Dr. Robert A. Love believes a student does not attend Evening College unless there's something to him. "That's why we have the cream of the crop," he said, "However, the student should strive to balance his work and play in order to remain human. He must be able to enjoy his intellectual pursuits; otherwise, they will be useless," he exclaimed very animatedly. "Above all, may he have a sense of humor and keep 'his enjoyer' working at all times."
Dr. Love's distinctive southern drawl adds to the warmth and sincerity that is very apparent when you meet him. "The potentialities of the individual are limitless and most certainly should be developed", he said with infectious enthusiasm. It is his belief that education and the growth of the individual are one of the most important requisites in our society and has based his entire life's work to this philosophy.
Dr. Love had difficulty deciding whether he wanted to teach, study law or become part of the intricate world of business. He came to New York to do some graduate work at Columbia "and has never been able to get away." When queried about the differences between New York and his native Texas, Dr. Love replied, "There's much more stimulation and drive here. I feel I can learn something new each day and will, even when I get to be an old man--which is a long time in the future. One thing, however, New York could use more 'open spaces' like we have in Texas."
He believes that if the college graduate has learned to live with those around him and most of all, with himself, he has really achieved life's goals.
Dr. Love, our idea of a real humanitarian, has done just that!
