University of Pennsylvania. South Asia regional studies department
Variant namesFrom 1926 when he was awarded the chair of Sanskrit at the University of Pennsylvania, W. Norman Brown worked tirelessly to enhance the study of the South Asia subcontinent. World War II provided Brown with the opportunity to train soldiers in the language and culture of the India area. By the summer of 1947 Brown's summer program, "India: A Program of Regional Studies" was being offered at Penn. Offerings continued to be expanded until a full program was available in the 1949-1950 academic year.
