Brown hosts Penn in its final "home" game at Brown Stadium on Saturday, October 28 at 12:30pm. Both teams are seeking their first Ivy League win of the season. Brown Athletics, in conjunction with the Brown Football Association, is sponsoring Salute To Service Day, honoring all branches of the Armed Forces, along with our first responders - police and firefighters. Saturday's honorary captain is noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. Augustus A. White III ’57, the first African American graduate from the Stanford University School of Medicine, where he was president of the student body. He received a Bronze Star for his work as a captain serving with the U.S. Army Medical Corps during the Vietnam War. Dr. White served as chief of the orthopedic surgery department at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, and founded the academic orthopedic program at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
