Pitt Head Swim Coach Joseph C. Trees Pool JOSEPH C. TREES POOL Home of the 2010 Big East Championships Joseph C. Trees Pool was opened in 1962 on the upper campus of the University of Pittsburgh, with Ben Grady as the Panthers’ head men’s swimming coach. Forty-two years later, it remains one of the largest natatoriums in the nation. One of the last 55-yard pools built in the United States, Trees Pool is home to the Pittsburgh Panthers’ Swimming and Diving program. Twenty-eight Big East Conference titles have been won by the men’s and women’s teams since joining the league in the early 1980s. Trees Pool Facts Originally built in 1962, it was one of the fi rst pools with a 10-meter tower, underwater windows, underwater sound system and a heated deck and benches. The pool holds approximately 750,000 gallons of water. Two Pools In One Along with the main pool, the facility houses a 25-yard, six- lane smaller pool, which was added in the summer of 1963, one year after the building was completed. Events held at Trees Pool — 1963 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Championships — 1982 Women’s College Nationals AIAW Championships — 16 Big East Swimming and Diving Championships (1983-1996, 1998, 2010) — Numerous Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Cham- pionships, Long Course Eastern Zone Championships and 2005 Senior Olympic Games. 2 2009-10 PITT Swimming and Diving TREES POOL New Additions In 2008, renovations to Pitt’s swimming and diving facilities have raised the quality of Joseph C. Trees Pool, as well as, the expectations for Pitt’s swimming and diving program. “We are blessed to have an athletic administration and chancellor that believes in providing fi rst class facilities for its student-athletes,” said Head Coach Chuck Knoles. “Historically, when pools are renovated we see a boost in success. Trees Pool had been untouched since 1962, but now our standards are up to those of the Big East and other NCAA universities. “ In 2002, a new state-of-the-art Daktronics scoreboard was installed on the pool’s balcony and was oƥ cially dedicated to Ben Grady during the 2003 ECAC Championships held at Trees Pool. The following year, a new Panthers’ Wall of Fame was unveiled by the team’s former All-Americans and award winners, featuring the plaques of the 97 Pitt Swimming and Diving All-Americans as well as trophies from the Panthers’ 28 conference titles and meet championships. The most recent renovations have modernized Trees Pool, shortening the 55 yard pool to 50-meters and upgrading the circulation systems and 1-meter diving area. The University of Pittsburgh’s Trees Pool is a proud host of the 2010 Big East Championships. “ The meet has been traveling for 12 years and we’re really excited to have it back on a college campus” Knoles stated. 3 28 Big East Championships and Counting...

You are meeting at a time when the Democratic Party on many levels and in many parts of the country seems to have wandered off its course. Our Party, as the majority representative party of the nation, must never go back on its historic commitment to improve the lot of the common man and restore dignity and total freedom and security to the forgotten man. And I would urge those among us, who tend to be overzealous, not to impede our progress and stop brooding lest we incur further erosion of voter confidence. Sincerely yours, Honorable Daniel K.

White, who began his journalism career delivering the Boston Post, entered Har- vard College in 1932 on a newsboy’s schol- arship. He studied Chinese history and Oriental languages. In 1939, he witnessed the bombing of Peking while freelance reporting on a Sheldon Fellowship, and later explained, “Three thousand human beings died; once I’d seen that I knew I wasn’t going home to be a professor.” During the war, White covered East Asia for Time and returned to write Thunder Out of China, a controversial critique of the American-supported Nationalist Chinese government. For the next two decades, he contributed to numerous periodicals and magazines, published two books on the Sec- ond World War and even wrote fiction.
