 As the University of Pittsburgh celebrated its 190th anniversary on February 18th of this year, Wesley Wentz Posvar marked his 10th year as Chancellor of the University, June 1, 1977. Pitt was just becoming state-related back then so tuition for Pennsylvania residents fell from $1,400 to $450 per year. However 1976-1977's tuition has since climbed to S1,266 per year. Pitt’s enrollment has doubled since 1967 to 19,425 undergraduates during 1976-1977 and the expenditures budget has expanded to about $179,800,000—now-making the University the largest employer in the City of Pittsburgh. Since Dr. Posvar’s arrival, Pitt has added new research centers in the areas of Ethnic Heritage, International Studies, Arms Control, International Securities, and Urban Research, in addition to the School of Health Related Professions. The Department of Life Sciences was also founded with the consolidation of the Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Microbiology Departments. New departments as black studies, environmental engineering, history and philosophy of science, crystallography, medical technology and health records administration have also occurred under the auspices of Dr. Posvar. Such changes at Pitt verify Dr. Posvar’s own summation—“We’ve been through growth and rapid change through financial stringency and austerity.” Pitt shall continue to grow and thrive as Wesley and Mildred Posvar (shown above) enter their second decade as Pitt’s first couple.
