RICHARD C. MACLAURINTHE LEADER

The Man Who Has Now Brought aNew Technology to a Glorious

Reality.

President Richard Cockburn Mac-laurin, under whose guidance theTechnology has found its way out oftroubled waters to its present posi-tion of security, is a Scotchman, butih process of becoming an Americancitizen; for as soon as was possiblehis application was filed for natural-ization. He.was born in Edinburghin 1870; his early boyhood was spentin New Zealand, whence he returnedto England to complete his prelimi-nary education in English schools.In 1892 he entered the University ofCambridge where he held a follnda-tion scholarship in St. John's Cnlleze.He took two degrees at Cambridge-Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts.the thesis work for the latter beingmost advanced mathematics. He re-ceived the Smith Prize for excellencein mathematics. Upon his gradua-tion he was elected Fellow of St.John's College.

Dr. Maclaurin next spent tenmonths in the United States and Caii.ada (1896-97) studing and visitingeducational institutions and spenilngmuch time at McGill, Toronto, andIreland Stanford Universities. Re-turning to England he re-enteredCambridge, this time to study law.and was awarded the McMahon LawStudentship, the most highly valuedof its kind in the university.

In 1898 Dr. Maclaurin was appointed Professor of Mathematics inthe University of New Zealand, be-came a trustee of the university andtook an active part in the organiza-tion of technical education in the col-ony., In 1903 he became Dean of theFaculty of Law in the university,which office he held for four years.In 1907 he was invited to take thechair of Mathematical Physics at Co-lumbia University, New York, anda year later was made head of theDepartment of Physics.

In 1898 the degree of Doctor ofScience was conferred upon Profes-sor Maclaurin by Cambridge Univer-sity for his researches in pure sci-ence, and again in 1904 he was hon-ored with the degree of Doctor ofLaws by the same university for hisachievements in the study of law.

November 23, 1908, Dr. Maclaurinwas appointed by the Corporation ofTechnology to be President, and fromthat day he has been steadily work-ing for the Institute with that suc-cess which has been so often 'setforth by announcements of substan-tial aid to it and its departments.Without a head since the resignationof Dr. Pritchett, the Institute hadbeen unable to discuss importantquestions. One of these was themanifest impossibility of continuingits work in its present quarters if thefull plans of its founders were to becarried out, and there were financialproblems of consequence. Technol-ogy was then moving under short-ened sail till the real captain shouldcome aboard.

Dr. Maclaurin unified the Corpora-tion and the Faculty. and with his

President RICHARD C. MACLAURIN

President Richard C. Maclaurin to-day makes public the first authora-tive statement of the plans and pre-sents the first drawings of the greatwhite city that is soon to take itsplace on the Charles River Embank-ment. It will indeed be a white city,as the picture suggests, and to amuch greater degree, since the mate-rial selected for the exterior walls andfacades is a white Indiana limestone,although, of course, the walls them-selves will be of that great nineteenthcentury invention, reinforced, or, asthe latest nomenclature expresses it,armored concrete. The interiorcourts will be faced with light-coloredbrick.

From the photographs any one cangain for himself an idea of the mag-nificent proportions of the greatgroup of buildings. There has neverbeen selected in this country a sitecomparable to this for an educationalinstitution and Technology is risingsplendidly to meet the occasion. Inthe midst of the great metropolis ofGreater .Boston there has been es-tablished the picturesque CharlesRiver Basin, a water park of hun-dreds of acres. Its embankments af-ford an unexampled opportunity forthat municipal planning of architec-ture which is such a delight in Euro-pean cities. Until now the opportuni-

EFFICIENCY THE KEYNOTEOF GENERAL PLANS

Logical Arrangements of Buildings,Future Development and Needs

Considered.

When it was evident that the Mas-sachusetts Institute of Technologywould presently be moved a uniquemethod was adopted in its planningwith the idea of securing buildingsfitted for the special purposes of theschool. It not infrequently happensthat an institution must fit itself towhat it finds in the way of construc-tion, and this always involves moreor less of misfitting. At the outset,therefore, it was determined thatTechnology should make no mistakesof the kind. To this end, therefore,the heads of departments were askedto prepare figures of what each onewould wish if there were no otherdepartments to be considered. In thesame way the Walker Memorial com-mittee was asked to state the needsfor the student activities and with thelatter the committee on athletics wasrequested to co-operate. There wasthus secured a fundamental group otstatistics, the space requirements forstudy rooms, lecture halls, labora-tories and raughting rooms, togetherwith those for administration, careand storage and for the student hous-ing and activities, and little by littleduring the past two years the de-mands have been compared and ar-ranged, so that the space needs haveall been well determned.

