Join us in the English Nationality Room in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning, for a talk on the life of Pittsburgh native, Mary Schenley, who at aged 15 was swept of her feet and married an English Captain of the British Army. We know her today as a philanthropist to our City of Pittsburgh, but where did her money come from? All will be revealed!
