...with all monies he ever required for livelihood and experiment. Dr. Einstein's "salary" will be all he ever wants. He will be provided a home at Princeton, will work (beginning next autumn) only from Oct. 1 to April 15 for the rest of his active life; will teach only what, when, if and as he pleases; will spend his summers sailing his little boat on Berlin's Wannsee.

The school would be across the valley from "Taliesin," his studio-estate in the dairy country near Spring Green, Wis. He would be the chief faculty member, teaching male and female pupils his basic architectural law: that the architect must integrate his building with its surroundings (function, terrain, climate), make plain its structural elements and if possible develop them as ornamentation. He would teach them the feel of materials by having them blast stone, hew timber, dig soil, work...
