| Summary |
A photograph of the Hungarian Nationality Room in the Cathedral of Learning. The Hungarian Room emphasizes the past of the country and some of the famous historical characters from Hungary. Above the blackboard is the coat of arms used by the University of Budapest. The coat of arms is then topped by the crown of St. Stephen. Near the ceiling, carved into the wood, is the first verse of the Hungarian national anthem. Behind the curtain on the windows are pictures of some of Hungary's famous authors, poets and artists. The Hungarian Room was dedicated on September 29, 1939. This room, along with 25 other Nationality Rooms all with different architectural styles, was conceived in the 1920s by sociologist Ruth Crawford Mitchell as a means of linking the university with the immigrant culture of the steel-working families. |
