1735 022 398 758 [4] Foreword These pages are a pictorial and written account of life at the University of Pittsburgh‘ in 1943-44, of its student body and faculty affected by total war. The days of five civilian men to every girl are gone. Gone, too, are all—male Cap and Gown showsgsaucy Pitt Panthers,‘ jammed elevator rides to high—altitude classes; big—tin1e student politics; Spring Festival float parades; formals and big-name bands. In their place are first and ground floor classes; hikes to State, Thaw, and Alumni Halls; professors with heavy civilian and military schedules; Air Corps and AST’s; Pitt News and Owl offices sharing Locker Room 3; smells of chow; busy barber shops; forty eyes turned left and an accompanying “hrr-rufi”; and soldiers in single file walking 03 “gigs” along Heinz Chapel Walk. But to us who remain campus life is a lot more. It is a spirit of determiniation to keep alive the ideals of the University: friendly ‘fireside chats, informal conferences with professors, hours of brows- ing in the libraries or listening to symphonies in the music room, and participation in University activities. It is also a spirit of determination to prepare ourselves mentally and physically to fight for the treasured rights to freedom and happiness. As you page through this book, casually or carefully, you will find us firm, determined, proud, and eager. VVe are Pitt—at war. [94] SCHO0L 0F “The old order changeth; yielding place to the new.” lVIost of the medical students are in uniform, some army, some navy, the boys spend part of their time caring for the medical needs of the military stationed at Pitt. All courses have been accelerated, Vacations have been shortened, classes, textbooks have taken on a new significance . . . all this is new. But “Bill” is still here. “Bill” is Dr. VVilliam S. McEllroy, dean of the school and a former Pitt man himself . . . because of Dr. McEllroy’s sincere interest in the individual problems of the individual students, the meds turn to him for guidance. From assistant instructor to dean, Dr. l\1cEllroy has risen within the department. He works on the staffs of lVIagee Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, the Presbyterian Hospital, and the St. Francis Hospital. All his spare*(?) time is spent in research... studies of blood pigment, protein and iron, and anemics. MEDICINE W. S. MCELLROY, M. D. Medical School Faculty No school can rise above the least man on its faculty! \Vith that basic concept, the University can be proud of the School of Medicine, for the men who serve on the medical staff are the best available in their respective fields. Headed by Dr. \Villiam S. NIcEllroy, himself a graduate of the University, the staff spent last year training students under war-time conditions. Dr. l\IcEllroy, since his graduation in 1916, worked at the University as instructor, professor, and assistant dean of the school of medicine, and has always been the friend of student and professor. Year by year, the school has grown in physical equipment and in student body. The old l\Iellon Institute has became the home of freshmen and sophomores . . . the new Presby- terian Hospital, the psychiatry hospital add dignity and strength to the medical campus. Today most of the students are in uniform . . . some army, some navy. Courses have been expedited . . . trimesters take the place of long summer vaca- tions A serious note is introduced, for staff and students alike realize the national need for doctors. Colonel Albert Smith Dabney is back . . . he invented a new field ambulance, picked up a decoration, and headed home to Pittsburglfs R.0.T.(f. It was he who organized the first R.O.T.C. medical unit here in 1921. Basically, the essentials are the same. Dr. Charles Ziegler and Dr. James Heard are still inspiring their students. The medical staff now serves the nation as well as the University. COL. A. S. DABNEY, Assistant Dean [95] [96] MEDICAL ROBERT J. ALTMEYER—Tarentum . . . Nu Sigma Nu . . . Chi Rho N11 ERVIN L.

Nu Sigma Nu was founded at the University of Michigan by a small group of students headed by W. J. Mayo . . . that was fourty-four years ago and now the fraternity has grown to be the largest in the world. Nu Sigma Nu came to Pittsburgh when the University was the VVestern University of Pennsylvania . . . that was in 1895, and Nu Sigma Nu was the first national fraternity on campus. Today they boast over five hundred alumni. The brothers emphasize scholar- ship, fellowship and character . . . the fellowship is taken care of at the monthly meetings at the University Club where the brothers meet to eat, drink and listen . . . especially to listen to one of their distinquished alumni speak to them. And twice a year, Nu Sigma Nu forgets the academic side of fraternity life and entertains at dinner dances. Pres . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Robert Pringle V. Pres . . . . . . . . .Norman A.

