Whatever the critics might say, Director Daniel Catton Rich was convinced that he was showing not the dead hand of the past but the shining face of the future. Only ten years ago, documentary "American School" painting of barnyards, brick cityscapes and beautiful vacation views had been the style. Now, Institute scouts, back from a 24,000-mile trip around the U.S., had convinced Rich that abstractionism is "the prevailing mode for most artists under thirty...

This sum did not completely cover construction cost, and it was necessary for the College to petition the Massachusetts General Court for the right to use brick from an Indian college that had fallen into decay. This right was granted, but only after the College agreed that Indians coming to study would be domiciled free of charge in the structure.
