Biographical Note
Rachel Fuller Brown (1898-1980) began graduate study in chemistry at the University in 1920
after graduating from Mount Holyoke College. She received her M.A. in Chemistry in 1921
and, in 1926, after completing her course work for a doctorate, went to work for the New York
State Department of Health's Laboratories and Research Division. Brown spent the next fortythree years there working and researching in the area of antibiotics. In 1933 she received her
Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University.
