Several large tables can be
provided in the club-rooms, and the problem worked up as a club design.
This plan has been followed in the Boston Architectural Club with great
success.
The study of academic design is of the utmost importance to the young
architect, and unfortunately the opportunities for such study in the
usual routine of office practice are not very extensive. The working out
each season of two or three such designs as those required by the
Beaux-Arts Society will be of material benefit to the older men who are
already familiar with the academic methods of design, and of much more
benefit to the younger men whose opportunities have been more limited.
The criticism and suggestion of the older men in the profession is
easily obtained while the work is in progress. Nothing could be better
calculated to foster a certain _esprit de corps_, which is certainly a
desirable quality in any club.
The personnel of the Cleveland Club is as follows: Benj. S. Hubbell,
president; Harry S. Nelson, vice-president; Herbert B. Briggs,
secretary; Perley H. Griffin, librarian; E. E. Noble, treasurer; W. D.
Benes and Wilbur M. Hall, members of the executive board. The officers
and Robert Allen, Frederick Baird, J. W. Russell, G. B. Bohm, Williard
Hirsh, Ray Rice, Albert E. Skeel, and C. S. Schneider constitute the
charter membership.
