The new officers of the com­mittee are: Roger G. Nagy, chair­man; Alexander J. Goydan, first vice chairman; Albert D. Furedy, second vice chairman; Robert A. Kapinus, secretary; Frances A. Furedy, treasurer; and Klara Varady, controller. This marked the first time since the committee was established in 1928 that officers were selected through an open election, said John Miller, longtime officer on the committee who retired from office this year. The committee was one of 18 nationality committees formed in the mid- to late-1920s at a time when the University was con­structing its soaring Cathedral of Learning. In an effort to underscore its status as a truly international institution, the University pro­vided each nationality committee with a classroom.

Thus, the original purpose of the Hungarian Nationality Com­mittee was to raise funds for the design and construction of the Hungarian Room. The Hungarian Room was dedicated Sept. 29, 1939. In the 1950s, the committee shifted its focus and began raising funds to install stained glass win­dows depicting important figures and events in Hungarian history. The windows were installed in October 1956, replacing the regu­lar clear glass windows and sev­eral deteriorating curtains, Mr. Miller said. Today, the University is re­sponsible for maintaing the na­tionality rooms and uses them as classrooms for its instructional programs. The committee itself now serves two main purposes. Its major purpose is to raise funds for an educational exchange pro­gram designed to send a Univer­sity of Pittsburgh student to Hungary for special studies. Its second purpose is to organ­ize cultural programs and serve as hosts for Hungarian dignitaries visiting the Hungarian Room. The committee is also working on plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Room this September. Among the ideas being considered is a gala dinner-dance to be held at the University, Mr. Miller said.
