Dr. Brown was also responsible for reorganizing the Far Eastern Association into the Association of Asian Studies. He was President of this Association in 1960-61. He was also the first President of the American Institute of Indian Studies founded in 1961. It has been rightly recorded in the Preface of Indological Studies In Honor of W. Norman Brown (1962) edited by Earnest Bender :
"The American Oriental Society, for its part, has long looked upon W. Norman Brown as one of its mainstays, an illustrious exponent of the place of the Orient within the total human experience."
We deeply mourn the death of Dr. Brown.
