| A familiar and eccentric presence on campus for many years, Leo V. Robinson was born in Petersham (or Pelham), Mass., on July 5, 1886, the son of Franklin D. and Elizabeth A. Dean Robinson. A veteran of the First World War, Robinson attended the two-year course in practical agriculture at Massachusetts Agriculture College as a Federal Student (the equivalent of the GI Bill). After graduation in 1922, it appears that he worked for General Electric for several years and on a turkey farm in Kelsey City, Florida, and during the Depression, he was said to have attended North Carolina State College, taking courses in Zoology and Sociology and studying the farmers' movements and community organization. | A familiar and eccentric presence on campus for many years, Leo V.
