Glowing
Tributes
paid to
Hamilton
McMillan
"I only wish that all of his
(HamBton McMillan's] grand
children. great grandchildren
and their children could have
been here today to hear this.
I'm sure they too would have
been very proud.".
Miss Jane McMillan of Red
Springs, a retired school
teacher who taught for 39
years, voiced the sentiments
of her family Tuesday at
t Pembroke State University
. at the outpouring of attention
for Hamilton McMillan (1837
1916). a state legislator from
Robeson County who was one
of the founders of Pembroke
State University.
Three other of McMillan's
grandchildren were at PSU for
the memorial tribute in his
honor. They were HamBton
McMillan and Mlgnon Me
Mlllan, both of Red Springs,
and Catherine McMillim Tu
dor of Anderson, SC. A great
grandson, E.H. Alexander of
Red Springs, was also pres
ent. The PSU Native Ameri
can Resource Center was
packed for the occasion.
At the time of McMillan's
introducing legislation in 1885
in the General Assembly,
Indians of Robeson County
were denied ?enhoolw,Of their
own and were not recognized
as a people. McMillan's legis
lation gave these Indians a
name and provided that they
and their descendants would
have "separate schools for
their children, school commit
ICCS UI UICU WWII fliiu
color, and shall be allowed to
select teachers of their own
choice..."
McMillan also sponsored
and the legislature passed
"an act to establish a normal
school in the County of
Robeson." The state approp
riated $500 toward this cause
and what became Pembroke
State University was born in
1887.
"This is a historical occa
sion, one that is long over
due," said Adoiph Dial, chair
man of PSU's American In
dian Studies Department who
is chairman of the Hamilton
McMillan Memorial Commit
tee. "Hamilton McMillan was
a friend to the Indian people
and all people of Robeson
County. As a legislator, he
was one of North Carolina';,
finest."
Welton Lowry, who gave
the invocation for the occasion
praised McMillan as "a man
who was bold enough to step
out."
? Dr. Dalton Broeks, director
of institutional research at
PSU. read with eloquence and
enthusiasm a poem about
McMillan. ?
Lew Barton, Pembroke his
torian and man whose idea it
was to have a Hamilton
McMillan Memmorial, said
"My heart is filled today.
Hamilton McMillan died two
years before 1 was born. He
brought blessings to so many
Robesonians?not just In
dians. He brought the great
results we see today. He was
a man like no other man. He
was great at everything he
attempted. We Indians didn't
have many friends, but he
was one of them, and he
transformed our lives. I can't
talk about him without being
emotional. I've heard the
older people talk about turn
about what a man he was and
how he touched our lives. He
was a man of courage with a
great humanitarian spirit.
People loved him. They told
me how much they loved him.
He fashioned the world for me
before 1 was born-and he'll
never be forgotten as long as
there are Indian people."
Clifton Oxeodine, former
PSU dean and professor
emeritus, said: "Hamilton
McMillan was the greatect
benefactor tfie Robeson Iff#!
dians ever had. We've been
too slow to honor him. Our
gratitude has been too slow.
Today we'd like to pay that
debt. He did more for the
Indian people as a people than
Anv man I know Hp wa? a
historian of the first order. He
evolved the theory that our
people were descendents of
the Lost Colony at Manteo.
He was a citizen of the first
order in all areas of life. And
he was a friend and a brother
to the Lumbee Indians."
Jane McMillan, who acted
as spokesman for the McMil
lan family, said: "Today, we
are thankful that Hamilton
McMillan was one of those
forefathers who had faith in
education-particularly that
he had faith in the education
of the Robeson County In
dian's. Without their own
schools and no compulsory
school laws, it would have
been easy for their education
to be neglected. We are
therefore thankful and proud
that he played a small but we
hope important part in the
beginning of this great Uni
versity. We are also thankful
for men like W.L. Moore and
many others who had quite a
struggle to keep the school
going and refused to give up
when the going got rough."
Miss McMillan added:
"We are grateful for the *
many tributes paid to our
grandfathef, Hamilton Mc
Millan. through the years and
the outstanding tribute paid
to him today. 1 only wish that
all his grandchildren, great
grandchildren and their child
ren could have been here to
hear this. I'm sure they too
would have been very proud. j
On behalf of the family, I
would like to say thank you."*;

WOMENS TENNIS TEAM
LOOKING FORWARD TO A
GOODYEAR
PSU's women's tennis
Coach Ann Webb is optimistic
about the Lady Braves' sea
son in 1982-83.
And it is no wonder as the
netters have several strong
returnees and some talented
newcomers.
"This year's team has the
most talent we've ever had at
Pembroke State," observed
Coach Webb, who is also
Assistant Athletic Director at
PSU. "We are looking for
ward to a good year."
Coach Webb continued,
"We will be strong at the top
of our ladder with Britt at
number "one, Carter at num
ber two, and Caviness at No.
3." Making the No. 1 spot
stronger in the spring will be
the addition of freshman
Monica Hamm of Goidsboro.
At the No. 1 singles spot
will be senior Byrd Britt of
Lumbcrton. "Byrd is very
strong fundamentally. She
knows the game and how to
play it. She is capable of
winning it all in the number
one position," Coach Webb
added.
The No. 2 singles position
will be filled by junior Kay
Carter of Lumberton. Coach,
Webb added, "Kay got lotrbf
valuable experience last
spring in the first position.
She is on top of her game and
ready."
The No. 3 and No. 4 singles
spots will be managed by
freshman Betsy Smith of St.
Pauls and senior Debbie
Caviness of Goidsboro. "Bet
sy played No. 1 at St. Pauls
last year and is a very nice
addition to the team. She
gives us the depth we need."
The other team members
include No. 5 singles player
senior Julie Hall of Mt.
Gilead, No. 6 singles perform
er freshman Tonya Lynam of
Wake Forest, sophomore
Kathy Gooden of Clarkton,
and freshman Carta Hobbs of

"Our toughest opponents

Webb, "and both of those
