R. CHARLES HILLMAN BROUGH was born in Clinton, Hinds County, Mississippi, July 9, 187(L He was educated under the direction of his uncle, Dr. Walter Hillman, at Mississippi College, from which institution he was graduated with honors in 1893. Following his graduation he pursued a post¬ graduate course in economics, history, and jurispru¬ dence at the Johns Hopkins University, where he won the $500 fellowship in political economy and received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in 1898. Upon the retirement of President Webb, as Professor Emeritus of Philosophy in Mississippi College, Dr. Brough was elected to this chair, adding to the department extensive courses in political economy and history. After teaching four years in this capacity he resigned to take the law course in the University of Mississippi, under Gov. Sands and Prof. Sommerville, completing the two years course in one and receiving distinc¬ tion. He intended entering the active practice of law at Jackson, but just at the time he received his LL.B. from the University of Mississippi, he was called to the University of Arkansas as professor of economics and sociology. Since coming to Arkansas eleven years ago, Dr. Brough has built up one of the largest departments in the University, having an enrollment of over three hundred stu¬ dents annually. He has taken an active interest in building up the public school system of the State and has delivered the commencement address at almost every high school and college in the State. His interest in economic and political questions is nation-wide in its scope. He organized the first Uni¬ versity Woodrow Wilson Club in the United States, October 19, 1911, having taken a special course under the president-elect at the Johns Hopkins Univer¬ sity. He is chairman of the Commission of Southern Professors appointed by Dr. James H. Dillard, of New Orleans, to study the negro problem, and is a member of the executive committee of the Southern Sociological Congress. Dr. Brough is an author and lecturer whose name is familiar throughout the South, having contributed extensively to the publications of the Arkansas and Missis¬ sippi State Historical societies and to “The South in the Building of the Nation.” He is President of the Arkansas State Teachers’ Association, the most widely known member of the Faculty of the University, and one of the South’s greatest orators.
