Lloyd Warren

The career of Lloyd Warren was interesting and unusual. Trained as an architect and for a time in active practice of his art, he withdrew from business twenty years ago, with the purpose of devoting his experience and his money to the education in architecture of boys with talent but without the means to secure the necessary training. For pupils of this sort he established first an atelier with ten students, from which eventually he developed a system whereby the work of architectural students in threescore universities and studios, or in no school of instruction but their own experiment, might have their work submitted for criticism and advice to the most eminent architects of the country. Having got this institution successfully under way, he organized the School of Sculpture, Painting and Interior Decoration with the same scope of purpose. The results have been remarkable; the dream of the organizer will get its complete fulfilment as the new generation of architects shows the fruits of this liberal education.
