  • PITT: the ADOLESCENT YEARS: 1908-1928 Carlton G
    PITT: THE ADOLESCENT YEARS: 1908-1928 Carlton G. Ketchum a s in the case of many young human beings, it is hard to tell when /"^ an institution commences to leave its period of immaturity and grow into adulthood. There isn't an exact day. For the purpose of this discussion, Iam going to consider that that happened in the case of the University of Pittsburgh in the years starting with 1908, when itmoved from its cramped little campus on the North Side to Oakland, and that there were approximately twenty of those adolescent years. Earlier Pitt was a little-boy college known as the Western Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, not to be mentioned in the same breath with the traditional eastern universities or with the great state institutions to the west. It was small in enrollment, small in faculty, small in dollars, small in traditions and very much smaller in fame. It was too little recognized even to be credited with a few big things it had already produced. When the University changed its name and moved from North Side to Oakland, it was a small college in the eyes of almost everyone. Twenty years later, even the least observing, in the family or outside, thought of it as a genuine university. In those two decades came the big transition. The official birthdate of the name University of Pittsburgh was July 11, 1908, when the Court of Common Pleas approved the petition of the University to that effect. This had been recommended by the Betterment Committee of the trustees as far back as January 1902.
