rebirth to which we give the name romanesque held sway for 180 years when in the middle of the 12th century it was superseded by tho architecture which we call gothic gothic architecture did not spring up liko a mushroom like all manifestations of art it was the logical fulfillment of its predecessor the first problem of these 12th century builders was how to protect their churches by masonry vaulting without sacrificing amplitude or lighting out of their trials to solve that problem emerged a new principle of construc tion and gothic architecture was then burn by means of diagonal-crossing ribs the vertical and lateral thrusts of tile stone roof were collected at fixed points which points alone had to be counterbutted thick walls wee a necessity in a romanesque edifice if it were to bo stable but in a gothic building the walls could be made a mere shell since all the work was done by an active skeleton a bone structure of stone consisting of piers arches and buttresses dr park illustrated his talk with lantern slides and pointed out the characteristic beauties of the different cathedrals throughout france bison head stage dance in honor of grid men
