A memorial to George Westinghouse

At the head of the ravine in Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, there will be dedicated October 6 to the memory of George Westinghouse, great inventor and founder of the vast industries which bear his name, a bronze group of heroic proportions, created by Daniel Chester French, America´s foremost sculptor, and hailed by sculptors and art critics as the masterpiece of his brilliant career. The main unit rises twenty feet from a Norwegian granite base, lt includes a dominating figure of Mr. Westinghouse in the prime of life, and flanking him are two figures a skilled workman and an engineer typical of the thousands of artisans who have assisted the master in his work. Facing this group on a separate pedestal is a figure of American youth in an inspired attitude as he studies the monument of achievement, This statue has been lauded as the only figure ever created truly interpretative of the typical American boy.
