caption_attribution_description: English: Picture of Wean Hall at Carnegie Mellon University taken just after President Bush was re-elected for a second term. The words "Sorry, World" were written on the building, presumably by students, in response to his re-election. When taking an introduction to computer science, many first programs display an output of "Hello World"; "Sorry World" as written on the building is a play off of this computer science phrase.
context_page_description: The Mellon College of Science is part of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US. The college is named for the Mellon family, founders of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, a predecessor of Carnegie Mellon University.
  The college offers various bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. It also awards the Dickson Prize in Science. Since 2016, its dean is Rebecca Doerge.
context_section_description: The administration of MCS, as well as most of its biological sciences and chemistry faculty and research labs, and the college's library, are based in the Mellon Institute, which was constructed in 1937. The neoclassical building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and was designated as a National Historic Chemical Landmark in 2013 by the American Chemical Society. The college's physics and mathematical sciences departments are based in Carnegie Mellon's main campus in Wean Hall, a Brutalist building constructed in 1971.
