A Legacy Of Beauty? 
Scientists say that mankind’s genetic endowment has been shaped by evolution to 
require “natural” surroundings for optimum mental health. For centuries 
we have tried to recreate in our homes the primordial setting— 
green plants, warm humid air; conditions symbolic of the tropical 
/ ‘ environment to which we appear best adapted. Today’s 
| + | life-style in America emphasizes communion with air, water, sun. 
ae Houses are designed for ‘outdoor living.” We build swimming 
; pools in our backyards, or buy week-end places in the forested 
acres of exurbia. The response to green, growing things is 
pronounced in the minds of the millions of campers who seek 
the refreshing shelter of tree-shaded parks and recreation areas. 
It is clearly evident that natural beauty in our daily life is a 
genuine biological need. 
But opposed to this native longing is the artificial, urbanized 
world which man himself has constructed. He lives in his 
steel and concrete cell with a growing sense of frustration; 
and urban tensions grow. 
2300 years ago, Aristotle said that people gather in 
cities “in order to live the good life.” But city 
dwelling is increasingly barren of the qualities 
which make for “the good life’, and 
i ___ degradation of the environment is a major cause of 
| : ge : the growing discontent which plagues the urban 
eo ia dweller. More than ever, we realize that natural 
ff beauty has a unique capacity to lift man’s 
spirit, to brighten his outlook. And we realize 
that it is visual pollution which gives rise 
to much of the frustration which tortures 
our minds. But man, the great polluter, 
can change the drab and ugly scene. Just 
as pollution has been created by individual 
action, it will require effort on the part of 
each individual to change his environment 
for the better. For ways in which this 
can be accomplished turn to the back 
cover which briefly mentions 
what one man can do.
