*"Traditions--II," Virginia Commonwealth University's 18th Annual 
Symposium on Architectural History and the Decorative Arts*

The conference, directed by Professor Charles Brownell, will have four 
sessions.  They will deal with the story of the Ionic Order from the 
ancient Mediterranean world through the Colonial Revival in Richmond's 
Fan District;  Jefferson's transformation of Virginia architecture;  the 
Classical country house in the Chesapeake region;  and the early 
twentieth-century renewal of Classicism from the Jamestown Tercentennial 
Exposition through the original building of the Virginia Museum of Fine 
Arts.  The Center for Palladian Studies in America and a dozen other 
cultural institutions join in sponsoring the Symposium.

Admission is free to students, $8.00 per person for members of 
sponsoring institutions, and $10.00 per person for others.  Reservations 
are necessary for a post-conference reception, at an additional charge 
of $15.00.
