Description

Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Architectural Education<br/><br/>From these assumptions, it follows necessarily that the object of architectural education must be the breeding of gentlemen of cultivation, learning, and broad sympathies; who understand the dignity and the significance of art both as beauty and as language; who are perfectly proficient in the technique of the art they follow, and who can inspire, organize and direct widely different classes of men. Such was our view of the general situation and our unanimous conviction as to the essential nature of any sound system of architectural education. Examining the various agencies in America in this light, and that we might see how nearly they approached, severally and in mass, to the principles indicated above, we found them to consist in two forms; rst, the elementary, i. E., the architectural classes connected with public instruction and philanthropic societies, and the Correspondence Schools 2d, the Academic, 75. E., the regular schools of architecture; the voluntary combinations under the control of certain groups of architects, such as the independent ateliers, and the concours of the Beaux Arts Society, and the American Academy in Rome.
