Idea Of Statue Was I)r. Adidph Dial's
The idea of erecting a statue honoring Hamilton McMillan
as one of the founders of PSU was the idea of IV. Adidph Dial,
chairman of the PSU American Indian Studies Department,
His committee raised the money for the statue, picked the
sculptor |Paul Van Zandt, chairman of the !*SU Art
Department), chose the site. etc.
His committee consisted of Jacl; Sltnrpe, who also spoke at
the dedication; Lew Barton, Native American historian; Dr.
Clifton Oxendxne, professor emeritus of l'SU and its former
dean; and R.D. McMillan, former stale legislator from Red
Springs who is no relation to Hamilton McMillan.
The inscription on the marker under McMillan's statue
says: "Honorable Hamilton McMillan. 1837 1915. State
legislator, educator and historian. Sponsored legislation in
1885 establishing public schools for Indians of Robeson
County. In 1887 he introduced legislation to establish Croftari
Normal School -now Pembroke State University. Krected , ?
March 5, 1987." <
McMillans TravelIs fig Distances To Attend
The descendants of McMillan numbered 10 at the
dedication ceremonies for the statue and came from point* as
distant as Houston, Tex., Jacksonville. Ha., Anderson, &C; ;?*
and Columbia. S.C. !-!-!
The unveiling of the statue was done by Richard William
Can, Jr., a great-great grandson from Jacksonville. Ha.,
assisted by his sister, Betsy, and John Tudor, a great. ? *.
grandson from Columbia. S.C.
Spokesperson for the group was .hue McMillan, who like;?;
her sister Mignon lives in Red Springs. Ms. McMillan;
responded to the accolades paid her grandfather in this way!;*
"We are thankful for our grandfather, Hamilton McMillan!-*
who was one of those forefathers who believed in education
and particularly in the education of Robeson Couqty Indians!
Without their own schools and no compulsory school laws, it
would have been easy for their education to have been'
neglected. We are also proud that he played a strong and. we
hope, an important part in the founding of this gn-ai .
university. We are also thankful for all of the other men who
had quite a struggle to keep the school going and refused to
give up when the going got tough."
Pisauo's Efforts Arr StUutnl
After it was announced by F>r. Joseph Sandlin. co-chairman
of PSLTs centennial fund raising committee. that PSU had
surpassed its $ 1 million goal at Friday's Centennial Founder's
Day Banquet, Chancellor Paul (livens saluted the efforts of
Dr. Richanl PUvhu, l"Sl' vice-chancellor for institutional
advancement who coordinated the efforts.
Givens, addressing the audience of 323, said: "I want you to
help me give special thanks (o Richard Pisano. Dick Pisano has
kept bugging me and hugged Joe Sandlin and hugged all of us
to get moving to raise this money- and 1 want to express iny
special appreciation to Richard Pisano."
