Exhibit :
The exhibit, which will include blueprints, sketches, manuscript and archival material, and photographs, will document Burnham's relationship with the University a few blocks from his Evanston home. Burnham received his first honorary degree here (1895), and his firm submitted proposals for a number of buildings, including Fisk Hall, which opened in 1899. A focal point of the exhibit will be Burnham's comprehensive Campus Plan (1905). While the Plan of Northwestern was never implemented, Burnham's drawing reflects many of the features found in his other large-scale projects.
Opens July 1 in the Northwestern University Library, Evanston campus.
