(Continued on page 4) One may define a great man as a “noble individual of lofty position”; such a description would fit Dr. Cecil W. Robbins, President of Louisburg College. Dignity, moral excellence, Cnristian leadership, and educational distinction characterize our college president. The greatness of a school may be measured not only by the honors accorded its graduates, but by the accomplishments of its leaders. In these matters, we have reason to be proud; and in the latter respect, we may well boast with pride of our distinguished chief officer. Dr. Cecil Wayne Robbins was born in Shannon, Mississippi, De cember 8, 1906. Upon graduation in 1927 from Shannon High School, he matriculated at Birmingham Southern where he received his A.B. degree, Cum Laude, in 1931. North Carolina’s Duke University confer red his B.D. degree in 1933 which was later followed by the Litt.D. degree in 1953 from High Point College, and D.D. degree from Bir mingham Southern in 1956. Dr. Robbins’ fraternities include ODK, Sigma Upsilon, Phi Gamma Mu, and Sigma Chi. In addition to member ship in these honorary, academic, and social fraternities. Dr. Robbins was active during his college years in editorial and staff positions on several college publications. Dr. Robbins’ active Christian leadership dates back many years, but a significant date was 1932 when he joined the North Carolina Meth odist Conference. In 1934 he was ordained Deacon, 1936 ordained Elder, and in 1959 and 1960, Presi dent of the North Carolina Council of Churches. In addition to having served five pastorates in the North Carolina Methodist Conference, Dr. Robbins was also Editor and Man ager of the North Carolina Christian Advocate for 6V2 years prior to his election to the Presidency of Louis burg College in 1955. In 1952, 1956, and 1964, Dr. Robbins was a Delegate to the General and Juris dictional Conference of the Meth odist Church. Dr. Robbins is a member of the Board of Social Con cerns of the Methodist Church, a member of the Executive Committee of the Methodist Historical Society of the Southeastern Jurisdiction, and a member of the Executive Com mittee of the North Carolina College Conference. Dr. Robbins was married to the former Eloise Harris Sorrell, daugh ter of Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Sorrell of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. They have one son, William Robert Robbins, and one granddaughter, Faye Eloise Robbins. Among the tangibles credited to President Robbins, in relation to Louisburg College, have been the additions to the school’s physical plant. The enrollment has doubled since Dr. Robbins took over in 1955. Among those intangibles, which perhaps to a great extent signify the distinction of leadership, have been Dr. Robbins’ encouragement of a unique school environment which fosters the development of Christian education of a high academic cali bre. Dr. Robbins strongly believes in the need of two-year colleges. DR. ROBBINS, WE SALUTE YOU! V. G. Locks Campus Concert Captivates Crowds Louisburg students, faculty and friends enjoyed the first of a series of college concerts scheduled for the coming academic year. The Glenn Miller Orchestra, conducted by Ray McKinley, offered all the great Mil ler favorites for the listening pleas ure of Glenn Miller fans and for those who simply appreciate sweet music. RCA Victor has reported that the audience for Glenn Miller music is one of the largest in the last twenty- five years. The present orchestra, under the supervision of the late Glenn Miller’s estate, has been play ing with worldwide success. Except for the Lawrence Welk Show, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is the only band to have its own television show in the past seven years. Ray McKinley has guided the Orchestra through its many tri umphs, and has preserved all the freshness and genius of the great Miller heritage.
