Dwelling on the flip-side of the positive environmentalismthat informed Soderberg’s position, Loofbourow spoke of being troubled by the “spectacle ofcities decaying from within,” and various modern scientific developments including the atomicbomb, “a fear of which contributes to psychological unrest.” In his view, technological progress,after making many positive contributions, had “gone on to make other aspects of the physicalenvironment progressively more unpleasant.” This meant that it was no longer sufficient for MITto have as its objectives “the training of men for efficient and