Some professors admit a student can learn more in a bull session than in several lectures . . . at that rate, Phi Betas are on the beam. Every meeting of this national social fraternity turns into an informal social gathering where the gang has movies or guest speakers. Dr. Karl Mennenger, a leading psychia- trist and alumnus of Phi Beta Pi, was one outstanding guest. He is the head of the lVIennenger Psychiatric Clinic in Kansas. Jst r0w—“". Haeckler, R. Owrey, D.

PHI B110 SIGMA Medical school students look forward to their two weeks vacation in September only a bit more eagerly than the Phi Rho Sigs await their dances. l\Iaybe that special dinner dance was the drawing card that filled their pledge membership to its quota during the lVIarch rushing season. The members, in uniform or out, meet once a month to combine business and professional dis- cussions. Their social speed is tuned to their pro- fessional background. Guest speakers, often from the alumni chapter, are frequent visitors and movies are favorite instruction. (One would almost think the boys were reluctant to lay aside the scapel and pill box for a few hours.) Committee members of the VVar Bond Drive will point out that the Phi Rho Sigs are near the top of the list for bond purchases not only by individuals, but by the treasurer in the fraternity’s name.

Greater than ever is the demand for nurses and as the cry Went out for more and more, enrollment of pre—nursing students showed an upward swing. Making available all its resources to aid the school in their program, the University has adjusted itself to help train the hundreds of women needed in this war effort. Many of the girls in the School of Nursing already have enlisted in the Nurses Cadet Corp. At Magee Hall, where the girls receive their final training, war has meant hard work to the already am- bitious group. Duty on the floor has more than adequately supplemented classroom work. With the various trust funds increasing daily that make possible the granting of scholarships to young «women who want to enter this field, the School of Nursing has gained a permanent prominence in the University life.

[109] [110] SCHO0L 0F PHARMACY Under the guidance of their Dean, Dr. C. Leonard O'Connell, the School of Pharmacy has rounded up another year of accomplishments. A leader in many outstanding pharmaceutical organizations and a former president of Pennsyl- vania Pharmaceutical Association, Dr. O'Connell, through his own unselfish service to the community and his intense devotion to his chosen profession inspires the men under him. Realizing the example put before them by their dean, and their importance to the general war effort, the pharmaceutical students have really clamped down with increased studying. To in- crease their knowledge by actual practice, many of the boys work as assistants to pharmacists in various drug stores throughout the community. In spite of the accelerated program and the “khaki” rules the students of the school have surpassed their records of former years. DR . C.

An annual dinner for the alumni is given by the sorority at the College Club . . . and the mistletoe season finds an open party being held for all the girls in pharmacy school.

KAPPA PSI Every organization at the University of Pittsburgh can boast of members serving the war effort. Beta Kappa Chapter of Kappa Psi, one of the largest fraternities in the School of Pharmacy, is no exception. Formerly, the brothers were concerned with the matter of fact life of any fraternity . . . making laboratory experiments, reading papers before the American Pharmaceutical Association, and planning banner social events. Today, members of Kappa Psi can be found in the army and the navy. They are attached to base hospitals in the army; they go over- seas with hospital units; their fronts are the labora- tories on ships. Kappa Psi men take care of pre- scriptions; aid the physicians as far as they are able. Kappa Psi is participating actively to hurry the day when peace will come. Regent . . . . . . . . .T.

Egmore, Jr., associate professor in merchandising; VValter Sobotka, instructor in applied arts; Mildred Moren, office manager; Nancy L. Larson, instructor in salesman- ship and supervisor of service shopping; Albert B. Smith, Jr., assistant professor in retailing; and Lillian Friedman, assistant professor in personnel administration. The Retail Bureau was founded in another war year,—1918. Pittsburgh was hitting its stride in wartime production, a11d the downtown stores were crowded as they are now. Busy executives realize now, as they did then, the need for young people especially trained for store careers. The aims of the Retail Training Bureau are to give professional training to those planning to enter retailing and to those wishing to become more efficient in the field; to train special teachers and supervisors in retailing; to conduct investigations for the improvement of methods of selecting, training‘ and supervising the employees in retail stores. sumo: :‘ BISHOP BROWN Bureau students studying in the beautiful surroundings of the nineteenth floor.

RETAIL TRAINING In their modern offices, classrooms and laboratories on the nineteenth floor of the Cathedral, the students of the Bureau are acquiring a very sound background for store careers. The courses include advertising, sales promotion, personnel, fashion, industrial design, employ- ment methods, merchandising, store organization, and labor relations. These activities reflect the needs of the stores, especially now when the stores are faced with problems concerning personnel and operating. The staff is working with retailers on solutions and aids for these . Wartime situations. The students learn while they earn and their instructors are storewise buyers, copywriters, employment interviewers, floor managers, and merchandising men. They have the opportunity to sell, help with window displays, model, and become acquainted with all the backstage activities of the store, too. Stores in wartime have an even greater responsibility in educating customers to new materials and new merchandise, for they must aid in stopping panic buying and hoarding by explaining shortages and substitutes. In addition to all this, they have taken a vigorous part in promoting civil and national projects so important in wartime. In line with the govern- ment’s conservation program, they have used ads, special columns, booklets, radio programs, and store meetings to advise on the wear and care of clothing and furnishings to make them last for the duration. Stores have taken these activities as their patriotic duty and undertaken them with the same skill and zest that they used before the war in selling. Their dramatic presentations have proven that good deeds need not be dull. Retail Bureau Students of the VVartime Accelerated Classes of 1944. [119] [1201 SCHIIOL 0F APPLIED SGCIAL SCIENCES Dean Wilber Irvin Newstetter came to the University to establish the School of Applied Social Sciences in the fall of 1938. During these first five years there have been 236 men and women who have graduated with the degree of Master of Sciences in Social Administration. Those who are not serving with the armed forces are employed as Social VVorkers in case Work agencies, hospitals, settlements, community centers, the Y.VV.C.A., the Y.M. and VV.H.A., the Girl Scouts, and Red Cross in this country and abroad. These students came to the School after completion of undergraduate Work with a major in the social sciences from many colleges and universities in the United States and foreign countries. A recent development at the University of Pittsburgh is the plan for a Pre-Social Work Major in connection with the College and the School of Business Administration. WILBER I.

[123] HEINZ CHAPEL [7] SCHO0L 0F LAW The Law School of the University of Pittsburgh, founded in 1843 and moved on campus in 1936, has become an integral part of the University. It carries on its work by endeavoring to teach law in the “grand manner” and to make lawyers who will play an important part in the civic and business life of the community. This is done in the manner of teaching u11der the environment and spirit of the University, with all the University’s social, educational and cultural advantages. It takes seven years to gain a law degree, for Pitt is one of the minority who require college graduation before actual entrance into Law School. Although most of the law students are now in military service, the remaining students under the supervision of their Dean, Judson Adams Crane, are following along in accordance with the high standards set by those men who have gone before them.

The Emergency Student Government Committee took over SFA’s old duties with many innovations. Now, instead of an entire student representation, they have invited into their membership men from different companies of AST. This Student-AST group makes up the Co-op Committee. The social committee topped all social events with their after- football game dances at the Schenley where records and cokes flowed. Perhaps you saw some blonde lass with her skirt supporting a lap of shiny pennies. . . she was working in the spirit of the Penny Drive. ESGC collected 22,000 pennies in a short while. The Bond Drive and the War Fund were very successful projects and in keeping with the spirit of the day. Meetings held weekly in the Dean of lVIen’s office ROBERT R_ CAMPBELL are arranged to discuss business and plan future programs. [144] SUB COMMITTEES 0F E. S. G. C.

Cl1rist- mas Eve, they sang carols at the East End hospitals, and Air Cadets stationed at the University heard the choir’s songs on New Year’s l)ay. Every Sunday afternoon in Heinz Chapel, they furnished the “relief that music brings" to a congrega- tion of service men and civilians and sang for student holiday Services and the Candlelight presentation. Socially, the choir and its director, Professor Theodore Finney, had a successful Christmas party and a trip between semesters.

