Love the pictures and posts. I don't remember being on campus until 1974 but my late parents described the Bluff to me including the football field.  I was completely unaware of the housing and wonder what year these photos are from Duq81? Thanks again

The pics are from the early 20s, during the construction of the Boulevard Of The Allies, after WWI.

Very cool to see those pictures. I was kind of hoping my post would prompt somebody to post some. I am curious about the third one. What streets are those? My guess would be looking down Magee St, but there's nothing in the picture I recognize (if anything in it even still exists) to be sure.

Stevenson St. at Vickroy.
 

Not sure if this opens for all. Vickroy up above the law school circa 1955. All of that is of course gone.

So is that Des Places visible on the left side? I thought that was a fairly new building, but it sure looks alot like it.

And is that Old Main in the distance? I can't figure out how the angle would work to make it so, but again it really looks like it.

Being the guy with the history degree, I found this article pretty interesting on the history of MD and DO degrees for physicians.

I wonder if there should be a general Duquesne discussion section on the board. I feel like I’m distracting distracting from basketball by posting this stuff but we all have pride in the university and it development.

I've thought about a general discussion section, but have been afraid that no one would use it. Also, those boards tend to end up with people making political, and religious statements, which frequently causes the board to turn ugly, and makes a lot of work for the moderators. I might set up an "all other things Duquesne" section, which would be perfect for posts like this.
