School of Architecture Z6 f Architecture is the only five year undergraduate program at Washington University. The fifth year was recently added to the conventional bachelor's degree requirements so that broader studies might supplement the student's professional training. Within this new framework the School of Architec- ture pursues the high aim defined by Chancellor Compton: to provide the faculty, curriculum and environment which will encourage each student to attain his maximum potential as a useful citizen and creative individual. ln the selection of building problems for the student to study, the school seeks to emphasize the relationship of the univer- sity and the community. The school accepts the challenge of a continuing search for the best possible professional training for the practice of architecture. This implies that, concur- rently, the student will be offered the opportunity to develop cultural interests and social concepts which our fast moving world expects of those who will plan our future buildings and cities.
