Robertson Residence Hall
Robertson Hall is named after former college board chairman Reuben B. Robertson. Robertson served as President and Chairman of the Board of Champion Paper & Fiber Company in Canton. Robertson is credited as the first person in the paper industry to start a "tree farm" program for paper mills - treating trees like any other farm product. He was named "Man of the South" for the 1950s being cited for his leadership in the field of human relations, forest conservation and exponent of American free enterprise.