Then there came the remarkableand generous offer of John R. Free-man of Providence, who volunteeredto give as his contribution to theschool from which he graduated afull summer in the consideration ofthe engineering problems. There hasnever been made any research intothe conditions, equipment and fitnessfor the purpose of educational buld-ings comparable to this. Mr. Free-man sent his agents into every re-cent building for special use in Ameri-can colleges, while President Mac-laurin and members of the Facultyused their summer vacations in Eu-rope in a similar investigation. Theresult has been a report in manytpyewritten voumes, profusely iilus-trated, which outlines every importanteducational building, including thosefor general or students' use that isto be found.

Mr. Freeman analyzed and reducedthe vast mass of material and in hisfinal report, a masterpiece of engin-eering literature, he outlined whatthe best means of attacking the dif-ferent problems would be, and de-fined his own idea of what form thegreat school should take. He dis-cussed the lighting, heating and ven-tilaton, drainage, materials of con-struction and indeed every essential,and outlined the best form arrange-ment in his opinion for the buildings.The single structure was suggestedby him, although its form as now tobe adopted is not the same. Thepresent one seems more elastic Thefacts gathered have been of greatestvalue, and Technology owes a deep

ty has been practically unimproved.Technology will show what can -bedone.

At the best place on the CambridgeEsplanade Tech has secured its landand, as the leading school for archi-tects in the country, it will erectmonumental structures that will en-hance its fair name. And for an archi-tect it has selected from among itsown best product, William WellesBosworth, '89, established these fifteenyears in the city of New York.

Forum Like Court Approach toLibrary

No other than a dignified approachcan he possible to the great centralcourt which opens on the river. Thisrises in broad terraces of steps, sug-gestive of the splendid stairways ofancient temples. Here the gradualuplift of the court leads the eye to thegreat colonaded portico of the mod-ern temple of learning, the Library.

Above, the eye is caught by themasses of the buildings, which, risingstep on step as they recede, convergetheir lines to a focus in the impres-sive Roman dome that surmounts thelibrary.

Educational Portion a ConnectedGroup.

The educational portion of the NewTechnology may be described as aconnected group of buildings, threeand four stories in height, clusteredabout the library. There are to beno skyscrapers, as some individualshave feared. The library is the cen-tral feature in the constructions, asthe book must be in education. Andthere is to be here the truest ideal ofarchitecture, since the buildings ex-press their purpose in every feature.The great dome rests on a vast struc-ture whose pillared portico is ever aninvitation to enter. It looks down onthe court from a height of nearlytwo hundred feet and is the dominantnote in the composition. The central-court, open to the river front, ex-pands into two large, though minor,courts when near the Esplanade.These openings, with other courts in-terior to the buildings and not public,ensure the necessary lighting of therooms. The public courts afford a mostflexible means for delevopment ofthe esthetic. Grass plots will be hereand there with splashing fountains.Trees will accentuate the corners, thegreenery of shrubs will relieve theclassic architecture and convenientseats will invite the visitor to tarrya while in pleasant places. From thepurely decorative point of view the

opportunities are great, while themain quadrangle of nearly three hun-dred feet square affords the environ-ment and place for some massive cen-tral figure or heroic sculptured group.

The New Technology will not be atouring mass to awe one with itssheer bulk, but will be a vast con-nected assemblage of harmoniousstructures, conceived and developedwith artisitic spirit and unity, and of

that scholastic order which will relatethe structures to their purpose.Classic Architecture with Pilaster

Tre'atment.Mr. Bosworth has selected a pilas-

ter treatment of architecture as beingthe most consistent. Here light andair are the essentials, and this con-ttruction permits the recesses to bealmost entirely of glass. At the cor-ners, to accent the masses, are pa-vilions which will satisfy the eye asto the stability of the structures. Thewhole is to be of classic order.. In the buildings nearest the river,which here present long facades, thepilasters will be two stories in height,with the third story really constitut-ing the frieze. In the structuresfarther back there is a fourth story,which, being above the entablature, is,in irchitectural phrasing, as in pop-ular, termed attic.

