In 1759, the brick stockade and rude log cabins clustered together at the junction of the three great rivers dropped the name “Fort Pitt” and became incorporated as the city of Pittsburgh. Twenty-eight years later, soon after the turmoil of a revolution, while Pittsburgh was still a rough brawdy frontier town, a charter was granted for a log cabin school—the Western Pennsylvania Academy. Since that time the city and its University have survived fire, flood, war and depression. Pittsburgh has grown into a rich industrial, city while the University has kept pace with this growth until it is now as well-known internationally for its educational achievements as the city is famed for its industry. Pittsburgh’s recent Renaissance from the dirty, ugly, mill town of twenty years ago has shown the world that a city can be commercial without being an eyesore; it can be productive but still embrace beauty and culture. The University of Pittsburgh is undergoing a change much like the city’s renaissance. Its new administration, the acquisition of new buildings and land, striving toward higher standards of education, and a revolutionary trimester program are bringing to Pitt a brighter future and a worldwide recognition as a university that is, like its city, advancing with the twentieth century. As a salute to the Bicentennial, the 1959 OWL is dedicated to the city of Pittsburgh, and to the students who have found its industrial climate ideal for the assimilation of a University education.
