proposal for instruction in architecture in any American university. An
unrivalled background is provided for it by the buildings and environment
of Charlottesville; the University group, with its old buildings specially
designed to furnish examples of the various orders "as specimens
for the architectural lecturer," its new buildings designed by Stanford
White; the works of sculpture by Houdon, Ezekiel, Bitter, Borglum, Keck,
Shrady, and Aitken; the exhibitions of paintings brought to the University
with part of the income of the McIntire fund.
The School of Fine Arts occupies the building at the south end of
West Range, which has been specially adapted to its use. It comprises a
lecture and exhibition hall 35 by 55 feet, an architectural draughting room,
a studio for freehand drawing and painting, with dark rooms and offices.
A special fund for equipment given by Mr. McIntire has made generous
provisions for casts, books, photographs and lantern slides. The casts
include geometrical models, motives of ornamentation, architectural elements,
elements of the figure, and a number of full figures from the antique,
as well as fine modern figures. Beside the books on architectural
history and on building construction kept at the University Library, an
exceptional departmental collection of works valuable for reference in
draughting room. Among the numerous important sets of folios are the
Grands Prix de Rome, Médailles des Concours d'architecture, Monuments
antiques, Fragments antiques, Edifices de Rome moderne, The Georgian
Period, Work of McKim, Mead, and White, etc., etc. These are supplemented
by some three thousand photographs, and by a collection of
five thousand lantern slides, as well as by a number of envoi drawings by
former holders of the Roman Prize and the Rotch Travelling Scholarship.

research. The students, as well as the professors, take an active part
in the presentation of these reports.
The Rouss Physical Laboratory is a commodious building, characterized
throughout by structural stability. The rooms are abundantly lighted,
while some may be darkened for optical experiments. There is a general
distribution of water and all the rooms are supplied with gas and electricity.
The equipment includes an exceptionally complete collection of demonstration
apparatus, and a good stock of apparatus for elementary laboratory
instruction. In addition to this, there is a special line of electrical and
optical instruments, a 21½-foot concave grating with Rowland mounting,
photographic dark room, liquid air plant and storage battery, and an instrument
shop for the repair and construction of physical instruments.
For advanced work in some lines, the facilities offered are excellent.