It is this succession of buildings,increasing in height from front torear, that is a distinctive feature ofthe New Technology and furnishesgrades and lines that converge to-wards the massive octagon, fromwhich rises the drum and its cul-minating dome. The dome is Romanin feeling and, with its ever open eyeof perhaps thirty feet across, will as-

sure the day illumination of the read-ing room beneath. The general ar-chitecture will be simple yet exceed-ingly dignified and refined, and willcarry by these qualities and its mag-nitude and perfect proportions ratherthan by its ornament.

Courts Will Light the Study Rooms.The courts will be flanked by the

department buildings, and the latterare to be linked together so as to af-ford circulation throughout all por-tions of the vast structure. It will beunnecessary for the student to go outof doors in passing from one exerciseto another, and he may thus avoid, ifhe wishes, the shock of going sud-denly from a warmed room into thechill of wintry weather. The botherof coat or raincoat will be removed.

The comparatively narrow build-ings will receive light from both sidesand, in addition, it is planned to placeall the draughting rooms on the topfloor. Here, hidden by the parapets,there will be the standard saw-toothskylights and, as fortune will have it,the north is so placed that the sky-lights will run across the narrow di-mension of the longer stretches ofbuildings.Very Flexible Disposition of Depart-

ments.For the fundamental principle of

interior construction there has beenadopted a system of bays of uniformsize, which may in a way be com-pared to the sectional bookcase inthe home library. The floors will behung on tlie walls entirely free of thepartitions. Rooms can then be madein any multiple of the unit merelyby removing partitions, and sincethese support no floors, desiredchanges will be easy and inexpensive.Each department may in this wayhave its rooms precisely suited to itsneeds, instead of modifying its needsto suit the limitations of its rooms.

Sectional Bookcase ArchitecturalPlanning.

Besides expanding into adjacentroom space the plannings permitgrowth in much the same way as thesections of the library. There is inthe layout as planned today thechance of expanding the departmentsinto future buildings, and the imme-diate constructions will afford the op-portunity of erecting extensions orwings so that any department mayexpand into a building suited to itsneeds. And like the stacks of a book-case, this may be added usually ineither one of two directions, andwith some departments three direc-tions of expansion are available.

personality gained the confidence ofthe alumni and bound them as neverbefore into a great force working forthe benefit of their Alma Mater. Oneof the first fruits of this was the giftby T. Coleman du Pont of half a mil-lion towards the purchase of a newsite, and that at Cambridge was cho-sen. Here there came an almostunnoticed bit of patriotism for the In-stitute, for when the payment wasreally made for the land, the Corpo-ration without any fuss or advertise-ment made up the necessary quartermillion and paid down the cash. Fol-lowing up the idea that it was properto ask the Commonwealth of Massa-chusetts to continue its aid td theschool, President Maclaurin and thealumni took up this matter, an.l thesigning of the bill by Governo? Fossfollowing the du Pont gift came asan insurance of the future. Whenthe site question was settled thealumni began their quest of the mil-lion which they already have half as-sured, and in the midst of the plan-ning the enthusiasm was heightenedenormously by the great gift of thetwo and one-half millions of Mr.Smith. Other gifts have followed insufficient measure to warrant the be-sinning of construction. As- Dr.Maclaurin himself has said, the wholenlait is beyond the present means ofTechnology, and gifts of the futuremust come to realize the full fruitionof the great Institute. What is donenow will be done in the best mannerand will include the essentials, whilethe splendid student quarters, whichare to be disposed about the WalkerMemorial. remain for the future.

It must not for a moment be im-agined that while the financial andConstruction portions of the Technol-ogy story have been so much in thepublic eye that there has been anyneglect of the educational features.New courses, new laboratories, andeven the full half interest in a newand unique school, testify that theInstitute keeps abreast of the timesand is prepared to furnish the kindof training that the rapid advances oftechnical engineering from time totime demand.

In all these varied functions Dr.Maclaurin has showed himself to bemaster of the situation, and by his,skill, knowledge and his personalityis smoothing away the difficultiesthat have attended the maintenanceof Technology on the broad founda-tions laid for it by its projector andfirst president, William Barton Rog-ers.

EFFICIENCY THE KEYNOTEOF GENERAL PLANS

(Continued from Page 1)debt of gratitude to this great RhodeIsland engineer.

