The following classes have been arranged for some time ago:  Water Color, under Hugh M.G.  Garden; Architecture, under George R. Dean; Pen and Ink, under Charles E. Birge; Modeling, under Richard W. Bock.

A talk on “The Impecunious Draughtsman Abroad” was given by Mr. Myron H. Hunt, and Mr. George R. Dean has given a lantern-slide exhibition, illustrating the Chateau de Blois.

The club also held a joint meeting with the Chicago Society of Artists, when Mr. N.S.  Patton discussed the question of “The Architectural and Artistic Possibilities of the Lake Front.”

The annual banquet and meeting of the Cleveland Architectural Club was held at the Hollenden Hotel Thursday evening, November 14, with about forty present.  Dinner was served at six o’clock, followed by toasts from Messrs. John L. Culley, F.A.  Coburn, and Charles W. Hopkinson, with President Hubbell as toastmaster.

After the speaking the annual meeting was held, with an address by the president, reports by the secretary, treasurer, librarian, chairman of the Current Work Committee, and the chairman of the Entertainment and House Committee.
