A New Englander born into modest means, Harry Fletcher Brown was a chemist who developed smokeless powder. In 1904, he joined the Du Pont Company and later became a benefactor of education and social services.

Mr. Brown was an intense, energetic man of few words. As a University Trustee, he financed construction of this laboratory, of its mirror image on The Green, Hullihen Hall, and of an enlargement to Memorial Hall. He also helped attract important faculty to the University, including Allan P. Colburn, who fostered the growth of the Department of Chemical Engineering.

Several faculty members hold H. Fletcher Brown Professorships, a fitting legacy for a man whose state goal was to combine sound teaching and productive research.
