w. Mellon, now secretary of the
United states treasury and one OF
Americas foremost bankers, and his

the biggest thing In It's history In
some ways. At any rate "WUP," as
It was familiarly known for three
quarters OF a century or more, en-
listed I'm it's future behalf two boys
who in later years were to become
its most powerful financial friends.
The MELONS" are magic words In
this part OF the country. When you
hear some one say the MELONS"
you know two things--the first Is
that the speaker Is referring to a. w.
and X. B. Mellon; in the second in
stance you know that the MELONS
are synonymous with millions, NOT
mere dollars and cents.
About dozen years or so ago "the

the various other schOols-suCh as

scattered all over the city. The plan
was conceived TO move the whole uni

brand new buildings.
a big fund was raised an oxten-
slve site bought in Pittsburgh great
civic center in the Oakland section,
and presto Up went a dozen large
and magnificent buildings to house
the various schools Of the university.
Then "WUP" left Perrysville and
moved to Oakland. 1t also left its
old name behind and became known
as the University of Pittsburgh
pitt" for short. It's enrolment
quickly jumped from its 600 or 700
students to it's present $500.
Several years ago the MELONS built
the Mellon institute for scientific re-
search. This school delved into scien-
tific mysteries along new lines. II
became world famous. II was this
school which recently discovered that
smoke is far more valuable than the
coal IL comes from.
