Dr. Robert Franklin Poole, our venerable and es- teemed president for eighteen years, terminated an exemplary life as educator, scholar, administrator, and gentleman on June 6, 1958. Dr. Poole and Clemson College were born the same year. As both institutions grew and prospered, they encountered each other, loved each other, and became so closely associated that they were often regarded as one. Dr. Poole remains with Clemson in its physical evidence, its atmosphere, and its spirit. His personality remains indelibly stamped on the college. His eighteen years as president of Clemson were great years of progress for the college. At the beginning of his presidency he had the difficult task of guiding the college through the rough war period and the era of postwar inflation. In more recent years he supervised Clemson ' s transition from a small state school to a major educational institution. His activities along these lines and all of his presidential activities were charac- terized by capable leadership, wise administration, and careful planning for the future. His tall, elegant figure, his great wisdom, his guid- ance, his warm smile, his casual charm— everything that Dr. Poole represented— will be sorely missed. Quoting from one of the many post-mortem articles concerning this eminent leader: Robert Franklin Poole ' s legacy is a greater, more prosperous, and happier South Caro- lina. His memory, his works, and his spirit of Clemson will linger with the untold generations to come. His monument is Clemson. In Memoriam DR. ROBERT FRANKLIN POOLE 23
