and fields for various sports, will be near
the lake, thereby providing for aquatic
sports, which are so popular at Chautau-
qua during the summer. The educational
buildings will be grouped about a cam
pus in another quarter. Three additional
buildings will be erected shortly, and per-
haps one Of the three now standing will
be replaced by a new and more suitable
structure. A slightly hotel, with a capa-
city Of one thousand guests, is planned
for the site of the present hotel, which
is not nearly large enough. The resi-
dences will be scattered over the entire
property. The spacing of cottages will
be strictly enforced and the congestion
now existing at several points will be
alleviated.
At the extreme end Of Assembly Point
will be the Angelus Tower, with the IA
nous Chimes Of the Poets" In the new
tower. Connected with 1t SO as to form
a focal point, either as seen from the lake
or as a terminus Of one Of the principal
vistas, will be a new pier house. It will
be an imposing structure, Of a character
BETTING the official entrance to the
grounds. There will be a comfortable
waiting room, various offices, lunch
room, and above an open promenade com
manding a fine view of the lake.
OF late years Chautauqua has been pay
ing more and more attention to the arts
and crafts Last winter the schools Of
this department were kept open and many
students from different parts of the coun-
try spent the winter at work there. 1t is
proposed to depart from the classic archi-
lecture for the Arts and Crafts village,
to make it in fact a medieval village.
The buildings will surround a court, and
will be connected by cloisters. Each of
the various departments will have a sepa-
! rate building, and adjoining the square
will be the residence of the master in
charge of the department. The village
will cover three and a half acres, and ac-
commodate from $50 to 500 students.
]. Massey Rhind, who is to have charge
| of the sculpture, has studied the situa-
ton and made numerous suggestions.
He says:
| Beginning at the boat landing, would
propose that the four dials of the clock
on the Campanile tower be of gilded
metal after the accepted form of the
Chautauqua seal The seal should be OF
4 a form distinctly simple and easily read
] from a distance. Advancing on the ave-

] groups Of sculpture on each side at the
| base of the grand stairway, allegorically
characteristic of the work in the institu-
/ ton, might be suggested, such as Chris
/ tianity Supported by Science and Litera-
ture. while the other might represent
Summer Rest, Home Study and Ath-
letics.' This would appeal to the intelli-
gent stranger as giving him the keynote
or synopsis Of Chautauaua.
sAs one ascends the stairway interest
ing and appropriate quotations, carved

the eye as one climbs toward the Grand
plaza; such quotations would make the
stairway decorative as well as interest

a replica of the ssHal inlaid in brass
