present treatment.
Corona Mundi, the International
Art Center invited Mr. Alfred ;C.
Bllossom, a promifnent American ar-
chit eet , to select this group of fine
renderings for public exhibition.
Among the (drawings at present in
Aluni Memorial hall is one by Mr.
Hugh ?'erris, whose drawings, "The
City V the Future," have attracted
considerable attention in current per-
ibdicals. Mr.F Ferris presents his work
in the formh(f a fantasy; it is char-
nterized by a powerful swep) of
imagination in the portrayal of .the
future city.
American poft, musicians, and art-
ists have long been the target of Eu-
ropean critics, whlo say that America
produces nothing original. These
critics are forced to admit that the
American architect is making a dis-
tinct contribution to the realm of art
in the treatment of mass and struc-
ture.
The skeleton-frame building is yet
a new ,thing. The tall 'building was
unheard of a hundred years ago. It
took daring to erect the first tall
building. Tile was te double risk
of life and 'money involved, for it
was thought' that a tall skeleton-
framned building-would not stand the
,ireat stress and strain of wind storms
and earthquakes; that the steel
frames would deteriorate through
rust or corrosion. It is said that a
pioneer of the tall building put .his
office on the top floor of a structure
he had, built to prove his confidenc
in his own work.
Ornament on a sky-scraper has to
be andled delicately. The pioneers
of the tall building had 'only the u-
ropean traditional' ornament to use.
t was too mouch to ask them to
create their .Awn onament; their dar-
ing'In construction was enough. Since
then there as been a definite ad-
vance in the handling of sky-scraper
adornment, from Louis sullivan to
lie present tendency toward geomet-
rical form as. shown in the wrk of
Claude rag4Yn,
bowu he g ,of Qreek or Roman
colmn,,around the" tops of tall
buildngs .ar41a ivig way to.-the ex-#
pression of &,asses, and the effects
of heght ; iPn dy -verticality in
ornament Amrica has created an
original fori i.f building; it is now
creating its ofi~ adornment. In a fev
years, no Q e will e able to say
with truth ~~ the American form
has Greek, 6 man or Gothic, feel-
ing in orpat.
These' ha' * are noticeable in the
drawings at Alumni Memorial Hall.
Some of th~e "buildings have been
built; others",il be built within five
or ten '.ears; stil others inAy never
be built. This is an excellent oppor-
tunity to see what is being don.i, and
what will be done with the cities of
the future.

Use of the long distance telephone
by students at Ann Arbor as a resort
in; case 'of emergency or unsual
news i a thing of the past, in the
opinion of Mr. J. J. elly, of the local
telephone cxcange. "The time has
come when students here use te long
distance service regularly a a means
of comiuni'ation between themselves
and friends or relatives," says Mr.
Yelly. His records show that a steady
,ncrease in use of these facilities by
raudents has been noticeable in the
ast few years. Many students place
alls for home stations at stated in-
" :,vals, allowing such' conversations
to take the place of correspondence.
m xtensive use, of 'toll servis,, is
:ade in Anni Arbor (uring the foot-
all season, when more than 3,000
cals per dlay are frequently handled.
