maximum degree of completeness reasonable 

 for such a general plan and taking into ac- 

 count what other drawings he is going to pre- 

 sent with this plan. 



2. First-floor plans of all buildings at I 

 inch scale. 



3. Sufficient sketch elevations to convey an 

 impression of the general form and style of 

 each building as conceived by the competi- 

 tor. 



4. Complete construction drawings and 

 specifications for the formal garden, except for 

 possible statuary or carving, which can be sug- 

 gested. 



5. All drawings, specifications, and state- 

 ments necessary for complete effective execu- 

 tion of the informal garden. 



6. A complete grading emd pipe plan of the 

 whole place, at the scale of the topographic 

 map, with accompanying profiles of all roads 

 (but not path), and cross-sections wherever 

 desirable to insure proper modeling of the 

 ground surface. On this grading plan are to 

 be indicated complete provisions for disposal 

 of surface water as well as sewage, and loca- 

 tions of pipes, hydrants, etc., for water- 

 supply for all purposes, including fire protec- 

 tion. 



7. Details, at I inch scale of all drain-inlets, 

 catch-basins, hydrants, and such other minor 

 engineering structures as the particular scheme 

 calls for. 



8. Complete planting plcm or plans for 

 whole place, including formal and informal 

 flower-gardens, and vegetable-garden; and 

 recommendations for preservation, removal, 

 or supplementing of existing tree growth. 

 This plan is to be accompanied by complete 

 planting lists. 



9. At least two perspective drawings: one 

 showing the main building or building-group 

 in relation to its surroundings (this may be a 

 bird's eye view), the other a view in the formal 

 garden showing the most important feature. 



10. A full careful report covering the draw- 

 ings and other material submitted by the 

 competitor, and supplying such explanation as 

 will be helpful to a clear understanding of the 

 competitor's scheme (particularly the reasons 

 behind its various provisions), and including 

 a complete list of the cost data employed (see 

 accompanying sheets of cost-unit data) 

 whether supplied by the Fellowship Commit- 

 tee or not, and full text of competitor's cal- 

 culations and estimates. This report is also 

 to be used as the opportunity to argue effec- 

 tively for the solution offered. 



11, Complete calculations of quantities of 

 materials and estimates of cost of the work. 



12. Any other plans, drawings, sketches, 

 specifications, reports, or estimates, which the 

 complete satisfactory execution of the general 

 scheme may call for. 



In all cases the form of presentation — in- 

 cluding material, style of rendering, etc., — is 

 left entirely to the competitor to determine. 



COST DATA 



For the purposes of this problem, it is to be 

 assumed: 



1. That the nearest freight-siding to the 

 property is one-half mile distant from the 

 northeast corner of the property. 



2. That, wherever a rock-outcrop is shown 

 on the topographic map, the actual rock sur- 

 face slopes outward and downward, in all di- 

 rections, at an angle of 30 degrees from the 

 horizontal. 



3. That labor and materials, and construc- 

 tions called for on this particular job, will cost 

 according to the following cost-unit data so 

 far as these are found to cover, and, where 

 unit-data are not supplied, the competitor is 

 to make and state his own assumptions of 

 them:
