roofers who traveled to Jacksonville, Florida, to watch the Pitt Panthers battle the Engineer of Georgia Tech.

The Panthers completely dominated the statistics, just as they did last January in the Sugar Howl, hut lacked the necessary scoring punch when they got inside the Tech 30-yard line. F.xperts predicted that the IIambling Wrecks, the top defensive team in the nation, and the big, hard hitting Panthers would engage in a defensive battle with the possibility of one touchdown winning the game. Although one touchdown did decide the outcome, both teams opened up and turned the game into an offensive thriller, with the southerners coming out on top, 21-14. Over 400 student followers of Pitt football made the journey to Jacksonville, Florida, to root for the Blue and Gold in one of their finest efforts. The Panthers lost, hut they surely weren't beaten.

Struggling from behind the entire game, Pitt scored its second touchdown in the third quarter when Corny Salvatcrra rolled his way over the goal line climaxing a 72-yard drive. However, Pitt could score no more against their foes from Georgia, and Tech wound up the winner for the second straight year against Pitt iu bowl competition, 21-14. GROUP AT LEFT: R.

During regular season play the Blue anti Gold posted an impressive 15-9 record against some of the nation s toughest college teams. Included in the record were victories over Geneva and perennially strong Duquesnc for the Steel Bowl championship and wins over Seton Hall and Western Kentucky to carry them into the finals of the Orange Bowl Tournament where they bowed to Connecticut in an overtime tussle. leading the Panthers this season, as they have for the past three years, were co-captains Bob Lazor and John Kiser.

All past and present members of the University family glory in the previews which have been given of forthcoming developments. We are gathering here an able student body, an outstanding faculty, and the most skillful fund raisers, managers, and planners. The future is already upon us in a surging flood of good things. Dr. Stanton C. Crawford Dean of the Faculties CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE During your four years at Pitt, our faculty has sought two objectives for your education: to introduce you to a number of fields of learning, and to teach you to apply systematic and critical ways of thinking to the subjects you have studied. 1 hope you will remember the significance of their efforts. The first suggests that learning never ceases, that we have only been introduced to the vast storehouse of knowledge which has been developed through the centuries and to which we add constantly. The second suggests that having learned sound ways of thinking, sound methods for attacking problems, evaluating ideas or studying issues, we must continue to apply rational and critical thinking outside the classroom as well as in. Your habits of study and thought must now he transferred to professional journals, handbooks and manuals, in-service training programs in your career field, and to self-directed reading and studying in the world of affairs which may shape your happiness and success as it shapes that of all of us. There is a corollary to these suggestions. Just as you continue the learning process, so we, on our part, pledge our efforts to see that Pitt continues to offer educational services to you. Through publication of educational journals, through alumni seminars, through other publications and meetings, we at Pitt will attempt to implement our conviction that learning never stops, and that our ties with you shall ever be more immediate, more scholarly, and more personal, than those accomplished merely through the alumni fund and the gaiety of reunions. May we make this a joint endeavor and find success in it. Chancellor Edward II. Litchfield FORERUNNERS OF A “NEW ERA” Dr. John Gabberl Bowman 1921-1945 Dr. Rnftiii II.

Lanfear Dean of the School of Business Administration Students in the School of Business Administration are indeed fortunate to be in school at a time when a new phase of progress is just starling at the University and coincides with the great new developments in the city and the nation. They are in school at a time when business leaders arc giving a new emphasis to the importance of management, as is evidenced by the way management development programs are being sponsored by industry over the country. This Atomic Age, however, requires people with ability, initiative, imagination, and a willingness to work. I hope our students will not take seriously the idea so often heard relative to security from the cradle to the grave. There is no security except that which the individual makes for himself. Pitt students of Business Administration have never had a greater opportunity. May they accept the challenge and move forward with the spirit of Pitt and the times. Doan Vincent Lanfcar, Chancellor Rdward II. Litoliliehl. and Dr. Albert an Dumd, assistant chancellor in charge of planning and development were on band when the newly-installed electronic computer, nerve center of a new University data processing center, was formally put into operation. PITTSBURGH INDUSTRY GR There is little doubt that Pittsburgh is the most important industrial community in the nation. Nowhere else does the field of industry offer so great an opportunity to the college graduate. With this thought in mind, the School of Business Administration has taken unto itself the task of preparing students for positions of responsibility open to both men and women today in the field of business and commerce. Since its founding in 1908, the School has sought to establish a sound business education for its students, bring about an understanding of the relationships between individuals, business and the community, and disseminate knowledge in the field of economic ami business affairs.

