With a surprised "Oh, no," and a lusty "Gosh awful," Patriarchitect Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, summering at his home and workshop in Spring Green, Wis., recoiled from photos of a ten-story addition to Tokyo's Wright-designed Imperial Hotel, said the annex' streamlined "International Style" was "neither international nor style."

Thirty-five years of little association with the Annex seems to have improved Harvard-Radcliffe relations, because by November, 1936, members of Pierian were willing to assist the young Radcliffe Orchestra in some of its bigger concerts. But the Radcliffe Orchestra did not suffer from the lack of Pierian assistance in its separate concerts.
