ALAN MAGEE SCAIFK, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. . . 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
