Brown University - Liber Brunensis Yearbook (Providence, RI)

Brown is a total experience. Its curriculum is excellent, the product of intelligent thought and labor since 1764. But alone this was not enough. Brown men are free men, and Brown undergraduates were always free to develop in all directions. Extra-curricular programs came into being: activities to stim- ulate the mind, develop the body; outlets for talent and inter- est. The first Liber Brunensis appeared in 1869. President Andrews, Pembrokers, and the Brown Daily Herald arrived in 1891. In word and deed, Andrews and the Pembrokers inspired the students. Undergraduate enrollment approached 1000. So Brown grew and became more diversified. New build- ings were the birthplaces of new ideas. New activities stim- ulated new interests. Brown men wrote for the Liber. They acted in Sock and Buskin. They played baseball when there was a team. Eventually, they cultivated Pembrokers. Much like today, they did as they chose. The University was their testing ground. They were different. They reacted, they changed, and they developed.