With its fast, easy manner of adding and subtracting long columns of figures, it helped many a student find an answer to his problems. 310 THE COLLEGE More than a century ago, Pudd’nhcad Wilson advised his friends, “let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will he sorry.” Had he been the dean of a college, he doubtless would have told his students, “So do your work day by day that examination time will be vacation time for everybody but the instructors.” I heartily recommend both views, and suggest that there is a close relationship between them. On entering college, every student opens a new era in bis life which can and should be a glorious period of growth. Pudd’n-head’s advice provides a good basis for making it so. I)r.

Today, the College in the University of Pittsburgh is the direct descendant of that pioneer institution. Of all the schools in the University the College is by far the least specialized. In general practice it does not attempt to train its students in one narrow field—rather it seeks to endow in its graduates, through a liberal education, the ability to lead an effective and satisfying life. Because such an education most fully brings out the full potentialities of an individual, it provides the best foundation for further professional training, for an executive career in business and industry, for leadership in community affairs, and administration class. BASIS FOR SUCCESS even for a successful family life. To achieve its purpose, the College has developed a program to enable the student to study a variety of dissimilar fields and to see their relationship and to teach him to assemble facts and draw reasonable conclusions from them. From such subjects as geology, chemistry, physics, and biology lie learns to understand his world. From history, languages, and sociology he learns to understand his fellowman. and from psychology and philosophy he learns to understand himself. Through English, speech, and journalism he learns to express what he has learned. If the University were the entire solar system, the College would surely be the sun. In addition to classroom instruction students seek guidance through the offices of the Dean of Men and Dean of Women. Here Jack Hardman, assistant clean of men. counsels Ed Bernstein, (aillege '38. 3 J 9 In search for a quiet place to study, many students found the solitude of the University libraries an ideal atmosphere.

The facilities of the new Schools of the Health Professions Building for teaching and research, the expanding possibilities of preventing further dental caries while utilizing the excellent present methods of correcting “dental ills,” and the added hope of a new clinic building, give one solace in the knowledge that, while much has been done, much more can and will be done. Under this “New Era” the dental student gains a great deal, for these expanding facilities immeasurably advance his education and, consequently, his usefulness to the community as a whole. Dr. William E. Swanson Dean of the School of Dentistry 321 Besides working on patient in the infirmary, a different aspect of dentistry is approached in the dent school laboratories. Articulating and waxing dentures arc a few of the jobs performed by the dentistry student. Should any of the students in the dental infirmary run into difficulties a group of doctors is available at all times to help them. Here a student is show n discussing a problem with one of the doctors. James Hodges, a junior in the School of Dentistry, gains valuable experience working on a patient in the dental infirmary. 322 SATISFIES DENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF COMMUNITY This year the School of Dentistry moved its pre-rlinical instruction for freshmen and sophomores to the ultra-modern, newly erected Schools of the Health Professions building. It is a nine story structure with a common student center, a library, lecture and seminar rooms, laboratories and an auditorium. Since the general pur| o c of the School of Dentistry—-just as any dental education facility—depends on the dental health needs of the community ami the ever growing responsibilities modern dentistry must face, its ability to turn out expert practitioners year in ami year out must be unfailing. To accomplish this, the School select only the students best qualified to become successful dentists, presents a curriculum and training program enabling every graduate to be qualified and competent to begin the practice of dentistry, ami maintains a postgraduate program to increase the effectiveness of the practicing dentist in both knowledge and skill. For the undergraduate students, the School includes a branch of the Student American Dental Association, three chapters of national dental fraternities. Dental Student Council, and numerous honors and cash awards for outstanding achievement. The library of the School of Dentistry is quite extensive, containing 27.000 bound volumes, 10.000 pamphlets, ami 11.000 journals—some in foreign languages, covering the field from the earliest known works on dentistry in Latin to the most current findings.

