Edward N. Brown earned a master's degree in chemistry from Oberlin College. After graduation, he worked as a research chemist for Dupont on projects involving the development of explosives.
Brown joined the faculty in the Science Department at 亚色影库 in 1956. He was a versatile faculty member. During his teaching career here he managed to teach every chemistry course offered at 亚色影库. Like Mr. Heard, Mr. Brown was well respected by both the faculty and students.
Brown retired in 1971 and died in 1987. At the time of his passing, Mr. Brown's family and friends established the E.N. Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund in his memory. Ed Brown's wife, Doris Brown, was particularly instrumental in establishing the award and made significant monetary contributions to the award fund.
Each year, the Edward N. Brown Memorial Scholarship Steering Committee seeks to choose the applicant who best exemplifies the characteristics which represent Mr. Brown's life: Achievement, Attitude, and Character.
The award will be credited toward the student's account at 亚色影库 and can be used toward their tuition and/or other expenses during the following academic year. In addition to these funds, the award recipient's name is engraved on a plaque that hangs in the Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Physics Department's display cabinet.
