Hetherington, Architect ANNOUNCEMENT TN the Architectural Club the year 1900 is made memorable by the founding of the Annual Travel- ing Scholarship. The selection is made by competition, and the scholarship, amounting this year to I3 25.00, is designed to assist the winner in defraying the expenses of a European tour devoted to architectural study. From the treasury of the club $250.00 is appropriated annually, and this year Mr. George R. Dean has subscribed I50.00, and Mr. Wm. Bryce Mundie $25.00. The competition extends over five months, with a separate competition each month, the subject in each case being a part of the whole general problem, and the decision is made by ballot of the members of the club. At each meeting, when a competition is hung for judgment, a critic, who has had opportunity to study the designs submitted, reviews the drawings. The subject is then open for discussion by the members, and later the ballot is taken. From the first the interest has been intense, the discussions developing much valuable criticism, and the final competition and decision ending in great enthusiasm. By ballot of the members the scholarship is this year awarded to Mr. Nelson Max Dunning. The subject chosen for competition was "A United States Embassy in a European Capital," and this was divided in five sections as follows: BLOCK PLAN OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS. THE ENTRANCE GATES. PLANS AND ELEVATIONS OF BUILDINGS. INTERIORS OF BALL-ROOM AND GRAND HALL. BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS. On the competition for the entrance gates, Mr. George R. Dean acted as critic; on the block plan of buildings and grounds, Mr. Dwight Heald Perkins; on the plans and elevations of buildings, Mr. James Gamble Rogers and Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright; on the ball-room and grand hall, Mr. Louis J. Millet, Mr. Edward G. Garden of St. Louis, and Mr. Louis H. Sullivan; and on the bird's-eye view, Mr. Robert C. Spencer, Jr., Prof. Seth Temple of the University of Illinois, and Mr. Louis H. Sullivan. Elsewhere in the book will be found illustrations of some of the designs submitted in the fourth com- petition, and it is greatly regretted that the final drawings were submitted too late for reproduction. The Club feels a justifiable pride in the foundation of the scholarship, in that it is the first archi- tectural scholarship to be founded in the West, and is a goal towards which the eflForts of the members have been long directed. Besides the scholarship, this exhibition and the usual current municipal prob- lems and club work, the interest of the members has been enlisted in the affairs of the Architectural League of America, the executive board of which is this year chosen largely from the members of the Architectural Club. The questions proposed for debate by the Educational Committee of the League have been taken up eagerly by the members, and the debates have proved, perhaps, the most interest- ing of any meetings of the year. The questions proposed for debate between the Architectural Club of Chicago, the T-Square Club of Philadelphia, and the Architectural League of New York are : Question i. Is it advisable that the architectural student devote the time necessary to obtain a so-called classical education as a foundation for refined culture and taste, or can the same refinement be gained by studies more closely allied to architecture? Question 2 a. Should architectural design and the study of historic styles follow and be based upon a knowledge of pure design ? 1 b. How can pure design be best studied? And as these touch what is fast becoming the "sore spot" of architectural education in America, it has not been difficult to arouse interest. It is proposed to publish the debates on this and the other ques- tions proposed by the Educational Committee of the League, in the hope that these much-mooted problems may be either solved or answered.
