This assault on a conventional ideal of the press is not such blasphemy as it might appear, for objectivity always has, is now, and ever will be a myth. Viewed narrowly, of course, nothing could be more accurate than a mere record of what was done at a particular time, but this is mere playing with words.

Although this probably was not true and Gropius never had the opportunity to model the courses into what he would consider an ideal framework, he doss believe a school should draw its interpretation of the future from...
