The Nationality Committees had their beginnings in 1925, at the time that the University of Pittsburgh was engaged in erecting its soaring Cathedral of Learning. The Nationality Committees eventually comprised nearly a half million people. Some of the rooms are originals, some are re-creations, but all were designed by architects from the countries they represent. It was in 1946 that the University, in cooperation with these Committees, instituted a formal program of educational exchange. In June, 1960, U.S. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter said: "The University of Pittsburgh has caught the vision of a new horizon." More

Don Higginbotham (May 22, 1931 – June 22, 2008) was an American historian and Dowd Professor of History at the University of North Carolina. A leading scholar of George Washington, he was a pioneering practitioner of the “new” military history and an expert on colonial and revolutionary America and the early national United States. He served twice (1975–76 and 1998–99) as visiting professor of history at the United States Military Academy. Kenneth Nebenzahl lectures and writes in the fields of early mapping, exploration and American history. Nebenzahl served many years as a consultant to Rand McNally & Co., the Hudson’s Bay Company and The Library of Congress. As an aid to the modern day reader, each of the maps is accompanied by some 300 words of commentary by Nebenzahl. These 'captions' help interprets the action depicted, explain the origin of the maps, and the significance of the engagement, as the situation warrants. Higginbotham contributes a 40,000 word essay on the background of the war. Higginbotham's text could stand as a worthy book on its own. As it is, much of the understanding of the how and why of the events mapped springs from this well-written commentary. More

Twenty-seven railroads were listed at the back as sponsoing this pageant. In a 3,000-seat theater, with a cast of 250 members, Railroads on Parade reenacted the progress of rail transportation from the 1820s through 1939. The goal of Edward Hungerford was to briefly tell the story of the railroad through a series of stage presentations, with narration and incidental music. Hungerford wrote that "into every corner of our social and economic existence, the railroad is tightly interwoven. It is the backbone of he country, no, even more, it is its veritable lifeblood. In its 250,000 miles of steel veins, it flows to every far corner of a far-flung land, it binds in its living, throbbing embrace city and town and village, the open country, the forest, the mine, the forge, the factory, and the sea. It is indeed the nation's lifeblood, the great arm not only of its industry, but of its military defense. If it were to die, then the nation would die." The spectacular finish of the show culminated with the cast, both human and steel (the J2a - Hudson Streamliner and another modern engine were used in the Grand Finale), making their final appearance on stage.

New York: Gallery Books, 1985. Presumed First printing of this issue. Hardcover. The format is approximately 8.625 inches by 11.75 inches. 304 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Gymnosperms. Angiosperms, Appendix. Glossary. Indexes. This is a heavy book and if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. Describes the history, characteristics, flowers, fruits, leaves, and uses for over two hundred of the most common shrubs and trees, and explains how they are identified. In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. The majority of tree species are angiosperms or hardwoods; of the rest, many are gymnosperms or softwoods. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Trees usually reproduce using seeds. Flowers and fruit may be present, but some trees, such as conifers, instead have pollen cones and seed cones. Palms, bananas, and bamboos also produce seeds, but tree ferns produce spores instead.

Fred Joseph Maroon (September 24, 1924 – November 5, 2001) was an American photographer who worked in a breadth of photographic categories over his career. A trained architect, he worked in fashion, travel, portraiture, food and architectural photography but is probably best known for his extensive coverage of the Nixon administration before, during and through the Watergate scandal. In his final two major projects, Maroon went back to his roots focusing on architectural photography. In 1993 he authored The United States Capitol and in 1996 The Supreme Court of the United States. Both books were coauthored by his wife Suzy Maroon. Each book was done under the jurisdiction of the historical society of that building and each was a thorough architectural study featuring interiors, exteriors and historic details. Over the course of these projects and his many years in Washington, DC, Maroon developed what many consider the definitive photographic collection of the city. More
