“Originality is a welcome gift, but for that, how uninteresting this world would be. Yet do not let originality govern your designs too much, for the primary purpose of the bridge is its use. When that purpose is fulfilled, then it is, that your originality can be applied.”
— Lewis Walker Final Exam Thesis “The Bridge”, July 1923