Today more than ever before Americans arc turning to education for leadership in the struggle to make the world free. They are expressing serious concern for the role that our schools must assume in the years ahead. Those who arc planning to become teachers of merica’s youth must face this challenge with scholarship and vision. As students in a great university entering a .Nc s Era of growth and development they will have an unusual opportunity to prepare themselves for the important responsibilities of education in the critical years of the twentieth century just ahead. Dr. Paul II. Masoner Dean of the School of Education 327 SCHOOL OF EDUCATION v PREPARES EDUCATORS IN A CHANGING SOCIETY It lias become apparent that the profession of teaching increasingly characterized by specialized techniques and knowledge requires specialized preparation. Essential to the successful pursuit of teaching is a knowledge of the nature of students and the learning process, the function of education in a changing society, and the management of educational institutions in accordance with a modern educational philosophy. Although the state requires that teachers have special ized preparation, the School of Education feels that its responsibility is more than merely helping its students meet legal specifications. It has built a program that best prepares educators to assume qualified positions by setting standards high above requirements of state certification. To accomplish this, the School has drawn freely upon the resources of the other schools of the University, and in some cases, asked them to offer special courses for the students of the School of Education. Students are carefully selected for the School, and those who do qualify arc licl| cd to select the curriculum best suited for them, and urged to consider fields where the need for education workers is greatest. In addition to training, the School of Education, through studies of educational problems, endeavors to advance the frontiers of existing knowledge. Audio visual aids is a required subject for student in the School of Fducation before a permanent college certification is granted to teach in Pennsylvania. 328 Joe Brennan of Pitt puts to practice what lie has learned ns he instructs the fourth grade students of Falk School in sentence structure. Margaret Montgomery, senior in the School of Education, paints her note box whirl) she made as a project in her elementary art class. I)r. Blanche Jefferson, assistant professor of Education, instructs her students on how to make inexpensive crafts. Such knowledge will come in handy when the students assume their jobs as teachers.

SCHOOLS OF ENGINEERING AND MINES What new development can one predict for the future when already 1500 mile-an-liour flight is a reality and electronic computers can translate Russian faster than the best linguist. A few of the many new development which appear in the future are: 1. Electronic artificial sight. 2. Solar ami atomic power for “have-not” nations. 3. Intercontinental communication which will transmit, translate, ami type the spoken word. 4. The conquest of gravity and “frcc-flight.” 5. Roads which move as conveyor belts while the motorists simply drive on or off the belt at interchanges. I he schools of Engineering and Mines will be in the midst of the development activity which will make these new things available. Dr. G. R. Fittcrer Dean of the Schools of Engineering and Mines All Htudcnt engineer's studies do not take place in the classroom. A senior electrical engineering lab group inspects the construction of a high current transformer at the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Coin pany transformer plant. The new Engineering Hall is the center of the student engineer s classes. Included in the building arc modern classrooms, laboratories, a modern library, and a wind tunnel. TECHNICAL EXPERTS FOR AN INDUSTRIAL MECCA Originally the Schools of Engineering and Mines, the first such schools west of the Alleghenies, were organized and operated separately. Engineering degrees were first given in 1816 and the School of Mines was set up in 1895. Since 1922. however, the two have operated under the same administrative dean, although still retaining their own identities. Their location in such an industrial mecca as Pittsburgh gives the Schools of Engineering and Mines an advantage most other technical schools do not have. The direct contact between engineering teachers and engineers and officials of industry, and the proximity of actual use of engineering techniques can only help to boost the Schools to a high national ranking. In addition to merely teaching the students fundamental sciences, techniques and principles of their field of specialization, the Schools endeavor to develop a questioning degree of curiosity in their students and encourage them to contribute through these skills to the welfare and improvement of our society. Realizing that the engineer must also take his place as a member of the community, the Schools attempt to instill in the student the ability to analyze his problems not only on the scientific level, but from the social, economic, and human viewpoint. Engineering and Mines graduates are thus not only technical experts, hut men qualified as employers, teachers, ami civic leaders. V new. modern, scientific library, located atop the Engineering Hall, provide a comfortable atmosphere where the physical science and engineering students can supplement class studies. The library contains books from the science-technology library besides new volumes donated to the library. Edward Cebbardt and Hill Patterson, metallurgical engineers, test a metal rod in a tensile testing machine. Housing the department of physics and many of the engineering laboratories is Thaw Hall. The building, one of the older land marks of Pitt, is located adjacent to the new Engineering Hall. An essential part of the engineer's studies consists of lalwiratory work, where the engineer can gain valuable experience toward bis future career.

