Influence Eropean
By ROBERT MITCHELL
Americans should not condemn
themselves for not having developed
an architecture strictly of their own,
P'of. Ralph W. Hammett of the Col-
lege of Architecture stated yesterday,
because American architecture is the
natural result of the peculiar influ-
ences of American history and de-
velopment.
"No people," Professor Hammett
said, "can entirely set itself apart in
developing its arts without being in-
Iluenced by, other peoples. Modern
European architecture today is not a
process of individual national trends.
France has had nothing definitely
French since the French Gothic ar-
chitecture of the 13th century. As
for America, it has had its past so
definitely and closely tied with
Europe, that there is no reason why
it should have developed institutions
purely its own, uninfluenced from
outside."
Casses American Architect
The first of two architectural styles
that may be classed as American,
Professor Hammett stated, is the
early American, which includes
such houses as the House of Seven
Gables in Salem and the Paul Re-
vere house in Boston. But even
these houses were based on English
ones with an overhanging second
floor. They were built of half tim-
ber with the beams and cross-braces
that supported them forming a part
of the wall. In England, the large
square spaces between, were filled
with a material of plaster and brick
or straw. Early American homes
were built in the same manner, but
the severe climate cracked this plas-.
ter and formed chinks which let in
cold air in winter. To correct this,
wooden sidings were built over the
walls, and resulted in the first Ameri-
can architectural. style.
Colonial Style Not American
"This type of house construction
remainhed in use up to the Civil War,"
Professor Hammett continued, "and
is to be found in a few houses in
Ann" Arbor, but the style changed to
Georgian, or Colonial as it is usually
classified, after 1700. The so-called
Colonial style is not American, as
often believed, but a direct copy of
styles in Georgian England. After
the Civil War, with the developdent
of the Circular saw and improvement
in the lumber. business, the light
framnekhouse, with structure-work of
two-by-four studding replaced the
odetebr-structured styles. This
may be calld an American construe-
taion method, but as for style, there
was nothing new added, and it is hard
to tell the light frame houses from
some of the old ones."
As concerns public b~ildings, Pro-
fessor d Hammett said, America has
developed its most outstanding single
contribution to architecture modes,
the skyscraper.
Skyscraper American
"Because. of, land values and the
concentration of business," Professor
Hammett added, "the skyscraper was
developed in America. The sky-
scraper is at present the only thing
that can be truly called typically
American. It is the result of the Big
Business ideal in America, but its
functional values are slowly estab-
lishing it abroad."
The modern or functional style of
architecture, though it was first pro-
mulgated in Chicago in 1890 cannot
be called an American architecture,
Professor Hammett concluded. It has
had much greater use and increase in
Europe than in America, and it has
become known at present, because of
this fact, as the International style.
Again American architecture is part
of a world trend.
Four Turkish students will be in-
terviewed at 1:30 p.m. today in a
WJR broadcast emanating from the
University broadcasting studios, a
part of the regular Saturday after-
noon programs.NThey are Behidje
Sadik, Grad., Neriman M. Alam,
Grad. and Malhmut Gultan. Grad.
The program, second in the series
centered about the home life of for-
eign students, was arranged under
the direction of J. Raleigh Nelson,
Counselor to Foreign Students, and
will be conducted by Prof. Waldo Ab-
bot, director of the broadcasting serv-
ice.
Miss Sadik is studying for her doc-
torate in sociology and Alam and
Gultan are seeking their master's
degree in economis. All received
preliminary training at Roberts Col-
lege, which is an American insti-
tution in Instanbul, Turkey.
Rutliven Broke;
Utilizes Credit
For Rin Ticket
Most photographs showing some-
body selling tickets to a prominent
person are staged merely for publicity
purposes, and the prominent person
doesn't really but the ticket at all.
But with President Ruthven and
Marcia Connell, '39, it was different.
It is true that the president, who
purchased the ticket to the Michigan
Boxing Show from Michigan's "most
beautiful girl," was "fiat" when he
bought the ticket last Friday and
that the $1.10 was collected only yes-
terday, but he paid hard cash for it,
and what's more, he says he'll be
there in a ringside seat.
"Have I anything scheduled for
April 1?" President Ruthven asked
his secretary, Miss Ruth A. Rouse,
when approached by Miss Connell.
"No sir, you are free that evening,"
was the reply. And then came the
embarrassing moment when the Pres-
ident discovered he had no money
with him. Miss Rouse found she had
only 45 cents in her purse, so the
President said Miss Connell would
have to call back for the money.
Yesterday Walter Luszki, '37, di-
rector of the 10-bout boxing show
to be held April 1, in Yost Field
House for the benefit of the Univer-
sity. Fresh Air Camp, went around
and collected money. It was handed
to him by Miss Rouse. On the ma-
nila envelope were the words:"Nor
Dr. Ruthven's ticket to the boxing
show."
Miss Connell sold the President the
first ticket to the bouts. The sale
will be chalked up for Delta Gamma
sorority. Sororities and fraternities
are in a contest to win silver trophies
for the biggest] ticket disposal.
Green Deprecates
Sit-Downs And CI
A threat that recriminatory action
may be taken against John L. Lewis
Committee of Industrial Organiza-
tion Unions was made by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, in a special in-
terview with the Daily Illini, Univer-
sity of Illinois student publication.
Green said that the rebel unions
"need not expect" to remain in the
AF of L unless they stop breaking
federation rules, and scorned the
"sit-down" strike weapon which the
CIO has resorted to, stating his
union had never used such methods.
"When economic conditions are on
the upgrade, a spirit of unrest pre-
vails among industrial workers, and
they begin a fight for higher wages
and better working conditions," Green
said in explaining the recent epidemic
of labor trouble.
