accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be

The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and Judgment but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed NAV
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as TO preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mitee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found NECESSARY; in
which event, the committee also reserve 10 them
selves the right TO divide or apporton according
