DEMETRIOS APRIL 6 The 60th Founders' Day celebration was held on Saturday evening, April 6 at the cha pter house. They had the best program ever. The emphasis was placed on renewal of brotherhood, friendships, meeting new friends, and a good time. Gene Milhoan is doing an outstanding job as president of Demetrios Alumni Association.

The founding fathers gave her, during infancy, the sound foun- dation arid framework in which to grow.

WGA ReportSince being elected on December 30,

1972, my primary -goal for the FiateYnityis Three phased: 1) to make the Nationaland local chapters more functional; 2) toimprove communication between all levelsof the Fraternity; 3) to make the Nationalmore responsive to the needs of the localchapters.

In January of last year, at the requestof the last convention, I contacted FredWilliams about his status as WGS. Heresigned and I then appointed ChuckMosher to fill his position. The nomina­tion was sent to each of the chapters andalumni associations and his nominationwas approved unanimously. Also in Janu­ary, three was a meeting held in LosAngeles with Chuck Mosher, Howard VanHeuklyn - Grand Lecturer, and me. Ourprimary purpose was to discuss communi­cation in the Fraternity and from thismeeting, the current status sheet evolved.Chuck Mosher is responsible for this.

In February, I tried to improve theCertificate engraving process. In the pastyears, an order from you for Certificatestook somewhere from 6 months to a year.This was much too long for results! Wenow have an engraver close to the NationalOffice, in Oregon, and we have been ableto cut the time down to a month to sixweeks.

In March, I held a meeting in Washing­ton, D.C. with the WGE. We discussedthe financial status of the National organi­zation, the direction in which we wereheading and other meetings we were going

to hold. At that same time I sent ChuckMosher to Minnesota and Michigan to re­view -the situations there..

In April, I was at the X'enocles Chapterto formally install the Cleisthenes Chapter.

In May, I sent two Anthemios Alumni,Ed Slygh and George Whitten to the PICNational Convention, held in Lake Geneva,Wisconsin.

From December to May, I tried to getfinished copy of the Convention Minutes,to send out to the chapters. Richard Hun­gate, National Inspector, assured me theywere being typed. Finally, in May, I askedfor them and I received them in the samescribbled mess they had been in, in Decem­bel'. I then forwarded them to Dick Mur­ray and he organized them into the formyou received in the fall. It took him thewhole summer to make sense out of them.

In August, because the national officewas not functioning in Columbus, I movedthe entire national office to be locatedwith me in Pendleton, Oregon. It arrivedin 21 boxes, and 1100 pounds of completechaos! We're still trying to straighten itout. My wife is actually doing the secre­tarial work for the national office. By theway, if you don't know it, the nationaloffice now has its own phone: 503-276­6876. If you have any problems or ques­tions, feel free to call anytime, collect.

In September, we finally got the Con­vention minutes put together and distrib­uted to all the chapters and Alumni Asso­ciations.

In October, we came out with a slickcopy of the Archi. The first slick copy

we've had in 2Y2 years. Also, at this timewe requested each of the Alumni Associa­tions to send to the national office, theirmost recent mailing list of their alumni.After going through the national officefiles, we discovered that we had no reliableaddress list. With the new alumni lists,we 'were able to put out 2000 Archi's.

In November we started a coordinatedreview of the Constitution and By-Laws.Our Constitution and By-Laws hasn't real­ly been updated since 1952, over 20 yearsago. Also, in November, we set up theframe work for the updating of the mail­ing list. I requested Chuck Mosher to sendout a letter to the Architectural Registra­tion Board in each state, to get a copy oftheir registry. We hope we will find manyof our lost alumni on these registries.. Wehave all ready received the listings from42 states.

At the same time, I asked Chuck Mosh­er to develop a national calendar, whichI'm sure he will explain later. At the endof November, I sent a letter to RichardHungate, National Inspector, giving himthe option to resign or to act more respon­sible in his position. In the letter, I statedif I received no answer within 30 days, Iwould consider his position vacant. I didnot receive an answer and so now his posi­tion of National Inspector is vacant. I'masking the WA's to search their AlumniAssociations for possible prospects for thisposition, and also suggestions from theGrand Council.

