POSTAGE Southern was specially written and edited for PAID the alumni of PERMIT No. 38 CO O H & SouthernSouthern . ican College Weekly That Prints All The News That's News — And Then Some VOLUME 65 FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE, LAKELAND, FLORIDA, NOVEMBER 23, 1951 Architect Frank Visits Florida Southern; Inspects Partially Completed Industrial Arts Building New Science Structure Discussed With Dr. Spivey , dean of American architects and rated by leading authorities as the greatest architect of many centuries, vis­ ited Florida Southern College and the Frank Lloyd Wright Cam­ pus late last month. He returned to Lakeland at the personal invitation of Presi­ dent Ludd M. Spivey and viewed for the first time the progress being made on the new Industrial Arts Building and discussed in some detail the architectural plans for the proposed new $450,- 000 "Polk County Science Building." The 83-year-old world-renowned architect also lectured in the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, and he and Mrs. Wright were the guests of honor at a reception given by President and Mrs. Spivey in the Eleanor Searle Drawing Room in Joseph-Reynolds Hall. As soon as he arrived in Lakeland with Dr. Spivey, after speak­ ing to almost 5,000 men and women at the .University of Florida in Gainesville, Mr. Wright went to the new Industrial Arts Building to see at first-hand the progress being made on the largest of the Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings on the campus. He also visited the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, the E. T. Roux Library, the Emile E. Watson Administration Building, the J. Edgar Wall Waterdome and the seminars on the West Campus—all of which he designed as part of the overall #10,000,000 Frank Lloyd Wright Campus at Florida Southern. Favorite Project In discussing the proposed new "Polk County Science Build­ ing" with Dr. Spivey and members of the science departments of the college, the noted architect emphasized that it was his "favorite" project in his architectural program at Florida Southern. President Spivey has stated several times that he expects to

the New Year : nd shortly after the completion of the Industrial Arts Building. In his visit to Florida Southern, Mr. Wright paid high tribute to President Spivey for his vision in seeking a modern American college campus and for his tireless efforts to obtain the necessary financial support for the fulfillment of the overall program. Speaking on architecture to students, faculty and community residents in the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, the noted American said: "No one can refer to the buildings of today as archi­ tecture. They are hangovers. They no longer are indicative of our times. That is why we are high and dry today. "We must have a good feeling. We will talk of atmosphere. Here at Florida Southern College you will be educated in an atmos­ phere of truth. And if you can only see it, you will have a better chance oi growing into something fine spiritually, x x x. Sense of Beauty "Students here will go out with a better sense of beauty than those at Harvard and Yale and other Gothic-designed colleges. But it should be so by all that's holy. "The atmosphere in which you live and move and have your being—it should make quality. Quality is a matter of culture." After speaking in the chapel, Mr. Wright conferred privately with Dr. Spivey on the work accomplished to date on the Frank Lloyd Wright program as well as those projects which are sched­ uled to be undertaken next year and in the immediate succeeding years. Both Mr. Wright and Mrs. Wright were in the receiving line at the reception given in their honor by President and Mrs. Spivey. The internationally-famous architect mingled freely with guests at the receptions and posed for pictures with various friends of the college. Saw Many Changes After an absence of several years from the college, Mr. Wright saw many changes which have been made on the West Campus in recent years, including new 275-car parking lot adjacent to the Industrial Arts and Administration buildings. He was particularly interested in the progress which has been made in landscaping the Frank Lloyd Wright Campus, which is rapidly developing into one of the beauty spots of Florida and which is visited annually by thousands of winter visitors from the North and from many foreign countries. Following his two-day visit to Florida Southern, Mr. Wright and Mrs. Wright flew back to their summer home in Wisconsin. Mr. Wright and Dr. Spivey conferred at the architect's sum­ mer home in Wisconsin this September on detailed plans for the proposed new Science Building. He indicated that he plans to begin final architectural work on the pending project before the end of the year. Mr. Wright has already done considerable work on the Science Building plans. En route to Lakeland from Gainesville, the famous architect, Mrs. Wright and Dr. Spivey spent several hours seeing Florida's famed Silver Springs. The remarkable camera study of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright was made fay Florida Southern College Photographer Harold Sanborn. In the background of the top panels is the new Industrial Arts Building.

