What Has Changed in the Last Century
When Collier's wrote in 1921, Charles Aubrey Eaton was an ex-pastor working in industrial relations; four years later he entered Congress as a New Jersey Republican, served from 1925 until his death in 1953, chaired the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and in 1945 was one of the American delegates who signed the United Nations Charter at San Francisco. Walter Prichard Eaton, then a freelance critic and lecturer, went on to hold the chair of playwriting at the Yale School of Drama from 1933 to 1947 and died in 1957. Charles Warren Eaton, the "associate of the National Academy" who won the Inness medal, painted his moody pine landscapes until his death in 1937 and was largely forgotten before the revival of interest in American Tonalism from the 1970s onward. The Wyatt Eaton notice, written thirty-five years after his death, needs no correction.
