This cour­ tesy generally is proffered regardless of what the overall theme of that particu­ lar issue happens to be. From my own perspective, however, "Art and Archi­ tecture" as a theme for this issue is particularly pertinent and appropriate to what I have to say. For one, I always have been an advocate of the arts in general and have subscribed to the view that art and architecture are perfectly compatible, if not one in the same. So this will serve as an endorsement of the subject's significance as the focus of this issue. Secondly, the theme of "Art and Architecture" tracks very well with the theme I have proposed for our activities within the Society this year-"Texas: the Quality Life." Art, whether in general or in the context of architecture, is a source of enrichment, a means of transcending the minimal, the mundane, the mediocre. It is a major aspect of what we envision as the quality life. As a professional organization, and as individual architects, we are also interested in finding other ways to enrich the lives of Texans, to help maintain and improve the quality of life in our state. One obvious way is to strive for quality in the practice of architecture. Ours is a time in which mediocrity has somehow been elevated to a level of acceptability. It would behoove us as a profession, and our clients as well, to insist on quality and only the highest standards of professional competence. To that end, TSA will be providing for its members this year many opportunities for professional development and, on a trial basis, will be offering seminars for clients who want to learn how best to work toward quality with their architects. On a more general level, we are encouraging better communication be­ tween the architectural profession and all other segments of a given commu­ nity. That would mean more involvement of architects in community affairs, more intensive interchange with citizens regarding what-from varying per­ spectives-should be done to maintain and improve the quality of life within the community. In some of its seventeen chapter areas statewide, TSA will be lending is support this year to specific programs-such as seminars and town meetings-designed to faci litate such an interchange. In other cases, we would hope that, on a less formal basis, strides will be made toward better commu­ nication in the interest of quality. We will all be moving toward the ideal expressed by "Texas: the Quality Life" if we do what we can to make 1978 a quality year. Preston M.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

These 20th- and 21st-century works are among the finest examples of studio craft and represent objects by notable artists, such as fiber artists Anni Albers and Sheila Hicks, sculptor Robert Arneson, glass artist Dale Chihuly, and furniture maker John Cederquist. The gift includes works of fiber (94), ceramics (24), glass (19), turned wood/carvings (11), metal (5), furniture (4), jewelry (2), Structure No. 18: Theory of Lift, basketry (1), and folk art (1). The largest donor of contemporary craft in the Jeanette Marie Ahlgren, 1994 Museum’s history, Mrs. Farago has transformed the MFA’s collection with gifts totaling nearly 950 objects to the Museum in her lifetime. Other significant donations to the MFA by Mrs. Farago include the 2006 gift of more than 650 pieces of contemporary jewelry and the 2004 gift of more than 80 works of contemporary fiber art created by the late Edward Rossbach and Katherine Westphal. "These works illustrate Daphne Farago's vision as a collector — they are part of her personal collection and represent some of the finest, most intellectually and technically ambitious creations in these areas," said Malcolm Rogers, Ann and Graham Gund Director of the MFA.

From the stellar group of scholars, artists, and textile professionals nominated by their colleagues, the review com- mittee selected: Sheila Hicks, Jack Lenor Larsen, and Ann Pollard Rowe, each of whom in individual and distinctive ways has made path-breaking contributions that have shaped our field. The work of all three is widely recognized, highly respected, and has been instrumental in forging a more prominent place for textiles in art and scholarship.

She has brought textile sensibility to the visual arts, as well as to architecture and social issues. She has inspired many artists over generations. Currently Sheila is in an especially dynamic and cre- ative period and her work is gaining increasing recog- nition internationally.

SHEILA HICKS: This is Sheila Hicks and I think it would be interesting if I introduce the interviewer briefly: Monique Roman Lévi-Strauss, who is married to the French anthropologist, Claude Lévi-Strauss, since 1954, and who has an American background.
