Their Recognition and Names

rCouncil of Thirty

I Washington Jan l8Quick to ap-

preciate¬

the plea that the fine artshave been denied that governmentalconsideration so universally accordedby other nations as suggested by theAmerican Institute of ArchitectsPresident Roosevelt has taken thefirst steps looking to their recogni¬

tion by this governmentAs the initial move in response to

InstituteInounces asked the insti ¬

tute to designate the names of 30men representing all parts of thecountry to compose a council of thefine arts The object of the councilwhich is to consist of architectspainters sculptors landscape archi ¬

tects and laymen df which the supervising architect of the treasury is tobe the executive head is to adviseupon the character and design of allpublic works of architecture paint ¬

ings sculpture all monuments parksbridges and other works of whichthe design forms an integral partand to make suggestions and recom-mendations for the conservation ofall historic monuments

Gives Cordial ApprovalCordial approval is given by Presi ¬

dent Roosevelt to the recommenda-tions

¬

of the American Institute ofArchitects The president says hewill direct members of his cabinet torefer to the proposed council of finearts for their expert advice on allmatters in their charge embracingarchitecture selection of sites andpainting ¬

Moreover declares the presidentI shall request the council to watch

legislation and on its own initiativetheexecuiI proposed changes In existing menu I

i merits or with regard to any newproject I earnestly advisee your body

theenactM eet to whatvj am directing to bedone The course you advocate1 andwhich I approve should not be c per-missive

¬

with the executive it shouldbe made mandatory upon him by actof

congressWillImmediate Report

The president will Immediatelycall upon the council for a report asto the character and location of theLincoln memorial After thankingthe institute for its wise and patrlotic action the president says it willsecure to the American public whatIs literally priceless advice from thebest men in the several artistic pro¬

fessions throughout the countryThe committee also recommends

that a bureau of fine arts be estab ¬

lished which snould have authority toapprove or disapprove plans and de-signs of all future public works ofarchitecture etc

In presenting its recommendationsthe committee calls attention to themany millions of dollars appropriatedfor public buildings monuments andother works of art as lasting monu¬

ments to our civilization and deGlares that under our system and inthe absence of proper managementthe results do not adequately andproperly represent or express thestate enlightenment and cultivation which our people have attained
