The Jim Froyd Collection

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

Thanks for un-confusing me.  My first impression was cathedral of learning
but I couldn't remember it being so close to any street.  Then I couldn't
remember where the Stephen Foster memorial fit into the picture, or what it
looked like.  

So the gazebo to the left can only be one thing in 1942, an attendant shack
for Forbes Field parking.

Actually, uh, when I look at the picture on a "real" monitor I can see
it's Stephen Foster and that the building in the "back" is what's now
William Pitt Student Union, and the angled one, uh, I think "Schenley
Quadrangle" they call it.
