Paris Prize Competition of the Society of Beaux-Arts Architects 
Paris, and this it does, as 
far as the outside world is 
concerned, through the 
medium of its architec¬ 
tural course of study, 
held under the direction 
of its Educational Com¬ 
mittee. 
It has adopted a regu¬ 
lar curriculum modeled 
after that of the Ecole 
des Beaux-Arts in Paris. 
It has ateliers and studios 
run under its auspices; it 
manages courses of lec¬ 
tures and exhibitions, and 
it has established within 
the last two years, as a 
fitting climax of its edu- 
cational efforts, the com¬ 
petition for the so-called 
“Paris Prize.” 
That the influence in 
architectural matters of 
the Society of Beaux-Arts 
Architects has been felt 
all over the country, can¬ 
not be questioned; its 
scheme of study has now 
been practically adopted 
by the Architectural De¬ 
partments of three of our 
leading Universities; a 
matter upon which the 
members of the Society 
have every reason to con¬ 
gratulate themselves, for 
it shows that their labors 
have been applied in the 
right direction, and it also 
furnishes further proof 
that the application of 
common sense, reason 
and logic, to the accom¬ 
plishing of anything in 
this world, will inevitably 
win out in the long run. 
There is nothing new 
or experimental in what 
the Society of Beaux-Arts 
Architects teaches, or in 
the way it teaches it. It 
aims simply to perpetuate 
the scheme and spirit of 
the propaganda in vogue 
at the Ecole des Beaux- 
Arts, which comes down 
to us as a heritage through