The council’s job, however, is more than just administering masculine activities on campus. Freshman Orientation is the task that requires character, spirit, and a real feeling for the University. The members in council are the advisors who take over the job of helping the new men accustom themselves to Pitt. A high spot in the program for the newcomers is Honor Court, held annually in Stephen Foster lVIemorial. At this time the freshmen men who showed the greatest advancement in academic studies and activities are awarded their gold Panther keys. The book exchange, sponsored in former years to help students sell used books, had to be discontinued this year. Pres . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

MEN’S DEBATE \Vartime travel conditions didn’t slow down the spirit of the hIen’s Debate Association one iota— their program was as full and extensive as ever. Their varied audiences included the State Peniten- tiary, the Sewickley Kiwanis Club, Kent College, and the Rodef Shalom Youth Club. The Pitt debaters were as enthusiastic about the biggest local event of the debating season, the annual High School Debate Tournament, as the high school student representatives of the twenty-five high schools which entered. VVith an eye to the future, the Association’s debaters spoke pro and con to their many audiences about the problems of the post-war world and Inter— American relations. Their big problem, of course, was the oflicial college debate topic dealing with the establishment and maintenance of a world police force.

Under the direction of “Pop” Finney twenty some men met twice a week to rehearse either in 3209 Cathedral or among the steam pipes and meters of the Heinz Chapel basement. Member- ship is only about half that of a pre-war club, but these would-be crooners are filled with the same amount of spirit that kept a larger club together. Due to war conditions, Pitt’s Glee Club did not make any tours during the last year, and it is un- likely that they will make any extensive trips for the duration of the war. Their yearly minstrel show was set aside for this year, and in its stead the boys worked along with the Pitt Players in their spring musical comedy.

They have taken these productions on the road, presented some at Community Houses, pre- sented all of them for the student body on campus, and last year, gave a special performance for the Air Corps. This year, all facilities and operations have been curtailed. The number of members was also li1nite(l because many of the former members are now in the Armed Services. But when Buell VVl1itel1ill, Director, called for technical and acting staffs, he stressed the fact that if people were interested and willing to work, the obstacles could be overcome. l\Iass meetings and staff meetings were held several times each month in preparation for a review, made up of a number of short skits.

Pres . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Bertha Yochim Sec.................Joanna Laffreda [152] Without music in our lives there is a void that can not be substituted and with the full realization of this fact, VVomen’s Choral was formed here at Pitt in order to increase interest in music and choral singing. Whether it is by gathering about the organ at Christmas time to carol, by joining the Men’s Glee Club in informal sings in the Commons Room, or by presenting Beaux Arts for the Freshmen; they induce in themselves and the student body the beauty of song. Highlighting the year's work is the Spring Concert which this year had a Chinese theme with the girl’s singing the musical version of Vachal Lindsey’s poem the “Chinese Nightingale”. VVith a purpose such as that of fostering an ap- preciation of good music in order to serve the Uni- versity, it can not help but remain a influential part of our University life. 1st 'row—LaVonne Alloway, Penn Burke, Martha Shissler, Beulah Meltzer, Florence Comensky, Phyllis Charie, Erma Bloch, Sylvia Morrison, Mary Orsini. 2nd row—Jacqueline Morris, Ruth Harris, Miriam Odle, Bernice Lewis, Rosemarie E.

Under the auspices of the U. S. Key Center of War Information, W.S.A. presented programs to various high schools, women’s clubs, and community groups. Stress was placed upon Economic problems of peace, women’s role in war, and peace and new education. With the help of the Y.W.C.A. they presented Caritas, and also helped the Women’s Choral with the Beaux Arts program. Another activity of the W.S.A. was their representing Pitt in the Inter-City Discussion League. W.S.A. has contributed its part to the war effort by keeping college women abreast to the world through open discussion.

Open to all races and creeds, the YWCA has concerned itself with coordinating the interests of different student groups. As a service organization the YWCA has pioneered in meeting campus and community needs. The girls have given their time knitting and collecting clothing for refugees and war afflicted children. They have worked in settlement houses, served at Canteens, sold VVar Bonds, and helped in the World Student Service Fund campaign. Realizing that victory cannot be complete without a stable postwar plan, the YWCA has discussed and planned a program for its members and for the world community of students. The YVVCA is helping to prepare students today to be worthy leaders tomorrow.

