Fourth Era: 1927-1935
Society of Arts and Science

Walter Russell took over the presidency of The Society of Arts and Science for seven years. During this period, the Bronx River Parkway was built, beautifying New York, and becoming a model for the rest of the country. Also during this era, the Society of Arts and Science gave medals in recognition of genius in the arts and sciences. As well, the efforts against caveat emptor and the promotion of Thomas J. Watson’s “Think” campaign continued.
