Architect Carlu is now head professor of architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but the Carlus live and practice in Manhattan. Their home is her studio, and more homelike than studious. But there was nothing amateur about the pictures she exhibited last week.

Or perhaps she is, as has been suggested above, the happy combination of the qualities of students at the three other leading feminine colleges of the north...
