What Has Changed in the Last Century
When Collier's wrote this in 1921, Ogden was a Utah rail junction of 32,804 people served by five railroads; the population is now roughly 87,000, and the great passenger depot at Union Station has been a museum complex since the 1970s, with the city's economy anchored instead by nearby Hill Air Force Base, opened in 1940. The Mormon Weber Stake Academy listed here grew into Weber State University, which took that name in 1991; the state schools for the blind and for the deaf survive, merged as the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. Of the three men, Rollo Ogden went further than the entry could know, becoming editor-in-chief of the New York Times in 1922 and holding the post until his death in 1937. Robert Morris Ogden, described only as a writer and translator, is remembered chiefly for his 1924 translation of Koffka's "Growth of the Mind," which helped introduce Gestalt psychology to American readers.
