DR. PAUL REID accepts the Reuben B. Robertson Portrait at presentation ceremonies in Robertson Dormitory, as Mrs. Dan K. Moore, WCC Trustee, and Dr. Robertson (center) look on. R. B. Robertson Honored Here; Portrait Presented A man described as standing tall on the mountain horizon was honored Monday afternoon, July 16. The occasion was the presentation of a portrait of Reuben B. Robertson to Western Carolina College by his family. The scene was the lounge of the dormitory that was named for him 32 years ago in grateful recognition of distinctive and distinguished service to the college. Recipient of the honorary LL. D. degree from WCC, Robertson himself was here to accept the acclaim of his friends and of the officials of the institution. The portrait was presented to the college on behalf of the family by his son, Dr. Logan Robertson of Asheville. A long-time friend, Dr. D. Hiden Ramsey, a former Asheville newspaper executive, delivered the principal address and told of Robertson's great contributions over the years to Western Carolina College. Ramsey recalled that Robertson served from 1925 until 1930 as chairman of the college's board of trustees. "Those," he said, "were a- mong the most fruitful years of upgrowth of this college. It was during these years of his service that the college found a new sense of purpose and a new sense of dedication. "In the generation since then he has continued to make vast contributions ... to the college. "During all this time, the college has not only had his finan cial support but above all it has had the support of his wisdom. "Reuben B. Robertson is a tall man. A tall man in integrity and in allofness to the trival and petty things. "He's been a tall man, and still is, on the horizon of our section and of our state. This instiution owes a great deal to him." The portrait was accepted on behalf of the college by Philip Woollcott of Asheville, chairman of WCC's board of trustees, who said that Reuben Robertson had made it possible for many young people to get an education who otherwise would not have except for his contributions. Mrs. Dan K. Moore of Canton, a member of the board of trustees, presided at the ceremony. Dr. W. E. Bird, president- emeritus of WCC, and dean during the years when Robertson was chairman of the board of trustees, spoke the invocation. The benediction was pronounced by the Rev. J. S. Sparks, priest-in-charge of St. David's Episcopal Church of Cullowhee. Following the ceremony in Robertson Hall there was a tea on the lawn outside the building. The Robertson portrait will hang in the parlor of the hall. Robertson, who is 82, came to Western North Carolina shortly after the turn of the century. He is a former president and chairman of the board of Champion Papers Inc. and makes his home in Asheville. Capital funds requests totaling more than $8,800,000 for the 1963-65 biennium were placed before dollar-conscious mem- ol tin- Advisory Budget <>n July 18 by Western Carolina College. Dumping 15 begs in one ask-it, WCC submitted a request for $8,865,168. Included were a $2,200,000 item to build four 200-student dormitories, $1,042,200 to construct a new education and psychology unit, $1,645,000 for a new home economics, fine arts and music structure and $1,400,000 for a long-proposed college union (student center) building. Two of the dormitories, the college union and seven other major projects were approved In 1961 for inclusion In the state-wide bond issue which voters defeated earlier this year. In addition to the four dormitories and three other major buildings, WCC made request for these capital improvements: Addition to cafeteria, $151,000; a new cafeteria, $768,000; addition to Hunter Library, $503,- 000; renovations to Stillwell Building, $135,000; alterations and additions to physical education buildings, $65,000; addition to administration building, $125,000; playground and physical education fields at the new campus laboratory school, $25,000; addition to water system, $270,000; expansion of utilities, $200,000; campus improvements (walks, drives, landscaping, etc.), $75,000; campus laboratory school (adding shop and health and physical education building under alternate proposals in original contract), $261,168. President Paul Reid, during a presentation of the budget requests, agreed with several members of the commission that the proposed addition to the water system is probably the single most pressing project. College officials said the present system is inadequate to fill the growing needs of the college population and is in bad shape. A new dam, new pipeline from the reservoir and new storage facilities at the college are proposed. Almost equally as pressing, according to Robert Bowen of the Department of Administration, is the proposed $200,- 000 expansion of the campus heating facilities and other utilities. Bowen said a new modern boiler is urgently needed. The four proposed dormitories would house 200 students each. Two would be grouped with two dormitories now nearing completion and the cluster of four would be served by the proposed new cafeteria. The other two dorms proposed in the request would be located on another part of the campus. Reid gave heavy emphasis to the proposed college union, Hunter Library addition, education- psychology building and home ecfine arts-music department structure.