We believe that health reflects the measure of man's control over his environment and makes possible the maximum development of each individual according to his capacity, his needs, and his interests. The responsibility for comprehensive health service is a joint one in which the nurse makes a unique contribution to the promotion of health, the prevention of disease, and the rehabilitation of the disabled. Graduates of the Pitt program will assist in the attainment of these health goals wherever they serve.

Eiiersiie, Md. 348 'Flic inauguration of Chancellor Litchfield and the completion of the Schools of the Health Professions Building herald the opening of a “New Era” for students of Pharmacy. To meet the challenge of providing excellent students and alumni who will carry the fame of the University throughout the nation and the world, a program in cooperative education has been devised for the sister professions who make up the health care team. Living, studying, and working together while preparing for a satisfying career of service to mankind offers the opportunity for continued advances in improving the public's health after formal education has ended. This is an exciting possibility for all who are a part of the School of Pharmacy and the entire field of the health professions. Dr. Edward C. Keif Dean of the School of Pharmacy 349 SCHOOL OF PHARMACY COOPERATES WITH OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONS Accuracy i a must for the student pharmacist. Although the Pharmacy School can trace its ancestry hack to the founding of the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy in 1878, it did not legally become a part of the University until 1918. Since then it has riaeji to take its place as an integral part of the Health Center along with the other schools of the Health Professions. In addition to equipping young men and women for successful careers in the held of pharmacy, the School also seeks to establish the idea of cooperation with members of other health professions, familiarize the student with the principles of good business to make him economically competent, ami to enable the student to become professionally capable of contributing to advances of pharmacy in the future. To accomplish these aims, the School of Pharmacy has initiated a program that creates a balance between scholastic and extra curricular activities. 'I'he School maintains a medicinal plant garden, a natural laboratory for the observation of drug plant growth. Kacli year various species of drug and medicine yielding plants are collected and studied by the undergraduate students. Junior and senior classes annually visit laboratories of large drug manufacturers and observe the manufacturing, standardization, and distribution of pharmaceutical products on a large scale. The Pharmacy School also makes use of a library, an Alumni Xotvs llecieic, ami a student council to turn out pharmacists proudlv able to bear the title ‘'Product of Pitt.” A few pharmacy student take a break during a pharmacology laboratory class. The pharmacy laboratories arc now located in the new School of the Health Professions building. Whether a preparation be liquid or dry, the measurements must be accurate. In the picture, students arc obtaining chemicals to make u few drug prescriptions. Valuable ex|� erience is gained in the pharmacy laboratories . An exam on their laboratory work consists of preparing a number of prescriptions in a limited amount of time. Although most pharmacies have all the prescriptions ever needed completely prepared, it isn't known when the pharmacist will have to make up a preparation for a patient. This is the purpose of the laboratory exam being taken as the above picture was snapped. PHARMACY • SENIORS Adams, Adelson, Alloway, lirandwein, Drown, Buerger, Chontas, Clement. Milford S.

