Architecture Traveling Fellowship

Applications for the Nelson Robinson, Jr., Traveling Fellowship in Architecture for 1907-08 must be filed with Professor W. M. Davis, chairman of the committee on fellowships and other aids for graduate students, before March 1. This fellowship, with a stipend of one thousand dollars, was established in 1902 from the income of the Nelson Robinson, Jr., fund. It is open to bachelors of science in architecture from Harvard University, who have taken the degree with distinction or who have completed with distinction a year of graduate study in architecture in the University. The holder of the fellowship must not be more than twenty-six years old at the time of his appointment. The selection among those admitted to candidacy will be determined from the results of competitive examinations in the history of architecture and design to be held in Cambridge in April.

The candidate who received the fellowship will be required to spend at least one year in travel and study in Europe under the general direction of the Professor of Architecture. He will also be required to submit monthly reports of his progress and to send at the end of each half-year a measured drawing of some monument of architecture approved by the Department. He will also be required to make during his stay in Europe a special study of a single building or group of buildings, and on his return must present a written essay illustrated by drawings embodying the results of this study.

The award will be made on the nomination of the Department of Architecture, acting in co-operation with a committee of practicing architects invited, with the approval of the President, to assist in the award
