| Abstract |
Chemistry professor and high school teacher Robert Beale was born on November 19, 1911 in Camden, New Jersey. He graduated cum laude from West Virginia State University in 1932, then obtained his M.S. degree in chemistry from University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Pennsylvania State University. Beale began then teaching chemistry at Hutson-Tillotson College in Austin, Texas. He served as a teacher and administrator at eleven colleges, including North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, the University of Maryland and Virginia Union. Beale retired in 1986; but, in 1990, Beale returned to teaching in the Prince George's County School District after discovering that there was a shortage of teachers. He taught at Suitland High School, where he took his students on an annual college tour, a five-day trip to various colleges in the South. Beale passed away on October 9, 2006 at the age of ninety-four. |
