fi0RMSw CARICATURE
OF PRESroENT WILSON
domic I?ortvoyal in Mnrblo Said
lo Represent Hint Holding
, . HUett&'p Head in Hia
V' Hands
fcRANK OP AN UNKNOWN
The University of Pennsylvania has lm.
foortattted In mnrblo ft comic portrayal of
Woodrow Wilson and set the life-size
Ima-jft of the President's countenance upon
one of Its buildings, Alonfrsldn of the "Wil
son head Is the heart Of Huerta cut oft
and clutched In the hands of the grinning
President
Wilson and ItUertn nfo among tho
"gargoyles" that line the -walls of tho dor
mitorles, though not half a dozen persons
connected with the University know It.
Of course1 It wasn't the official Intention
of Provost Smith and the others In au
thority at Penn to hold up to ridicule the
former President of the neighboring (and
rival) Institution at Princeton. It was a
young architect's Joke and not the .In
tention of the University, but nevertheless.
say some Penn ntumnl. It Is the University
that, Is put In the portion of poking pub
lics fun at the President, nnrt tho young
architect's name will probably never come
out. lie may be In Toklo by this time,
telling over the rice wlno, of tho trick he
played on Old Penn.
Not the most happy phase of this par
ticular trick to tho minds of Penn "grnds"
is that- It presents a political opinion,
like a cartoon and precisely tho opinion
whlCjh, patriot lo Americans In tho future
will object to. For, they say, tho Proal.
dent went Into Mexico to avengo an Insult
tolour flag nnd not "to get Itucrta's
head." Dut In a most graphic manner
this bit of cartoon In stono teaches that
Wllsori took Vera Crus Just to oust
Huerta; In other words, that ho con
ducted a most hypocritical procedure,
which Is the very thing his enemies ac
cuse him of having done. Whether his
tory exonerates him or not, It Is a suro
thing 'that Penn never will unless they
chisel off that gargoyle. So, at least
say the "old boys" of the lied nnd Blue.
The firm of architects that built the
dormitories denies it nil, but tho pro
fessors of tho 'School of-Architecture don't
deny It. They think it's a good Joke. It
.being legitimate. In tho good old tradition
or gargoyle-making to play pranks in
these fantastlo decorations.
The ones in tho dormitories are not,
strictly speaking, "gargoyles"; they nro
really "grotesques." A gargoylo Is tho
decorative figure at the end of n rain
pout; tho grotesques, or chimeras, that
are so Interesting and mysterious an ex
pression of medieval architecture, aro
decorations of a similar nature not con
nected with rain spouts.
Why these grotesques snomd havo been
rhade often to look like the evil oho him
self, though used to embellish cathedrals,
Is a question that dips Into theology; some
think they wero put thero to make fun
f the devil nnd expose his ugly features
to public contempt. But architects hate
to admit that religion had anything to do
with tho building of cathedrals.
They like to think that cathedrals were
purely of architects., by' architects nnd
for architects, and that if thero never, had
been such a thing as a Christian 'religion,
there would still have been cathedrals
built just to decorato cities. ' As a matter
of fact, they are probably right In think
ing the designing of grotesques wan loft
entirely to tho decorative fancy of the
sculptors who happened to be engaged
In the various parts of tho decoration.
Now, these young men combined busl
ness and pleasure, sometimes by making
tho apes and quaint visages of monks,
scholars, clowns, etc.. In their grotesque
resemble persons quite well known In tho
-neighborhood, perhaps the bishop himself,
if they wero daring und subtle, enough In
caricature, or perhaps only the master
architect. So It is right In tho tradition
.of the art that one of the Innumerable
grotesques ot the dorms shall bo a sly
caricature of Mr. Wilson.
Now for tho categoric denial of Mr.
Stewardson. of Stewardson & Tage, de
signers ot tho dormitories.
"I designed the building in question
myself," ho said. 'There was no Inten
tion of making tho decoration resemble
Wilson or Huerta. Aa a matter of fact,
the faces do riot resemble those men. Tho
Idea that wo tried vto caricature the
President Is nmusing, but absolutely with
out foundation."
After that dental there is no use In
pointing to the fact that tho leering gar
goyle Is the living, breathing Image of
the President. Nor In pointing to the
fact that the head has a scholar's mortar
board cap and tassel of the modern type,
unlike the medieval cowl usually seen in

JOKE ON THE UNIVERSITY
It tins: been discovered that theso
Knrpoyle heads on tho University
of Pennsylvania dormitories bear
n remarkable resemblance to tho
features of President Wilson and
of tho late Goncral Huerta, of
Mexicov whoso head is beinj? car
ricd in tho former's hands. Front
and sido views nro shown hero
with.
grotesques of similar design. Nor In not
ing tho square spectacles on Huerta, as
contrasted with tho round eyeglasses on
Wilson.
Nor in recalling that tho decoration was
put up In the summer following tho taking
of Vera Cruz. Nor In comparing It with
tho nearby grotesques of African big
gnme, showing that tho designer took
the Roosevelt expedition as his themo In
making thoso grotesques throo or four
years earlier. Thero Is no uso pointing
to this evidence, becnuso tho deslgnor
ought to know, nnd so the wholo thing
is roduced to tho status of "a mcro coin
cidence." Still, the man who designs a building
almost always has young architects help
with details, nnd It Is Just barely posstblo
that a young assistant of the firm played
tho trick. Judgo for yourself by strolling
in through the main ent-noo of tho dor
mitories, 37th street am., Woodland ave
nue, turning to tho left then down tho
steps and over to tho little tower over In
tho far corner. Thero at tho archway
marked "1911" you can see tho crotesquo
