This subject is written on a topic in the real world and reflects factual information. Brown University is an Ivy League college located in Providence, Rhode Island. It was H. P. Lovecraft's ambition to attend Brown to study astronomy; his failure to graduate from high school, which thwarted his academic plans, was a source of shame to him in later years.[1] Brown is now the repository of Lovecraft's papers.[2]

In the Mythos[]

Brown is believed to be the main model for Lovecraft's fictional Miskatonic University (source?).
