  Brown University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family's connection with the college was strong: Joseph Brown became a professor of Physics at the University and John Brown served as treasurer from 1775 to 1796.
Brown was recently named "the most fashionable school in the Ivy League" by the fashion trade journal Women's Wear Daily on the basis that students on campus seem to have the strongest sense of personal style.
One of Brown's most notable traditions is keeping alive the spirit and accomplishments of Josiah S. Carberry, the fictional Professor of Psychoceramics (the equally fictional study of cracked pots), who was born on a University Hall billboard in 1929.

 Brown Daily Herald Article
A standardized government test is a "clumsy" way of measuring the impact of higher education on students, said Liz Hollander, executive director of Campus Compact, a national organization of approximately 1,000 college and university presidents that is committed to educating students for their social responsibility.
He said that the real concern is that at the level of state public universities and at community colleges, people are much less mobile and have much less choice and therefore they may not be able to "vote with their feet and pocket books" when determining which institution to choose.
She added that students at Brown who are interested in having a say in this discussion should reserve a spot at the public hearing on the future of higher education that will be held in Boston on March 20.

 The Brown debacle: free speech vs. censorship | Mar 23, 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Granted, this is Brown we're talking about, but even so, its members should not be ideologues, but students and investigators, searching for the truth rather than defending their opinions whether or not those opinions are right.
The Daily Herald had every right to print the Horowitz article—it in fact had a positive effect by sparking a relevant political debate on the subject of slave reparations.
The Brown protesters, through their actions, were seeking to punish the paper for this decision in the hopes of deterring the paper from publishing blatantly offensive material in the future.

 Josiah S. Carberry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The joke has been embraced since that time, at least at Brown, and Carberry has traditionally been scheduled to lecture every Friday the 13th and February 29th (he of course "misses" all of them), and a general mythology has grown around him and his family.
The prominent legal philosopher Joel Feinberg, whose teaching career began with a two-year stint at Brown, carried on a long and apparently-furious feud with Carberry in the acknowledgement sections of his many books.
Professor Carberry also writes letters to the Brown Daily Herald, Brown's student newspaper, that are published annually on April Fool's Day.

 U. works to bolster its defense of open curriculum - Campus News
In the 2004 report, ACTA identified seven subjects vital to a contemporary liberal arts education, such as literature, economics and mathematics, and surveyed schools to determine if broad courses in the seven fields were required or were merely offerings within a distribution.
Brown received an F. No Ivy League school received higher than a C. ACTA President Anne Neal commended Brown for openly advertising what it does and does not offer, unlike other institutions that claim to have a core curriculum but in reality only mandate distribution requirements.
That debate, he said, is currently impoverished, underscoring the need for Brown and other like-minded schools to bolster their defense of open curricula.

I certainly hope that Brown students will have the opportunity to hear from speakers who recognize that there is a conservative side to this debate—one that amounts to far more than waving the Confederate flag and publishing polemical advertisements in student newspapers.

 Battling at Brown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Given the reception extended by Brown students to conservative voices in the recent past, the outraged response to the Horowitz ad -- culminating in the hijacking of 4000 copies of the March 16 edition of the BDH by dozens of students -- might be considered as predictable as a trout chasing a well-placed prince nymph.
THE BROWN DAILY Herald has something of an elevated place at Brown, according to Amirault, who describes the paper as nearly a professional school in itself, noting the BDH alumni who have graduated to jobs at the Boston Globe, New York Times, and Washington Post.
Students have a variety of descriptions of racism at Brown, from racial stereotyping in class discussions, to the fact that the university doesn't pay a living wage to its workers, and pays a low work-study wage to its student workers, both groups whose members are disproportionately people of color.

 Brown's Diversity Challenge
The new committee on "slavery and justice" is in a sense a good-faith attempt to engage in the dialogue that never happened in 2001.
I certainly hope that Brown students will have the opportunity to hear from speakers who recognize that there is a conservative side to this debate -- one that amounts to far more than waving the Confederate flag and publishing polemical advertisements in student newspapers.
If this exploration into the history of Brown is not to degenerate into a convention of the NAACP, President Simmons must act quickly to ensure that contrary voices are represented on the committee and in the series of lectures, forums and debates that are planned for the next two years.

In several instances, UCS members have attempted to change the BDH's contract so that it could be punished with fines for printing articles the UCS disapproved of, and for not covering issues UCS wanted to see printed.
In one particularly flagrant example, deans from OSL and the Office of Campus Life allegedly threatened to sue the BDH for breaching the University's confidentiality in the spring of 2000, when the BDH's editors announced their intention to publish University documents relating to the controversial Ebony Thompson UDC case.
Furthermore, we deplore efforts by University administrators to prevent the BDH from publishing complete and accurate reports on University disciplinary proceedings, malfeasance within the University administration, and other issues that concern the Brown community.

The controversy has been simmering nationwide but erupted at Brown University last week when the independent Brown Daily Herald accepted the ad, from the conservative writer David Horowitz, listing 10 reasons to oppose the payment of reparations to descendants of American slaves.
The protesters at Brown, the University of California, and elsewhere have only given Horowitz the ammunition he sought: proof that would-be liberals are as intolerant of difference as anyone else.
It is essential for Brown and other universities to be welcoming places for women, minorities, and others not among the traditional elites.

Scientists say a bloom of deadly "brown tide" that makes a surprise visit to Washington's inland waters a few times each decade, killing fish and then quickly heading out to the ocean, swept through the area last week.
The brown tide is blamed on an single-celled organism called Heterosigma that sometimes blooms in late June or early July when water conditions are just right.
From the air, the water contained large areas of water that had a coffee brown color on the surface and redder sections near the shore.
