Over 1000 pieces of original art done by Whitney Darrow Jr. have been donated to Princeton University, in what is turning out to be a stellar week for cartoonist bequests to various high-end universities. The donation breaks down about 70-30 in terms of book illustrations against cartoons. There was a blog report a couple of weeks back that has a more aggressive take on the cartoonist's career. Darrow was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and graduated from his hometown college in 1931, two years before beginning his 50-year relationship with The New Yorker.
