What Has Changed in the Last Century
When Collier's wrote this in 1921, Everett, Washington was a lumber and shingle port of 27,644; its mills have largely gone, and the city of about 110,000 is now dominated by Boeing's Everett assembly plant, opened in 1967 and the largest building in the world by volume, and by Naval Station Everett, commissioned in 1994. Everett, Massachusetts, then a town of iron, steel and chemical works with 40,120 people, has roughly 49,000 today, and the Encore Boston Harbor casino opened in 2019 on a remediated industrial riverfront site. The oddest silence is in the Edward Everett entry: it lists Harvard's Greek chair, the governorship, the London ministry and the State Department, but not the two-hour oration he delivered at Gettysburg in November 1863, immediately before Lincoln's few sentences ow,, nis nor his 1860 run for vice-president on the Constitutional Union ticket. The sketch of Charles Carroll Everett, dean of Harvard Divinity School, still reads accurately, though his books are now of interest chiefly to historians of American liberal theology.
