What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's caught most of these Perrys in mid-career in 1921, and the later chapters are missing. James DeWolf Perry, Jr., then just ten years a bishop of Rhode Island, went on to serve as Presiding Bishop of the whole Episcopal Church from 1930 to 1937, dying in 1947; Bliss Perry, described as having left Princeton for the Atlantic Monthly, had in fact already moved on to Harvard, where he taught until 1930, and he lived to 1954. Roland Hinton Perry died in 1941, and the work Collier's calls the "Fountain of Neptune" is now generally known as the Court of Neptune Fountain, still in place before the Library of Congress. Perry, Iowa, listed at 5,642 in the 1920 census, has grown only modestly, to roughly 7,800 today, and remains a farm-country town rather than the industrial center the entry hints at.