In December, I received the financialreport for the fiscal year 1973, from Dick

Page 3: Opening Tribute Opening Remarks - Alpha Rho Chi · Ricker. To honor him, ... One of our outstanding graduates and salesman, Ferdinand Loe bach '37 Anth., will be with the Kaiser Aluminum

Spr,ing 1974

Murray. It is ,all ready in the mail and youmay have all ready received it.

Now I'd like to address myself to chap­ter. inquiries and chapters. Since takingoffIce, there have been chapter inquiriesfrom four universities: 1) University ofDetroit, hopefully a colony will start soon;2) University of Michigan has a goodchance of re-establishing; 3) Prairie ViewA & M - but there is talk there of cut­ting out the Architectural department, sono chance of getting a colony startedthere;4) University of Texas, an inquiryabout re-establishing the Dinocrates Chap­ter. There was also a request from Cal.Poly Tech, in Pamona which came in twoyears ago. We follow'ed it up but theclimate' is not right at the present time.

There are several things I want to doprior to the Convention in October. Wewill be sending out the annual nationalbilling. W'e will be working on the up­dating of the Constitution and By-Lawsand we will be tackling the monumentaltask _of up-dating the mailing list. Also,we'll be taking the initiative in looking forchapters, and will be sending a letter andinformation to each of the accreditedschools of architure, as well as a leafleton Alpha Rho Chi. We will request themto see if the climate is right for starting aa colony there. As a directive from thelast convention, I will be reviewing theregion system of National, Deputies to seehow they can best serve the national andthe local chapters.

My wife is undertaking. a meeting rightnow with the Little Sisters here at An­themios, to find out about their Constitu­tion, and their functions. In the next fewmonths, she will be in contact with eachWA and hopefully set forth ways in whichyou might be able to set up Little SistersChapters at your chapter if you want.Also, she will be in contact with the An­dronicus Chapter to find out informationabout their Mothers' Club and will alsosend that on to each of you.

WGS ReportI've actually been doing the duties of

WGS for about a year now. I met withEdd and Howard last January 26th and27th and Edd outlined some of the thingshe wanted to accomplish. One of themwas to provide better communication be­tween the national, local chapters and thealumni. I explored many ideas, and finallycame up with the monthly status sheets.I sent it to the Grand Council for any sug­gestions or changes and I sent out the firstone in April. I am getting reluctance. frompeople to fill it out, because much of theinformation is the same. That's fine Idon't care if it's the same. However if ~ouare doing something different, if a prob­lem is beginning to develop, write it down!It's important to know what each of us isdoing.

In July, I wrote a letter introducing the

THE ARC H,I

New Grand Council officers to all theUniversity Deans where we have a Chap­ter. I offered our assistance in any prob­lems they might have. VPI was the onlyone that answered. I will do that againat the start of the school year.

In September, I requested response forcalendar type information for the NationalFraternity Calendar. At the same time Ialso requested, from Margaret Schules~hohandles the distribution of the APX Medal~ sample package of the APX Medal. M;Intent was to get that packet, review it,and make suggestions for improving it. Todate I have never received that.

In October, we began to see that thestatus boards were getting very poor re­sponse from the Alumni. It was apparentthat if the response was so poor from theAlumni President's then what about therest of our alumni? We had to find someway of finding and keeping in touch withour alumni on a national level. This iswhen I sent out the request letters to theNCARB for the addresses of the StateBoards of Regisration. I am waiting forall these to be sent back.

The National Calendar is ready. Wewanted a calendar that spread out theentire and we wanted one that was bigetnough to write national as well as localdates on. These dates will be distributedto chapters, alumni associations, deputiesand Grand Council. I'd like to sell themat the chapter level for about $2.00. Iwould hope that about October, I wouldsponsor a calendar design contest. I wouldhope, than on an annual basis, the chapterdesigning it or the person would havetheir name on it. I will periodically pub­lish, with the status sheet, important dates.

I made two trips, on behalf of the Fra­ternity, one in March and one in October.I flew to the Mnesicles chapter and be­cause the school was on spring break, Iwas able to meet with the alumni at avery appropriate time. They had justelected a new president and I was able tohelp them find out what National expectsfrom them. I gave a speech at a rush func­tion at the University of Michigan andonly one person showed up. She has donequite a bit of work and when I returnedin the fall there were about 35 people at asimilar rush function. I again returned toUniversity of Michigan in October and bythis time the 35 people have boiled downto a firm core of 12-15 and are now look­ing for a house. I also gave a slide showto the University of Detroit (28 people)and I think the core there, now, is 8 or10. We will hopefully have a colony therebefore June. I stopped and visited withthe Brothers at Xenocles on the way home.

