geometers must admit that the beauty of synthetic geometry has lost
its appeal for the new generation. The reasons are clear: not so long ago
synthetic geometry was the only field in which the reasoning proceeded
strictly from axioms, whereas this appeal - so fundamental to many
mathematically interested people - is now made by many other fields.
Moreover, much research is taking place in the new fields, but very little
in synthetic geometry. There is an additional reason, more peculiar to
the United States: individually attractive results, in which projective
geometry abounds, are not appreciated, with very few exceptions as in
number theory, because there is a tendency to use generality as the only
criterion. [...]
