CALISCH LECTURES ON
HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE
speaks ut Art Club Of RIchmond on
Combination Of Engineering with
Aesthetic Sense.

Tho history Of architecture was re-
viewed from the dual standpoint Of the
constructive engineer and the artist
by Harold Calisch in lecture delir
cred before the Art club of Richfnond
yesterday afternoon. Architecture was
described 10y MIR. Calisch as the result
OF the combination of good engineering
with the aesthetic sense. The aesthetic
elements OF architecture are mass. pro-
I portion. division and texture. The en-
/ GinecrinS qualities are durability.
strength and fitness.
The manner in which these architec-
I iural problems were solved was inter
estingly presented to-the audience by
sketches Of the structure OF The chief
buildings Of each historic period. Mr.
/ Calisch made four main divisions H.
! his historic summary Ancient. which
includes Egyptian and .tsSyrian: elias
steal comprised OF Greek and Roman;
/ medieval. with it's transitional EyZan-
/ tine and Eomancsque. and its culm-
mating Gothic. aud Renaissance. OF
which latter period our modern archi-
/ lecture forms a part
Mr.. CaliSch mad" a dra wing Of the
| great pyramid OF Egypt, describing as
he drew tho characteristics Of the peo-
pie who built tnc pyramids. They be-
lonEcd 10 q civilization which ante
dated that of tho 1haroahs. That they
were peace loving people who be-
heNer IN an unseen zoo is fcNcalcu pN
the decorations in the Inner chambers
Of these structures. which paintings
show people engaged ia tho occupa-
lions of peace, ana the King aud Queen
Offering incense to an unseen God.
In discussing the engineering prob
/ lens involved the speaker said that
the great pyramid covers more ground
than any cathedral in En!pe. and with
the exception Of the spires Of Cologne

and were buflded eternity.

WELCOME THE NEW YEAR.

To bid dear old friend farewell,
knowing that you will never see him
again, is always a sad thing The
old year 1916 was good year, filled
from beginning to end with richness
and good cheer. To some of us per-
haps there were dark days and sore
trials, but to the majority, the bright
days far outnumbered the dark ones,
and the blessings and joys exceeded
in number sorrows and misfOrtuncs.
Therefore, we all bid the old year Il
grateful, if sorrowful, goodbye"
At the same time we welcome
the New Year with gladncss and
hope trusting and believing that it
will, like its predecessor, be filled
with all goodness to all men. This
year promises to be memorable in
history, as the Peace Year. The war
ing nations, urged by our pcacc-lov-
ing, peace promoting President, are
holding out to each other, the hand
Of peace. In some way peace will be
made this year, it is confidently stated
and make this 1917 memorable veal
in the annals of time. May it be so!
