Melville Bell Grosvenor Melville Bell Grosvenor Melville Bell Grosvenor (November 26, 1901 – April 22, 1982) was the president of the National Geographic Society and editor of "The National Geographic Magazine" from 1957 to 1967. He was the grandson of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell. A photography enthusiast, he increased the size of printed photographs in the magazine, and initiated the practice, that continues to this day, of opening articles with a two-page photo feature. He reduced the name of the publication from "The National Geographic Magazine" to "National Geographic". Under Grosvenor's tenure, "National Geographic" also began to branch out from land expeditions
