.xgrckifecfure The beginning of what is now the School of Architecture was some sixty years ago. Courses that were creditable toward the de- gree of Architect were available to juniors and seniors aspiring to be architects rather than civil engineers. Only four students en- rolled in this specialized course of study, and only one persevered long enough to acquire the first degree in l88l. Today the Washington University School of Architecture offers a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Architerfure degree. The training is professional and of a high caliber. There are varying fields of interest for the would-be architect, including design- ing homes or their furnishings, industrial de- sign, the planning of public, commercial or religious buildings, construction design, and even city layout. The student entering the field should have an aptitude for mathe- matics and shop work and an interest in drawing, mechanical or freehand. ln spite of all their protestations to the contrary, architectural students do not work L -4-, 1 L11 all the time. To see the results of their gayer moments, one need only glimpse some poor freshman staggering to class adorned with a T-sguare or attempting to climb three flights of stairs at the upper-class-imposed rate of one step back for every two up. St. Fatima's day, in honor of the patron of all architects, is one full of festivities and eagerly awaited by all students. Members of the student body are attired in costume and parade through the halls and around the grounds. The School of Architecture boasts extra- curricular activities also, the primary organ- ization being the Architectural Society. Open to all students of the school, it serves to keep alive interest and a feeling of fellowship among the dwellers of Givens I-lall. The in- itiation and hazing of new members is con- sidered one of the most hilarious affairs on campus - at least by those not experiencing ii. The two architectural honoraries are Alpha Alpha Gamma for women and Scarab for men.
