EQUIPMENT

A large collection of casts of ornament from Spain and from Germany are jointly used by the departments of architecture and of art. Models of ceilings, roof trusses, stairs, joints in woodwork, with a large number of specimens of stone, terra cotta, moulded bricks, etc., are among the architectural collections, together with an interesting group of Norwegian, Indian, and Japanese art works. A series of working drawings of buildings designed by noted architects is placed in the architectural cabinet for convenient reference. A fine collection of 17,000 engravings, photographs, and photoprints, mounted on cards eleven by fourteen inches, is placed in the drawing rooms, classified according to the Dewey decimal system, for use in construction, history of architecture, and designing, and forms a most valuable working library for draftsmen and designers. An electric-arc lantern is permanently placed in a special lecture room with stepped floor. For use with it, there are 2,200 lantern slides illustrating the history of architecture, especially Richardson's best work, and American houses and club houses. A good number of the latest and best American, English, French, and German architectural works is to be found in the library of the University. Apparatus is provided for surveying, for making tests in heating and ventilation, and for making photographs and lantern slides. The department also possesses a large collection of working drawings from the offices of noted architects of residences, offices, United States buildings, and especially of the more important structures of the World's Columbian Exposition.
