page 15 of 21 (71%)

1st. A large entrance gallery for the placing and hanging of statuary
and paintings. This hall should be the main feature of the plan, and
should be carefully arranged for convenient and advantageous display,
without destroying the architectural effect. It may be one continuous
hall or divided into parts, at the discretion of the architect. It may
be lighted from above.

2d. A large glass-covered court to contain architectural fragments.

3d. An amphitheatre, to seat about two hundred, for lectures on art
subjects. A library and an assembly hall.

4th. Four class rooms. These rooms should be well-lighted and of easy
access to the court and gallery.

5th. A janitor's room and an office for the custodian. These rooms may
be small, but should be conveniently placed either at the entrance to
the building or to the grounds.

As the number of the students is limited, the size of the rooms is of
less importance than the circulation, convenience and artistic beauty of
the whole.

The building, being the home of the arts, should be pure in style and
classical in feeling, though not necessarily archæological.

Drawings required, viz.: One plan and one section at the scale of
one-sixteenth of an inch to one foot, and the front elevation at the
scale of one-eighth of an inch to one foot.