The Executive Com- mittee, presided over by Evelyn Ferguson, met each Nlonday to broaden plans for the work of its major committees. The Committee worked with the Com- mission to improve conditions for Pitt women and to draw up resolutions for Pitt after its return to normalcy. Like every campus organization, W'SGA has become engulfed in War work. The social committee helped to sponsor weekly dances for the AST and Sunday afternoon teas for the soldiers and their parents. An outstanding social event of the year was the Air Corps dance given in November for two thousand cadets and Pitt women. An employment Council and a VVaI‘ Activities Committee recruited girls for employment in the Cathedral to relieve the labor shortage. This feminine legislature is responsible for the Senior Queen Coronation, Lantern Nights, the revival of Inter-Class sings, Freshmen Customs exam, Green- Armband luncheons, awarding of merit scrolls, Officers Night, the furthering of high school relations, orientation for transfers, the publication of Vade Mecum, student housing administration, and student loans. VVSGA intends to bring every Pitt wo1nan_ into the government of school and to make her feel the spirit of cooperation that is so much a part of Pitt. This spirit is an aim with regard to the army men stationed here, the transfer students, and even the visiting high school girls.

For those who look upon the engineer as an inhabitant from another world, it's nice to know that they have some sort of organization—which happens to be the Cabinet. It sponsors a dance each semester that no engineer would dream of missing and their smokers are a rare bit of sociability between the departments. Advisor Summerville had a big part in the planning of the first civilian-ASTP students’ smoker, too. Sports—mushball and basketball leagues —do their share to keep up the spirit of rivalry among the groups. Chemical Engineers 1st row R. Frummerman, C. Ennis, VV. Stephenson, D. Schwartz, V.

And they have to be tops to maintain the 1.5 that is required of them. That is not the only high standard they have to maintain. Forty-five of their 120 hours must be in Chemistry; they must take two years of Physics and Math through Calculus. No snap course. Besides this, the American Chemical Society, of which most of the students are affiliates, has stiff require- ments of its own. The school has changed somewhat in character since the war. Now nearly half the enrollment is feminine, but the requirements and standards have seen little change. On the social side the Chems, prexied by Dave Heinz, have taken time out from their books for skating and bowling parties . . . even Dave Boodman and lV'Iilton Kcnser, the two top seniors. LUTHERAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION In following the Lutheran tradition of lending a helping hand to students, L. S. A. was founded here at Pitt over twenty-five years ago by the VVomen's Elissionary Society of Pittsburgh. l\/Ionthly meetings are held at one or the other of the three schools and are conducted in agreement with the club’s slogan, which is “Faith—Food and Fun." Activity this year was centered mainly on being host of the Eastern Area Conference of Lutheran Student Association of America where students from different colleges throughout the United States participated. Ever foremost in L. S. A. life is the purpose of stimulating the interest of students in their faith and to make it a part of their University life.

In November, Victor Stein, Vince Swegzda, Irma. Block, and Claire Labbie travelled to Philadelphia to represent the University at an International Relations Club convention.

BO 0O TO CC Reserve Officers Training‘ Corps is not the same organization today that it was a year ago this time. Last :\Iarch, when the government stopped issuing contracts to ROTC units, the advanced corps consisted of 93 men, and the basic corps numbered 800 men within its ranks. Now the advanced group is non-existant, and there is a total of barely 125 men in the basic. Upon reception of the government order last spring, one-third of the seniors reported to OCS at Fort 1\1onroe in June. Two—thirds of the seniors returned to Pitt Company D of the AST, after their basic training, and shipped out for ()(‘.S to Camp Davis in September. [176] M/S TOM R. NICHOLSON, SGT. PHILIP M. COX, JR., CPL. GEORGE C. BAGLOW. R. 0. T. C. The juniors of the advanced corps, after their basic training, returned to Pitt as the new Conipany l) in November and were ordered to OCS at Fort Benning in :\[arch. Instead of the coastal defense and anti-aircraft training that the basic corps used to receive the men are now being trained along lines tl1at will prove useful in any branch of the service. All of the traditional ceremonies of the Corps, which were dependent greatly upon the advanced ROT 7, have been eliminated for the duration. Social activities have been curtailed, and Scabbard and Blade, iI1 accordance with its contract, has gone inactive till the war is over.

