Brown Amends

Like the University of Chicago, to which John D. Rockefeller Sr. gave millions, Brown University, which educated John D. ("Phi Beta Kappa") Rockefeller Jr., had a clause in its charter requiring that its president be a Baptist. Last week the Brown Corporation abrogated this clause.

However, it elected Baptist Dr. C. A. Barbour, President of the Rochester Theological Seminary, a trustee to succeed the late A. C. Bedford (Standard Oil).
