another road can be located west of Chemistry Hall and run northward, and another part of the same road can be located west of Orton Hall and run south- ward. These parts, while they may remain disconnected for a long time, in order to put off the time when the central lawn must be cut to pieces by roads and walks required for the constantly increasing traffic, must eventually be completed and will then serve to visibly connect in design the formal layout north of the central lawn, with that south of it. Style of Architecture The question of exterior materials for future buildings and of what archi- tectural style should be followed in designing them, is an interesting one, but space will not permit an adequate treatment of the subject. Harmony in appearance of the buildings of a group, is the most funda- mental requirement of art, and at the same time, the easiest and cheapest to secure. It is therefore astonishing that Ohio State University, in common with most of the others, persistently refuses to compel its architects to secure har- mony. No one architect would have dared to ignore harmony, if he had de- signed at one time, the eleven buildings surrounding and facing the central lawn. but the architect of each one of these buildings, apparently insisted upon design- ing it out of harmony with most of the other buildings of the group, in texture and color of exterior material and style of architecture. The existing buildings are such that the safest policy is to use a hard rough cherry red brick with stone trimmings for exteriors of additional buildings, and to design them in a simple unobtrusive classic style, avoiding great two- story porticoes and other brobdignagian features that would unduly accent dif- ferences in style between buildings. lint whatever the architectural style of the buildings, a free use of vines upon them will do much toward harmonizing them into one pleasing landscape.