Extra drill follows ROTC class for them on Saturdays and they meet each Tuesday during drill hour. Captain Thomas NI. Bricker, the guiding light of Pitt Rifles, went all out with them to make the Miniature Military Ball an adequate substitute for Pitt’s former leading social event. Postwar plans include the re-establishment of the lVIilitary Ball and the increase in membership to eighty men. MINIATURE MILITARY BALL Pitt Rifles’ second annual lVIiniature Military Ball went high hat Thanksgiving Eve and blew itself to a turn at the Twentieth Century Club. Chairman Bill Veenis spun Ursula Halloran out onto the floor and 195 couples followed to the sweet and swing tunes of Bill Hinds‘ Orchestra. The dance was opened to the public this year and while the cadets attended in traditional ROTC. uniforms, their dates and outsiders discontinued the practise of formal dress.

One of the most successful dances of the season was the IF Ball, chairmaned by Bob Burford, which took place in the Imperial Room of the Hotel lVebstcrv Hall on December 11. Delta Tau Delta won the IF Sing, with Pi Kappa Alpha placing second. The Pi KA's also captured the IF touch football league title, with Phi Epsilon Pi taking second place. Interfraternity Council is a smaller organization than before the war, but it is still getting big things done. REPRESENTATIVES DELTA TAU DELTA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

Pitt this year is a school of marching feet, khaki, chow in lines, and air corps insignia, a university where women are in the minority. Ping—pong game room, reception room, and lounges went the way of the army when the women’s floor was taken over by the military department last year. But a staff, not easily daunted, made their new location on the first floor, “hoine" to the Pitt women. So we girls have a place to take our problems; lielpfiil advisors to give us assistance, and worthwhile advice to be gained. In addition to Bliss R,iish‘s staff of assistants, Nliss Harriet Glasser, l\Irs. Klarjorie Todd Simoiids, l\Iiss Elizabeth L. Teal, l\Iiss Jane Colteryahn, l\Irs.

In the summer of 43 they rushed and held their meetings in University classrooms. Fall rushing brought better results, and Lady Luck helped the boys find a seven room furnished house on iVIelwood Street. \Valls were washed, and painted, furniture was polished, and everything was arranged for the fellows to move in.

About eighty million people over a hundred and eighty-three stations heard what we at Pitt are doing to help the war effort. Afterwards everyone went down to the ballroom aI1d danced to the maestro’s music. Indeed We could “point with pride” to Pittsburgh. At intermission the proud winners of the track meet, open house decorations,‘ and float parade contests were announced and presented with certificates of honor. Even the weather was considerate of the occasion. The sun shone valiantly until Satur- day afternoon, but no one got wet that evening for the rai11 stopped until all were safely col- lectcd in the Mosque for the big broadcast. The success of the program—under the general chairmanship of Paul Steinlauf and assistant chairmanships of Bergie Steytler and Dave IIei11'/.—proved that Pitt is not only carrying on as normally as possible under war-time circumstances, but is successfully keeping alive some of her finest customs and traditions of pre—war days.

The Duo-Use Bath points the way. It can be a bath and powder room in one. Two persons can use it at the same time, without sacrificing privacy. The plan is simple. Divide the bathroom into two com- partrnents each a complete unit, with the bathtub and shower in one, the lavatory and water closet in the other. The door between the two Compartments provides privacy. Both compartments can be in use at the same time.

