Context and question: It took about 20 years to build the city from 1911. Many elements of New Delhi architecture borrow from indigenous sources; however, they fit into a British Classical/Palladian tradition. The fact that there were any indigenous features in the design were due to the persistence and urging of both the Viceroy Lord Hardinge and historians like E.B. Havell.
What historian is partially responsible for the use of indigenous features in the architecture of New Delhi?
Answer: E.B. Havell
Context and question: The lower (Triassic) boundary is set by the PermianTriassic extinction event, during which approximately 90% to 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates became extinct. It is also known as the "Great Dying" because it is considered the largest mass extinction in the Earth's history. The upper (Cretaceous) boundary is set at the CretaceousTertiary (KT) extinction event (now more accurately called the CretaceousPaleogene (or KPg) extinction event), which may have been caused by the impactor that created Chicxulub Crater on the Yucatan Peninsula. Towards the Late Cretaceous large volcanic eruptions are also believed to have contributed to the CretaceousPaleogene extinction event. Approximately 50% of all genera became extinct, including all of the non-avian dinosaurs.
What event sets the boundary for the Triassic?
Answer: PermianTriassic extinction
Context and question: In 1899, the university opened a national design contest for the new campus. The renowned Philadelphia firm Cope & Stewardson won unanimously with its plan for a row of Collegiate Gothic quadrangles inspired by Oxford and Cambridge Universities. The cornerstone of the first building, Busch Hall, was laid on October 20, 1900. The construction of Brookings Hall, Ridgley, and Cupples began shortly thereafter. The school delayed occupying these buildings until 1905 to accommodate the 1904 World's Fair and Olympics. The delay allowed the university to construct ten buildings instead of the seven originally planned. This original cluster of buildings set a precedent for the development of the Danforth Campus; Cope & Stewardson's original plan and its choice of building materials have, with few exceptions, guided the construction and expansion of the Danforth Campus to the present day.
On what date was construction completed on Ridgley?
Answer:
