With Mr. Brashear’s back­ing, Mr. Leisser wrote a let­ter to Mr. Car­ne­gie in 1911, de­tail­ing how art is re­lated to ev­ery facet of life. Mr. Leisser urged him to add a school of de­sign to the insti­tute. The day the cor­ner­stone was laid, they told me I was the father of the school, Mr. Leisser told the Post-Ga­zette in a 1936 in­ter­view. The School of Ap­plied De­sign, fin­ished in Septem­ber 1912, in­cluded departments of dra­matic arts, mu­sic, ar­chi­tec­ture, paint­ing and il­lus­tra­tion. Notable alum include: Ted Danson, Holly Hunter, Zachary Quinto, James Cromwell, Joe Manganiello, Judith Light, Patrick Wilson, George Romero, Andy Warhol, Philip Pearlstein, Rob Rogers, Henry Mancini, Raymond Kaskey, Burton Morris, and many more. Wow! What a legacy to leave!
