The last meeting of the T Square Club of Philadelphia, was one of unusual activity.  The annual election of officers and the competition of summer sketches as called for by the Club syllabus was found to be too much for one evening, and consequently the judging of the sketches was postponed a week.

The following officers were elected:  President, Albert Kelsey; Vice-President, Edgar V. Seeler; Secretary, A.B.  Lacey; Treasurer, David K. Boyd; Executive Committee, Walter Cope, Louis C. Hickman, William L. Price.

The summer sketches, which were judged at one of the Club’s Bohemian Nights, were of unusual quality and quantity.  Walter Cope, who won first mention, had a large collection of pencil drawings representing the fruits of his labor in Spain.

Walter Price (who won third place) and John Bissegger had one end of the room covered with sketches in color and line made during a recent trip through England, and Wilson Eyre, Jr., the winner of the second mention, had a variety of subjects beautifully rendered on quaint paper, and in his well-known and ever novel way.

Music and beer were plentiful, and had a cheering effect upon Titus, Dull, Kelsey, and Klauder, whose summer work failed to score a mention.

The syllabus of the Club’s work for the coming year has just been issued and contains some features of special interest.  The problems in design are chosen with much care and the programmes are more explicit than is usual, and will doubtless contribute to the usefulness of the work to be done.

The T Square Club appears to be more fortunate than some of the other architectural clubs in having interested and succeeded in holding the interest of a number of the stronger of the older men among the local architects.  It now numbers about one hundred and twenty members, and its work is necessarily having considerable influence in outside circles.

Its example is a good one to hold up before other and less influential clubs.

Among the architectural clubs thus far noticed in this column no account has been taken of the clubs connected with the architectural schools.  Of these there are at present several which are doing good and effective work, but the only one of which we have data for a description is that connected with Lehigh University.  The school of architecture, as it is called, is not a school of architecture at all, but of engineering (which is a very different thing), but its work is none the less dignified or important on this account, and the opportunity open to the students’ club is in consequence a wider and more serious one than usual if they choose to concern themselves with artistic considerations.
