Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Art of House-Planning The following pages embody a portion of the notes used with my classes in the Cornell University, and were originally printed in the pages of building. Their reception seemed to indicate that they had encouraged the cultivation of a field left practically untouched, as to detail, since, a generation ago, Professor Kerr put forth his most excellent work, The Gentleman's House. It is hoped that, in this more permanent form, they may stimulate a younger generation of archi teets to embody in their work the principles of good planning. Only the simplest elements of this are, however, here set forth, for it has been thought best not to extend the investigation further at present, since a larger book would have defeated its own purpose.
