Although students in this department do much of their work in rooms
specially provided for them, in their general studies and lectures they
are associated with the other students of the University and thus reap
the advantages coming from such association.

Throughout, it has been the purpose in this school, to treat
architecture as a fine art and not merely as the science of
construction, and to this end instruction in the general history of the
Fine Arts and practice in design are made the central features about
which the other studies are grouped.

The course as laid out is intended to cover four years, and may be
supplemented by post-graduate work; while on the other hand a large
part of the general studies may be anticipated by students of the
College who wish to take the professional studies after completing the
usual course in the college proper. Especial stress is laid upon
educating the taste and discrimination of the student, and association
with cultivated men and familiarity with the best efforts of the past,
are the two most important influences to this end.

Personal.

Mr. C. D. Maginnis, recently returned from abroad, and who has for
several years been in the office of Mr. E. M. Wheelwright, city
architect, has opened an office at 27 School Street, Boston. He is
prepared to do all kinds of architectural drawing, in pen, pencil, or
water color, and will work up competition drawings and sketches.

Mr. W. H. Kilham, Mr. E. P. Dana, and several others have recently been
added to the working force of Messrs. Winslow & Wetherell, whose office
is now the largest in Boston.

Mr. W. T. Partridge, who has for several years been with Messrs. Eames &
Young, in St. Louis, has severed his connection with them and will
probably return to the East.

Club Notes.

The summer work of the Sketch Club of New York has been laid out to
include sketching trips in the outlying neighborhood of New York City.
On alternate Saturdays members of the Club meet at one of the piers and
take a small steam yacht to points along the East River and Long Island
Sound, spending the Sunday in sketching. On the intermediate Sundays,
rambles through West Chester occupy those who are disposed to join in
the excursions. These trips are laid out to include the time from July
13 to September 28.
