CORNELL WON TOPIARIAN TROPHY

First place in the Annual Competition for the Topiarian Club Trophy, open to students in the School of Landscape Architecture, has been awarded to Ralph Dalton Cornell 2S.L.A., of Long Beach, California. Second and third places have been awarded to William Richard Sears 1S.L.A., of Woburn, and Junathan Philips Balney 1S.L.A., of Swampscott, respectively. Mentions were awarded to Samuel Danforth Zehrung 1S.L.A., of Roseville, Ohio, and Frederick Stillman Kings bury 2S.L.A., of Needham.

The fourteen drawings submitted were judges yesterday afternoon by a jury consisting of Professor J. S. Pray '95, Professor H. V. Hubbard '97, and Mr. Ferrucio Vitale, of New York. The subject of the competition was the development of a given piece of property on Massachusetts, as a country estate with a system of formal gardens on a sloping site. It was suggested that the style of the gardens on a designer draw inspiration from the style of the gardens of the Italian Renaissance.

The Trophy was given to the Topiarian Club in 1912 by an unknown donor and is competed for annually. The winner has his name inscribed on the Trophy of which he has custody until the next competition. An exhibition of the competition drawings will be announced later.
