ALUMNI "SNEAK PREVIEW" OF BROAD & PINE TO FEATURE SAMUEL YELLIN RETROSPECTIVE

Once again, Broad and Pine will be the scene of festivity and celebration as alumni return en masse on March 25 to herald the opening of the eagerly awaited Yellin Retrospective, just fifty years after this illustrious ironmaker held his first alumni exhibition on the very site. The "sneak preview" also represents the first occupancy of th e College's restored buildings, save for Furness which last Fall welcomed nearly 200 incoming freshmen, following total remodeling into modern apartment dormitories. Alumni will therefore have the distinct pleasure of unveiling the renovated property, savoring the memories of yesteryear amid the architectural splendors that have brought PCA's cherished landmark into contemporary prominence.
