[Pittsburgh. 1835.] 12¼ x 7½ inches. One page circular, previously folded and bound. A Large notched-out area to inner margin, short edge-tears, affecting no text at all, else Very Good.
Printed circular and subscription announcing to Pittsburgh's citizens a meeting of the Board of Trustees to raise money to hire Gilbert Morgan the second chancellor of what is today Pitt, i.e., University of Pittsburgh. Testimonials give on behalf of Morgan were made by Theodore D. Weld, Dr. Miller of Princeton, Rev. Breckenridge, Rev. Uffold and so forth. The trustees announce: "The undersigned approve heartily of that part of Mr. Morgan's plan which would impart a more popular cast to the Institution, by enlarging the range of studies and yielding a prominent place and consideration to such as may be turned to account in active life, in whatever sphere. Our citizens have had too much reason, perhaps, to regard it, heretofore, as something which stood apart, in lofty seclusion, from their pursuits and and sympathies. This erroneous notion will be discarded, and a deep interest claimed from all in that which is designed for the common benefit of all."
"The University's buildings, along with most of its records and files, were destroyed in a widespread 1845 fire that wiped out 20 square blocks of the most valuable part of Pittsburgh." (Wikipedia) Unrecorded in OCLC.
