, school of architecture Dean Buford L. Pickens The chances are that every student whose pic- ture and name is in this issue of HATCHET will some day need the professional services of an architect. lt is even possible that your future architect may now be one of your class- mates here at Washington University. Many of you will have houses designed by architects. Others will serve on building committees tor new schools, churches, and hospitals. Some ot you will call in an architect to plan your stores, office buildings, or subdivisions. An architect is as important to good building as a doctor is to maintenance of good health. While you are on the campus we invite you to get better acquainted with the architect's work and learn how he can help you solve your archi- tectural problems later on. The principal archi-

tectural activities are carried on in Givens Hall where we maintain a continuing exhibition of student work and other material to help you understand the function of an architect in con- temporary society. Also, our library has up-to- date literature for the professional as well as for the lay student and the general public. lt is the most complete architectural library in the metropolitan area and you are invited to use it. One ofthe principal assets of Washington Uni- versity's School of Architecture is the fact that it is located in a large urban center. Unlike the restricted facilities to be found in a small unia- versity town, St. Louis offers many opportuni- ties for first hand observation of the varied building activities going forward in the metro- politan area. We are able to call upon many talented architects, engineers, contractors, and city planners to supplement the full-time fac- ulty and assist in the students' training in various ways. ln the selection of building projects for stu- dent problems, the School seeks to emphasize the relation of the University to the Community using the rich and varied opportunities of the St. Louis area. Thus, the students are able to analyze and attempt to solve actual rather than hypothetical problems in building design, construction, and in community planning. May we invite you who will be the important citi- zens of tomorrow to become better acquainted with the future architects while you are here on the campus.
