Description: The Silversmith, Watchmakers and Jewelers of the State of New York, Outside New York City. - - - By George Barton Cutten. Published by the author in 1939.George Barton Cutten [1874–1962] was a psychologist, moral philosopher, historian, university administrator, and author of numerous studies on American silver, who was born in Nova Scotia. As a young man he kicked around at a variety of jobs including reporter, salesman, and pipe fitter, and then was reportedly locked up in his room by his uncle until he agreed to go to university. After graduating Acadia University, he earned a degree in divinity and a PhD in psychology at Yale. He served as president of Acadia University from 1910 to 1922, except for a period during WWI when he took a leave of absence to devote full-time to army recruiting efforts. In 1922 he left Acadia for the Presidency of Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. "Finding Colgate university’s financial affairs in disorder he set out to turn its finances around. For the next seventeen years the school declared a surplus, in the meantime doubling its faculty, plant and assets. His football teams also won championships." After retiring from academia Cutten devoted his time to collecting and researching early American silver and silversmiths, in which he was helped by his wife, Minnie. During the 1930s and 1940s he assembled a fine private collection, and also authored a number of studies of American silversmiths of various localities around New York, as well as Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina.Softcover. 6”x9”, 47 pages, no illustrations.