Quality, Not Quantity, Seen As Big Need By Mr. Wright (The following is the complete text of the alk made by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel on his rece t visit to Florida Southern College.)

I want to congratulate you (College Concert Choir) in the balcony. The acoustics are good. As Dr. Spivey said, the archi­ tecture speaks for itself, so I don't see why I should talk. How about it? This will be something like painting the lily or gilding the gold. When I stand here in my own work, is it necessary for me to say much? I suppose you all want to know how to build a building? Want a prescription for a house? All for the price of one admission? You seldom get it because it can't be had that way. Common 'Things Easy The common things that you pick up in the street are easy to come by. That is why they are common. A superior thing is difficult to get. We are finding it in this nation of ours in build­ ing a superior building. What do you have to have? A superior human building. A builder to build. That means difficulty. All kinds of things come along to disappoint you. After awhile, though, it will all come out, a thing of beauty. This Chapel now is filled with flowers. Human beings in our buildings. It looks like buildings coming out of the people, peo­ ple coming out of the buildings. That's new in the architectural world. For five hundred years buildings have tended to make peo­ ple feel inferior. Modify the human being. Buildings not built on the human scale. Buildings for human people, that give joy to the occupants, simplicity in their own right. Want me to give you the secret of architecture? Architecture has a language. It can't be put into words. People talk more because they found out they could do more at it than anything else. Now that they found out they could talk, they take it out in talking. They talk every­ thing to death, talk the arm off of everybody. Matter of the Heart If I had to translate these buildings into talk and persuade you to take them, I would have a hard time because other people talk too. All you have to do is have a feeling about something in your mind. You have to learn it—it's a matter of the heart—-a feeling that comes out as a matter of knowledge-—then you can do some­ thing. When you started, you were mostly accidents. Personality is something you inherit, but by working on it and with help fi

your superiors you will perceive eth mg which is you. You ,>ill be. : capable of seeing yourself as oth ; see you. Nation's Blind Spot I have always thought that going to school meant going to find out about ourselves—a technique which would enable that inner being to begin something fine—the architecture or spirit— that which we call the soul. That has to take place before you can recognize a building when you see it. Shakespeare said: 'You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.' Architecture is subjective. The known architectural things in the world are subjective also. People are rare who can interpret and understand a building. Architecture is a blind spot in our nation. You may have a smat­ ib :: •••"•' ill!! tering of things, but you will be left ignorant about architecture. The good Doctor (Ludd M. Spivey) has fixed this for you. At least he has placed you in a position so that you can find out about it. I would hate to start in now and have to ask you what it means to you. Word has come to me that some people have wept in here (the Chapel). Is there nothing in these buildings which sing to you or makes a note of spiritual quality which can't be defined? Something deep inside of you which needs response. That's what we call appreciation. If we had appreciation and knew what archi­ I tecture really means we would have architecture. Buildings Are Hangovers No one can refer to the buildings of colleges today as archi­ tecture. They are hang-overs. No longer indicative of our times. That's why we are high and dry today. We must have a good feeling. We will talk of atmosphere. Here at Florida Southern College you will be educated in an atmosphere of truth. And if you can only see it you have a better chance of growing into some- i thing fine spiritually as you are being educated in an atmosphere of truth. And if you can only see it you have a better chance of wtstm growing into something fine spiritually as you are being educated in a good atmosphere. Some would inquire: What is thing to us? What gives me this feeling? What exactly has happened in this field of archi­ tecture? Appreciation of architecture as such is an awakening. %< Almost everyone is asleep who doesn't have it. Some people never . '- -V: . : : :"?•„; ! cease talking and come out of these buildings never having said anything. Three-fifths of the boys and girls keep on talking and : .. ! ' , never see anything here. It is a difficult thing to see. You look and you get a certain impression but you look and don't see. In other words you lack what is called vision.
