About this piece
1972 "A Campus Guide to the University of Pittsburgh and Vicinity," a fold-out visitor brochure and pictorial campus map published by the Visitors' Center, University of Pittsburgh, copyright 1972. Gold cover with the Cathedral of Learning. About 5.9 x 9 inches folded. Condition: used but clean and bright, with normal fold lines and light edge wear.
Inside: a history of the Cathedral of Learning and Chancellor John Gabbert Bowman, a Nationality Classrooms panel listing the 19 heritages then represented, and a large bird's-eye map of the Oakland campus keyed to 40 University buildings, affiliated hospitals and points of interest including Pitt Stadium, Heinz Chapel, Stephen Foster Memorial, Syria Mosque, Mellon Institute, Carnegie Institute and Phipps Conservatory. A red-arrow walking tour and blue-arrow Health Center tour describe each building, and the back gives an overview of the University's schools, regional campuses and centers under Chancellor Wesley Posvar.
A great piece for Pitt alumni and Pittsburgh history buffs, showing the campus and Oakland neighborhood as they looked in the early 1970s, with since-demolished landmarks like Pitt Stadium and the Syria Mosque.
