Description
English: This 1942 shot from the 35th floor of the Cathedral of Learning shows all the "Acropolis Plan" buildings that were constructed. Top left is Pennsylvania Hall (now the site of a residence hall of the same name), just below it on the upper far left is the Mineral Industries Building (now demolished), State Hall is at the bottom right (now the site of Pitt's Chevron Science Center), and in center just behind and left to the roof of Sailors and Soldiers Memorial is Thaw Hall which is the only remaining building from the "Acropolis Plan". Pitt's Eberly Hall (then called Alumni Hall) is the long building in the center. It was the first building to deviate from the "Acropolis Plan". Pitt's Allen Hall (the former home of Mellon Institute) can be seen in the middle far left. The hill campus, much as it existed in this photo, was the main focus of student life from 1909 to the construction of the Cathedral of Learning.

Crop of page 95 of the 1942 Pitt student yearbook, The Owl. This work was originally published before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed the work is in the public domain. It is best to search 6 months before and after the required year. Some periodicals are published the month before the cover date and some registrations may be delayed for a few months. Originally published with a copyright notice of 1942, this issue of The Owl student yearbook would have to be renewed in 1969. Online page scans of the Catalog of Copyright Entries, published by the US Copyright Office can be found here. [1]

The search of the Renewals for Books and Periodicals for 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971 show no renewal entries for The Owl by the editor John G. Brosky, business manager Thomas R. Westermann, faculty advisor Robert X. Graham, The Owl itself, or the University of Pittsburgh.

The copyright of the yearbook was not renewed and therefore it is in the public domain according to the criteria.
