HENRY V. ROBINSON
In June, Henry V. "Dean Rob" Robinson died in Jacksonville after an extended
illness. He was 89 years old. Born in Jewett, Texas, he received a bachelor and
master degree from the University of Texas.

After serving in the US Navy during World War I, he became superintendent of
the Jewett School District where he established the criteria that gave the
school accreditation by the State of Texas. In 1931, he moved to Jacksonville
where he first taught and later became dean/registrar during his 35 year tenure
at LMC. He retired in 1966 at the age of 70 after serving in the field of
education for 53 years.

His wife, Maudine Taylor Robinson, preceded him in death in June 1985. Dr. C.
E. Peeples, president emeritus of LMC, remembers Dean Rob ... "In the 51 years
that I had known and been associated with Dean Rob, I never heard him complain
about the circumstances he found himself in." Dr. Peeples pointed out that Dean
Rob either accepted the circumstances or found a way to overcome or improve
upon them. He was very active in establishing endowments and helping students
receive scholarships.

The H. V. & Maudine Robinson Endowment Fund has been established at Lon Morris
in memory of "Dean Rob" and his dedication to Methodist higher education.
