ABSTRACT
L See p. 238 of Carol Aronovici, "Suburban Development," Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science 51 Oanuary 1914), 234-238. 2. Some architectural critics looked at this tradition of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts as a crushing assault upon the development of American architecture. For example, see William H. Jordy and Ralph Coe, eds., introduction to Montgomery Schuyler: American Architecture and Other Writings. 3. America of the 1890s had just become a world power pursuing imperialistic expansion in South America and the Pacific Islands. Economically, America was in pursuit of new markets, but it used the ideological gloss of a Christian dury to civilize and uplift the poor people of the backward nations. See CharIes and Mary Beard, "World Mission Under Arms," The American Spirit, Chap. 10. 4. See p. 1 of "Report on Rapid Transit in New York City," Bulletin of the Municipal Art Society of New York 14 (1904), 1-46.
