William Herbert Perry Faunce, President of Brown University MDCCCXCIX-MDCCCCXXIX: Addresses at the Memorial Service in Sayles Hall, February 22, 1930, with the Tribute Given Over the Radio by President Clarence A. Barbour

This volume was published in 1930 to commemorate the life and legacy of William Herbert Perry Faunce, who served as the president of Brown University for thirty years, from 1899 to 1929. The book serves as a formal archival record of the memorial proceedings held at Sayles Hall on February 22, 1930, capturing the profound respect the academic community held for his transformative tenure, during which he oversaw significant growth in both the physical campus and the institution's intellectual reputation.

The publication includes the addresses delivered during the memorial service and features a unique inclusion: a transcript of the radio tribute provided by his successor, Clarence A. Barbour. As a commemorative university document, the design is understated and academic, reflecting the solemnity of the occasion and the formal traditions of the Ivy League during the early twentieth century. It remains a key historical resource for scholars interested in the administrative history of Brown University and the evolving nature of American collegiate leadership during that era.
