...pair of oak doors. He knocked loudly on the doors three times and a squeaky little voice was heard coming from the inside. Soon the doors opened and a face, under a little red cap, thrust itself between them. This was the face of famed Architect Ralph Adams Cram. The doors were those of the new, huge, Gothic Chapel designed by Architect Cram and built at a cost of $2,000,000, for Princeton students to worship in. The chapel, larger than all other college chapels except that at King's College,* Cambridge, was being dedicated last week with...

Those who supposed that Architect Cram, when he spoke of "the higher level," was referring to the silver splinters of sky scrapers in Manhattan and elsewhere, were soon disabused. Architect Cram, apostle of the gothic, has only an academic interest in these astonishing and often beautiful towers. He disapproved of them on principle but said that he "would like to try to build one." Himself a great builder of churches, he referred to U. S. religious monuments...
