presenting this, the Catalogue of the Exhibition of 1899-1900, the T Square Club
INwishes to express its appreciation of the interest and consideration with which the
Catalogue of last year was received, not only by the profession and the technical
journals, but by the public at large: also its appreciation of the numerous reviews,
published both here and abroad, giving the Club the advantage of extended and diverse
criticism.
The central idea of the last catalogue was an inquiry into the possibilities of an
unaffected school of modern architecture in America. A suggestion towards a solution of
one of the many phases of this problem has been embodied in the present programme of
the competitions in design to be worked out practically by the members of the T
Square Club.
This year, in view of the fact that a more durable binding has been selected for the
Catalogue, the Club has imposed upon itself the added responsibility of a more careful
choice of subjects and their presentation in compact form. It is hoped thus to make these
Annual Catalogues more acceptable as a permanent addition to the library and to still
further increase their influence as manuals of the best modern Architecture.
In the present Catalogue as much emphasis as possible has been given to problems
of every-day practical value, selected for originality of thought and expression rather than
for size, importance or rendering. The Suburban House, The City Front, Elevations with
plans, Working Drawings, Detail and measured drawings and photographs of executed work
are given the preference over sketches and general drawings, which are often, by reason of
indefiniteness or too great reduction from the original, of no real value for the purposes of
study and comparison.
An international character has been secured to the exhibition by the efforts of the
representatives of the Club, Mr. Paul A. Davis, 3rd. and Mr. Wm. P. Cresson, who have
been successful in obtaining drawings from leading architects in England and France, and
to whom the T Square Club expresses its indebtedness.
This Exhibition is the first of the circuit of exhibitions arranged by the Architectural
League of America in which a drawing will pass from one city to another without requir-
ing further directions from the Exhibitor.
To suit the arrangement of dates adopted for the Circuit, the Exhibition will be held
at the Art Club and not in conjunction with the regular exhibition at the Pennsvlvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, as heretofore. The T Square Club extends its unreserved thanks
to the Directors and Exhibition Committee of the Art Club for their courtsey and for the use
of the Gallery both day and evening.
The opportunity to view the Exhibition at night is an especial source of gratification,
as the drawings can thus be adequately studied by the office draughtsman, who cannot find
sufficient time during the day, and makes it possible for the Exhibition therefore to accom-
plish more fully its purpose as an educational institution.
The Committee much regrets that the limited space at the disposal of the Club has
made it impossible to hang a number of drawings which would have been of advantage to
the Exhibition.
The thanks of the Club are due Mr. T. Guernsey Moore for his drawing for the
catalogue cover and Mr. Wilson Eyre, Jr. for the design for the poster.
,
The T Square Club, in order to gain the most serious possible work in the monthlv
competitions, has decided to substitute, for the awarded gold and silver medals for the
highest averages of the year, a Traveling Fellowship, appropriating a sum to be spent in
a few months of European travel under the direction of the Club.
In the programme of the Traveling Fellowship an innovation has been ventured upon.
the results of which have been entirel) itisfactory. Instead of the hurry, and often the
injustice of the timed competition, it has been decided to award the Fellowship on the
average of the competitions of the year, so that the criterion would be sustained effort and
not a brilliant coup.
Ea< h competition is judged for itself without reference to the preceding ones, the ele-
vations as elevations, and the plans as plans, so that there need be no cause for discoui
ment among unsuccessful competitors-.
two competitions of the series, which are concerned with the grouping of
In the' last
parts, and the grasp of the problem as a whole, any changes dictated by the experiences of
the year may be introduced, but the departure from the general preliminary lay-out of the
first competition will at the same time be taken into consideration.
The subject fortius yearisa Semi Suburban Residence near Philadelphia, a local, prac-
tical problem exactly suited to draughtsmen, and one to which every-day office experiem e
can be applied.
At the same time it is inspired by the double purpose of solving the relation of indi-
vidual privacy to the general benefit of the community, and of suggesting a type of resi-
dence that shall be modern and yet conserve the characteristics that have long been distin<
-
The Square Club framed resolutions early in the year requesting the Honorable
T
Secretary of the Treasury, in the exercise of his discretion, as provided in the Tarsney
Act, to select local architects to enter into competition for certain public buildings in
various cities and towns of Pennsylvania.
These resolutions were forwarded to the influential Architectural Societies of the
country, and were by many of them endorsed in further resolutions to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the prospects for the successful operation of the Tarsney Act in these and
other localities are considered excellent.
On Wednesday, October 18, 1899, the officers and trustees of the Free Library of
Philadelphia tendered a reception to the T Square Club at the Pepper Memorial Hall, for
the purpose of there introducing to the profession the Architectural Library, which is
already ample and contains many valuable and unique works.
The aid of the Club has been especially requested in the selection of new works,
and it welcomes the formation of this collection, because its practical value and its
liberal administration, as already demonstrated, will render it of genuine service to the
profession and a means of advancing architectural standards.
The T Square Club has steadily followed the policy of being entirely a workingman's
