P'rofessor LofrehZbe- lievestatlihe xhibit 1has something of nteestfor ever'yonle in that it deal, withi a vital part Of modern urb),n life, th, sky-scraper, andf itsi 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. Exchange Iead Says Stalents Regularly MFake Outside Calls f 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.
