SELWYN AUBREY ROBINSON, Rancher. Selwyn A. Robinson was born at Makaweli, 
Kauai, Aug. 14, 1892, the son of Aubrey and Alice (Gay) Robinson. After 
receiving his preliminary education at Berkeley High School, California, and 
in Boston, Mass., he graduated in 1916 from Harvard University, receiving the 
degree of A. B. After a short period as bookkeeper for Gay & Robinson at 
Makaweli, he returned to Harvard, taking a course of study at the Graduate 
School of Business Administration, from which he returned in 1917 to become 
assistant manager of the Gay & Robinson interests at Makaweli, Kauai, and 
manager of the island of Niihau. In 1922 Mr. Robinson was married to Etherl 
Nowell of Berkley, California. In the same year he resigned his position on 
the island of Niihau to become manager of the Gay & Robinson cattle ranch at 
Makaweli. On this ranch a considerable herd of Devon and Shorthorn cattle is 
maintained, Devons being considered the best suited for the rough mountain 
country which comprises a large portion of the ranch lands. Considerable 
progress has also been made in pasturage improvement, tree planting, and the 
extermination of goats and wild cattle in the forest lands of Makaweli.
