Contributions have already been made by Winthrop Ames '95, Thomas Lamont '92, and Mrs. Eugene Meyer; work on the project will begin as soon as more funds are available. A. R. Lovejoy, director of the School of the Drama, and A. P. Segal have drawn plans for a curtainless fore stage and removable seating sections which can be taken out of the main hall when it is necessary for the Naval Science Students to utilize the building for purposes of drill. Aside from the construction in the main hall the remaining space in the building will be remodeled with permanent...

Federal public works were admittedly only a "drop in the bucket" of U. S. construction. For psychological purposes though, the White House kept them to the fore as an example to states & cities.

Thebaud was designed by Frank Paine...
...William Jennings Bryan, et al. styled themselves Fundamentalists and launched an attack to drive from the church all who did not subscribe literally to a few "fundamentals" such as Virgin Birth of Christ. Astute, they concentrated on Dr. Fosdick, since he was a Baptist and since, there- fore, they might win a victory by ousting him from a Presbyterian pulpit without actually having a "heresy" trial in which they were by no means sure of even legalistic success. This made Dr. Fosdick the spokesman of non-Literalist Christianity. Upon him devolved the duty of presenting a "reasonable" Christianity which...
