suspended entrance staircase, a huge dining hall mural spewing skim milk from trompe I'ocil spouts), all of it was criminated in the budget trimming which also deprived the student rooms of carpeting and closet doors. Noise pollution, too, is a problem: there is no division between bedrooms in the doubles, and it has been suggested that at Mather, the sound of one hand clapping in the Dining Hall can be heard in the Junior Common Room...
...Weimar in 1919. To separate any Bauhaus exhibit into class divisions is misleading since a primary doctrine was to unite the crafts with the fine arts and to fuse these two into a third and ultimate structure-the building. Thus resulted buildings like Harvard's Harkness Commons with a mural of colored tile by Herbert Bayer, a brick relief by Josef Albers, the textiles by his wife Anni Albers, and the architecture by Gropius...
...Henry Varnum Poor, 82, muralist, ceramist, painter, architect and art teacher; of a heart attack; in New City, N.Y. Known first for his pottery, Poor in the mid-1930s took his brush to Washington, D.C., where he executed twelve panels for the Department of Justice building and a heroic mural entitled Conservation of American Wildlife for the Department of the Interior building.

Some, like the year-old Royal Inn-at-the-Wharf in the company's headquarters town, San Diego, have a gymnasium. The Royal...
Mather has no artwork, either. Although Carlhain designed some genuinely imaginative art for the House (an enormous clock to fit inside the library's circular staircase, a huge dining hall mural spewing skim milk from trompe l' oeil spouts), all of it was eliminated in the budget trimming which also deprived the student rooms of carpeting and closet doors. Noise pollution, too, is a problem: there is no division between bedrooms in the doubles, and it has been suggested that at Mather, the sound of one hand clapping in the Dining Hall can be heard in the Junior Common Room...
