Wisdom, Strength And Beauty.
A very good instance of added ornament , raising what was previously a barrack to the level of architecture , is what is known as the Writer ' s Buildings in Calcutta ; these were formerly of the usual government workhouse stamp of architecture , and were a distinct blot upon the beauty of Dalhousie Square , particularly as they stood next to that really fine attempt at Palladian Art , the
Post Office ; the anomaly even melted the hearts of stern government servants , and gave them longings for something more aesthetic , with the result that a new facade was added to the old structure , which , though not of surpassing beauty , is yet architecture as opposed to the old constructive appearance of the building . From this then we may deduce that it is the task of
the craftsman to work the stone and other materials , and to heap them together speedily and to obtain the desired effort by doing so . The constructive agent , or as we should now term him the civil engineer , uses bis materials in such a manner as to be economical and yet effective . Strength and mass are obtained by a slight over-proportion of the engineer ' s calculations and bv the
selection of Jjoth strong and costly materials . But where these leave off , the true architect , the maker of Beauty steps in . The materials selected are now arranged not so much with a view to the economical as to the artistic effect ; light and shade are now employed to produce a form which in itself will be of permanent beauty . Then the ornament is added to accentuate the effect
already gained and the work is complete . Thus the harmonious working of the three great Master Masons is an absolute necessity to true architectural effect . The one cannot work without the other , and this I have endeavoured to show by quoting examples of buildings generally known to most readers . Though this is in
no way a scientific explanation of tbe three columns , yet it embodies , I trust , a very practical view of the functions of the three Master Masons , which accords not inaptly with the words , Wisdom , Strength and Beauty . —Frank Stephens , in " Indian Masonic Keview . ' '
