In 1946, Brandeis University founders acquired the beleaguered Middlesex University’s rural 100-acre campus in Waltham, Massachusetts. Over the ensuing decades, all the buildings in the 1947 photo — except for part of the iconic Usen Castle — would give way to the construction of a modern campus ...
