In Memoriam CHARLES P. BROWN BORN At Brown's Station, Nev., September 30, 1871 DIED At Reno. Nevada, July 22, 1900 N September 30, 1871, Charles Peleg Brown, son of Peleg and Elizabeth Brown, was X , born at Brown's Station near Reno, Nevada, and there were spent the earlier years of GX xg his life. His first educational training he obtained at the district schoolhouse near his own home. When he was about Hfteen years of age, Charles Brown came to Reno and entered the commercial course of the Nevada State University, intending to fit himself for a business life, but while pursuing the work of this course, he showed such assiduity as a student and such wonderful intellectual aptitude that his instructors persuaded him to enter the college proper, and he became a Freshman in the School of Mines in the Fall of 1 889. The promise of the earlier student days was more than fulfilled in the college work, so that when Mr. Brown was graduated in 1893, his Alma Mater straightway offered him the position of analytical chemist in the State Mining Laboratory. Alder two years of the faithful performance of the duties as chemist, in 1895 Mr. Brown was appointed Instructor in Minerology and Mathematics in the State University, and in 1898 he was promoted to the position of Assistant Professor of Mathematics. The Nevada University further showed its appreciation of the great success which Mr. Brown had attained in his work by giving him the appointment to the Associate Professorship of Mineralogy in IQOO, and it was in connection with the duties of this department that he attended the convention of State Miner- alogists, held in Chicago during the summer of that year. While visiting friends in Missouri, subsequent to this convention, Mr. Brown was stricken with typhoid fever, of which he died at Reno on July 22, IQOO. The news of Mr. Brown's death came as a great shock to his students and associates in the University, for he had endeared himself to all alike by his engaging personality, his faithfulness as a friend, his perfect integrity in all business relations, and his un- swerving and enthusiastic devotion to his work as a college professor. The interpretation of the initials of his name by the students, Chemically Pure Brown, speaks for the impression his character made upon them for deep sincerity and truthfulness of purpose. Mr. Brown's span of life counted scarcely twenty-nine years, but during that brief period he accomplished much, for he constantly lived up to his high ideals ofa true man and a faithful Christian. 15
