Architects expressed awe and all were moved by the magnificence, sensitivity and soaring quality of your sculpture. The response from the membership was the most positive and enthusiastic I have ever experienced in my fifteen years with the chapter.

Your presence at the review of student work is a voice seldom heard today; that of an idealist and dreamer speaking alone in a world of fashion mongers and pragmatists; you give new currency to the term visionary.

In your discussion of the arts and religion, you showed an uncommon understanding of the indissoluble relationship of the True and the Beautiful. Our students, whether of art or of religion, discovered in those moments that the truly beautiful is always truly holy.

All students of architecture and landscape architecture should listen and be inspired by your words; as a matter of fact "I think your lecture should be mandatory to all design professionals.

It takes all of these to be an effective educator.
