MENTIONS:

•In an editorial by Thomas Shields Clark 1882 in December 9, 1908 Princeton Alumni Weekly, he wrote of Mr. Ralph Adams Cram:

"Cram's plan was, for the most part, very well-received by the alumni. His open spaces and university plan sat well with most donors. In fact, some alumni wanted even more. Thomas Shields Clarke, class of 1882 wrote a response letter in the same issue, saying that things should be bigger: "Mr. Cram is a clever and an eloquent architect and the big lines of his plan are excellent, but I protest the plan should be bigger " (emphasis his). Clark wanted the campus to extend beyond Washington Road or Nassau Street so that students would have even more room to breathe and to be active on their campus. This editorial of Clarke's is but a small indicator of the popularity of Cram's cohesive and balanced, yet spacious plan for the future development of the University." -From "Ralph Adams Cram The Man, His Work, and His Legacy at Princeton University," by Stephen Warneck, ART409, January 10, 1995
