ITS ORIGIN
One of the young architects who delivers a lecture on modern architecture -in the series of free public school lectures had just shown his audience the beauties of the Cologne Cathedrl the other night, when he thought of an experience he once had on a similar occasion.* *It was at the conclusion of my, lecture,' he told his audience that a woman came to .me; explained, that she too was a student of architecture and thanked me for enlightening
her on one point that she had never been able to understand before. "I've always wondered," she said to me,. "' where the colonial style of architecture came from. New, of course, I see that it comes from Cologne." ' What did you tell her ? ' asked some one in the audience.
' I told her,' replied the speaker, ' that if my lecture - had made that clear to her I felt very much gratified.'
