Prof. Brown Serves At KU In Many Ways In 44 Years
During 44 years at Kansas. University, Frank L. Brown, professor of applied mechanics, designed the Memorial Stadium, helped to establish the engineer's alumni gallery, served as treasurer of the Marvin Loan Fund, and served as chairman of the applied mechanics department.
Five deans have served the School of Engineering and Architecture since Prof. Brown and his wife came to KU in 1913. Dean J. J. Jakosky, dean from 1940 to 1943, was a former student of Prof. Brown.
"The thing I have done for KU which I consider the most important is the structural design of Memorial Stadium," Prof. Brown said Monday night in an interview at his home.
"I did all the computation of stresses on the steel and the seat plan. There are no serious cracks in the walls like there are in many contemporary stadiums throughout the nation.
"Forrest C. (Phog) Allen had to take a lot of ridicule I remember when the stadium was first designed. They said it would never be filled," Prof. Brown said, laughing.
"I've served under all the deans of the School of Engineering and Architecture except Dean Marvin who left the year before I began to teach here," Prof. Brown said. "He was retiring because of failing health.
"A lot of credit has been given me for the alumni gallery in Marvin showing many of our famous graduates. The idea did not originate with me.
"We took names of our alumni out of "Who's Who in Engineering" and wrote them for pictures. About two-thirds of them responded. Since then the Dean's office has handled the job.
"Now that I'm retiring, I plan to rewrite a text book I wrote a number of years ago, and work in the
yard," Prof. Brown said, leaning back in his chair.
"I'll use the new camera that my former students gave me a few months ago in Kansas City, and get in some fishing. Then I'll be able to see more of my two daughters and my son.
The Salvation Army will take some of my time," he said with a deep feeling. "I am chairman of the advisory board here in Lawrence.
"I plan to remain in Lawrence. I have lived here so long that I hardly know any other home. I like the people."
