Dame Beryl Paston Brown, DBE (7 March 1909 – 25 July 1997) was a British academic and educator.
Beryl Paston Brown was born in London and educated at Streatham Hill High School and Newnham College, Cambridge.
She did a teacher training course in London, however the Great Depression made it very difficult to secure a teaching post.
A proposal for the establishment of the B.Ed to the Council of the Senate of Cambridge University was first turned down in 1966, for fear of lowering standards, but was eventually approved in the 1970s with the assistance of Newnham College.
[3] Dame Beryl Paston Brown died in Lewes, East Sussex in 1997, aged 88, from undisclosed causes.
