IN MEMORIAM EDWARD During the thirty-five years that Ed Brown served as janitor and chief engineer at Blake, he became a part of the school. To the faculty he was a loyal friend; to returning alumni, a link with the best of their school days; and to the students, an adviser and companion. The whole school mourned his death last February 20. The dedication of this book can only be a small token of our gratitude to Ed; for words can never express the nature or extent of his contributions. Ed was born 67 years ago in a small town near Kansas City. He went to school and was married there. J. BROWN and in 1916 he and his wife Alice came to Minneapolis. He joined St. Peter’s A.M.E. Church the day after he arrived and has been an active member ever since. He was senior trustee when he died. To him his religion was not something for Sundays only; it was a way of life and he practiced it every day. Perhaps it was this quality that made him admired at Blake from his first day in 1919. As he went quietly about his work, he made friends and took part in the life of the school. He used to play baseball in the faculty-alumni games. The faculty probably could not have won the games they did without his help. He made friends 6

EDWARD with the students and guided and advised those who needed help or were in trouble. Honesty and loyalty were two of Ed’s outstanding qualities. Although he probably could have made more money elsewhere, he worked faithfully at Blake. He did his work thoroughly without any complaints. When he said he would do something, no matter how trivial, it was as good as done; he never broke his word. No one ever looked down on Ed because of his color. His qualities as a man were so outstanding that people did not think of him as belonging to another race. But he realized that the problem existed and that J. BROWN it could not be solved in a day. In his own quiet way he did as much to help overcome prejudice as any man could do. The death of Ed Brown was a loss not only to his family, his church, and this school; it was a loss to the world. He made friends wherever he went and left a path of happiness as he moved through life. To Blake school he was much more than the man who kept the building warm and swept the Boors; he was even more than a good friend. He was a part of the school and a part of every person connected with it. We can never replace him and never forget him, and we will always be thankful we had the good fortune to know him. 7
