In the present scbool Dr. Gropius' method of close co- operation between art, science and technique is the basic plan. Now professor of architecture at Har- vard, Dr. Gropius is advisor of the present sc1hô1. lHe is flot only a painter of international fame but has worked with industrial firme in glass, metal, textiles and wood, and is equally skilled in photography and in the films.
