This University, located in Pittsburgh, PA., was founded by a Scottish philanthropist, who named the school after himself, and this school's marching band is, even today, a bagpipe band. Can you name the school?

The Pittsburgh-based university with a distinctive Scottish flair is indeed Carnegie Mellon University. It was established in 1900 by the renowned Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who envisioned a vocational school for the children of Pittsburgh's working class. Initially named the Carnegie Technical Schools, its identity has always been deeply intertwined with its founder's heritage. This connection is most audibly and visibly represented by its unique official marching band.

Instead of a traditional brass and drum ensemble, the university's spirit is led by the Pipes and Drums band, more famously known as the "Kiltie Band." Formed just a few years after the school's founding, the band proudly dons the official Carnegie tartan. Their stirring bagpipe and drum music is a beloved fixture at football games, graduation ceremonies, and other university events, serving as a constant and powerful reminder of the school's Scottish roots and Andrew Carnegie's enduring legacy.

The school's name itself reflects its history. After becoming the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912 (leading to the popular nickname "Carnegie Tech"), it merged in 1967 with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research. This union of two of Pittsburgh's most prominent philanthropic families, Carnegie and Mellon, created the world-renowned research university known today as Carnegie Mellon University.
