He was prepared at South Orange High School and graduated from 
Yale College in 1906. 
He was married August 23, 1911, in Milford, Pa., to Miss Alice Vir- 
ginia Baker of Milford, Pa, daughter of H. T. Baker and Virginia 
(Halliday) Baker. 
Brown is assistant professor of forest utilization in the New 
York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University. He 
has held this position since July 1, 1912. 
He writes: “In 1904 spent the summer on general trip through 
the forest regions of California, Colorado and the Southwest. 
Was instructor at Yale Forest Camp at Milford, Pa., between 
Junior and Senior years at the Forest School. In July, 1908, 
I entered the United States Forest Service, going first to Mon- 
tana to classify and value the Northern Pacific Railway holdings. 
The winter of 1909 was spent in Florida, in the interests of the 
government. During the summer of 1909, I had charge of a 
survey party on the Gallatin and Absaroka National forests in 
the neighborhood of Yellowstone Park. While on a furlough, 
in 1910, at home in South Orange, N. J., I sold bonds for the 
banking house of Lee Higginson & Company for awhile.” 
Again, in 1910, he was instructor at the Yale Forest Camp 
at Milford, Pa. During 1910-11 he was deputy supervisor of 
the Kaniksu National Forest in Idaho. He resigned from the 
, Service in 1911, to become assistant professor of forestry in the 
Iowa State College, at Ames, Iowa. In July, 1912, he entered 
upon his present position in the New York State College of 
Forestry. 
Brown is a Presbyterian and is a member of the Yale Club 
of New York City, the Society of American Foresters, the 
American Forestry Association and the Pennsylvania Forestry 
Association. 
He has written: Reproduction of lodgepole pine in relation to its 
management, For. Quart., March, 1912; Possibility of reproducing our 
eastern forests by natural means (read before annual meeting of the 
Pennsylvania Forestry Association, Bushkill, Pa., 1912). In 1909 he wrote 
an article, Forest conditions of Florida, which is to be published as a 
bulletin by the U. S. Forest Service. He has also written miscellaneous
