University of Pitt - Panthers - School Mascots on Waymarking.com

?The bronze statue made in Parma, Italy, stands on a pedestal in the shadow of the clock near the William Pitt Union, at the center of campus activity.
Ten-and-a-half-feet long, the panther was cast with a sleek and muscular tone in pure bronze by sculptor Miriani Guido. With one paw poised in the air, the panther appears ready to pounce on an unsuspecting enemy. The statue was placed outside the union at the end of August 2001. A time capsule to be opened in the year 2051 was buried beneath the statue.

The project, which began with SGB deliberations in April 1999, cost $72,000.

There is no plaque indicating that there is a time capsule under the statue.
