Walter Leuba (1902–1983) was a poet, writer, and book collector in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
[1][2] Leuba studied fine art, English, and history at Carnegie Mellon University (C.I.T.; now Carnegie Mellon University), and interacted with Porter Garnett, founder of the Laboratory Press at C.I.T. Also, Leuba fostered a friendship with poet Haniel Long, the head of C.I.T.'s English department at the time.
While living in New York as a bachelor, Leuba wrote a book of verse poetry, Legend, published in 1925 under the name Paul Sandoz.
[1] Leuba contributed to literary journals and wrote two published books with Ernest Nevin Dilworth (Smith Unbound, and Two Dialogues: Norman Douglas and George Santayana), as well as other collaborative works.
[1] This marked a major change of heart for Walter Leuba, who said to an interviewer from the University of Pittsburgh, said he would not donate his books to the Hillman Library, continuing, "...I would no more dream of leaving them to a local library than jumping in the river.
