Title:: Duffs-iron City college

Collection:: Economics Books

Duquesne way was acquired, and the three schools were con- solidated and housed under one roof. Few cities can pride themselves with a private school building so commodious, adequate and well arranged, as Pittsburgh can in the Duffs-Iron City College building. Noth- ing has been spared in making this building a model for busi- ness training. It contains 33,000 square feet of floor space, and is arranged in four wings, so that light is admitted to each classroom from three sides. On the first floor, in addition to the executive offices, are the library, a spacious foyer, an auditorium with capacity for 800 people, rest rooms, hos- pital, and cafeteria. The second. third and fourth floors are devoted to classrooms. Duff’s College, to-day, has an enrollment in excess of 1600 students annually, and a total registration of over 53,500 since its incorporation in 1840. The combined registration of Duff’s College, Iron City College, and the Martin Shorthand school is approximately 116,500 students, exclusive of the enrollment of a branch of the college operated in Beaver Falls, Pa. A faculty of twenty teachers is maintained under the direction of the following executive officers: P. S. Spangler, president and manager; M. S. Johnston, secretary and reg- istrar; S. E. Bowman, treasurer and principal; J. Merle Baltzer, assistant principal; Karl M. Maukert, superinten- dent Bookkeeping and Accounting schools; J. Fred Gardner, superintendent Shorthand and Typewriting schools: M. E. Mattes, superintendent Finishing school. It is a noteworthy circumstance that in the eighty-nine years of Duff’s history, there have been only three men at the head of the college: the founder. his son. and the incum- hent. Mr. Spangler has been active in commercial school education nationally, having served officially with the National Commercial Teachers’ Federation, National Asso- ciation of Accredited Commercial Schools, and for a number of years was secretary of the Private School Managers’ Association. He has been honored by the Presidency of the Eastern Commercial Teachers’ Association, and is a past president of the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh. as well as a