Another alumnus, Professor Wil-liam O. Crosby, devoted his atten-tion and experience to the suitabilityof the soil for foundations. It iswell known that the land which hasbeen gained from the old Back Bayby filling is less stable than that ofthe formerly solid portions of Bostonand Cambridge. There has been inmany parts of the region a well de-fined settling, although fortunatelymost of the buidings have gone downtheir two or three inches without in-jury to themselves. Change in levelin the Institute buildings is to beavoided, and accordingly the natureof the subsoils was to be determined.In addition to the borings which werenumerous, tests were made by meansof heavy loads to determine the co-efficient of sinking under weight.

Next there was the selection of anarchitect, and about six months agoWilliam Welles Bosworth, '89, now ofNew York, was chosen, the third ofthe Tech alumni here to undertakeimportant work. Those who are con-versant with the enormous detail ofarchitectural work like this, the plan-ning of fifteen acres of buildings tobe built at once will realize how con-stantly Mr. Bosworth has been de-voted to this special work. He hasgiven attention strictly to the abso-lute needs of the planning, and forthat reason the "pictures" that archi-tects present oftentimes for the firstfeature of their work have here beenneglected till today, although con-structions are already under way atthe site. Mr. Bosworth has had theconstant aid and advice of ProfessorJames Knox Taylor, head of theTechnology Architectural Depart-ment. In his career as supervisingarchitect to the United States Treas-ury, an office which he resigned tocome to Tech. Mr. Taylor has had in-timate acquaintance with large work;and the Institute constituted himconsulting architect for the newbuildings.

The alumni of Technology areagain in evidence in the actual workof construction. Much was requiredin the way of general grading, andfor a year this has been under wayunder the care of John T. Scully, '00,the head of a Cambridge corporation.The structures will be built by theStone & Webster Engineering Cor-poration, the concern having five ofits principal men, including both ofthose who give the name to the firm,Technology graduates.

The coming needs of any de-partment, unknown as they may betoday, can be met with6ut disarrang-ing any of the departments that havebeen established. This provision forthe future will assure to the depart-ments about twice as much space as

they receive when Technology makesits move two years hence.

Layout of the Departments.(With reference to the distribution

of the departments a glance at thebird's eye view or at the plan will beinstructive.)

The, great court opens upon theCharles River Esplanade, a boule-vard established by the Metropolitan

Park Commission. Here the front-age of the Technology lot is fifteenhundred feet, while the length alongMassachusetts Avenue is about thesame. Half of the estate is to be de-voted to the educational plant andthe other half, to the east willbe for the students and social fa-cilities which the Institute has lackedand for which the foundations havejust been laid. It is the intention todevelop a dormitory system surround-ing the Walker Memorial, gymna-sium, Commons and other student

features. Being on the east side ofthe grounds, the transportation needswill be supplied by the KendallSquare Subway station, only a blockor two distant.

In the educational group, Architec-ture will occupy the right angle atthe corner of Massachusetts Avenueand the Esplanade. On the thirdside of the court which Architectureborders will be Civil Engineering,

running parallel with the Esplanade.

Pratt School of Naval Architecture.Continuing along Massachusetts

Avenue will be the Pratt School ofNaval Architecture and Marine En-gineering, for the maintenance ofwhich Technology is to receivethree-quarters of a million.

Auditorium and Engineeringpartments.

De-

U\ithin the interior court, behindthe Pratt School, may be seen thegreat Auditorium. This will replaceHuntington Hall for the larger gath-erings of the Institute and students.It will be double the capacity andwill seat a couple of thousand.

Parallel with the Pratt School, butbordering the great central court, willbe Hydraulic Engineering, and be-yond this Mechanical Engineering,with abundant opportunities for tak-ing in greater space. This expansionwill be towards the back of thegrounds and towards the railway.Near this will be placed the laborato-ries that involve the handling of veryheavy weights. Near the railway willbe placed the power plant. This atTechnology figures up to about fourthousand horsepower. Such a plantis ceaseless in its demands for fuel,and added cost is necessary if thismust be brought in wagons.

Next Lieber gained about nineyards on Williams'and Reed made 10more yards on Bernard, giving 1916a lead of about 20 yards. Finally,Loomis gained two more yards. Thusthe Sophomore team finished overthirty yards ahead of the Freshmen.