I have also established a news releaseinformation system. When anything newsworthy happens, I send it to all of thearchitectural magazines.

WGE Report. y ~u all received, just recently, the pub­

lIcatIon of our annual financial reportwhich carries us through June 30 of las;year. Rou could almost budget from thatfinancia! report, the only difference beingconvention expenses. I cali estimate thatthe Convention this year will cost us$4000.00. If it were being held in Texasor California, the estimated cost would becloser to $7000.00. When we talk Con­vention, we're not talking peanuts.

. As ~ar as National goes, we're in goodfInanCIal shape. That. is not true of all ofthe chapters. In the last 6 years, we havelost. 4 chapters. These have all seem tohave two major reasons for their demise.The active membership drops off, duesstop coming in and they started dippinginto the till to finance operations. Theneither the chapter will revive because ofan influx of new blood, or it goes under.There's no way that three men can takecare of our far flung chapters. It's up tothe local people to take care of their own.You can get national guidance, but wecannot take care of the chapter's individ­ual problems. The chapters have two prob­lems in their association with the WGE:1) the inability of the Grand Council andnational to know who our individual mem­bers are and where they are; 2) the in­ability of the chapters to pay their dues,when they are due. I'd also like to discusshere the way the chapters classify theirmenlbers. In the Constitution and By-Lawsthere are seven classification of member­ship. However, I find many other classifi­cations being used. If you have somethingdifferent in your chapter, please let meknow.

Also, when pledge and initiation feesare paid, they do not belong to the chap­ter. You are receiving funds that belongto the national organization. Unfortunate­ly, it goes into the general fund and sospent. Therefore it is not available afterthe man is initiated to be sent on to thenational, so he may be recorded as anactive member not only of the local chap­ter, but of the national organization. Thishas to stop! We have to know who ouractive members are, who our alumni areand where they are. The only peoplewho can give us this information and tokeep a consistency on the national areyou, the actives.

Andronicus ChapterOur chapter is in good shape. We have

19 actives and 14 pledges. For the firsttime, we've pledge two females. Financial­ly, we're coming out of the woods now.About 2 years ago, we were about$10,000.00 in debt. Our biggest debt nowis to National for about $3200, so we'vecome down about $6000.00. That's becauseof the Worthy Estimator we've had for thepast two years. In the professional area,we've been having faculty talks aboutthree weeks and a tour to some architec­tural interest in Los Angeles about twicea month. In the past year, we've done alot of remodeling in the house. OurMother's Club is really helpful. They gaveus the carpeting for the entire secondfloor and the living room. They get theirmoney through rummage sales. Socially,we've had a good year too. Our socialfund is up from last year's $110 to $250.In scholarship, we've, had the highest CPAfor the last 4 semesters. Studies have avery high priority.

Anthemios ChapterOur chapter currently has 50 active

members, 2 pledges and we hope to bringthat up to 6 or 8 this semester. Financiallywe run on a $42,500 a year budget. Ourcurrent house bill is $615 a semester. Atthe beginning of the year, the chapter wasabout $500 or so in the hole. We're pre­dicting .' -a gain--this' year, hupefutly, of$1000 or $1800. Right now we're consid­ering the furniture fund. The only wayour furniture replacement" fund gets dona­tions is through Dad's Day, donations andHomecoming. We need new furniture sowe've decided to alocate some of the regu­lar room and board assessment to furni­ture replacement. We consider our RushProgram to be our most important one.Every member is really putting forth aspecial effort to find that new member.We've made some significant changes inthe past semester. We've also just aboutbrought our pledge manual up to date.I'd like to thank all those who sent usinformation. The. professional aspect isone thing that's kind of a thorn in ourside. We've been trying to adapt our pro­fessional activities to things that are cur­rently generating interest in the Depart­men of Architecture at the. University ofIllinois. We have a new architectural cur­riculum here now and we've been havinginformal presentations from the facultyon this. Once again this semester we'regoing to have Butterfly-our annual multi­media fine arts show-open to the wholeuniversity. Our Little Sisters Programhere is two fold. (We do not, at this time,accept women into the chapter.) Thegirls either join for social or professionalreasons. We encourage the participation ofthe girls in our professional activities andthey can hold chairmanships and take partin the regular house meetings. Academics

