Roland Bradbury Rand attended Harvard College, graduating with the class of 1906, and then became a civil engineer. His entry in the Harvard College Class of 1906 Second Report reads as follows:

On June 1, 1906, I went to New York, where I was employed by the Western Electric Company. In February, 1907, I was transferred to the American Telephone Company in Boston. In July, 1907, I went to work for the Boston Elevated Railway, for whom I have since been transitman, draughtsman and assistant designing engineer on the Cambridge subway. I was married June 27, 1908 to Nellie Celynda Fuller at Weston, Mass. Business address: 2 Central Square, Cambridge, Mass. Present residence: Sudbury Road, Weston, Mass.

He was the engineer who worked on the development of the Weston (Massachusetts) Country Club, as can be seen in the accompanying photograph of a schematic hanging on the wall at the Country Club.

The Twenty-Second Annual Report of the Boston Transit Commission dated June 30, 1916 lists him at page 66 as follows: "Plans for steel details, Dorchester Tunnel."

Roland Rand and Nellie Fuller had five children, one of whom (Edith) was still living at the time of this writing (August 21, 2012):
