Beauty Revival Urged
Bv DIR. Cram at Harvard
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 20.-Dr
Ralph Adams Cram, Of Boston, the
noted architect, voiced plea for re-
vival of beauty from the ugliness into
which the world has fallen, in an ad-
dress to-day before the Harvard Chap
ter of Phi Beta Kappa. It is the way
to a sounder basis Of life, said Dr..
Cram.
'In the sudden and egregious disil-
lusionment that has overtaken u.s." he
said, 'we revolt against the current or
der Of things, so arduously and so
proudly built up, because it reveals
itself now as illogical and incom petent.
as fostering injustice rather than
equity, as tending toward selfshness,
oppression, the destruction of liberty.
the exaltation of ignorance, vulgaritv
and venality, and because it has en-
Pendered fear, jealousy, cruelty and
hatred instead of love, fellowship and
compassion. Each Of these things is
ugly, and beauty has forsaken their do
nam IN encouragement and disgust.
"ln both the material and the psv-
chnlogical spheres ugliness rules.
"If it we're for me to determine those
Methods which seemed to give the best
promise of solving our social and in
dustrial and political problems; to de-
termine how best ugliness might be
expelled from life and beauty brought
back, would say that every energy
should be given toward restoring to
society such chapels and churches and
monasteries and cathedrals as the
Christian world possessed for a thou
sand years, with all the arts as nearly
as possible in their old integrity. Then
IN these ganctuaries of the Living God
might be shown forth daily, hourly, the
selfsame religious faith, By the self
same methods, and with the selfsame
power that held in the old days of
Christian civilization.
Beauty must be linked again with
life, and art given back its true serv-
ice"