SOPHOMORE NOMINATIONS

Nominations for 1916 Class officersopen today. The officers to be electedare: President, Vice-President, Treas-urer, Secretary, two members of In-stitute Committee, two members ofthe Executive Committee, and twomembers of the Athletic Association.

All nomination papers must besigned by at least ten members of theclass.

The nominations close Saturday,November 15, at 4 o'clock.

Af-ter a little interval a squad of twoHoly Cioss and two Tech men en-tered the Field. Guething, who wasmerely running a time trial and notscoring for Tech, was in the lead withtwo Holy Cross men behind, but atthe the lower turn Higgins of H. C.sprinted and beat out Guething by afew yards. O'Brien tried to followhis team mate, but was unable to passGuething. Wilkins finished close be-hind, and this closed the scoring forTech. Best, Brown and Donnelly ofTech came in before the rest of theHoly Cross team scored in the fol-lowing order: Roesch, Lachapelle,Crowley and Brannigan.

The team scores were:-Tech-i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8; 23.Holy Cross-6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15; 67.

Graff was forced to drop out be-cause of a bad foot.

Tech's team distinguished itself bytwo things in particular: First, thecloseness of the scoring men; andsecond, by the all-round good times.

Next Saturday the men go to Han-over, to compete in the N. E. I. C.A. A. run. The teams prospects arebright and both Dartmouth andBrown being weakened by the loss oftheir stars the chances for first placeare good.

The order of finish was as follows:Cook, Tech; Benson, Tech; Nye,

Tech; Newlin, Tech; Lee, Tech; Hig-gins, H. C.; O'Brien, H. C.; Wilkins,Tech; Best, Tech; Brown, Tech;Donnelly, Tech; Roesch, H. C.; La-chapelle, H. C.; Brannigan, H. C.;and Daly, H. C.

Miller '16 And Gould '17 Star-ManyFumbles Mar The

Contest.

The two football teams struggledfour full periods of clean hard play-ing to a 6-6 tie. Both teams appearedslightly nervous at first and fum-bles were frequent. Later theseoccurred less often and the ball washandled more cleanly. The Sopho-mores tore the 1917 line to pieces atthe start of the game and Miller tookthe ball over at the extreme edge ofthe field. This made a punt-out nez-essary, and Miller caught the ball, butallowed it to touch the ground. Noattempt at a goal was permitted.

The Freshmen then found them..selves and began to take the offensiveThey rushed the ends and tried several forward passes successfull).Gould and Winton made long runsand the latter finally plunged tenyards to the Sophomore two-yardline. Farnsworth then carried theball over. After the relay race hadbeen decided the 1917 men playeddesperately, realizing that they musttake the game to win the day. Buttheir forward passing was inaccurateand they were unable to put the ballacross. Miller, Dewson, Krigger andKaula played exceptionally well forthe Sophomores, while Gould played

TUG-OF-WAR GOESTO THE FRESHMEN

Took Only Two Pulls To DecideThe First Event On

Field Day.

At 2.30 sharp the two Tug-of-Warteams ran out onll the Field amid thecheers of their classmates. The Soph-omores and Freshmen both woregray jerseys, while the 1916 men hadthe north end of the Field and 1917the south. Both teams waited ex-pectantly for the shot that was toopen the 13th annual Field Day.

At 2.24 the shot was fired and bothteams settled back with a vim thatwell stretched the rope. Quickly itwas seen that the Sophomores hadthe drop on the less experienced men.It took but very short time, however,for the rope to quiet down and itgradually stood still with the 1916men about a yard in the lead. Forthe first few moments the utmost ef-forts of each side were of no avail.Soon, however, the 1917 men beganto gain and slowly, steadily and sure-ly the Sophomores were pulled to thepost. At 2.26-10 the second shot wasfired and victory belonged to theFreshmen.

Immediately after the Relay racethe two teams appeared again, 1916determined, 1917 confident. This timethe order of the two teams was re-versed, the Sophs taking the south

PRATT SCHOOL OFNAVAL ARCHITECTURE

The place of honor on the Massa-chusetts Avenue front of the NewTechnology has been assigned to thePratt School of Naval Architectureand Marine Engineering, recently en-dowed by the late C. H. Pratt ofBoston. Mr. Pratt is one of the menwho without personal acquaintancewith the officers of the Institute leftmost of his estate to a departmentfor which the Institute is celebratedthe world over, but which is costly tomaintain. Professor Cecil H. Pea-body is the head of the departmentof Naval Architecture, and how cele-brated the school is may be seenfrom the statement of a German stu-dent in the course, that he came tothe Institute because there is noschool comparable to it in his owncountry. There is also a son of aprominent Clyde shipbuilding man inCourse XIII.

