Philetus Clarke Knowlton, M.Arch. '17, of Memphis, Tenn., has been awarded the Julia Amory Appleton Fellowship in Architecture for the year 1917-18. The competition for this fellowship was open to those who have received the degree of master in architecture from the University. Five men submitted preliminary sketches, but only three completed their drawings. The problem this year was to draw an American Institute of Arts and Letters such as would be suitable for a society of 200 eminent men of letters.
The fellowship was established in 1906 by Charles F. McKim, of New York City, through a gift of $20,000 as the permanent foundation for a traveling fellowship in architecture with an annual stipend of $1,000. He called it the Julia Amory Appleton Fellowship in memory of his wife.
Under the provisions of the fellowship, Knowlton will be required to spend at least one year in travel and study in Europe, under the general direction of the Council of the Architectural School. With certain conditions, Knowlton will have the right of entering and the privilege of working under the direction of the American Academy at Rome.
