Abstract
What does the Index of American Design mean to anybody? I don't have the big department store designers and advertisers in mind; they know what to do with it. (“We put our heads together and decided to make up a set of dishes which would be your very own. Yes, your friends would admire it and praise your taste … but it would be for you to enjoy, too, at your own breakfast table. So we looked up the Pennsylvania Dutch. …”) No, I don't mean them, though the Lord moves in strange, mysterious ways, and I have no doubt that they have some legitimate place in the brass-work of our civilization. I mean the run of people—you, if the description isn't offensive, as well as me—who are said to upbear our culture: whose race-memories and perceptions are supposed to be at stake in all the present shooting.
