SEVENTY-SIX PLATES LONDON: T. C. & E. C. JACK 16 HENRIETTA STREET, W.C.; AND EDINBURGH 19 0 7 The History OF THE Carnegie Foundation. j O far ago as 1902 Mr. ANDREW CARNEGIE announced his intention to found a Library for the Permanent Court of Arbitration, created at the Hague by the Peace Congress held in the year 1899. As a result of conferences with one of the American members of the Peace Congress and with the Dutch Ambassador at Washington, Mr. CARNEGIE, feeling, as is generally known, a great interest in everything contributing to prevent the terrors ol war, and therefore also for the work of the Hague Congress, took a resolution in the following year to considerably extend his first plan by placing a sum of one and a half million of dollars at the disposal of the Dutch Government, to be allocated to the foundation of a building for the use of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and for a Library in connection therewith, the two in conjunction to form a Palace of Peace. In order to realize on a solid basis and in lawful terms the purpose of this considerable donation, an agreement was made, that Mr. CARNEGIE should establish under the Dutch law a „Foundation” to build, furnish and keep in repair at the Hague a Palace and a Library for the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and that the Dutch Government should appoint a Managing Committee and fix the Statutes of the „Foundation”. The certificate of birth of the Foundation was registered on the 7* of October 1903 at Castle „Skibo” in Scotland. As soon as this had been done the Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs appointed a special Committee to consider and advice upon the preparatory measures to be taken for the building of the Palace, to be utilized both for the Court and the Library. This Committee, whose President was the Hon. A. F. DE SAVORNIN LOHMAN, W. R. WARE, (Milton, Mass.), Ex-Professor of Architecture at the Columbian University, Columbia, New-York. The State-Architect D. E. C. KNUTTEL, acted as a Secretary. According to the Conditions it was stipulated that the designs were to be handed in at the Hague within a period of seven months, but in consequence of several requests this period was lengthened by a month. Thus, on the 15* of April 1906, eight months after the issue of the Conditions, 216 projects, containing more than 3000 drawings, had been sent to the Hague. Only two sets were submitted after the expiration of the stipulated time, and these had to be refused. All the sets were marked with sequential numbers and exlribited for the consideration of the Jury in the Halls of the Palace at Kneuterdijk, which Her Majesty the Queen had most graciously placed at the disposal of the Committee. The Jury assembled at the Hague on May 3'''’ and immediately began its business, first visiting the grounds destined for the erection of the building. On May 1 1* the decision was announced, and on the ne.xt day the Report was drawn up. The six prizes, placed at the disposal of the Jury, were allocated as follows : I®* Prize Mr. L. M. CORDONNIER of Lille, 2"'* „ Mr. a. marcel of Paris, 3’'‘> „ Mr. F. WENDT of Charlottenburg, 4* „ Mr. O. WAGNER of Vienna, 5* „ Messieurs H. GREENLEY and H. S. OLIN of New-York, 6* „ Mr. F. SCHWECHTER of Berlin. The exhibition of the designs, as prescribed in the conditions, was opened on June ii* and closed on July 17* after having been visited by 5439 persons, 598 of whom had entrance tickets available for the whole period. 4 A Deed TO Create a „Stichting” (foundation or trust under the Netherland Law) FOR THE PURPOSE OF erecting and maintaining at The Hague (Kingdom of the Netherlands) A COURT-HOUSE AND LIBRARY FOR THE PERMANENT COURT OF ARBITRATION, Established by the treaty of the 29* of July 1899. ELIEVING that the establishment of a Permanent Court of Arbitration by the Treaty of the 29* of July 1899 is the most important step forward of a worldwide humanitarian character which has ever been taken by the joint Powers, as it must ultimately banish war, and further, being of opinion that the cause of the Peace Conference will greatly benefit by the erection of a Court-House and Library for the Permanent Court of Arbitration, I, ANDREW CARNEGIE, of the City of New-York, am willing to furnish a sum of one and one half million dollars for the said purpose, which sum has been placed at the disposal of the Netherland Government. Understanding, that it would be desirable to give a permanent character to my intention, and that it will be necessary, for that purpose, to create with the said sum a „STICHTING”, (foundation or trust under the Netherland Law), I, ANDREW CARNEGIE, have declared and declare hereby : to create with the sum of one and one half million dollars mentioned above and named by me in my letter to Baron GEVERS, dated 22"'^ of April 1903, a „STICHTING” (foundation or trust under the Netherland Law) for the purpose of building, establishing and maintaining in perpetuity at the Hague a Court-House and Library (Temple of Peace) for the Permanent Court of Arbitration established by the Treaty of July 29* 1899.

