One of the distinguished, but pessimistic, architects in Mr. Arnold Bennett's latest novel, "The Koll Call," complains that architecture is the Cinderella of the professions. By the time that work reaches its third or fourth sequel the reproach will no longer be possible, the Royal Academy having just,elected sir Aston Webb as its president in succession to Sir Edward Poyntor. This is the first time that the academy has had an architectural president properly appointed James Wyatt's brief ad interim tenure of'the office moro than a hundred years ago having been more or less informal. The election is a timely recognition of the Browing importance of architecture and of the remarkable artistic progress it has made of lato years.
