...artistic withdrawal syndrome, a turning away from the calamitous Depression that the social realism of the 1930s pitilessly explored, and from the war that followed.

So far he has finished the $3,500,000 Kline Geology Laboratory, a medieval keep whose slit windows admit daylight willy-nilly-and which one Yale Corporation member dryly describes as "solid as rock and functional as an electric log." Its fortresslike appearance will be repeated in a 13-story tower for the Kline biology quarters...
