"In late August 1961, Jerlean Daniel hopped on a plane in Sacramento, Calif., with nothing but a few suitcases of clothes and books. Four hours and 2,200 miles later, she arrived at the Pittsburgh International Airport, collected her bags and immediately boarded a bus bound for Oakland.
As the bus entered town, emerging from the semi-darkness of the Fort Pitt Tunnel, Daniel found herself assailed by doubt.
The sight of Pittsburgh, a city still dominated by steel mills and smog, shocked the California native, barely two months out of high school. She wondered whether she had made the right decision to attend Pitt and study political science."
