Dr. Baldwin examines a design project. The exhibit is representative of the work of the outstanding students of the School. From barracks and the Boark system to a modern school of architecture that has attained the rating as the best on the coast, is the jump made by our School of Architecture in thirty years. Way back in 1920, the first twelve architecture students built a temporary barracks, now part of our present cinema workshop, as their school. Today, there are 450 students who have retained much of that pioneering spunk and still hold those typical all-night study sessions called ' charett es. The only difference in the madness is the now very spacious building. Their progressive dean, Arthur B. Gallion, believes in the professional, practical type training, rather than the purely academic Boark method. He has his own private practice, as do most of the faculty. As Commis- sioner of the Housing Authority of Los Angeles, he likes to see his students work on current civic problems. Clayton M. Baldwin, a professor here since 1921, always makes it a policy to know everyone so well that they inevitably dub him Baldy (he has more hair than most of his students). Mr. Baldwin teaches History of Architecture, but does not believe in aping the ancients. Another favorite of the students is William A. Kirkpatrick, who started two all-university courses in home decorating. 25
