| Abstract: | Continuing the series of articles on graduate programs in American schools of architecture that began with a contribution from the University of California in the September 1963 issue, G. Holmes Perkins discusses the changing conditions in architectural practice which make for a lengthening of the architect's education at the undergraduate level and in graduate study a diversity of specializations undreamed of a few years ago; he then goes on to describe the measures with which the University of Pennsylvania is seeking to meet the challenge of the future. Professor Perkins, besides being Dean of the Graduate School of Fine Arts at Pennsylvania, is Chairman of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission and Chancellor of the College of Fellows, The American Institute of Architects. |