MI. Pratt's will was the subjectof a lively legal controversy in thecourts, in which Technology was thewinner. Only three conditions weremade in the will, and these were:That the capital possessed by the do-nator should at his death remain inthe hands of trustees until its amountreaches $750,000, and that on receiptof the money "the said MassachusettsInstitute of Technology shall forth-with erect upon its lands a substantialbuilding of a kind and appearanceand according to plans and specifica-tions to be first approved by saidtrustees, and for that purpose is touse such portion of said fund as mayble neccessary." The remainder otthe fund is to be kept for the supportand maintenance of the school. Thethird condition is that the buildingshall have suitably inscribed on itsouter walls the name, Pratt Schoolof Naval Architecture and Marine En-gineering, and that a bronze tabletbearing the inscription: "Presentedby Charles Herbert Pratt to thememory of Eleanor Franklin Pratt,Catherine Blake Pratt and FranklinStetson Pratt," shall be properlyplaced in its interior. The fund is.now in the neighborhood of $700,000,so that in about two years the condi-tion of amount will be met.

The whole territoryhere is conveniently near the Subway,which in its course from Park Squareto Harvard Square comnes very closeto the corner of the estate at theKendall Square station.

Origin of the Walker Memorial

When General Francis A. Walkerwas president of Technology his at-tention was brought to the lack ofsocial facilities, but the bread andbutter needs of the Institute werethen the absorbing thought. Afterhis death the idea grew till it tookthe formn that there should be a socialcenter for the students, and that itThould bear General Walker's name.Funds to the amount of dne hundredthousand dollars were subscribed, butsince it was then evident that the In-stitute could not much longer remainon Boylston Street, it was deemedprudent not to erect immediately anypermament building. Meanwhile, con-structions for laboratories afforded-pace for the present Union and din-ing room; so the Walker Memorialfund has quietly grown till now ittouches two hundred thousand, andthe structure that this will erect is tobe the nucleus about which the stu-dent life at the New Tech will segre-gate.

The plans of the Walker MemorialCommittee call for a dignified build-ing that will be in complete harmonywith the educational group. It is toface the Charles in the center of thespace allotted to student interests andvery near, connected by a coveredgallery, will be the Commons, whereit is proposed to provide on muchlarger scale than at present for themeals of students and professors. '

Memorial to Be Club House-for Stu-

dents.

The purpose of the Walker Memo-rial itself may perhaps be best ex-pressed as the club house for all the,students. Here every one will feel athome, with an opportunity to enter-tain guests if desired. The commit-tee has recommended a vast livingroom of four thousand feet area,which will open upon a terrace, with

all its appointments, including correc-tional rooms for those students whocannot take the regular work. Alarge gymnasium space is required,and it is hoped to have the great floorwith an area of fifteen thousand feet.The track, it is expected, will be thir-teen laps to the mile.

Outdoor athletics will be cared forby a great field in the rear of thegrounds, with a track of four laps, a220 straight-away, provisions for theother sports and .a fine grandstand.The entrance to this field will be veryconveniently placed with reference toKendall Square and will not subject

The fundamental plannings of thisgreat student unit are due in the firstplace to the work of John R. Free-man, who assembled the informationconcerning the student housings inall the latest of the educational con-st;uctions. These figures were thenplaced in the hands of the special

The work will notbegin at once, however, for at themoment the educational group hasthe right of way. It is sufficient of anundertaking to erect the fifteen acresDf construction that will here be need-ed to house the enormous educationalactivities of Technology, so that thestudent buildings may wait a year ortwo till some of the more urgent ofthe others are out of the way.

There will be two and one-halfacres of roof-lighted draughtingrooms at the New Technoogy-by-the-Charles, and the floor space will ap-proximate from twenty acres for theeducational buildings that are nowunder construction. These will makea Great White City of connectedbuildings lighted and ventilated bynine courts. The student who entersat one of the wings and traverse allthe buildings once will have walkeda mile and the floors spaced end toend would make a way forty to sixtyfeet wide from the State House toHarvard Square.

