Professor Poland gave the third OF his
illustrated lectures on art last evening iu
Sayles hall. A aood-sised audience was
present In spite of the weather and other
attractions. The topic tor the lecture
was Architecture OF the Arch"

Is obliaueiy downward and outward, In
stead of merely being downward. OF this
type II has been said that AN arch
never sleeps" This style was adopted
generally In Assyria ana the east. In
Egypt and Greece the arch was known
and used. but not architectualiy. The
lctrusoaps transmitted IL to the Romans
who largely promoted its use. often in
combination with the Greek forms used
decorativeiy. The greatest possible solid.

Roman impetus. There 1re three iorms
Of the vault az practiced by the Romans:
ID the barrcll or wagon vaults: 81 ground
