James Markoe Robbins ’26

Our classmate Jim Robbins, who died Mar. 29, 1999, was one of our most loyal classmates. He was 89.

He held many offices in the class and was always thinking of the class as well as the game of golf. When Bobby Jones held the number one ranking in amateur golf, Jim was number 14. He was both Maine Open Champion and the Pennsylvania Amateur Champion. He was also an officer of The Father-Son Golf Assn. We are sure his sons, Brooks and James, and his daughter, Barbara Anderson, are fine golfers having had a father so interested in the game. At Princeton he was captain of the golf team.

He was for many years associated with various investment companies as an investment adviser and tax consultant.

He had great interest in education, doing good works for the Harvey School in Katonah, N.Y., and was on the board of the Pomfret School in Pomfret, Conn.

The class yearbook states Jim enjoyed sailing, chopping wood, and reading biographies, as recreation, and children, golf, and horses as hobbies.

Jim's first wife, Jane, died in 1942. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Mary, his three children, 10 grandchildren, and three great-.
