ual election of officers and the competition
of summer sketches as called for by the Club syllabus was found to be
too much for one evening, and consequently the judging of the sketches
was postponed a week.
The following officers were elected: President, Albert Kelsey;
Vice-President, Edgar V. Seeler; Secretary, A.B. Lacey; Treasurer,
David K. Boyd; Executive Committee, Walter Cope, Louis C. Hickman,
William L. Price.
The summer sketches, which were judged at one of the Club's Bohemian
Nights, were of unusual quality and quantity. Walter Cope, who won
first mention, had a large collection of pencil drawings representing
the fruits of his labor in Spain.
Walter Price (who won third place) and John Bissegger had one end of
the room covered with sketches in color and line made during a recent
trip through England, and Wilson Eyre, Jr., the winner of the second
mention, had a variety of subjects beautifully rendered on quaint
paper, and in his well-known and ever novel way.

Music and beer were plentiful, and had a cheering effect upon Titus,
Dull, Kelsey, and Klauder, whose summer work failed to score a
mention.
The syllabus of the Club's work for the coming year has just been
issued and contains some features of special interest. The problems in
design are chosen with much care and the programmes are more explicit
than is usual, and will doubtless contribute to the usefulness of the
work to be done.
The T Square Club appears to be more fortunate than some of the other
architectural clubs in having interested and succeeded in holding the
interest of a number of the stronger of the older men among the local
architects. It now numbers about one hundred and twenty members,
and its work is necessarily having considerable influence in outside
circles.
Its example is a good one to hold up before other and less influential
clubs.

Among the architectural clubs thus far noticed in this column no
account has been taken of the clubs connected with the architectural
schools. Of these there are at present several which are doing good
and effective work, but the only one of which we have data for a
description is that connected with Lehigh University. The school of
architecture, as it is called, is not a school of architecture at all,
but of engineering (which is a very different thing), but its work
is none the less dignifi
