| Description | Portrait of the "fourth president [1895-1904] of Lehigh University, Thomas Messinger Drown, LL.D . Dr. Drown was educated at the Philadelphia Central High School and received the degree of M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1859. He afterwards studied at Yale and Harvard and, later on, at Freiburg, Heidelberg and Paris. Upon his return to America he entered upon his career as a teacher at Harvard and was Professor of Chemistry at Lafayette from 1874 to 1881. He was Secretary of the American Institute of Mining Engineers and editor of its transactions from 1873 until 1883. In 1885 he became Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he built up a large and successful department, which at the time of his resignation had in it twenty-one instructors of all grades and 500 students. As Chemist of the Massachusetts State Board of Health since 1887, he has done much for the health of the cities by his investigations into the condition of the drinking water supplied to them, and his map of "Natural Chlorine in the Water of Massachusetts" is of great value in showing the sanitary quality of the streams thus employed. His various scientific labors have won for him an enviable reputation, and his great success in stimulating young men to real effort in study and investigation has placed him in the from rank of American educators."
