Finalist

David Horne was studying at MIT and received special permission from his faculty advisors to use his submission to the City Hall Competition as a class problem.

If he was chosen as a finalist, then the second stage submission would become his thesis. He was chosen, and earned his degree on that basis.

The David E. Horne fonds is held at the City of Toronto Archives.