THE ARCHI

is another thing we hope to improve.Cleisthenes Chapter

We're a very small shapter, with 10actives, 5 pledges and 6 inactives. We'veonly been existence alittle less than 2years. We have a chapter Sweetheart anda faculty advisor who works very closewith us. Our financial operations is verysmall and we have our intake from duesand chapter dues. We have special dona­tions from people who are interested inour fraternity. We have no bills and oweno money at this time. Our professionalactivities are limited to w'eekly guestspeakers. We try to bring in big nameArchitects and faculty members, not neces­sarily architects. Our social activities areprimarily limited to parties. We're reallygoing out now to rent a house. Then wewould have a focal point from which w'ecan communicate and become closer toeach other. We've sponsored a photographcontest, the first prize $50.00, second$40.00 and third $30.00. We'll try to dothis on a semester basis. Now we're tryingto set up a Donald Bachman LiteraryFund. We'll be taking donations to buybooks in his name, put them in the archi­tectural library and publish a list of books.

Demetrios ChapterWe started out the beginning of the

year with 15 actives and 3 pledges. Ourfirst fall quarter rush netted us 13 pledgesand our last initiation left us with 23 ac­tives and 1 pledge. Rush last week broughtus 13 more pledges. So now, we have 22Actives, and 15 pledges. We have beenenjoying improved relations with theschool because we have som'e of the tippeople in all levels of design. This tendsto help make other people in the schoollook up to APX as a professional organi­zation. Another thing we've done to stressour professionalism is to design tee-shirts.Our alumni chapter is now stronger thenit ever has been in the past. We've helpedthis along by adding an alumni relationsperson to our offices, and his sole respon­sibility is to invite the alumni to variousfunctions. We put a lot of emphasis on ourarchitectural ,professionalism this pastquarter. We feel it not only makes us bet­ter students, but it does make us betterpotential professionals. I summed it upin my report by saying our success isbasically a product of intelligent rushingand sincere brotherhood and that archi­tecture is 'not an 8-5 job, it is a way oflife. Presently our chapter is financiallystable, using the income gained from in­creased membership for much neededhouse improvements. The outlook for '74' isgood. Membership has no reason to ceasefrom continuing to grow. Social activitiesthis year began with a rush party at theoffice of one of our alumni. Our most re­cent function has been another office partyfor rush. We've found that ,these combinedrush/social/professional functions are the

Spring 1,974

most effective. We share the feeling withAnthemios that rush is the most importantfunction in the Fraternity.

Metagenes ChapterMetagenes has been pretty active this

year. We've been in a stable financialposition for almost a year now In spite ofour small Brotherhood, 15 actives and· 3pledges, we've been doing quite a bit. Thisfall we had some of our regular activitiessuch as our student/faculty night, a Hal­loween Party and a combo party. InNovember, VPI hosted the South EasternRegional Association of Collegiate Schoolsof Architecture Conference and APXplayed a major part in this. We organizedthe student housing and a student party.We're planning to have some faculty pre­sentation at the house this quarter. Westarted in the intramural basketball tourna­men for the first time in 2 years. OurFounder's Day should be really terrificthis year. With the help of Edd Rhodes,Metagenes was able to help the school ofarchitecture secure Dr. R. BuckminsterFuller to speak. We're pleased to announcethat one of our Brothers was initiated intoTau Sigma Delt, honorary ArchitecturalFraternity. Our big problem is gettingpledges and if anyone could help us, wewould sure welcome it.

Mnesicles ChapterWe're a small chapter of 12 active mem­

bers and 2 -pledges', but we have strongalumni. What we're doing right now istrying to find a new way to run a frater­nity that will be more in line with what'saround us now. We're small but I'm stilloptimistic. We've had several tours aroundthe city, some just talking to people.

Xenocles ChapterSix years ago our chapter was initiated

by Anthemios. Over the past semesterwe've lost 4 officers - the Worthy Clerk,2 WAA's and a Worthy Architect - be­cause of over load in school, work andpersonal reasons. This September andOctober, our rush just fell flat on its face.We were lucky enough to have 3 energeticfreshman search us out. Our house hasbeen and is in constant renovation. Everyyear we sponsor Poly-Town or PlasticCity. It will be held in March this year.It's a competition and a camp-out com­bined. We find an isolated spot and everyone is sold 100-400 feet of polyethyleneplastic and makes his own structure. Onthe national level, we're trying to repayour debt slowly but surely. We've got 10people who've said that they want topledge and 5 out of those want to live inthe house. We think we can see the light.Whether its the shining light of knowledgeor just the front porch, we're not sure yet.