MARCEL, of Paris; the THIRD by Mr. F. WENDT, of Charlottenburg; the FOURTH by Mr. O. WAGNER, of VIENNA; the FIFTFI by Messrs. HOWARD GREENLEY and HUBERT S. OLIN, of New-York; and the SIXTH by Mr. F. SCHWECHTEN, of Berlin. Of the prize winners four belonged to the number of architects that had been specially invited by the Committee to take part in the competition. The Jury then unanimously agreed upon the following REPORT. The 216 designs submitted to the Jury exhibit three types of plan. In some of them the Library and Court of Arbitration are housed in separate buildings, connected by a corridor. In others they occupy the same building, which in some of them is lighted from external courts, that are enclosed on only three sides, in others from internal courts, one or more in number, enclosed on all sides. Among these the Jury were required to select six designs which should become the property of the Committee, and which the Committee could use as a basis from which to proceed in finally obtaining from the architect, whom they would employ, a design for execution. In so doing the Jury have selected those which, in their judgment, best embody these three different schemes. Design No. 213. Motto : S’G. This design is an attractive one. Its author has considered that, in as much as The Hague has been chosen as the permanent seat of the Court of Arbitration, the building should in style follow the local traditions of XVI century architecture. These considerations have finally prevailed with the majority of the Jury. This design somewhat emphasises the distinction between the Library and the Court of Arbitration, which is indicated by the programme, connecting them only by a corridor. But it has failed to give a sufficient unity of character to the two different portions of the structure. 15 Design No. 194. Motto : PAX (in gold letters). In this design it is only the plan that has at all commended Itself. Its general arrangement is very good and is eminently that of a building standing in a park; the large rooms are well lighted by side windows, and in the rear part the Library rooms are admirably disposed around a garden, forming a kind of cloister. But both in the plan and in the elevation the lines of the composition noticeably depart from the noble simplicity which should characterise a building devoted to the serious and dignified purposes of the Peace Palace, without at the same time evincing any special originality of treatment. Design No. 132. Motto ; CONCORDIA PARVAE RES CRESCUNT, DISCORDIA MAXIMAL DILABUNTUR. This design meets the requirements of the programme in a simple and straight-forward way, though an undesirable amount of space is given to vestibules and corridors. The exterior, though it exhibits a suitable dignity of character, is somewhat still and monotonous. Design No. 17. Motto: L’ART DE L’fiPOQUE. In the written memorandum, which accompanies this design, the author explains that a Palace of Peace, being something new, seems to him to require novel methods of artistic treatment. The result is interesting and is not without originality, and though the plan has obvious defects, it meets fairly well the chief requirements of the programme. Design No. 79. Motto : The exterior is greatly to be praised both for simplicity and for suitability of character. But the round ends of the principal fafade injure this effect, and the room of the 16 Administrative Council on one side and a series of smaller rooms on the other are lighted only from beneath colonnades. The plan is well studied and is distinguished from most of the others by a notable economy of space. Design No. 1 30. Motto: EIRENE. The exterior of this design is well composed, though not particularly interesting or dignified, and while the noticeably unsymmetrical plan shows some careful study, the small, narrow light-areas seem out of place in a building occupying an open site. The Hague, May 12 th 1906. 17 The Architects and their Works. (SUCCINCT NOTES.) OUIS MARIE CORDONNIER, the winner of the First Prize, was born at Haubourdin, near Lille on July 7*, 1854.
