siiwfof .fgrcdifecfwre The coming of peace has brought a definite demand for competent architects and draftsmen. The School of Architecture offers a curriculum affording a well-rounded training in the professional requirements of an architect. The training includes four years of college work leading to a Bachelor's degree, followed by three years paid apprenticeship in an archi- tect's office. Courses offer an opportunity for a variety of talents, such as the design- ing of homes or their furnishings, the planning of public commercial or religious buildings, construction, in- dustrial design, or even the layout of cities. Ability in mathematics and shop work, and an interest in drawing, mechanical or freehand, are neces- sary requirements for would-be architects. ln the near future, better houses neighborhoods and cities will be de- manded by more and more people. Plans are necessary to realize these demands. The creation, through or- derly planning, of better shelters for all human activities relating the home to the surrounding homes, to the place of business, and to the plans of the city, is the special province of the architect. His entire training is di- rected toward the development of this ability. 7 The angle of the roof prevents the sun from . . .' Givens Hall framed by trees The feminine touch 26
