ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL PLANS NEW CURRICULUM

Careful revision of courses on Design and Construction and the addition of four new courses next year have been brought about by a reorganization of the curriculum of the School of Architecture. The changes were made to keep abreast of progress in architecture, and to increase graduates' opportunities for professional employment by offering a broder and more advanced course for future architects.

The new courses are Composition, in the field of architecture, to be given by J. J. Haffner, professor of Architecture; Functions in Building, dealing with practical requirements, by W. F. Bogner, assistant professor of Architecture; City Planning, by lecturers in the School of City Planning; and Professional Practice, a course covering the administrative duties of the architect, drafting room methods, and mechanical knowledge of construction, to be given by specialists in active practice and members of the Faculty.

The course in Design has been revised to amalgamate the aesthetic design, the construction and the function of building for the treatment of special problems. In the field Harvard has twice won the French government medal.

Inspection trips to construction jobs will be increased in number by the revision of the course of Construction, given by C. W. Killam, professor of Architecture.
