3n iWemoriam EDWIN PERKINS BROWN June 25, 1868— February 8, 1934 (From a Tribute to Mr. Brown ' s Memory by Mr. Frank R. Buxton, a Trustee of the Conservatory) Sterling integrity, abiding fairness, unselfishness, a deep sjinpathy for all sorts and conditions of men and a modesty which amounted to self-effacement were a natural part of the late Edwin P. Brown . . . In spite of crowded days and intricate problems he retained his warm feeling for humanity, and he exercised it in a manner which was as admirable as it was unostentatious. He did not care who sat on the stage or in the front seats. He merely desired that good things should make good progress. He was perhaps the most beloved of the graduates of the English High school . . . Boys ' clubs were dear to him. Struggling young men and women had an easy approach to him. Like his father, he was an intense lover of music. As president of the trustees of the New England Conservatory of Music, he gave his time and money most generously.
