JORDAN In Memoriam Edward William Robinson was born in American Fork, July tenth, eighteen hundred sixty-seven, and died at the principal’s cottage. Sandy, Thursday April tenth, nineteen hundred twenty-four. In his early boyhood, he attended the district schools of his native town, and later became a student of the Biigham Young Academy at Provo. Subsequently he studied law at the University of Michigan, and was then admitted to the bar in his native state. Ilis love for service eaily drew him into public life, wheie he re- mained almost constantly until his untimely taking away. His first public service was that of an elementary teacher near his boyhood home. He then responded to the call of his church, and spent three years as a missionary in Europe and Western Asia. Upon his return to Utah, he was appointed a member of the faculty of the Utah Agri- cultural College at Logan, where he remained for a period of twelve years, attaining the position of professor of political science. Mr. Robinson, from eaily manhood, was interested in government. This interest led him to permit his name to go before the electorate of his adopted city and county. He was twice elected mayor of Logan and a member of the lower house in the state legislature, where he served as speaker both terms. For a brief period he moved to Southern California, where he en- tered the real-estate business. But this field did not satisfy his love for service, so he returned to the teaching profession and accepted the principalship of the Park City High School, until on July fifteenth, nineteen hundred twenty, he was elected principal of the Jordan High, which position he held at the time of his death. Mr. Robinson early endeared himself to the hearts of the students at Jordan, and the love, respect, and esteem in which he was held in- creased with each added day of association. , As a teacher, he was most inspiring and stimulating. His class work was frequently punctuated with humorous illustrations taken from his varied experiences in life, and his ability to reduce to concrete ex ample the abstract principles involved, made lasting impressions on the minds of his students. He was a teacher of rare ability. As an administrator, we are convinced that he had few equals and no superiors. He directed the affairs of our school without apparent effort, and yet with such signal success as to challenge the admiration of students, faculty, school officials, and patrons alike. He was a prin- cipal of unqualified success. That Jordan High School has suffered an irreparable loss in the passing away of our beloved principal, this record of his life and his accomplishments—far more splendid and enduring than any memorial that could be erected to him—will show. Can that man be dead whose spiritual influence is on liis kindt”
