Biographical history
J.G. Brown was born in Lakefield, Ontario and received his university and theological education in Toronto. After a few years in pastoral work in Ontario, he came to British Columbia and ministered in several congregations. Later, he was appointed to the Principalship of Ryerson Theological College. When, in 1927, Ryerson College and Westminster Hall were merged, he became the first Principal of Union College of British Columbia, affiliated with UBC. Under his administration, the main Union College buildings on campus were erected. He successfully faced the difficult task of guiding the College through the Depression and then World War II. After his retirement in 1948, he lived for three years in Oxford, England, until his return to British Columbia, where he assumed the pastorate of the Church of Our Lord in Victoria.
