Lincoln Highway Art Standards
From the Outlook.

From the Outlook.
Congratulations are in order because
of an understanding worked out be-
tween officials of the Lincoln High
way association and the American In
stitute of Architects. 1T proves beyond
peradventure the growing interest in
esthetics felt by elements of the pOpu-
lation that generation g would not
have shown such defence to export
opinion. and on the other hand it in
dicates how willing competent advisers
on matters of art now are to dedicate
themselves formally to great civic en-
terp:ises in order that these projects
ma ymost worthily become educational
and inspirational factors in the nation.
The contest to make the memorial
to Lincoln i'm the national capital n
not controlled by Philistincs was a long
and veXing controversy: but it was won
by art and her disinterestcd disciples
and opponents. The plan to build a
great transcontinental highway across
some of the many commemorative that
Lincoln helped keep together as n
nation has i'm it possibilities for fine
use of art or it's opposite. "A Uniform
ly intelligent architectural treatment of
all the bridges, markers, stations and
monuments which are to define the
course of the great Thoroughbred
as the Officials of the institute OF arch
fleets say prove n means for a nation
wide lesson in good taste of almost
Ilc5liIiidpI' Nuiue, ~ - w IioVloc eiiiS
uniformly intelligent architectural
treatment" n to assure artistic con-
troll of the enterprise that the directors
OF the highway association have in
vited the national organization OF ar
chitects to cooperate; and the OPP
portunity to so serve has been accepted
with enthusiasm. Without cost to the
Highway association preliminary de-
signs by the best architects OF the
