Emeriti
James D.Boykin was the college's first biology professor. Tragically, Jim passed away in 1985 at the age of 59. Later that year the L Building, which housed the Biology Department, was renamed the James D. Boykin Laboratory Center.
Jim always had a houseful of students, ranging from the more than 25 Micronesian students he sponsored and housed, to students who popped in for dinner and an impromptu teaching session. On his untimely passing, faculty and students honored him at that year's commencement ceremony, with the planting of cedar trees just outside the laboratory building, a memorial photo collage, and a scholarship in his name.
