LLEWELLYN PRIZE FOR ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERS.

"""

(8) The following letter from Mr. Joseph C. Llewellyn, of Chicago, a graduate of the University of the, Class of 1877, offering to establish, for a period of four years, a prize of fifty dollars ($50) per annum for a problem in design, the competition to be limited to the architectural engineers: April 29, 1912. Professor F. M. Manns Champaign, III. MY DEAR PROFESSOR MANN : I have noticed with considerable interest the desire of the architectural engineers at work in the offices of architects and elsewhere to acquire some knowledge of architectural design. The advantage of such knowledge is apparent to any one who has attempted to work architectural draftsmen and architectural engineers together, and I can not help but feel that any instruction which would acquaint the architectural engineers with the principles of designing would be a distinct advantage both to themselves and those who employ them. I realize it is practically impossible to crowd into a four years' course all that a young man should have, but it has occurred to me that a prize offered to architectural engineers for the best presentation of some simple problem in design might induce them to do a little outside thinking, reading, and work along this line, so have this proposition to make to you. I will give you fifty dollars ($50) annually for the next four years as a prize for a problem in design, limited to the architectural engineers. Beyond the four years I make no promise. It remains to be seen what good will come from the experiment. Yours very truly,

J. C. LLEWELLYN.

It was voted that this gift be accepted, and that the thanks of the Board of Trustees be sent to Mr. Llewellyn.
