...living," Frank Lloyd Wright's statement that in ideal architecture "form and function are one." Lately, to his great surprise, indefatigable Albert Kahn has discovered that the industrial buildings he has been designing all these years are "modern architecture." To show how essentially modern they are, in logic, economy, and use of steel and glass, THE ARCHITECTURAL FORUM this week devotes its August issue to Architect Kahn...

Courses 9 and 10, on Metaphysics and the Theory of Knowledge respectively, are both considered "good and important," 8 and 8a are recommended to Seniors only, both being in Logic.
