SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1924

To the President of the University

SIR:

As Director of the School of Architecture, I have the honor to submit the following report for the academic year ending June 30, 1924.

Training in architecture might well be defined as the process of leading the students' imagination from elementary instruction to reproductive thinking and from this to production and finally to vision, that sense with which genius is born but which must, in the average mortal, be cultivated. Vision is the faculty of seeing by imagination an idea as an object rounded out in three dimensions, defined in mass, line proportion and color. It is that God-like gift by which the Greeks envisaged beauty clearly defined, to the minutest shadow of a line and the most delicate perception of proportion. Our problem in the School of Architecture is not only to stimulate the imagination but to develop it into clear vision, restrained. by painstaking study of those refinements which establish good taste.

It is now fashionable in America to liken our tendencies and even our probable decline to those of Rome, citing as proof the resemblance of American public buildings to those of ancient Rome. While our stadiums and places of public assembly are not unlike those of the ancients, the majority of our buildings are of a new system of construction and are defined by new requirements. This requires us in our teaching to guide students to personal and independent thought in design, and also to acquaint them with the achievements of the past and those truths of beauty which consciously or unconsciously control all artists.

[ocr errors]

The past year has attended the carrying out of these principles of instruction. The increased attendance and the higher quality of new students suggest some modification as to the requirements for entrance, for we are forced to admit. that the facilities of the school limit the number of students to a maximum of 120.

The registration in the School of Architecture for 1923-1924 was as follows:

There were graduated this year II students with the degree of Bachelor of Architecture and one with the degree of Master of Science in Architecture.

The Schermerhorn Fellowship, established in recognition of the liberality of Mr. F. Augustus Schermerhorn, and awarded every three years, was offered this spring on the usual competitive basis, the subject being the design of a War Memorial. The winner must, in all cases, spend a year in foreign travel and study under the direction of the Administrative Board. Mr. T. Merrill Prentice won the prize of approximately $1,875, and Mr. Lawrence Moore's design was placed second. The quality of all drawings submitted in this competition shows improvement.

The American Institute of Architects Medal is awarded annually to the student who has maintained, during his entire course, the best general standard of scholarship in all departments. Mr. T. Merrill Prentice received this medal.

The Alumni Medal, which is offered annually by the Alumni Association of the School of Architecture to the student who maintained the highest standard in Advanced Design throughout his entire course, was awarded to Mr. T. Merrill Prentice. This is the first time in the history of the School, that one student has received all three honors.

In general competitions judged by the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, the School submitted the following number of designs:

The record in Design-Columbia problems and sketcheswas as follows:

'The increased registration makes necessary more assistance in design. This will have to be arranged for, should the next registration not fall below present figures.
