ABSTRACT
Harry Gunnison Brown's contributions as an educator are worthy of separate consideration. Brown wrote a series of articles on the teaching of economics in the late 1940s. One, "Objectives and Methods in Teaching the 'Principles' of Economics," listed economic fallacies to which students were likely to have been exposed. Many of Brown's students achieved prominence in the field of economics or in related areas. Brown thought that courses in economics should not stop with the mastery of economic principles but should extend to the relationship of these principles to the welfare of society. Brown's political philosophy permeated the text. He lost no opportunity to make application of economic analysis to questions of public policy. The true extent or Brown's legacy as an educator or course is impossible to measure. Beyond the thousands who heard him in classrooms and read his texts, several thousand more heard him speak to commercial, social, and academic groups.
