In the Graduate Schools

The Graduate School of Landscape Architecture has 58 students this year, the largest enrolment in its history, according to a recent statement by Professor J. S. Pray '94, chairman of the council of the school, who also declared that the institution has overflowed, together with the School of Architecture, into the Old Fogg Museum, and has required the addition of two new members to the staff of instructors.

The increase in registration, amounting to 56 per cent over last year's enrolment of 37, is greater in proportion than that of any other department of the University, it was shown by the figures, the nearest conmpetitor being the Architectural School with a growth of 13 percent over last year.

"Morevover," stated Professor Pray, "the School of Landscape Architecture, to a greater degree than in most branches of the University, accepts and registers men all through the year, and hence its full increase cannot be reckoned at this time.

"In view of the fact that our school is the only genuine graduate institution of Landscape Architecture in the country, men come to it from all over the United States and even from abroad, and I find myself unable to fill all the positions offered to graduates, a condition unusual in the case of men just through professional school."

The two new annual instructors who have been added to the Landscape Architecture faculty are M. J. Williams, who teaches Typography and Construction, and H. K. Monhinick, who gives a course in City Planning.

"There is under consideration," added Professor Pray, "the giving of certain courses for the first time next summer on the estate of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Fall at Scituate, a valuable property which is some day to be bequeathed to the school. We are also proceeding with the survey of the school's land at Cedar Hill, Waltham, given some years ago by the will of Miss Cornelia Warren."

A two-day autumn field-trip has been planned, to take place about October 17, on which the men will visit several large estates in the Berkshires, mainly in Lenox and Stockbridge, to study, sketch, photograph and discuss the main features of their landscape architecture
