The collection includes William Fuller Brown's University of Minnesota administrative records and records from committee meetings, his electrical engineering teaching and advising records (including records of M.S. and Ph. D. exams), research plans and proposals, course notes for development, and records of external committee activities.
Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia in 1937. After completing his Ph.D., Brown worked on degausing at the Naval Ordinance Laboratory, then on geophysical and production problems for Sun Oil, and on magnetic problems for 3M, which led him to Minnesota. Brown was concerned with the teaching of electromagnetic theory, and in addition to his laboratory research, he authored several books and articles such as Magnetoelastic Interactions , 1966. In 1967, he receive the A. Cressy Morrison Award in Natural Sciences for a paper titled "The Fundamental Theorem of the Theory of Fine Ferromagnetic Particles." His most notable achievement was his help in developing the magnetic recording tape for 3M. Brown taught electrical engineering at the University of Minnesota until his retirement in 1973.
