On This Day in Pittsburgh History: March 1, 1952
At midnight 100 men of the United States Steel Corporation sat around a horseshoe table in the Carnegie Building, then emptied of all tenants, and drank a toast to what had been “steel headquarters” for 57 years. At 8 a.m., demolition crews began the long and arduous task of disassembling this structure, beam by beam, to clear the site for a Kaufmann’s annex.

On This Day in Pittsburgh History: February 25, 1936
Dr. Robert E. Doherty, Yale dean and electrical researcher, was elected president of Carnegie Tech to succeed Dr. Thomas S. Baker. [Historic Pittsburgh]
The number of graduate students at Carnegie Tech increased from 45 to 369 under Doherty’s tenure. From “Carnegie Tech at 50,” TIME Magazine, in 1950:
Under Presidents Arthur A. Hamer-schlag (1903-22) and Thomas S. Baker (1922-35) Carnegie Tech developed one of the best departments of metallurgy in the U.S., gathered one of the top coal-research staffs in the world. It had a big-time football team, a women’s college, and a topflight drama department capable of turning out Broadway stars (among them: Arthur Kennedy, Robert Cummings). Then, in 1936, Carnegie got President Robert E. Doherty, onetime dean of the School of Engineering at Yale and a protege of the late great scientist and G.E. engineer, Charles Steinmetz.
Old-Line Shudder. Bob Doherty was impressed with Tech, but he was not a man to be easily satisfied. Over the next 14 years he made Tech hum. He raised $4,000,000 to begin the first building program the school had had in years. He boosted the endowment from $17 to $30 million, tripled the size of the library, upped the number of full-time students two-thirds. Instead of a mere 27 advanced degrees a year, Carnegie Tech was soon giving out 200.
