BROWN UNIVERSITY 
PROVIDENCE

?o whom this may concern: 
Shis is to certify that Hr. S&ward 
B. Chamberlain was formerly, for two years, an 
assistant of mine in Brown University. During 
this time I had abundant opportunity to become 
Intimately acquainted with him in a personal as 
well as a professional way. I can say with a 
clear conscience that he was an excellent all 
round scholar and fare great promise as a teacher 
and disciplinarian; a prom1st that 1 have every 
reason to believe has been fully realised in 
his later work elsewhere, after leaving Brown. 
Ha the bent of my knowledge and belief he has 
an excellent moral character, and is reliable 
and painstaking in his work. 
Very truly. 
In charge of the
