About Brown Day

Held each fall, Brown Day brings together friends and colleagues for presentations, a lunch, a lecture by a prominent visiting geographer, and a reception that celebrates the achievements of the past year, and recalls our history, which spans over three-quarters of a century. The day is named in honor of Ralph Hall Brown, eminent faculty member in our department from 1929 to 1948, and author of Mirror for Americans (1941) and Historical Geography of the United States (1948).