If the buildings were set up onWashington Street (Boston) the greatwhite river'front would run from theOld State House to the Old SouthChurch (800 feet), including both and

There will be one great court (360feet square) in the very center of theeducational group, with an extensionto the Esplanade out of which deploytwo minor courts (160 feet squareeach). This affords from the stepsof the library a view between theflanking buildings of about sevenhundred feet to the Esplanade, whichis itself two hundred feet wide.

Wid

T

le

The architect of the New Technol-ogy is William Welles Bosworth ofNew York, who began his architect-ural training in the Institute; whichhe joined in 1886, being affiliated withthe class-of 1889. After leaving Tech-nology he entered the office of H. H.Richardson, where he remained for a

WILLIAM WELLES BOSWORTHArchitect

year and a half. He left this office tobecome associated with Mr. Olmstedin landscape work for Leland Stan-ford University in California. Later,for two years, he was on the staff ofthe "American Architect," and duringthis period made extensive studies ofEuropean architecture, especially inRome. Going into business for him-self, he designed various buildingsfor the Hampton Normal and Agri-cultural Institute in Virginia.

In 1896 Mr. Bosworth decided todevote several years to the broaden-ing of his architectural training bystudying in the best schools of Eu-rope. He went first to London, wherehe worked for a while under the stim-ulus of Alma Tadema, and who en-couraged him to devote months ofwork in the British Museum on thestudy of Greek subjects. He then de-cided to go to the Beaux Arts inParis, where he entered the prepara-tory atelier of Godefroy Freynet.Here he soon earned a great localreputation. After completing his work.in the preparatory atelier, he joinedthe atelier of Gaston Redon, the ar-chitect for the Louvre. Later hespent a considerable time workingunder Chaussemiche, who is now thearchitect of Versailles and the Tria-non. He then went to Holland, andfor a considerable period to Rome.

On his return to America, Mr. Bos-worth entered the office of Carerreand Hastings, for whom he workedon the block plans of the Pan-Ameri-can Exposition. Later he went to theExposition as Resident Architect, andwas responsible for the design andconstruction of a considerable num-ber of subsidiary buildings. He alsodesigned several of the buildings ofthe St. Louis Exposition. After re-maining with Carerre and Hastingsfor three years, he spent some timestudying architecture in Spain, andon his return to New York openedan office for himself.

He worked for several years de-signing the gardens for Mr. John D.

SPECIAL COMMITTEEON WALKER MEMORIAL

Prof. Tyler and Colleagues HaveInvostigated Problems of

Student Life.

The present Walker Memorial Spe-cial Committee was appointed byPresident Maclaurin in March, 1912,at the instance of the Walker Mem-orial Committee of the Alumni Asso-ciation, to work out a more definiteplan for the building, and also toconsider and report on matters affect-ing the physical and social welfareof the students.

This committee, consisting of A. F.Bemis, '93, Dean Burton, Prof. A. A.Noyes, Dr. J. A. Rockwell, with Prof.H. W. Tyler as. chairman, have heldmany meetings, several of which havetaken the form of conferences on spe-cial topics with members of the fac-ulty and with groups of undergrad-uates.

Rockefeller at Pocantico Hills, andall who have seen these gardens rec-ognize their exceptional beauty. Forthe last six years a great deal of histime has been devoted to doing ar-chitectural work of various kinds forMr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., forwhom he is just completing a privateresidence in New York. This resi-dence is remarkable for its classicsimplicity and dignity, and in all hislater work Mr. Bosworth is remarka-ble for his power of getting fine ef-fects by the simplest means. Heevidently dislikes complication andornateness, and never uses ornamen-tation except with some definite pur-pose in mind, and then sparingly.

The most important work uponwhich Mr. Bosworth is now engagedis the headquarters of the WesternUnion Telegraph Company. This isa thirty-story building at the cornerof Broadway and Dey Street, is beingconstructed of white granite and is tocost between five and six million dol-lars. Those who have seen the planand model of this building havd beenimpressed by its grand simplicity, andthe officials of the Western UnionCompany confidently expect that itwill be recognized as the best buildingof its kind in New York. All whohave employed Mr. Bosworth exten-sively in recent years speak in termsof unqualified praise of his original-ity, his good taste, his classic senseof simplicity and his efficiency indealing with practical problems.
