a printed report on French Schools
in War Time" which is the report
on his special mission to France in
May and June, 1917. In filing the report

he has attempted to describe the spirit
that pervades the schools and universities
of France rather than the methods Of
their teaching.

plan for a prospective victory monu-
ment to be erected on a hill In devas-
tated Belgium and to serve as a de-
poSitory for the peace treaty which Is
to como from allied victory. The COM
sors in the architectural department Of
the institute acted as Judges.
Grunsfeld. who is only FL years old,
submitted a design which met with such
high commentator from the college
professors that they unanimously de-
cided to give him three prize awards.
The first Of these was the gold medal
Of the Societe des Architectes Diplomes
par lie Commencement Francois.
Tho second award to the young New
York architect was the gold medal OF
the American Institute Of Architects.
This high honor was granted to him on
the Recommendation OF the architectural
faculty and was given because young
Grunfeld scored the best record In
architectural design among the stu
dents In the graduating class.
His third honor came in the award
Of the Rotch prize of 5000 given each
year to the student in the institute
graduating class who makes the best
general record during the course. This
sum was donated by Arthur Rotch,
long interested in architectural matters
The Grunsfeld prize winning design
comprises a carefully worked out
scheme for an elaborate monument
which IL placed in New York city would
cover nearly all of Manhattan Square
Park. between Seventy seventh and
Eighty-hrst streets and Central Park
West.
The professors in making their
awards emphasized the remarkable
clearness with which the young archi-
tect showed his train of thought in
solving the problem. Besides the pro-
lection plan Grunsfeld drew a bird's-eye
view as though taken from an airplane.
The awards granted to the New York
boy have been listed in the institute
catalogue.
