...very great evidence, to be sure, but with much conviction I will argue that the American policy--the experience as well as the sense of community and shared conviction--has been impaired, has atrophied in our time because of the retreat from architecture and public buildings as a conscious element of public policy and a purposeful instrument for the expression of public purposes...
...administration's proposed disciplinary action on the other. After all, there was neither physical violence nor property desruction. A man was detained in his room for several hours (where presumably he would have remained for the better part of the day anyway, had he been interviewing job applicants), in conscious, communal violation of University regulations.
