T-SQUARE CLUB, PHILADELPHIA.
On behalf of the T-Square Club and the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, Francis Fisher Kay presented petitions to Judge Audenried, January 19, asking for the appointment of an architect when the next vacancy occurs on the Board of Education.
The petitions are addressed to the Board of Judges, of which Judge Audenried is secretary, and to which is delegated the power of appointing the Board of Education. The document from the T-Square Club is signed by Walter Smedley, President;. Thomas M. Kellogg and John Molitor. The letter from the American Institute of Architects is signed by James M. Jamieson, President, and Arnold H. Moses, Secretary.
Both organizations ask that the Board of Judges permit committees to wait upon them and explain their reasons for asking for the appointment of an architect on the board.
They are set forth briefly in a resolution adopted by the T-Square Club and contained in its petition, as follows:
Resolved, That the T-Square Club call the attention of the Board of Judges to the desirability of appointing some one representing the art interests of the city as a member of the Board of Education, as heretofore the membership of the board has consisted of men identified with the business interests of the city only.
And be it further resolved, That it is the opinion of the T-Square Club that such an.
appointment would advance the artistic development of our city in line with the work already accomplished in St. Louis and Boston, as evidenced in their school-houses, and that a committee of three, including the President, be appointed to present these resolutions to the Plonorable Board of Judges.
WASHINGTON ARCHITECTURAL CLUB.
Washington Architectural Club members are proud of the winner of the Club’s traveling scholarship for 1905, Fred V. Murphy. Word has been received that he obtained the highest average of any foreign student who took the ten days’ examinations in the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts, at Paris.
CINCINNATI CHAPTER A. I. A.
The Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute of Architects held its regular monthly meeting and banquet Jan. 16, at the Business Men’s Club. The subject up for discussion was the widening of Gilbert Ave., between Florence Ave. and McMillan St. The guests of the Chapter were William Walker Smith, President, and F. M. Coppock and other members of the Walnut Hills Business Club, which organization is agitating the improvement.
The scheme of the hilltop organization as has been published, was discussed by Mr. Smith, who was followed by A. S. Winslow with an illustrated talk. He was of the opinion that the four corners should be rounded off and that new streets should be constructed through the part which the club wants widened, at the same time leaving Gilbert Ave. in its original condition.
Architect Rapp sprang a compromise, which was favorably received. He favored
the extension of Melrose Ave. to McMillan St. and the carrying out of the club’s plan in general. Mr. Rapp suggested the condemnation of all the property on the west side of Gilbert Ave. to Finch alley, and the forming of a plaza in the centre of this triangular square, where a car-station of architectural beauty could be constructed. His scheme on this point is to divert the several car lines now passing that corner about this station. Mr. Rapp believed his plan would cost nearly $100,000 less than the one proposed by the Walnut Hills Business Club.

recognized as one of the best artists on the coast. Mr. Cummings is at present instructor in modeling at Mark Hopkins.
The addition of these courses to the department is largely the result of the efforts of the newly organized architectural club.
