125th Anniversary of Pratt Institute

10/06/2012 5:41 PM

Alumnis of Pratt Institute designed the Chrysler building, Ford Thunderbird and Waldorf Astoria hotel among other things. Pratt Institute is a respected school of engineering which I attended back in 1954.

Alumnus, alumni; alumna, alumnae.

Congratulations to Pratt on this milestone, and to its graduates! (See how I sneaked around that?)

--Ed. C.

My Daughter is in her third year at Pratt. The shool has quite an illustrious list of alumni. The campus is also very interestint demonstrating several architectural styles from 1900 industrial to Tiffany in the library. The scattering of student art throughout is also very impresive.
