Death of Prof C A Brownson Recalls Education Advocate
The death of Prof. C. A. Brownson at his home on a Friday morning in April ends a career devoted to public schools in Dubuque.

An avid reader and chess enthusiast, he edited the Chess Journal and left a legacy as a tireless educator and mentor to many now prominent in business and professions. The report also notes chess matches, tournament results, and notices from the Chess Editor Scholastic Globe in London.
