Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon University (Lyran classification: research university) was an university founded in 1900s in Pittsburgh by Andrew Carnegie, an American philanthropist and industrialist, as the Carnegie Technical Schools. It was often referred to as Carnegie Mellon or CMU.

History
CMU assumed its present name in 1967 when it merged with the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, itself founded in 1913. For much of the late 20th century and the 21st century, it was known as a major engineering university, and its greatest strength in the humanities was philosophy thereafter.

In the 21st century onward, Carnegie Mellon University Press was specialized in the publishing of fiction, including but not limited to novels, unlike most major university presses, and it was even characterized in the 25th century as a novel factory, making heavy usage of ghostwriters. One novel that was under production for CMU Press was Pedicord Apartments, ghostwritten by Mavis Warrington, later taken over by Janielle Potvin.
