What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's caught both Farrand brothers of Newark in mid-career in 1921, and both went considerably further. Livingston Farrand, then chairman of the American Red Cross central committee, was elected president of Cornell University that same year and held the post until 1937, dying in 1939. Max Farrand left Yale to become the first director of research at the Henry E. Huntington Library in San Marino, California, serving through the 1930s until his death in 1945; the work Collier's does not mention, his multi-volume edition of the 'Records of the Federal Convention of 1787,' is still the standard source cited by historians and by the Supreme Court, and his wife Beatrix Jones Farrand is now the better-known figure of the two as a pioneering American landscape architect.
