Charted in 1912-13 by American ornithologist and naturalist Robert Cushman Murphy, who visited South Georgia aboard the sealing brig Daisy of New Bedford, Massachusetts under Captain Benjamin D. Cleveland in 1912-13. Murphy named the glacier for his alma mater, Brown University. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC).
