American Architecture
influenced by Europe

Since all American architecture is
profoundly influenced by European
tendencies, practically our only dis
tinct characteristic is magnitude,
and the fact that we excel in the
mechanical equipment of the home,
architects declared.
The first business meeting of the
society was held this afternoon,
following a closed meeting of di-
rectors and separate luncheons of
men and women guests. Visits to
the Architects Building Material
exhibit at ISL E. Market ST., and to
the architectural exhibit at the
John Heron Art Institute are fea-
lures of the program.
The presence of Eliel Saarinen,
Finnish architect, who will be the
principal speaker at the closing
banquet in the Travertine room of
the Lincoln, Saturday evening, is of
great interest to architects and lay
men. Saarinen won second prize in
the Chicago Tribune tower contest.
