Description
Committee members for the Scottish Nationality Classroom. The Scottish Room is designed to reflect a 17th century hall dedicated to ancient clans and cultural heroes. The portrait on the wall is Scotland's most famous poet, Robert Burns. The room also emphasizes the Scottish love for freedom with the quotes from John Barbour, "A Freedome is a noble thing," and " Freedome all solace to men's giffis." The Scottish room was dedicated July 8, 1938. This room, along with twenty five other Nationality Rooms all with different architectural styles, was conceived in the 1920s by sociologist Ruth Crawford Mitchell as a means of linking the university with the immigrant culture of the steel working families.
