IN MEMORIAM

Dedication and Homage to
Clarence Henry Robbins (1886-1957)

Clarence, a mining engineer (Birmingham University), a romanticist and polyglot, was above all, an intellectual – an autodidactic Master. The Master died, the comrade, the popular friend. He left us the recollection of a man of integrity, coherent, not only in attitudes and principles but also immutable in his judgements. Original modesty and utter discretion, concealed wisdom and conspicuous competence.

An authentic Man who, on freeing from life, we all remember as an Example, with extreme longing.
His past life – symbolizes enthusiasm, stamina, consistency and maturity – the acknowledgement and stimulus that made my life and work worthwhile; thus, I devote this edition in remembrance to our Dear father – Clarence.
