THE College Of Preachers building, with its
chapel, it's furnishings and its landscape
developments, represents $45O,0OO benefaction,
all provided by the late Alexander Smith Coch-
ran, member of the Cathedral Chapter, in
memory of his mother, the late Mrs. William
F. Cochran. The donor also provided 81 900 600
by bequest to be used endowment for the
support of College of Preachers activities.
The new building constructed for use of the
lower school department of ST. Adams the Ma
tional Cathedral School for Boys, is likewise
of collegiate Gothic design. OF Potomac blue
stone, it is three stories in height and is con-
nected with the main building by a graceful
cloiSter The site, which faces Massachusetts,
avenue, was selected in accordance with the
landscape development program of the entire
Cathedral Close.
Planned to meet the most exacting educa.
tional requirements, the structure provides &C.
commodations for los boys attending classes.
There are six class rooms, masters living quar-
tiers, three music practice rooms a manual
training room and large play room, which is
to be used temporarily for recreational activ-
tiles until the permanent gymnasium provided
in the ultimate plans of the school, is built.
Ranking high among the preparatory schools
OF the country, st. Adams has grown from an
enrolment of approximately SO students when
it opened in 1909 to a present student body of
ITO boys. The Rev. Albert Lucas, formerly as
ISOLATED with Episcopal Academy, at Philadel-
phia, is the headmaSter.
Continued progress in the building of the
cathedral and the development of it's educa-
tional institutions is the desire of all those who
have the great endeavor at heart. Toward this
end several important national committees are
functioning. Gen. Pershing is national chair
man, former United States Senator George
Wharton Pepper Is executive chairman, and
notable men and women residing in all sections
Of the country committee members
Gifts and offerings may be made for wide
variety of purposes. Noteworthy among these
is the opportunity to provide for individual
stones such as are daily placed in the cathedral
fabric. The architects have estimated the cost
of quarrying fabricating and placing single
stones, and many individuals and organizations
are providing for these as expressions of their
interest.
There is something inspiring about a cathe-
dral and many of the pilgrims who will travel
to Mount st. Alban on Easter are not only
availing themselves of the opportunity of seeing
one built. but are through their gifts actually
helping to build it.

OF variegated stone with limestone trim, the
College Of Preachers Building contains accom-
modations for IS resident students and, with its
great refectory and spacious common room, is
in position to entertain gatherings of between
100 and 200 persons. The refectory provided an
excellent gathering place for the breakfast held
on Washington's birthday following the annual
corporate communion service of the Brother
hood of St. Andrew.
The charm of the building is further en-
HANGED by skilfully conceived and well executed
landScaping. Picturesque masses Of holly yew
and large masses of tree box have been used
with appealing effect. The walks and steps Of

the dignified approach are softened by irregular
forms of old English lockwood, and an ancient
wistaria vine climbs the height of the tower.
The most delightful development is at the
heart of the buildings. It is a little court or
cloister garth. Instead of the usual square. the
shape is irregular, with three points of garden
interest. One is little round pool just OUT
side the mullioned windows Of the common
room The other is an ancient magnolia tree,
its branches overhanging the roof and creating
shadow patterns on the walls and level lawns,
while the third is an Irish yew near buttress
