PERSONAL MENTION
Palo Alto, Cal. — Mr. Charles Edward Hodges, who designed the Stanford Gymnasium and Memorial Arch, which are both now in ruins, has tendered his resignation as resident architect of Stanford University. He had been at Stanford since the opening of the university, having been appointed by Senator Stanford. It is believed that his resignation was prompted by the criticism that has been made regarding the great damage to the university buildings by the earthquake and the inferential suggestion that the architect was at fault.
Utica, N. Y. — Mr. Linn Kinne, architect, of Herkimer, has established offices at Room 98, Utica City National Bank Building.
Buffalo, N. Y. — Mr. Harris Newton, of Bidwell Parkway, has gone to San Francisco, where he expects to engage in the work of architect and builder.
Paris, France. — Mr. Andrew O’Connor, who is to furnish the sculpture for Essex County Court-house, at Newark, N. J., has been awarded by the Paris Salon the highest medal that it is possible for a foreigner to receive.
Waltham, Mass. — Mr. Edwin L. Reed, Architect, has filed a suit at Cambridge for $1, 012. 75 against the city of Waltham, claiming that amount due for the drawing of plans and superintending the building of a Manual Training School.
Cincinnati, O. — A partnership of long standing between Messrs. James W. Mc Laughlin, Dean of the Cincinnati Architects, and James Gilmore has been dissolved. Mr. McLaughlin will still have his offices at 409-410 Johnston Building, while Mr. Gilmore has taken quarters at room 506, Fourth National Bank Building, 4th St., between Vine and Walnut.
Philadelphia, Pa. — Mr. Albert Kelsey has sailed for Europe to attend the seventh International Congress of Architects, where he will deliver an address as the delegate from both the T-Square Club and the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
San Francisco, Cal. — Mr. G. Albert Lansburgh, a Californian who has just returned to California with the intention of making his home here, was awarded at this year’s salon in Paris a gold medal for architectural composition which he exhibited. News of the award was cabled to this city yesterday. The young architect received his early education in the public schools of San Francisco and at the University of California. He went abroad seven years ago, spent a year in travel, and devoted six years to study in Paris. He is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts at Paris, received his Government diploma as architect last year, was awarded several medals in the regular competition in the School of Fine Arts at Paris, and made an excellent record while at that school.
Baltimore, Md. — On June 24 Mr. Frank C. Baldwin, of Stratton & Baldwin, sailed for London, England, to attend the International Congress of Architects, to which he is a delegate.
Philadelphia, Pa. — Mr. Thomas Nolan, Assistant Professor of Architecture in the University of Pennsylvania, has been ap
pointed a delegate to represent the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute at the seventh International Congress of Architects, to be held in London in July.
