Brooke, who recently turned 100 years old, earned a degree in home economics from the U of S in 1935, a BA in 1965 and a PhD in geological Sciences in 1971. The naming recognizes Brooke's heroic efforts to save a nursing-sister colleague after the torpedoing of the Newfoundland Ferry SS Caribou on October 14, 1942, in the Cabot Strait off Newfoundland.
