The School of Landscape Architecture has lengthened its curriculum to three years, instead of the course covering two and a half years plus a thesis as has been the case in previous years, it was announced yesterday by R. W. Pond, Dean of the School. The change will affect all men entering this year.
It was also announced that M. J. Williams, instructor in Landscape Topography and Construction, has been appointed to conduct all courses in Landscape Construction to take the place of Professor H. V. Hubbard '97, who was recently named incumbent of the Charles D. Norton chair of Regional Planning in the new School of City Planning.
Enrolment increases
The figures on the fall registration were also given out. The registration in the School this year reached its highest mark in the last three years, having a total of 62 men entered. In 1927-1928, there were 57, while last year there were but 41 men registered. There were 37 new men in this year's incoming class, of whom over half had had previous undergraduate training in their college courses. This is an unusual increase over the average entering group of from 15 to 20 men.
Members of the School of Landscape Architecture recently completed the first of their semi-annual trips, travelling to Philadelphia to visit private estates, study designs, investigate current work. In previous years the members of the School have gone to Long Island and the Berkshires: and next spring they will study work on the North Shore.
There has just been exhibited a traveling show given by the American Society of Landscape Architects, placing on view large photographs of estates and gardens. In the near future there will be exhibits from various schools and colleges.
