A Train of Thought from Carnegie Tech" -- Humorous Drawing Depicting Student Life at Carnegie Mellon University c.1900

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Carnegie Tech, 1900. Good to very good. Light toning.. An amusing relic of student life at Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1900's, then known as Carnegie Tech. The front is a photo reproduction of a line drawing showing seven students traversing a snowy bridge together and truing to keep warm with the caption, "A TRAIN OF THOUGHT FROM CARNEGIE TECH. Solution of Thermodynamics Problem: Minimizing Heat Losses due to Radiation etc. by operating the Prime Movers Compound and Condensing". On the back is a handwritten note in pencil that reads, "It has been several years since you experienced the cold damp winds peculiar to the east and perhaps you never had to cross a long high bridge over a deep hollow every day. C.T.S. is inaccessible & most students [?] over the bridges. This indicates a popular expedient in the way of meeting the elements, during stormy winter days". Measures approx. 5" by 3.5, may be trimmed.
