==Funding== Fundraising for this project came in a number of forms, including donations from industries, corporations, individuals and foreign governments. To raise public views of the cathedral, and at the same time finance the construction, Bowman started a fundraising campaign in 1925. An important part of this campaign was a project reaching out to the children of the city entitled "Buy a Brick for Pitt". Each schoolchild sent a [[Dime (United States coin)|dime]] ([[United States dollar|$]]0.10) and a letter to the university, explaining how they earned the dime for the building. In exchange, the child received a certificate for one [[brick]] contained in the cathedral. A total of 97,000 certificates were issued to children.
