Such freedom is alloyed with year-end examinations that are graded "distinction," "pass" or "fail." Those who flunk can design their own remedial program and try again, but Hampshire intends to expel students who fail to make academic progress.

From Russian stage design followed the Bauhausler Oskar Schlemmer, and from Tatlin's chess table and Rodchenko's functional chairs came Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair and Breuer's armchairs. Of course many of these developments ran parallel, and which derived from which is more a question of interaction than origination, such as Mies van der Rohe's model for a Monument to the Third International...
