History

He was born on February 19, 1870, in Monroe, Middlesex, New Jersey.

He served as associate professor emeritus of geology and paleontology at Princeton University. He earned an A.B. degree from Princeton in 1892, followed by a Master of Science in 1893 and a Master of Arts from the University of Chicago in 1894. In 1896, he received a Doctor of Science from Princeton. Between 1898 and 1900, he worked as an assistant in zoology at the New York State Museum in Albany. He was a member of the Princeton faculty for forty years prior to his retirement in 1938. Professor Farr integrated biology and geology in his teaching, particularly through a widely attended course on osteology. Numerous Princeton alumni who later became surgeons and physicians benefited from his lectures and preceptorials in these and related subjects.

In 1894, he married Luella C. Bergen (1869–1963). He died on August 27, 1942, in Princeton, Mercer, New Jersey.
