Beard's resignation from Columbia made him a national symbol of academic freedom, and in the 1920s and 1930s his public reputation and educational activities increased. He served as president of both the American Historical Association and the American Political Science Association. In 1919 — along with John Dewey, Alvin Johnson, and James Harvey Robinson — he founded the New School for Social Research in New York. In 1922 and 1923 he advised the city of Tokyo in its rebuilding efforts following a devastating earthquake, and after that appointment he traveled through Asia and Europe. He continued to produce well-received scholarly works and several history textbooks, including The Rise of American Civilization (1927), that were standard issue in colleges and high schools of the period.
