传纪历史
George L. Brown was born on January 25, 1869, on a farm in Bates County, Missouri. He attended a rural school before enrolling in a preparatory program at the University of Missouri, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1892. Two years after graduating, Brown joined the faculty of the University of Missouri as an instructor in mathematics while completing his Master of Science degree in mathematics. He later pursued advanced study at the University of Chicago, where he completed a fellowship and earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in mathematics.
In February 1897, Brown was appointed professor of mathematics and astronomy at what was then South Dakota State College. He served the institution for approximately fifty years, holding multiple administrative roles including dean and vice president. During his tenure, he served as acting president on five occasions and was awarded the title of president emeritus in 1944.
Brown married Winifred G. Loucks of Deuel County in 1898. They had three children, one son, Cecil, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Florence. Following Winifred’s death in 1908, Brown married Anna York Loucks of Brookings in 1910. Their marriage produced six children in total, including two sons, George Jr. and Gerald, and four daughters, Winifred and Charlotte among them.
George L. Brown died on August 8, 1950.