, lub. Without which has been the means of success, it will do
vitiating this earnest spirit
more in the future to bring about the every-day intercourse of its members.
Already arrangements have been made to furnish a daily luncheon for the members,
and much good can be expected to accrue to the Club from the consequent discussion of its
affairs and the working out of schemes for its advancement by those whose
interests are so
closely allied.
The T Square Club keenly appreciates the advantages to be derived from membership
in the Architectural League of America, and welcomes most heartily the spontaneous
rapprochement it has brought about.
The broader sense of professional fellowship and responsibility stimulated by the inter-
change of ideas among the members of diverse architectural bodies in itself promises much,
while the holding of a referendum or national convention gives opportunity for the free
discussion of pertinent topics, the enunciating of ideals, and at the same time furnishes a
court of appeal particularly welcome to the profession in this State which has thrice vainly
endeavored to have the Pennsylvania State Capitol competition scandal fearlessly
investigated.
The basis of organization of the newly-formed League, as we understand it, is simply
local self-government. A number of independent societies from time to time come together
for consultation. Each unit retains its individuality, and is under no obligation to the central
body. In other words the organization is voluntary and not binding, and may assert itself
under many different conditions. Its make-up may totally change from year to year, and
in fact a society represented at one convention may even change in name, purpose and
membership without altering its standing in the League, provided it still has the advance-
ment of American Architecture at heart.
DIED
JENKINTOWN, PA., N OV. 10TH 1899,
the degree of Civil Engineer. Mr. Munoz immediately entered the School of
Mines, Columbia College, here completing the full course in two years. His
first practical study in architecture was during the summer of 1S87, in the office
of McKim, Mead & White, New York. He was graduated from Columbia Col-
lege with the highest standing and the degree of Ph. B. the following year, and
upon his arrival in Philadelphia, in the fall, entered the office of Theophilus P.
Chandler, Jr. In April, 1891, he was awarded the first McKim Traveling
Scholarship, and sailed for Europe in July, selecting for special study ' Modern
Architecture in Europe." From January to July the following year he spent in
the Ateliers of Daumet & Girault, working on the projects of the Ecole des
Peaux Arts. He returned to this country in November, and after a visit to Cuba
entered upon the active practice of his profession in Philadelphia. His skill in
drawing and design was notable, as attested by the many mentions received in
the competitions of the T Square Club, and at the Atlanta Exposition, his
drawings were awarded a gold medal.
During the Spanish occupation of Cuba Mr. Munoz promulgated a scheme,
and personally raised funds, for the relief of the reconcentrados, and succeeded,
in materially ameliorating their condition. Upon the outbreak of the Hispano-
American war in 1898 he instantly offered his services to the United States
Government. At Tampa he was appointed, upon the authority of the major-
general commanding, a volunteer A. D. C. by Brigadier Gen. T. Fred Kent,
commander 1st division U. S. Y., and served upon his staff until the troops
returned to Camp Wickoff. At the battle of San Juan, July 1st, he rendered most
valuable services, and on the morning of the 2d of luly was wounded in the
head. Upon his return from the hospital, two weeks later, he resumed his post,
where he found his training as a civil engineer of great value. ieneral Kent, in his
(
despatch from the field, praised him for his gallantry and efficiency, and subse-
quently Mr. Mufioz was recommended by the (Ieneral and other officers for a
captaincy in the engineers' corps, U. S. V.
In August, 1898, after his return with the army, he resumed the practice of
his profession,but in July, 1899, was called to his father's plantation, LasCanas,
Matanzas Province, Cuba, to assist in its rehabilitation after the war, and there
remained until his recent return for recuperation, after arduous labor, to Phila-
delphia, where his death took place suddenly on the 10th of November, 1899.
any one, but a cause for more than ordinary gratification to find them in a citi-
zen of an island wdiich has suffered such oppression as Cuba, and where such
potent influences for degeneration have so long been at work and have brought
forth so much of evil fruit. Mr. Munoz was the soul of honor, of courage, both
moral and physical. He showed perfect dignity and quiet patience under the
stress of worldly reverses. His gallantry was the more admirable from the perfect
modesty, which rather sought to hide that display the fact of his narrow escape
from death while in military service during the late war.
"We had hoped that he might have proved to be one of those to the manner '
born '
who would materially aid in the redemption of Cuba, for his character
and talents, his chivalric and patriotic spirit, alike fitted him for such a task but ;
it was not to be. Better than to witness the glitter of success, as it is popularly
understood, is it to look upon the calm light of a true character which reveals
itself but for a moment and then passes
we know not why to its eclipse."

For interior work, specifications should require zinc to
the exclusion of lead. The result will be more satisfactory

fully effective
in the remarkable paintings of Claude

is just as good. When a contractor or a painter or a finisher gives you a result on natural finish that
it is not as you expected, you may rest assured that he has not used the Wheeler Wood Filler, or
has only partially used it and mixed something else with it in some way or another and substituted
something for the other part.
This quotation from a prominent architect in a few words substantiates what we say :
" I have specified Wheeler's Patent Wood Filler for about eighteen years in this city. I have
tried other fillers, but do not find them equal to your filler. I went purposely to a house which I had
built sixteen years before, and where your filler had been used, to examine the finishing of the wood-
work and found it in excellent condition."