The challenge of the future is not in our capacity to produce but in our capacity to distribute the almost unlimited production of our farms and factories. If our standard of living is to continue to improve, bold new concepts of distribution must be developed and applied. More and more young people will find their greatest chance for service and personal achievement in this area. Pitt’s School of Retailing, which has pioneered in education and research in distribution, will continue to further its development of college graduates for the challenges of executive leadership in the “New Era” ahead. Dr. Albert II. Smith Dean of the School of Retailing 353 This retailing conference with Dean Smith indicate that even business problem have an occasional amusing slant. ONLY GRADUATE RETAILING SCHOOL IN U.S. “My Fair Lady fashions of 1912 and their current fashion inspirations are dixcussed by the students and lecturer, .Mr . Mac Stern (second from right). The chief objective of the School of Retailing is to provide an opportunity for men and women college graduates to prepare themselves for positions of responsibility in the field of retailing and in other fields in which the knowledge of retailing is an asset. This objective is reached through a one-year program which combines classroom work and in-store executive development. Cooperating with the School in the program arc prominent stores in major eastern and midwestern cities. The initial beginnings of the School of Retailing reach back to the year 1918 when Pittsburgh retailers and educators first voiced the need for development of college graduates as junior executives of retailing. Since then, the School has expanded its activities from the original area of personnel to include all phases of retailing, and has develop'd into one of the country’s foremost schools of retailing with world-wide recognition. From the modern nineteenth and twentieth floors of the Cathedral of Learning are graduated some of the highest cjual-ificd young men and women who enter the world of retailing and develop to become merchandising, advertising, personnel, management, and control executives. Graduates of the School earn the Master of Retailing degree. They arc trained to think like executives, to appreciate the responsibilities and problems of the executive, and to work with and for others. Students so trained rise quickly on the job and, decoding upon personal initiative, reach top positions in the fast-moving world of retailing. Pitt has the distinction of having the only exclusively graduate School of Retailing. E. Pcnsyl (third from right) of Ketchum, MacLeod Grove, Inc. explains creative advertising to retailing students touring the advertising agency. 354 Students examine professional advertising and create their own advertisements. Professor Robert Entenberg and a student group review statistics which have been accumulated by students in retailing research.

As a representative of 47,000 other Pitt alumni I’d like to tell you how pleased we are to have you become one of us. To be an alumnus of a university after having been for four years its student is perhaps a strange feeling. Inevitably the first sense is of separation, of having completed the final phase in a relationship which—no matter how pleasant or dear—is no longer useful. Vet in truth there is no reason for this feeling. Pitt graduates today are entering into a new relationship with their school, not simply ending an old one. In the current thought at Pitt the forming product, the student, and the finished product, the alumnus, are both of major importance. The years ahead will show this new role to all of us. Defining it will be a stimulation wc can look forward to, now and in the future. Gus W. Wilde President, General Alumni Association Officers: Gus W. Wilde, president; J. Clyde Barton, secretary; Dr. Raymond J. Englert, second vice president; Reuben W. Saunders, treasurer. Gus W. Wilde, president of the General Alumni Association and graduate of the College class of 1943. ADVERTISING TODAY’S DREAMS ... TOMORROW’S REALITIES TO BE ENJOYED BY THE MASSES Advertising’s future realities arc the present’s dreams. Through advertising as a complimentary sales tool, the luxuries enjoyed only by the classes have become conveniences utilized by the masses. Dreams that appear in the testing laboratories of today will, by mass production and mass distribution. be reduced in unit cost so that all of the public may enjoy the products. Mass production, however, cannot be accomplished until sales and consumer acceptance and consumer demand are built up by advertising. Therefore, advertising will play a major role in making our national economy work. Advertising is a practical profession. Its chief use is to help a business make more money through the sale of its products and services. Our courses here at the University will serve the several functions in the development of men and women for this important activity. Utmost in our future thinking is the fact that students of advertising entering the business world will carry with them a sense of the social responsibility of advertising that cannot help but be a good influence for advertising as a profession and for the community at large.

Your education may very well be the perfect background for one of the more than 20 well-paying positions in a bank. One of-every five and a half banking employees is an officer. A greater portion of graduates who pursue a hanking career attain the $7500 to $10,000 per year bracket than those in any other business. These statistics apply in many cases to both men and women in banking, since 10% of banking officials arc women. Banking is out ahead of most other fields in the important matter of fringe benefits. The average bank employee receives an additional $24 in fringe benefits for every $100 in salary. A career in banking offers the opportunity to further your education if you so desire. Many banks offer free courses in money, credit, banking, economics, and other allied subjects. Banking is a profession of prestige and respect. Few fields offer the college graduate such opportunities. Look ahead, weighing your talents and ambitions, and then answer this question: What about a banking career... for you?

The 1957 Old, published by and for the students of the University of Pittsburgh, was one year’s work of a staff of 64. To these staffers I want to extend my sincere congratulations on a job well done. I can only say that of the four yearbook staffs at Pitt that I have had the privilege to work on, the 1957 staff worked the hardest, got the work done the quickest, and in my estimation put out the “best book ever.” The 48 editorial staffers and the 16 business staffers who worked on the 1957 Old arc listed at the left. To run through their names again and enumerate all their loyal services devoted to the Old would take up an endless number of pages. I do want to take this opportunity, however, to say-thanks to them for their time and services rendered and to call attention to some special services of staff members and contributors which should be accredited. First of all, I must say that Mazic Ann was a “true associate” editor. She knew the book from cover to cover and spent diligent hours reading copy and helping coordinate staff functions. I can never thank her enough; but “I’ll spend my life trying!” Gene Reinbold was exactly what a business manager should be. He cooperated in everything for the betterment of staff and yearbook. Gene’s staff had the best communications of any yearbook business staff with the student body. This fact is evidenced by the increase of 1050 senior pictures in the book and an increase in sales. As the reader can see, a yearbook is mostly pictures. Special credit in this line goes to Rob Hawxhurst whose time and devotion to the book is more than one can add up. Rob’s aerial photos of the campus which arc in the front of the book and on the end sheets also deserve special merit. Thanks also goes to Rob’s photo staff. Photogs such as Walt Sickles were the backbone of the book. Resides pictures, copy is important to the complete story of the school year. Al Pelaez, along with Chris Gillotti. deserve much thanks. They put in endless hours and always managed to meet the deadlines. To all staff writers, typists, section editors and their assistants, I can only commend their work most highly. It was nothing but exceptional. Thanks goes to Win. J. Keller’s and Jewell Gates. Don Messinger, and Rlair Schrccongost for the best in reproduction. Ralph Benz of S. K. Smith Covers and Sam Fields of Delma Photo Studios cooperated wonderfully. On the local scene, I want to thank Fran Pray, Agnes Starrctt, Jane Shaw, Tom Coleman, Tom Jarrett, and Dean Riddle and the other faculty and administration who contributed to our efforts in book publishing. Special credit goes to contributor Lou Halprin for his snow pictures (pages 216 and 245) and Stewart Love and the Pittsburgh Press for the picture of Pittsburgh with lights aglow (pages 398 and 399). To Dr. Donald E. Swarts, director of Student Publications, I am deeply-devoted. I feel that throughout my four years at Pitt I have learned much through his guidance, not only as an advisor to an editor, but as man to man. I want to thank, too, the University of Pittsburgh for giving me an education and a chance that only 50 other persons received—the chance to serre Pitt as its yearbook editor for one year. There are two persons that I purposely saved last to thank, because I owe them the most—thanks! 1 would like to thank my mother and father the most. For they too helped in this yearbook production, if for no other reason than they were behind inc all the way. Thanks mom and dad, too, for a job well done. Thomas C.
