THE EXHIBITION at the Detroit Institute of Arts will survey this torrent of work and show how his tradition is still invigorating the Detroit- based company now owned by 30 architect-engineer partners headed by Sol King. The Committee on Science and the Arts of the Institute also noted that none of Kahn's discoveries was ever patented. They were placed at the dis- Curator of Architecture at the Art Institute, and another by Walter B. Sunders, Professor or Architecture at the University of Michigan.

They were practical and generous. He was imaginative, finding the new solutions demanded by automobiles, airplanes, and swelling populations.

A SENSITIVE man, deeply affectionate toward family and colleagues, he befriended all the arts of the burgeoning Motor City. He helped found the Art School of the Society of Arts and Crafts and served as a member of the Arts Commission guiding the Detroit Institute of Arts for 23 years. He donated precious paintings to the museum, and counseled his friend, Paul P. Cret, who designed the Art Institute's main building in 1927. In the 75 years of his work and of the firm he left behind, six continents have seen major Kuhn-inspired buildings.

Most of the world has heard of F'ord's huge River Rouge complex, which became the model for new industry and the total factory concept; the stupendous tractor factory of Stalingrad that inaugurated Russia's Five Year Plans; the 62-acre Willow Run, where B-24 bombers were produced "like cookies;" and the Glenn Martin factory in Baltimore designed, completed and turned over for wartime production in 11 weeks. It was estimated that he was the architect of two billion dol 1 lie man who tliil more than any other architect of our time to change the face of Detroit and a large part of the rest of the world is being honored in a major exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts, now through Sunday, Nov. 1. Twenty-eight years after his death, the brilliant career of architec t-engineer Albert Kahn, often called the father of industrial architecture, will be surveyed in a five-gallery display of oversize photographs, plans and models entitled "The Legacy of Albert Kahn: 1860-1942." The museum event also will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Albert Kahn Associates, the firm he founded. Issuance of a definitive catalogue of the great man's work will further mark the exhibition.

WHEN KAHN died on Dec. 8, 1942, at the age of 73, a little more than a year after Pearl Harbor and the U. S. entry into World War II, his career had already been recognized as one of the most innovative and productive in modern industrial architecture. The popular "Reader's Digest" called him "Architect of the Colossal." The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia recognized him as an architectural pioneer in awarding him its prestigious gold medal.

And the American Institute of Architecture presented him with two gold medals in his lifetime. Detroit, as the adopted city of the 12-year-old immigrant boy who came from Germany in 1881, provided him friendship, patronage and then clients who, themselves, were among the country's most prominent creators of the new American industrial doctorate of fine arts from the U-M in 1951. Plans for an exhibit of her work began more than a year ago, with support from the centennial committee, the U-M Alumni Association, the Museum of Art and Life magazine. Stuart G. Abbey, who heads the University's Photo Services, went to see Miss Bourke-White at her home in Connecticut last spring.

Abbey spent two days talking with her about the photographs she would like to have exhibited. "She is a remarkable lady," said Abbey, "and discussing her career as a photographic journalist was an adventure." Abbey, working with Art Museum director, Professor Charles H. Sawyer, is arranging the exhibit for the museum's South Gallery from Oct. 7 through Nov. 15.

ANN ARBOR Photographs taken by the cele-b a Margaret Bourke-White, a University of Michigan alumna, will be exhibited at the U-M Art Museum next month. The 100-150 photographs by Miss Bourke-White, most of them taken for Life magazine, range over the Depression period, through World War II, the post-war period and the Korean War. The exhibit is part of the University's year-long celebration of the Centennial of Women at Michigan. Miss Madelon Stockwell of Kalamazoo, who enrolled in 1870 as a sophomore, was the first woman admitted to the University. Miss Bourke-White attended the University from 1922-24.