ABOUT VALVES What do you think of when you hear the word “Valve"? Most people think of a radiator valve or an automobile valve. The fact is that wherever the flow of a gas or a fluid must be controlled, there a valve must be used. Valves run from little tiny ones that weigh about a half pound to great big ones that weigh a couple of tons, with outlets as large as three feet——maybe four or five feet wide and six feet tall. Some are operated by hand and some by electric motors. These great big valves go in rubber plants, gasoline plants, and on dry docks and ships. Valves are made mostly of bronze, cast iron, steel, and malleable iron. With the valves go fittings, tees, elbows, pipe, etc., and wrenches with which to operate them. Ships use lots of valves; some kinds use as many as 15,000 per ship. They are used to control oil, steam, water, gas, and other fluids, In wartime most all valves are used for war purposes—and so many are used that the valve industry has had to multiply its normal production many times. In wartime importance, valves are close to the top of the list of essentials. WALWORTH COMPANY, INC. GREENSBURG WORKS [311] He didn’t mean to ’I:-IIS man's intentions were excellent. But he chose the wrong method of carrying them out. He directed his trustee under his Will to continue the opera- tion of his business without fail; to sell this piece of real estate, to hold that; to invest only in certain types of securities for which he had a high personal regard, to avoid all others. And the outcome? The business had to be operated at a loss. Forced sales of real estate were made. “Certain types” of securities were held and held, while the market went down and down. Net result: a de- crease of more than half in the net value of his estate to his heirs. In your own case: how much wiser to give discretion to a trustee whose judgment you can trust and who will always be able to make competent decisions based on current values and conditions. Perhaps you would like to discuss this important point further with us before revising your will. FIDELITY Tnusr COMPANY 344!-3443 FTDLHQ'FP1 /\\/E1.

McKenna, ushered in an era that offers unique opportunities for men and women whose in- terest lies in chemistry and allied professions. This compound (tungsten - titanium - carbide, corresponding to the chemical formula WTiC2) is cemented with other ingredients by pro- cesses of powder metallurgy, to form c a r b i d e compositions. known as Kennametal, that are up to 250 times as wear-resist- ant as hard steel! Today the major part of Ken- nametal production is for metal- cutting purposes. Yet the ulti- mate scope of its applicability still remains virtually unex- plored. The possibilities inher- ent in it are stimulating, since each new use for it means a new way has been found to increase machine efliciency. Are you in- terested in making a place for yourself in the age of carbides?

It is because of these efforts that we now pass this book on to others, smile proudly, and say: “The OWL is now yours—the record of an eventful and surpris- ing year in the life of the students, faculty, and military personnel of your University.” —The Editor.

Every year since that precedent, an authoritative committee composed of faculty members and junior men and women have considered many students and selected those in whom these qualities were best exemplified. At Tap Day on lVIay 5, the names of the following twenty—four men and women chosen by the com- mittee were revealed. Each has given service to the University far in excess of the average demand for time and cooperation. Each has established a record that may Well be aimed at by underclassmen.

Emphasizing business conduct, the courses are planned so that the student may become acquainted with the cultural as well as the technical side of business activity. After the “Biz Ad” masters the history of the mores, the philosopy of Adam Smith, the “ins and outs" of corporation law, he is ready to enter the business world with some assurance of success. Heading the department is Dean Vincent VV. Lanfear, Who is well known and liked for his friendly attitude and Texan accent. Dean Lanfear was graduated from the School of Business Administration himself, and he is a welcome counsellor to the students now . . . for many a student‘s problem is erased after a chat with him.

Crawford is a favorite among the students- As director of the activities of the largest under- graduate body in the University, he has a particular interest in the problems of education, and the careers of young people. Dr. Crawford has seen that there are no disruptive changes in the wartime curriculum of the College- His interests reach into the classics, local history, biological research, and detective stories. His pro- fessions varied from teacher and zoologist to Dean of the College. Dean Crawford believes that young people should be well trained in carrying out their careers. He believes too that the Humanities course can help students who intend to take professional training by working in creative work. In this way, Dr. Crawford is directing their efforts toward important wartime and post-war aims. His hope is that these young men and women will play an important part in these changing times.

Pitt News 2 [57] [58] SCHO0L 0F Playing an important part in the curriculum of the University and in training our teachers of tomorrow is the School of Education headed by Dean S. P. Franklin. It has been a difficult year for both students and faculty due to the changes that have and are taking place in order to keep pace with the needs of the day. Though for the n1ost part the department has continued along ofl’eriI1g the same courses, it has added one new course . . . pre—aeronautics, which has proven itself extremely helpful to those boys who plan to enter the Air Corps. Dean Franklin, who is a firm believer in the American education ideals, has been a great help to these men and women who have pledged themselves to the teaching of others. E]lUCATION SAMUEL P.

