Typescript, "William LeRoy Broun, 1827-1902", by George Petrie

Copy, 12 pages. Apparently written shortly after Broun's death. Dr. Petrie relates his coming to Auburn in 1887 shortly after the fire had demolished the College building and the makeshift arrangements until the new building was completed. He describes Dr. Broun on first meeting him, recounts incidents and examples that reflect his qualities as a man and as a teacher as Dr. Petrie knew him through the years. Also included is a biographical sketch of Dr. Broun, including his early years, Civil War record, and particularly Broun's philosophy of the type of education needed in a post-Civil War South.
