Abstract :
An important milestone in the progress of the science of illumination was passed during the week of September 8th, when a group of 75 illuminating engineers in New York, and another group of 100 in Chicago, attended a special course of lectures on the “Fundamentals of Architecture for Illuminating Engineers.” The courses were given concurrently from September 8 to 13, by Columbia University in New York and the University of Illinois and Armour Institute in Chicago. Two lectures on architecture and allied subjects were given on each of the five days by professors of architecture of the respective universities, and by prominent architects from each city. Inspection trips were also made to representative buildings.
