Crop of page 275 of the 1957 Pitt student yearbook, the Owl. This work was originally published before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed the work is in the public domain. Renewals for copyrights from 1951 onward (and some, but not all, renewals for 1950 copyrights), as well as original registrations from 1978 onward are available online from the Copyright Office's Copyright Records web site.

Originally this issue of The Owl was seemingly published without a copyright notice, but if it was published with a copyright notice of 1957, this issue of The Owl student yearbook would have had to be renewed in 1984. Online searches, regardless of year, of Copyright Office's Copyright Records web site for The Owl, editor Thomas C. Vrana, the business manager Eugene J. Reinbold, or the University of Pittsburgh revealed no renewal entries.
