Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Architectural Annual, 1900, Vol. 1: Published Under the Auspices of the Architectural League of America Architects give their time and money to their work as do the members of no other profession, while the appreciation of such efforts is entirely disproportionate. Some few boldly assert them selves and are well paid. It is to such men that we must look for the maintenance of the pro fession's standards. Unless conscienceless archi teets can be brought to see that by cutting rates and preparing free preliminary sketches they are both standing in their own light and casting a shadow over the entire profession, little further can be expected in original design. The natural outcome must be either strengthened opposition by honest architects or superficial work by dis honest ones.
