As m artist of recognized success,
Mr., lmhoff's opinion OF the Pueblo
architecture Is worth listening to. He
said yesterday:
The Pueblo style for your Uni
VcfSlty buildings IS moi only the first
fuectssful application OF an extinct
building type to university purposes;
u Is practically tho only style hat Is
entirely appropriate to the environ
ment here. The mission type is at
trectivc, but Is ~ovcrworked In tho
southwest aud its adoption here would
rob the University OF its distinctive
ness.
To TT III with your remarkable
landscape effects here. long low lines
are imperative. High buildings OF
Gothic OF whatever architecture are
grossly Inappropriate and would in
cases here border on the ride
ulous and bizarre. | can say with
confidence that every aitist who has
this city and seen these build
j. enthusiastic In his piaisc OF
tSpc for this purpose. It's adop-
lion has given the university more
widespread and favorable advertising
han anything else could possibly
lone. Personally. while the
university Is presumably a splendid
educational institution, in the cast |
ia rot hear of the learning of the
but of It's unique and bcauti-
'ul architecture. You down here per-