Anthemios AlumniI would like to report on the results of

our work in the Chicago area last year.We had three meetings in downtown Chi­cago and each one improved somewhat.

The grads under 50 years of age were themost interested. However, we're fortunateto have John Geiger, Vice President ofAnthemios Alumni, and he is going towork on the grads over 50.

Review of Office of WGAN ow we'll proceed with the main pur­

pose for conducting this meeting, as putforth by the last convention. It was pro­posed that a year after the convention ameeting would be held to review the of­fice of the WGA and the method in whichI ~m conducting that office. I now openthe floor to any discussion, comnlents, re­marks or criticism.

George Whitten: I would just like tocomment the Grand Council for havingthis meeting and the work that has beendone since you, Brother Rhodes and Broth­er Mosher have been in office. Thank youa lot.

Bob DeHaven: I would like to secondtha t. Since the Grand Council has beengenerating interest in the chapters, \vehave established a closer relationship withseveral of the chapters and the GrandCouncil itself is setting an example forthe Chapters themselves, to realize thatthey are a part of a national organization.

Rick Brighton: One thing I really likeis that you're exhibiting hustle we haven'tseen in a long time. Another thing I likethe initiative and ambition of going outand getting chapters instead of waiting forthem to come looking for us.

Ronnie Grogan: One of the big prob­lems at the last convention was knowingactually who the National was. Now wecan at least see who they are.

Bob DeHaven: Since the last convention,its been like a realization that there is anational all over again. It's good to feelour place with the national Grand Council.

Lee Dunnette: What is your opinion ofthe future of the Fraternity as an organiza­tion?

Edd Rhodes: I think that one alwayshas to look at that with a very positiveoutlook. I think its up to each of theindividual chapters. and their own driveand own initiative and what they showin both their professional and social atti­tude that will make this thing work andmake it go. We, hopefully, at the top willprovide the initiative to help to make yougo. We can't do it all alone. We all de­pend on each other and that dependencewill make us grow and make us go.

Rick Vunck: We're a little bit morelike a local fraternity until, well, I thinkour nati<;>nal awareness is beginning togrow. I'd just like to say thank you!

Chuck Mosher: The national is everyone of the chapters, right in conjunctionwith these three people. So the Nationalis not just us, it's you!Revising of Constitution and By-LawsThe Convention, this year will be held

on October 25th and 26th, here at Anthc-

THE ARCHI

mios. We felt it would be easier all aroundat this time of the year. It will also bethe 60th Anniversary of Alpha Rho Chi.I think the theme of this Convention willbe to get the Constitution and By-Lawsupdated. They haven't been updated since1956, almost 20 years. There've been sev­eral changes, however, they were neverratified. They were voted on and ap­proved by conventions but never sent tothe chapters for their vote. Only after %yea from 1~ of the chapters, can a changebe made. Under each section there is theproposed change (if there is one) and aplace for suggested changes. Have yourchapter vote on the proposed changes andsend me your decision on each one. If youhave a suggested change, forward all ofthem to me so we can put together a tabu­la ted list of suggested -changes to send backout prior to the convention so everyonecan revie\v them. Then when we come tothe convention we'll all be aware of thesesuggested changes. Hopefully, we'll beable to have a new Constitution and By­Laws by January 1975.

Ronnie Grogan: Do you want the pro­posed changes sent to the Grand Council?

Edd Rhodes : Yes. Send them to thenational office.

Chuck Elliott: When do you want these?Chuck Mosher: Why don't we establish

March 15 as the deadline date for proposedchanges to be voted upon.

Dick 1tlurray: These revisions to theConstitutions were presented and acceptedby the convention assembled. Thesechanges are the Brothers of the past speak­ing to you. You have to decide if theyare relevant today or not.

Edd Rhodes: On suggested changes, youshould have those in prior to you finishingschool.

Ronnie Grogan: Would it be possible ifsometime this summer we could set up awork shop with the WA's who could findtheir way to Oregon and do what wecould do to help with the national office?

