The first European influence was the Spanish, to be seen today in Mexico and the far Southwest. The Spanish influence was typically baroque, as is illus-trated in the Cathedral at Mexico City, with its bell-shaped, rather Moorish towers, its scrolls, and Royal Canadians came into real prominence.

This type was also to be employed in the English col-onial buildings. The American In-dian was responsible for the Pueblo architecture, with its flat roofs and rough, adobe finish. Probably the first building to represent Ameri-can architecture on this side of the border was the Old Governor's Mansion in New Mexico. This build-ing is of especial interest because of the beautiful shadow-work which it casts in the bright sunshine of the Southwest. The most primitive type of the real Anglo-Saxon architecture is to be found in the Northern col-onies. There is a difference in opin-ion as to what should be classified as colonial architecture, but it is generally agreed that that type should begin with the permanent buildings erected after the settlers left their temporary "charcoal huts" and extend to around 1700, when the so-called Georgian period be-gan. The first Anglo-Saxon build-ings showed no attempt at decora-tion.

Much energy has been expended in improving the Engineering library and the Chemical library, and the results so far have been very satis-factory. Those who have had the most to do with the work on these two libraries, though, have found themselves severely handcapped by the lack of funds and they are ask-ing that friends of the Institute who may have books of value, and who would like to help the Institute, should send their collections to the libraries. It was with the occupation of the new Engineering building in 1931 that work was started to build up a good engineering library. For-merly all the engineering books had been housed in the main li-brary. Since 1931 the Engineering faculty has succeeded in gathering together a creditable collection of books, and now the Library and Reading room in Nichols Hall is the source of much valuable infor-mation to engineers. Col. R. A. Marr, who has been very active in building up the li-brary says in the Alumni News, "Many V. M. I. men own excellent libraries both technical and of gen-eral scope. The engineering depart-ments wish to request that when owners of such libraries have no more use for the books, they donate them to the Engineering Library." Major Tucker, in writing for the same publication, says, "One of the most successful innovations has been the rearrangement of the chemistry library and its regulation ; in such wise as to permit its use by First Classmen until ten o'clock, and by others all during the day." The library is housed in two rooms in Maury-Brooke Hall and pro- ! vides a satisfactory place of study for twelve or fifteen men at a time. But Major Tucker, too, in his work of improving the library finds the need for additional books for he says, "While the small number j of journals available form a very valuable nucleus, the facilities for finding chemical information are i distinctly limited, chiefly by the lack of complete files for back j numbers of various chemical pe-riodicals. . . . Most pressing at the present is the lack of back numbers of periodicals such as the German "Berichte," the Annalen der Chemie, Journal of the Chemi- (Continued on page eight) According to information given by Col. Couper and in the Alumni News, the book will be printed on antique paper and in a type easily read. The genealogical data will be given in smaller type; it will show the children, so far as they are known, and the ancestors through the grandparents. It will contain from 200 to 240 pages and four or more illustrations with a complete index. According to present plans the book will be issued before finals and probably before New Market Day. A brief account of the battle and a bibliography of former pub-lications concerning the battle will be included. It is, however, essen-tially the story of the life of each man who took part in the battle of New Market or who was a mem-ber of the V. M. I. New Market Corps. The extremely diversified careers of these men make a fascinating volume and one which everybody who has ever had any connection with the Institute should possess. Colonel Couper is prepared to ac-cept advance orders for the books. He requests that orders be placed with him and that checks in pay-ment be made to the "V. M. I. New Market Biography." The price of the books bound in cloth will be $1.50 and in paper $1.00. An extra fifteen cents should be added to cover postage and insurance. 1 La. and after three years at Lou-; , isiana State University entered j West Point in 1917. Because of the war he was graduated in 1918 with : the commission of Second Lieu-tenant of Field Artillery. Promotion came quickly to Lieu-tenant Tate for October 15, 1919, brought him a first lieutenancy but the Acts of Congress approved June 30, 1922, and September 14, 1922, providing for a reduction in the commissioned personnel of the Army necessitated his discharge as a first lieutenant and reappintment as a second lieutenant. However, six months later he was again pro-moted to his former rank. In 1919, Lieutenant Tate made a tour of the battle fields in Europe and visited the allied countries. Returning to the United States in the fall he was assigned to duty as a student officer, Basic Course, at the Field Artillery Schools at Camp Taylor, Kentucky, and Camp Knox, Kentucky. The following year he was transferred to Camp Bragg, North Carolina, and spent the next three years at that post and at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. In August, 1923, he entered upon a three year detail in Hawaii, serv-ing at Schofield Barracks. This for-eign tour was followed by two years—September 1926 to August, 1928—at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. His last detail and the one he completes this June to the re-gret of all who know him has been as assistant professor of military science and tactics at the Virginia Military Institute. Lieutenant Tate is a splendid ath- (Continued on page eight) (Continued on page eight, i History Lecture Pamphlets Go To Press; Appearance Expected Soon Nearly all of the copy for the V. M. I. History pamphlets has been ! turned over to the printers who promise to speed the printing work and have the booklets ready for re-lease at an early date. The recep- | tion of the booklets in barracks was not quite so good as was ex-pected but the support given the move to publish the lectures was sufficient to make sure of its suc-cess. Since the idea of publishing thp lectures given by V. M. I. profes-sors on the History of V. M. I. wa> conceived, the plans for the book, lets have changed considerable. As i finally completed they call for a sixty-four page booklet bound in a paper cover of cadet gray which will be printed in blue ink. The booklet will contain four pages of illustrations, which will be views of the Institute as it is today. All of the lectures will be printed as nearly as they were given as is possible considering the number of pages available. The booklet is the only thing of its kind that has ever been printed and it will contain much valuable information about the Institute which has never been widely known before. It will make available many small and interesting inci-dents connected with the history of V. M. I. and will not treat merely with the well-known facts. Among the lectures, which will be printed under the title given them by the speakers, will be found much in-formation about the personalities and deeds of V. M. I.'s five super-intendents, many details about the battle of New Market and equally as many interesting facts about the early years of the Institute. The part that V. M. I. played in the Civil and World Wars will receive much space as will the lecture on V. M. I. athletics. The booklets have been sold in barracks to cadets with the per-mission of paying for them any time prior to May first. Those who have not ordered them at this time will be able to get copies after they are printed on the same terms. They may be ordered through the mail at the regular price of seven-ty- five cents plus charges for mail-ing. This price applies to immediate orders, for after May first they will be sold out of barracks for one dol-lar. Those among the alumni or others who desire copies should communicate with the Editor of THE CADET at an early date.
