Bruce resigned, he handed over to his successor one of the foremost colleges west of the Alleghenies. Through its portals had passed graduates that gained distinction in the pulpit, the courts, and on the floor of Congress. The period of 1843 ^^ 1858 included the administration of Rev. Heman Dyer, Rev. David H. Riddle and Rev. John F. McLaren. This was a period of storm and stress. The University buildings were destroyed m the great fire of 1845, ^^^ ^ ^^w building was erected on Duquesne Way, ...which was dedicated September 18, 1846. After its completion, two features were prominent in the curriculum — ^the Law School was or- ganized in 1843; Walter H. Lowrie was appointed professor; another feature was the Teacher's College. In July, 1849, ^^^ University again suffered a loss of its building by fire. The faculty and students were dismissed, and the work of the University was suspended until 1855. Then by the indefatigable energies of John Harper, treasurer of the board of trustees, with $16,600 secured from insurance companies and sale of the lot, funds were raised to increase the amount to $26,000, and land was purchased on the corner of Ross and Diamond streets.