Edd Rhodes: Yes, just give us a callwhen you are coming.

The up-coming Convention Agenda "vasdiscussed in a tentative form. Any sugges­tions for that should be sent to the nationaloffice.

Chuck Mosher: I would like to see thenational office try to get a list of the LifeMembers and have it published in the nextArchi.

Ronnie Grogan: What is the status ofthe RISE?

Chuck 110sher: The last time I talkedto Howard, he was putting that together.

There being no further business, themeeting was adjourned at 5 :45 p.m.

NOTE: A copy of the complete, ver­batum transcript of this meeting is on fileat the national office.

RICKER INFLUENCEIS BEYOND MEASURE

Contribution of Dr. Ricker To TheEstablishment of A P X

Partly Told.

While Dr. Nathan Clifford Ricl~er didnot. exactly guide the organization stepsof Alpha Rho Chi, it was the influenceof his life together with titnely advise,given in conference with the nlen whoplayed their part in the nationalizationten years ago, which can never bel~lrasnred.

I n a large degree Dr. Ricker's path .oflife was the path of brotherhood andfra:ternalistn. As he journeyed down thehighway of life he always showed con­sideration for those about hin1. In hisassociations he has been described as anlan to lllal1 sort of Individual who couldnot only sytnpathize but also inspirethose with whonl he canle in contact.

During the course of his life he was"Brother" Ricker to rriany men. In thelarger sphere of activity he was a mem­h::r of the Masonic order and theT(n:~~hts Telnplar. In the collegiate,vorld he was first of all a charter mem­hAr of Illinois chapter of the Acaciafraternity bf'fore beCOllling identified\vith Alpha Rho Chi.

Advisor of Old ArcusIt was \vith a background of brother­

hood and f('l1o",~sl~ip, \vhich' t1lade him;l. n unl1st1all~/ valnahlc friend to the pro­jected Alpha Rho Chi of tcn years ago.Out of the exper'lence of his associationshe was' acquainted' with fraternity prob­lems ~nd their solutions.

As faculty advisor of Arcu's, the Illi­nois local architectural fraternity whichbecame Anthemios chapter-of Alpha RhoCh.i, Dr. Ricker :yvas a constant sourceof information for the fellows whohelped to work out the details of unionand organization with Sigma Upsiloninto A P X.

Brothers C. C. Cohagen, Iktinos, andLeo M. 'Bauer, Anthemios, the two ~enupon whotn much of the actuaJ'worklngont of the details of organization fell,both emphasize the debt we of ~lphaRho Chi owe to the late Brother RIcker.

Not only do the'youngermen of AlphaRho Chi bear tribute to their elderbrother .but also the faculty men who,vorked with him honor his memory.Not a great while before his death, inspeakin~ of him, Prof. Rexford New­comb described him as "A true pioneerin architectural education in America, aprofound scholar, a sympath~tic and. in­spiring teacher, a gentleman In the hIgh­est sense."

THE RICKER BUSTThe bust was modelled by Bro. Sanl­

nel C. Burton of the lJniversity of 1\1in­nesota, fornlerly a professor at Illinois.Abont t\VO years ago the idea \vas grad­ually formed of presenting the U niver­sIty of Illinois, tllOre directly, the De­parttllent of A rchitecture, with a bronzercplica of the bnst \vhich had been exe­Cl1tcd ahout five years before.

'rhe occasion selected to make this

presentation was the convocation which\vas held on l\,farch 15, 1922, the daythat 1)r. R.icker cOlnpleted fifty years ofprofessional ser\-ice to the university.The brcn/.e bust now stands in a prom­inent place in the Ricker Library ofArchitectt1r~, \vhile the original is in theAnthelllios chapter house. 'rhe latterbust has reccntly been placed upon apern1anent pedestal very similar to theone in the Library.

A.t the sall1.e titHe that the presentationtook place the Ricker Prize in Archi­tectural Hi~tory \vas formally announcedby Anthelnios chapter. This prize isopen to Juniors in .A.rchitecture andA rchitectural Engineering for the besttreatlllent of sonle phase of history 01architecture. 'rhere are three prizes,each consisting of \vell-known books on,architecture. Dr. Ricker taught archi-!tcc-tnral history at Illi\nois for over fiftyyears, and the prize is essentially atll2illorial to him.
