 The accompanying plates, representing, for the most part, 
 the pictorial side of the work in the College of Architecture, 
 are selected from a large number of drawings which have 
 been made during the past year and a half. So far as they 
 go they illustrate the character and variety of interests en- 
 joyed by the students. A very considerable portion of the 
 students' time is, however, given up to theoretical and 
 applied mathematics, graphics, advanced construction, and 
 such special studies as Heating and Ventilating, Timber 
 Physics, Clay Products, etc. History of Architecture and 
 History of Art occupy a prominent place in the curriculum, 
 and the seminaries cover an important field, dealing with 
 a large variety of subjects of both general and technical 
 interest. 
 
 It has been decided, within the past year, to depart from 
 the ancient custom of requiring exactly the same line of 
 work of all students and, instead, to permit those who show 
 any special aptitude for the constructive side of the work to 
 specialize in that direction during the latter part of the 
 course. Also, it has been decided to permit students who 
 show a particular tendency toward decorative design to sub- 
 stitute problems in decoration for those in pure archi- 
 tectural design during the latter part of the course. It is 
 thought that this latter arrangement will be particularly 
 advantageous to women. 
 
 For information relating to entrance requirements, cost of 
 living, board, tuition, etc., address The Registrar, Cornell 
 University, Ithaca, N. Y. 
 
Special students are admitted to two years of 
 study in architecture and in decoration. As these 
 special courses are designed to supplement practi- 
 cal experience gained in offices and in studios, no 
 one will be admitted as a special who has not had 
 the equivalent of at least three years' experience 
 in an architect's or a decorator's office. For com- 
 plete details governing admission to the special 
 courses, apply to the Professor in charge of the 
 College of Architecture.

 The medal shown above is a memorial to Charles Good- 
 win Sands, a graduate in architecture of the class of '90, 
 who died in 1893, ^"'^ '* ^ S'^' '° ^^^ College from the fam- 
 ily of the deceased. The design is by Charles Grafly of 
 Philadelphia, and the dies were cut at the United States 
 Mint in Philadelphia. The medal is issued to students who 
 reach in architectural design what is known as the medal 
 grades. In this way it serves to keep alive the standards of 
 the College. The cathedral by Mr. Dole was judged worthy 
 of the first medal, which is the highest grade of work in the 
 College. The replica is struck in silver. The second medal 
 grade is shown in Mr. Ackerman's design for a State Capitol. 
 The replica is in bronze. 
 
LS®ft ©f Plates. 
 
 PLATES I. AND II. 
 
 The drawings for an Episcopal Cathedral were made by 
 
 Mr. Dole, the Travelling Fellow in Architecture, after his 
 
 first trip to Europe. Prior to his departure for Europe, he 
 
 was told that upon his return the Faculty would give him 
 
 the problem of a large cathedral for modern usages. This 
 
 enabled Mr. Dole to study, from a practical point of view, 
 
 the various cathedrals of Europe. In addition to the three 
 
 shown, the drawings comprised a from elevation and two 
 
 sections . 
 
 PLATES III. AND IV. 
 
 The scheme for a College of Fine Arts contains one 
 more drawing, an elevation fifteen feet long, of the western 
 or museum front. This problem was given Mr. Dole as a 
 "Prix de Rome" problem, the bird's-eye perspective taking 
 the place of the customary section. The drawings are also 
 useful in showing what the Faculty of the College believe 
 to be a feasible scheme for a monumental College of Fine 
 Arts at Cornell University. 
 
 PLATES V. AND VI. 
 The second competition for the Travelling Fellowship, 
 held last summer, resulted in the selection of the author of 
 these drawings. The Program called for a ceiling in the 
 State House of one of our Eastern States. Each drawing 
 covers a double elephant sheet of Whatman paper. Mr. 
 Tissington worked in advanced design during the first term 
 of the University year, and sailed for Europe in February for 
 a six months' trip. 
 
PLATES VII. AND VIII. 
 The designs for Armories were submitted recently in one 
 of the regular competitions of the Society of Beaux-Arts 
 Architects. In addition to these drawings, each student pre- 
 sented a side elevation, a floor plan, and a section. 
 
 PLATESIX.andX. 
 The required drawings in this problem were a plan, an 
 elevation, and a section. The work is fairly representative 
 of the average problem in first-class design. 
 
 PLATE XI. 
 Drawing from life comes twice a week throughout the year. 
 It is required work of Seniors during the first term, but is 
 taken voluntarily by members of the other classes. There 
 are separate classes for men and for women. 
 
 PLATES XII. AND XIII. 
 
 Interior Decoration is now studied by some of the members 
 of the Junior and Senior classes as a substitute for Archi- 
 tectural Design. This arrangement is applied to those who 
 show a special aptitude for decoration. Special students are 
 admitted to the study of Interior Decoration upon satis f a c- 
 torv fulfilment of entrance requirements. For further in- 
 formation address the Professor in charge of the College of 
 Architecture. 
 
 PLATE XIV. 
 
 The study of Perspective is taken up in the Freshman year, 
 when the students are familiarized with the customary meth- 
 
ods of laying out perspectives. During the Junior and Senior 
 years this study of the Freshman year is given a practical ap- 
 plication through problems in design, in which perspectives, 
 usually at a scale of one-quarter of an inch to the foot, are 
 drawn and rendered. 
 
 PLATE XV. 
 
 In this problem an elevation at double the scale of the plan 
 and a section at the same scale as that of the plan comprised, 
 with the plan, the required drawings. The conditions im- 
 posed were those which would apply to a large opera-house in 
 a metropolis. 
 
 PLATE XVI. 
 
 One of the most important exercises in the work of the 
 College is the Sketch Problem. Students are asked to report 
 for work at eight a.m., and at that hour are given a printed 
 program, detailing the conditions and scale of drawing re- 
 quired. They are then required to design and render the 
 problem between that hour and six p.m. of the same day. 
 
 PLATES XVII. AND XVIII. 
 These plates of a State Capitol represent the regular first- 
 class problem of the spring term of 1900. A section accom- 
 panied these drawings. 
 
 PLATES XIX. AND XX. 
 The first term of the Junior year is given up to this kind 
 of work, as well as to steel and fireproof construction. The 
 object of the course is not so much to develop trained con- 
 structors as it is to give the students a working knowledge of 
 
modern methods of building." Students desiring to specialize 
 in construction may do so in the latter part of the course, 
 
 PLATES XXI. AND XXir. 
 In the Sophomore year the students draw from the antique in 
 the museum of casts, and in the Junior year classes are formed 
 for out-of-door sketching. The sketches shown on Plate 
 XXII. were done in and near Buffalo by Messrs. Ackerman 
 and Straight during the summer following their Junior year. 
 
 PLATE XXIII. 
 
 Usually during the Sophomore year a problem like this one 
 
 is given, in order to test and apply the ability of the class in 
 
 figure-drawing. 
 
 PLATE XXIV. 
 
 This d r a w i nS/^^i 1 f 'U 1 u4m e c t u r a 1 and half decorative, illus- 
 trates a kind'^^of problem wjiich is often given to Sophomores 
 while they are beginning the study of composition. A plan 
 and section of the doorway accompanied the larger drawing 
 of the side of the room.
