HENRY BAKER BROWN 1843-1917 Valparaiso University was founded September 16, 1873, by Henry Baker Brown. It was through the untiring and unceasing labor of H. B. Brown that the most democratic University in America was made possible. It was through his efforts that thousands of young people received an education, which they could never have obtained elsewhere. It was at Valparaiso Uni- versity that such prominent men as you see pictured on the following pages became filled with a determina- tion to win and an unfailing coni- dence in their ability to succeed.
