THE GARGOYLE CLUB.
“The Gargoyles” have arranged to hold all meetings for the year 1907 at the Hofbrau Haus, at Broadway and Thirtieth Street. This society is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, and its membership is formed of architects, draughtsmen, sculptors, artists, designers, engineers and others of the allied arts.
The officers elected at the last annual meeting for the ensuing year are: Henry C. Van Cleef, presidant; Ed. H. Rosengarten, vice-president; W. F. Anderson, corresponding secretary; A. M. Hadley, recording secretary; W. J. Blackburn, treasurer; W. T. L. Armstrong, chairman of Current Work Committee; Ed. L. Howell, chairman of Entertainment Committee; C. F. Winkelman, chairman of Job Committee.
The last meeting was in the form of a
smoker, which was attended by fifty or more, among whom were a number of representatives from the Kit Kat Club. Part of the entertainment was a humorous playlet, followed by impromptu features from those present.
ARCHITECTURAL LEAGUE OF NEW YORK.
The Architectural League of New York held its twenty-second annual dinner February I in the galleries of the American Fine Arts League.
Mr. Frederic Crowninshield, vice-president of the Fine Arts Federation, spoke on “The Municipality’s Responsibility to Art.” He said this city had done more in this direction than the general public gave credit for. The present administration, he said, showed a desire to encourage the development of the fine arts by naming an architect for one of the important civic boards. He doubted, however, whether the architects themselves were doing all they might do to encourage and develop public taste.
Before introducing the next speaker, Mr. R. H. Hunt, president, criticised the makeup of: the board of trustees of “our citytreasure house of art.” He said:
“Of the twenty-four members who compose the governing body of the Metropolitan Museum of Art only three are artists. I consider it a crying shame that a board controlling this important institution should not number more men who understand, love and work for art.”
Mr. Grosvenor Atterbury announced that last year’s medal had been awarded to Carrere & Hastings, while the medal of this
year would be given to the firm of McKim, Mead & White for its design of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Royal Cortissoz said that architects were doing more to cultivate the extravagant tastes of the rich than any other class of men. He said it was all wrong to design banks and department-stores to look like so many pseudo palaces, and then when the rich man wanted a palace to give him something which looked like a department-store. Buildings, he said, should suggest and serve the purpose for which they were intended.
Mr. Cortissoz said men tried to build palaces before they knew how to build good roads, and declared that the streets of the metropolis were an abomination. He took up the present method of numbering and lettering streets, and said that instead of being eyesores, as they now are, they could be made things of beauty.
Among other speakers were H. R. Marshall and Arnold W. Brunner.—New York T ribune.
