The Cranbrook Academy of Art, one of the nation's leading graduate schools of architecture, art and design, was founded by the Booths in 1932.
Cranbrook's method of teaching has proven beneficial for the school, as many of its graduate programs are considered among the best in the country by both U.S. News & World Report[REF] and the journal DesignIntelligence, which ranks programs in its annual edition of "America's Best Architecture & Design Schools".
