Century Memorial
Joseph Randolph Coolidge, an elder brother of Professor Archibald Coolidge, was a useful public citizen whose career had been prepared for by a thorough education. He had taken his degree at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had studied at the University of Berlin and the Dresden Polytechnic. He had tasted public life in the New Hampshire legislature and had served the city of his later residence as trustee for the Boston Athenæum and the Museum of Fine Arts, and as president of the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
