Among the charges that the Princeton critics leveled against the report was that, in keeping with its general timidity, it treated the "dollar gap" as the basic problem, and closing the gap as the solution.

If this tendency continues, the gap that has widened for the better part of a century between the artist and the people who look at pictures may shortly pose less of a problem...
