P LA L HL - is proud to take this opportunity to join in the celebratior HE Class of 193 lercentenary of the founding of Rhode Island. Roger Williams, a religious refug from Massachusetts Colony, came down the Seekonk River in 1636 and found the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. The first charter for th Colony was granted Williams by Oliver Cromwell in 1643. Some years later a new charter was granted the Colony, which was the most liberal of all the colonial harters. Thus Rhode his conscience dictated and soon became a haven where anyone might worship a: and wealth. The port of Providence As time went on the Colony grew in was becoming morc j was busy with coastal and world-wide shipping. As the Colony mature the Baptists began to talk of establishing a Baptist college in Rhode lsland TU Since the Baptists were a rather poor sect, not very large in numbers, this seeme many a risky venture. However, they called on Dr. Manning to become the first president and negotiate for a charter, which was finally granted by the colonial legislature in 1764 The name of the new college was to be Rhode Island College, but it was later chang to Brown University, as it is known today.

dibied o It is very fitting that the LIBER BRUNENSIS for 1936 be dedicated to Professor Potter. After a service of thirty-seven ears in the English Department at Brown, he became Pro- tessor Emeritus under the age limitation of the University Professor Potter was born in Maine, studied in Massachu- setts, and was graduated from Brown in the Class of 1886, which this year celebrates its semi-centennial. Later he studied at Leipzig, Berlin, and Oxford. He was called to his Alma Mater in the year 1908 to become Associate Pro- fessor of English. From 1915 to his retirement in 1935 he was Professor of English, a long period of devoted and fruitful accomplishment The wholehearted goodwill of students, Faculty Alumni, and all lovers of Brown go with him in rich measure into what we hope will be long years of reaping the harvest of a distinguished and useful life, steadily lived at a high level.