Holbrook, dean for seventeen years. The school is divided into seven departments: Aeronautical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, General, Industrial and l\Ieel1ani(:al. In in- dustrial engineering—the men and women, for there are women—turn toward chemical and electrical projects. At the beginning of the war, an influx of embryo engineers registered at the school, but at the present time, the enroll- ment is on a downward slope. Under the quota system set up at Wasliington, only a limited number of students may be accepted each year. The expedited program now calls for four semesters a year . . . holidays are one day affairs . . . the students never know in the morning what their status will be at night . and so they work on to prepare to recon- struct normal living i11 the post—war world.

WELSH—Centra1 Catholic [69] SCHO0L 0F DENTISTRY The School of Dentistry has become an even more integral part of the University. The Dental students . . . now in army and navy garb . . . serve as an important'part of the social service demanded in any community though many of them now have to leave the University to serve in the armed forces. Through his extensive research and his personal effort, Dr. H. Edmund Friesell, Dean of the school, has achieved national recognition for the excellence of the University’s dental school. Due to his tireless work of continually build- ing up the dental library, it is acknowledged to possess one of the greatest collections of rare and early volumes in the field of dentistry. H. EDMUND FRIESELL Lower Dental Building [70] [71] [72] TAY MALARKEY DENTISTRY One of our brightest stars on the athletic field is Clair Malarkey, better know to students and faculty as Tay. Basketball is his game, and he not only played three years of varsity ball, but also coached the Dent School basket— ball team. In true “Rinkey-Dink” manner, Tay never played any one position permanently, but switched on every game if need be. Last fall, Tay went out for football for the first time. He showed up as one of the team's best passing bets, until he was hurt in the Great Lakes game on October 2. As a result of his knee injury, Tay spent about two and a half months in St. Francis Hospital. He was forced to drop out of school—and, of course, he was missed on the basketball squad. A senior in Dental School, Tay was class president for four years. He was treasurer of Dental Student Council his sophomore year, and vice president his junior year. He is a pledge to Psi Omega, dental professional fraternity. After the war, Tay is planning to set up offices with his brother, also a dentist. Upper Dental Building SENIGIIS JACK ANDERSON . . .

Two representatives from each of the three dental fratern- ities make up the council, and part of their job is to regulate rushing for membership. Each rushee, to be eligible to Alpha Omega, Psi Omega, or Delta Sigma Delta must have a passing average, one semester in dental school, and be approved by the dean of the school. Officers of the council are rotated to give each house a turn at the presidency every three years. This year’s council whirled out with a dance and later hit Pitt sportlines hard with their basketball showings. Among the fraternities, the Friesell cup is the big stake and this year's playofls will decide which house is to keep it permanently. CY JACKSON. JR.

In spite of wartime changes, the AO’s held their annual formal dinner—dance at the Hotel VVebster Hall last September, when forty people dined and danced. Their house at 3515 Forbes Street is often the scene of clinics which are given by various members of the faculty and alumni from Dental School. There are about twenty-five boys living in the house and the present membership of the fraternity totals seventy, with most of the fellows in school wearing the uniforms of the Army or Navy. The AO‘s are active in Dental School sports, and they now hold two of three legs which are necessary to win the H. E. Friesell Athletic Cup. “Can you bring a friend?"

Sigma chapter at Pitt shares the same fraternal secrets as their brothers in England, France, and Australia do. Their aim is “to keep high the standards of dentistry byinculcating the minds of dental students and practicioners a spirit of fraternal co—operation toward scientific, ethical, and profession progress.” The fraternity publication, Desmos, uses up the inter-fraternity dental athletics or parties at the chapter house. Chapter deputy is Dr. DeVVitt Hall who keeps things right-side up. D. L. HENDERSON, JR. spare time of the boys when they are not tackling It must be the war! \Vh0se name next? Now this wasn't posed!

Marasco The 23 Psi O’s living at their house at 230 North Bellefield Avenue have been very busy these days as all of the boys are either in the Army or the Navy. Their faithful housemother must satisfy the hunger calls of a full dining room three times a day. Frequent house dances do their best to fill in the temporary gaps made by the curtailment of formal affairs. And for more rugged sports, the service Unit 3307 Basket- ball team uses three Psi Omega men. The Psi O‘s competing with the Alpha Omega boys, need but one more leg to win the H. E. Friesell Cup. Dean Friesell and Dr. VV. F. Swanson are two of the big boys wl1o were former Psi Omegas and are now on the school faculty.
