MUMFOR WILL TALK ONRLIINPROGRAM Lecturer is Author of Several Books on Skyscraper Architecture in , Large Cities OPPOSES RAPID GROWTH Lewis Mumford, author of many books on architecture, will speak on "The Future of the City" at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in Natural Science auditorium. The speech is one of a series being offered by the School of Religion on the moral issues of modern life. Among some of Mr.- Mumford's books are: "The Story of Utopias"; "Sticks and Stones," a criticism of skyscraper architecture, and "The Golden Age," his latest book. Mr. Mumford is famous as a critic of the development of modern cities. Sev- eral of his works have been directed against the neglect of aesthetic and moral values in the growth of our cities. The title of the lecture was origin- ally to be on "The Menace of the City," but the subject was changed in order to allow the speaker greater scope. Mr. Mumford is regarded as an outstanding member of the garden movement. He has been influential in the development of many small towns. "Mr. Mumford has always been an opponent of cities which grow upward instead of outward," Professor A. E. Wood of the Sociol- ogy department said in characterizing the architect. "He dislikes the crowd- ed metropolis and wishes to make the country a nation of small cities." Mr. Mumford will also speak to a group of architects on Friday at the College of Architecture.
