Roger Douglas Branigin 1 902-1 975 l On November 19, 1975 one of Franklin College's greatest ben- efactors, Roger Douglas Branigin, died. Branigin, a member of the class of 1923, was a college trustee from 1937 until his death. He served as chairman and honorary chairman ofthe board. An active alumnus, Branigin was an indefatigable worker for his alma mater. He originated and personally built up the David Demaree Banta Historical Collections in the college library. The col- lection consists of books about Indiana and history of the North- west Territory that he acquired during his lifetime. He also gave the college a number of priceless articles, including papers and documents of his tenure as 42nd Governor of the State of Indiana, 1965-1969. Branigin and his wife, Josephine, also an alumnae, presented the campus with a set of chimes in memory of his brothers who were also graduates of the college. The chimes ring out the hours and play a variety of songs three times a day. Former President Wesley Haines said, Nothing during his alumni years was built, programmed or done here without Roger Branigin having a strong hand in it, financially, in wisdom, input, and otherwise. Acting President Richard M. Park expressed his death as the passing not only ofa friend but of an era of Franklin College. He will be long remembered by those who knew him and others through his contributions to country, state, community and his alma mater.
