EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION FROM 



1905 TO I9H 



DR. LIVINGSTON FARRAND, who was the first execu- 

 tive secretary of the National Tuberculosis Association, 

 was born in Newark, N. J., June 14, 1867. His father was 

 Samuel A. and his mother Louise Wilson Farrand. Dr. Farrand 

 obtained his degree of A.B. at Princeton University in 1888, and 

 in the year 1891 he received simultaneously the degree of A.M. 

 from Princeton and of M.D. from the College of Physicians and 

 Surgeons of New York city. He studied in Cambridge, England, 

 and in Berlin, devoting a gieat deal of time to psychology and 

 anthropology. He was instructor in psychology at Columbia Uni- 

 versity from 1893 to J 9 OI > adjunct professor from 1901 to 1903, 

 and professor of anthropology from 1903 to 1914. 



Dr. Farrand served as executive secretary of the National 

 Tuberculosis Association from 1905 to 1914. He left the Na- 

 tional Association, much to the regret of the board of directors 

 and his associates, to accept the presidency of the University 

 of Colorado, over which institution he presided until the year 

 1917. His work as college president was marked by the same 

 great executive ability and tact which characterized his invalu- 

 able work as executive secretary of the Association. The Uni- 

 versity of Colorado conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. 

 during the first year of his presidency. Besides being intensely 

 interested in his specialties of anthropology and tuberculosis, 

 Dr. Farrand was also most active in the American Psychological 

 Association and the American Public Health Association, and 

 served the latter association as treasurer and as editor of the 

 American Journal of Public Health from 1912 to 1914.
