Charles Eliot, landscape architect : a lover of nature and of his kind, who trained himself for a new profession, practised it happily and through it wrought much good . aced offices anddressing-rooms just where they would conceal from visitorsarriving at the plaza the long sweep of the open beach, whichis the finest thing about the reservation. (3) It placed thenecessarily ugly yards of dressing-rooms where they would bemost conspicuous in all views from the further parts of thebeach, and from the driveway at the top of the beach. To correct these imperfections of the first scheme, anotherplan was devised. In this plan the administration officeswere brought together in the middle, the yards of dressing-rooms were attached on either hand, and terraces for the useof the general public were added at the ends. Thus theadministration was concentrated, the general public was pro-vided with good view points, and the dressing-rooms wereconcealed behind the partly double-decked terraces. The second plan was a great improvement on the first, butagain we found it subject to grave fundamental was it that the metropolitan district sought to secure.
