study must have been completed
and a letter, from the president or

INQUIERHNG REPORTER

An Inquiring Reporter was sent
around among the architects to try
and learn what they thought
should be included in the newly
founded Arx Column. Evidently
most of the men had not given
very much serious thought to the
matter. They had accepted the
column as a matter of course and
let it rest at that. Some of the
suggestions received were not ex-
actly feasible to any great degree
while others were iood for thought.
Suggestions are as follows:

C. K. Simons, Soph.: “Continue
to report the Beaux Arts medal
awards and exhibitions."

J. Palma, 801311.: “Report the
personal experiences of the archi-
tectural students.”

J. Peterson, Junior: “Write up
some snappy reports of the activi-
ties of the various classes. It
should be personal to a degree of
interest to the engineer."

D. Michel, Fresh: “Report the
activities of the four different
classes in the department of archi—
tecture.”

M. C. Price, Soph.: “Report im-
portant city building programs."

E. Minx, Junior: “Publish all
news covering the department of
architecture of interest to all.”

J. Donnelly, Frosh.: “I should
like to see the news column full of
interesting personals.”

A. Kuklin, Senior: “It would be
of interest to the undergraduate if
the activities of the former archi-
tectural students and alumni would
be published in the column.”

M. Meyer, Senior: “I should like
to see part of the column converted
into an architects’ job bureau,
wherein present students could
come into contact with the archi-
tectural world.”

S. Levin, Senior: “The Arx News
Column should exchange news with
papers from other architectural
schools.”

H. Pappageorge, Fresh: “The
column should contain everything
of interest that would tend to bring
closer the relationships between the
architects and the engineers. "

W. Jansen, Fresh: "Publish all
departmental personals.”

SCARAB INITIATES

The LScarab architectural fra-
ternity held a formal initiation at
the Phi Kappa Sigma house on
Wednesday evening, April 16th. The
men taken in were: Martin H.
Braun, Alfred L. Mell, R. Golds—
bourgh, Alvin Wichser, James E.
Peterson. After the dinner, Mr.
Sincere, Mr. Suter and Mr. Voita
were the speakers.

Professor Dean, Senior architec-
tural critic, is back to his classes
after his recent illness.

Dance Held Friday
By Foreign Students

 

The International Students As-
sociation gave dance Friday
night, April 25, at Ida Noyes Hall
of the University of Chicago, under
the management of Director Dixon.

Over one hundred couples at—
tended.

The organization gives such a
dance about eight times a year,
each dance being dedicated to
some foreign country represented
by members of the Association.
This dance was dedicated to Ger-

to incorporate on April 17th and
the new title is now Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Turk. Mrs. Turk was Eliza~
beth Murison before her marriage.
Mr. Turk is instructor in History of
Architecture and Freehand Draw—
ing at Crane Junior College. Crane
College seems to be particularly
lucky for Mr. Turk “as it was here
that he met Mrs. Turk while they
both were attending school.

Turk and Crizevsky led the two
Armour teams in last year's Rome
prize competition. Turll’s team
rated a First Mention. The prob—
lem, sponsored by the Alumni of
the American Academy of Rome,
was A Salon for a Transatlantic
Liner.

PHOTOGRAPH EXHIBIT

The First Annual Exhibition of
Photographs of Pictorial Chicago
and Chicagoland is being held in
the Narcissus Room of Marshall
Field and Co. and is sponsored by
the Woman’s Chicago Beautiful
Association.

The exhibition includes quite a
few photographs of interest to the
architectural students. It is some—
thing well worth paying a visit to.
It started April 2151; and will con~
tinue for several weeks.

Lighting Speech

 

Mr. Carman D. Miller, of the
Curtis Lighting Company was the
speaker at the last regular meet-
ing of the Armours Branch of the
A. I. E. E. held Thursday, April 1'7
at 1:00 P. M. in Science Hall. The
subject given was “Color Lighting.”

Mr. Miller, having had much cum
pericnce in color lighting with the
Curtis Company, was well qualified
to speak on this subject. By means
of slides, the difference between a
world with color and a world with-
out color was first illustrated, fol—
lowed by a short discussion of the
analogy between color and music.
In connection with the latter, the
electricals, learned that red is used
to denote tragedy; blue, cold or
sadness; amber, warmth: and
green, freshness.

Pyrex Lenses Used

With the introduction of the
gas-filled lamp, which is run on a
higher temperature basis than the
old vacuum lamp, those who deal
with color lighting found that the
colored gelatins and glass would
not stand the increase in tempera"
ture. This necessitated the use of
pyrex glass in a modified form for
the color lenses.

One of the facts which the
speaker emphasized was the fact
that motion and color attract at—
tention and that the principles un~
derlying these facts are made use
of in window displays.

In closing, Mr. Miller invited the
Senior Electricals to inspect the
downtown offices of the Curtis
Lighting Company and, presented
the Armour Library with a book on
lighting published by the Curtis
Lighting Company and written by
J. S. stain, Chief Engineer with
this firm.

 

 

 

 

Junior E. P. E. Class
inspects Soap Plant

The Junior F. P. E. class made
an inspection trip to the Holman
Soap Company, Thursday, April 24,
under the guidance of Professor J.
J. Schommcr.

The class then followed the
process of soap making as manu—
factured, on a small commercial
scale. The tallow and greases are
melted by steam and drain down
into the kettles where the saponi-
fication with sodium hydroxide oc-
curs. The soap, after treatment
with salt for purification, is poured
into frames; then. is slabbed,
crutched, and pressed into bars.

Various types of soap, perfume,
and toilet articles are manufac-
tured at this plant.

Mr. Frank Erion, Insurance Ad—
justor, will be the speaker at the
next to last meeting of the F. P.
E. Society, Wednesday, April 30, in
Science Hall at 9:30 o'clock.

The subject will be “Adjusting
the Fire Loss."

Fire recently broke out in the Pi
Kappa Alpha house at the Uni—
versity of Michigan. Damage of
$1,000 resulted because no one in
the house had a nickel to put in
the pay telephone to call the fire
department.

 

W S. E. Hears ibis
By Contract Engineer

 

The Armour Branch of the Wes —
em Society of Engineers held a
meeting April 16th in B, Mission,
at which Mr. Edward D. Lord, con—
tract engineer for Holabird and
Root, architects, was the speaker.
His topic was the generalities of
the Board of Trade Building. The
building cost upwards of eleven
million dollars, said Mr. Lord, and
such a building had been planned
for seventeen years.

Mr. Lord brought a small model
to scale of. the building and also
a model of a statue symbolizing
Chicago to go on the smoke stack.
The statue itself is thirty-two feet.
One of the main features of the
building is the stock pit of which
the ceiling is fiftyusevcn feet from
the floor with no columns in the
room. Nine trusses hold up the re-
mainder of the building each of
wthh is two stories high. The
trusses are so large that they had
to be fabricated on the building.
At the end of the lecture, Mr. Lord
promised to conduct the students
on an inspection trip through the
building in the near future.
