Biirt Weec Loomis
Is he a Northerner? On‘
branch of his family comes from
Masst'.chusetts. Or is he a South
erner? The other parent is a nat
ive of Virginia. And Burt Weed
Loomis himself hails from a Bel
grade, Missouri farm. If you ask
me, h=’s another victim of the
“melting-pot”. Dr. Loomis" an-
cesters on the paternal side owned
Sagimore Hill on Long Island be
fore Theodore Roosevelt bought
it, and his mother’s peop'e were
directly related to Jefferson
Davis. What a man!
Dr. Loomis has made his own
way since h ^ was seve.'iteen years
old. He received his Normal Di
ploma from Missouri State Col
lege, located at Cape Girideau.
He wa^ principal of Fla*-, Rivjr
High Sehoal, Misso'iri f) r five
years after graduation: but he
decided that he needed some
more education. He then matric
ulated at the University of Mis
souri and received a B. S. degree,
went on to Columbia University,
New York, and graduated with a
Master’s degree. While Dr. Loom
is was in college, h ! belonged to
many honorary, social, and fra
ternal organizations among which
are the Phi Delta Kappa, and Phi
Gamma Mu.
When Dr. Loomis had received
his M. A., he entered immediate
ly into the field of Education. He
was superintendent of schools at
Ironton, Missouri, for three yearri
professor of psychology at Mis
souri State Teacher’s College in
Wirransb j rgh for five years, and
State High S3hojl Inspector for
Missouri after that. Then Dr.
Loomis went to Perry Point, Ma
ryland, where he was made train
ing officer of the Federal Board
for Voctional Education. He was
connected with the rehabilitation
department. After this work was
completed. Dr. Loomis went back
to another state teacher’s college
in Missouri. This one is located
at Maryville. Here he was head
of the department of Education.
Dr. Loomis became superintend
ent of schools at Flat River.'
Dr. Loomis began thinking one
day that he did not know enough
to suit himself, .so he packed up
and went to Peabody College;
and in 1932 he received his Ph.D.
He was connected with the fac
ulty of Limestone College for
four years, and this year he join
ed us. We feel very fortunate in
deed to have such a person among
us.
Dr. Loomis is a man to be hon
ored for his pers''rverence. He
has really made education a ca
reer.
