Extract

I am no artist, but I believe my artistic friends when they tell me that among the first requisites for good art are simplicity and truthfulness. Architecture is also outside my range; but I have architectural friends too, and they tell me of the need for simplicity and truthfulness in Architecture. After taking my degree in Mathematics I went for nearly a year to a Theological College, and I very soon found out for myself what were the qualities which a Theological College most urgently requires.
