| The Cranbrook Educational Community, founded in the 1920s by newspaper magnate George Booth, was conceived as a utopian society set apart from the industrialized world. Prior to his work with the MacArthur Foundation, Martin was president of the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation, a private foundation specializing in grant making in the areas of environment, population, and education, and was president of both the Cranbrook Educational Community and the Associated Colleges of the Midwest. The Cranbrook Educational Community - which includes the Academy of Art, the Institute of Science, a private coeducational boarding school, and a primary school - continues to focus upon the arts as an important part of the curriculum. |
