Gropius Speaks

Walter Gropius, professor of Architecture, and one of the designers of the new Graduate Student Center, urged American colleges to stop "reviving revivals" in designs of their new campus buildings last night. He was speaking before the Harvard Engineering Society's dinner meeting at the Harvard Club.

He declared that "so long as we do not ask the college students to go about in period clothes, it seems absurd to build college buildings in pseudo-period design."
