I look forward to meeting you and your fellow students from around the world at our Orientation for New Students on August 31, 2012. This guide will help prepare you for the early days of your graduate experience. It provides information on life at Brown and living in Rhode Island. Important dates, contacts, and resources are highlighted for you. I hope this information will be useful to you, and I encourage you to engage in our vibrant campus community. Thank you for choosing Brown! Sincerely, Peter M. Weber Dean of the Graduate School 4 | Guide to Brown | MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN About Brown Brief History Brown’s climate of openness and cooperation can be traced back to its founding as the third college in New England and the seventh in America. Brown was the Baptist answer to Congregationalist Yale and Harvard, Presbyterian Princeton, and Episcopalian Penn and Columbia. It welcomed students of all religious persuasions (following the example of Roger Williams, who founded Rhode Island in 1636 on the same principle). Brown has long since shed its Baptist affiliation, but it remains dedicated to diversity and intellectual freedom. Founded in 1764 as the College of Rhode Island in Warren, Rhode Island, the school registered its first students in 1765. It moved in 1770 to its present location on College Hill, overlooking the capital city of Providence. Graduate study at Brown University began in 1850, when a provision was made for the awarding of the master’s degree upon successful completion of one year of academic work beyond the bachelor’s degree. This system was discontinued in 1857. The more modern tradition of graduate study at Brown began in 1887, when the faculty and fellows agreed to publish in the following year’s catalog rules for the awarding of both the master’s and the Ph.D. degree in regular programs of advanced work. The first master’s degrees under the new plan were granted in 1888 and the first Ph.D.s in 1889. Brown Basics • Brown’s motto is In Deo Speramus – In God We Hope. The University colors are red and brown. • The University mascot is the bear. The costumed bear mascot that appears at athletic games is named Bruno. • The University employs just under 700 full-time faculty members, all of whom teach undergraduate, graduate, or medical students. • The main campus occupies 151.7 acres on the East Side of Providence and in the Knowledge District, including 245 buildings. The University also owns 372 acres at Mount Hope in Bristol, R.I. • Between 2001 and 2012, Brown increased its campus research buildings by 38 percent and its laboratory research space by 25 percent. Traditions Brown has some proud traditions going back decades and even centuries. Some of the practices observed at Brown are listed below. • The Van Wickle Gates are opened only twice a year: inward toward the campus on the day of Opening Convocation and outward down the hill on Commencement Day. • When you are in need of some good luck, wander over to the John Hay Library and rub the nose of the statue of John Hay. This charm supposedly has been effective since 1910.

New Student Orientation Each year the Graduate School organizes an orientation program for new graduate students. New Student Orientation offers an introduction to Brown, the Graduate School, and academic life, as well as social and health issues on campus, security matters, and other important information for all first-time Brown gradu- ate students. New Student Orientation for the 2012–13 academic year will take place on Friday, August 31, 2012. Please consult the Graduate School’s online calendar in July for the final time and details on this year’s program. Many departments and programs also offer specialized orientations for their incoming students. There is also an additional orientation program for international students on Friday, August 24, 2012. For details please contact the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (see page 25 for the section on International Students). Student Gateway and Calendars The Graduate School provides an online listing of important dates and deadlines for fellowship applica- tions, award nominations, academic deadlines, and other dates related to registration and orientation in the For Students gateway on the website. Events specifically for graduate students are listed on the Graduate School calendar. Once students have registered for and activated their Brown email addresses (see the section on Computing and Information Services), they are able to download events to a Google or desktop calendar, register for reminders about upcoming events or deadlines, email information on an event or post it to Facebook. All University calen- dars are located at http://events.brown.edu/cal/main/showMain.rdo. Directors of Graduate Study Every department or program offering a graduate-level degree at the University has a director of graduate study (DGS). Faculty members who act as the primary liaisons between graduate students and the Graduate School, DGSs are responsible for all graduate-student issues in their respective programs. DGSs are expect- ed to send annual updates to graduate students informing them of their academic standing and progress and are the primary point of contact for students who need to make special requests regarding admission, appointments, leaves of absence, etc. 6 | Guide to Brown | ABOUT THE GRADUATE SCHOOL Graduate School Governance The Graduate Council sets policy for the Graduate School, subject to the approval of the faculty and the Board of Fellows. Such policy includes the conditions for admission, the supervision of degree require- ments, the approval process for new courses and other modifications of existing degree programs, and ap- proval and recommendations to the faculty regarding new degree programs. Graduate Student Council The Graduate Student Council congratulates you on your decision to join the Graduate School at Brown. The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is the official organization for graduate students of Brown University. The GSC organizes social events and free classes to bring people across departments into contact with one another. To support graduate academic life, the GSC offers financial support for graduate student-driven events and for graduate students to attend conferences. It also serves as a forum for graduate student con- cerns. Every month, the GSC convenes in the Graduate Lounge to discuss issues affecting our academic and non-academic lives.

  • Books at Brown
    BOOKS AT BROWN VOL. I, NO. 2. Ifilillii SEPTEMBER, I938 PUBLISHED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY OF BROWN UNIVERSITY JOHN HAY On the 8th day of October in the year 1838, John Hay was born in the pioneer town of Salem, Indiana. His mother, born in Assonet, Massachusetts, in 1803, was a Leonard and his maternal grandfather, David Augustus Leonard, had attended Brown Uni­ versity (then Rhode Island College) in the Class of 1792. This New England connection drew the youth, John Milton Hay, when of college age, to Brown. His subsequent career has placed him in the very highest esteem among the University's alumni. During October, from the 24th through the 30th, there will be an exhibition of John Hay memorabilia in the Harris Room of the Library. On the evening of October 26th the Friends of the Li­ brary will hold their October meeting in the Harris Room at eight o'clock and members will have an opportunity to view the exhibit. The exhibition will include examples of Hay's published and private works, autograph letters, pictures, and his college records. Early letters of Hay are extremely rare as most of them were addressed to his family and were subsequently destroyed. During the brief interval between his graduation from Brown and his departure for Washington to become Lincoln's private secretary, he suffered from, or perhaps we should say, indulged in, "Leonard Melancholy." This period it is hoped will be repre­ sented by copy No. 1 of Caroline Tichnor's book, A Poet in Exile, which has the original letters bound in.
