Moreover, stated Professor Pray, the School of Landscape Architecture to a greater degree than in most branches of the University, accepts and registers men all through the year, and hence its full increase cannot be reckoned at this time. In view of the fact that our school is the only genuine graduate institution of landscape architecture in the country, men come to it from all over the United States and even from abroad, and I find myself unable to fill all the positions offered to graduates, a condition unusual in the case of men just through professional school. The two new annual instructors who have been added to the Landscape Architecture faculty are M. J. Williams, who teaches landscape design, and H. K. Mechlinck, who gives a course in City Planning. There is under consideration, added Professor Pray, the giving of certain courses the first time next summer on the estate of Mr. and Mrs. C. G.
