Biography
Dr. John Jackson Brown (1820-1891) was a Syracuse University professor of physics and chemistry from the earliest days of the University in 1871 to 1889. He was an alumnus of Genesee College (A.M., 1860) and held honorary degrees from Syracuse University (A.M., 1874) and McKendree College (LL.D., 1879). Before joining Syracuse University, Brown was a professor at Cornell University. He was made a professor emeritus at Syracuse University upon retiring
