' T*»o fV’tctnndjro eons of the Seutli Carolina Piedmont—an international autnonty oiji birds and a top-selling pub lications tkeputiVa^- will re turn to Presbyterian College for honorary degrees next Sunday. Emmet Reid Blake, a na tive of Abbeville, is recog nized througtidtft '’(he world for his work as curator of b^ftls at Chicago’s Field Mu seum of Natural History. Ross Edgar Templeton, from Owings, holds the posi tion of senior assistant vice president of Field Enterprises Educational Corporation. From his Charlotte headquar ters, he has made the Caro- linas division one of the stel lar performers in the popular hierarchy of World Book En cyclopedia. The worlds of these two men are miles apart — espe cially when Blake takes off on one of his expeditionary trips into the South American jungles. But they have two things in common — the na tive heath of the Piedmont and Presbyterian College. Blake is a member of the Class of 1928, returning now for an honorary doctor of sci ence degree; Templeton of the Class of 1924, to receive the doctor of humanities. They called him “Snakey” when, as a PC student, he kept Laurens Dormitory alive with various forms of local wildlife. But Emmet Blake EMMET BLAKE ROSS TEMPLETON continued with his favorite The Abbeville native first endeavor. Through the years he’s tak en part in eight major expe ditions and produced the au- thorative “Birds of Mexico” and other books. Now, he is launched on the most ambi tious Undertaking of all, a Handbook of South American Birds, covering the neo-tropi- cal birds from Guatemala to the southern tip of South Am erica, under a two-year $33,000 grant from the National Sci ence Foundation. When Harvard University recently endeavored to re classify its works on birds, it was to Blake that the scholars turned for help. entered the jungles in 1930, just 21 and only two years out of Presbyterian College. He went as a technical assis tant on an expedition of the National Geographic Society through the wilds of Brazil and Venezuela. His eighth ma jor jungle expedition was in 1953, when he led his party into the jungles of Peru for exploration of areas virtually unpenetrated by zoologists. Most of the trips have been under auspices of the Field Museum of Natural History (formerly known as the Chi cago Museum). Blake has been associated with this in stitution since 1935, except for at J. C LAST time to serve as a special agent in counter-intelligence during World War II. Science has profited from his expeditions. Because of discoveries by the South Car olina ornithologist, the world is acquainted with new birds, a new coral snake, a leaf climbing frog and a lizard that bears his name. Since 1952, he has been a fellow of the eminent scientific society, the American Ornithologists Union. Meanwhile, in the realm of book promotion, Ross Tem pleton is recognized as the selling kingpin with Field En terprises Educational Corp. — the world’s largest producer of encyclopedia. In 42 years with this or ganization, he has been re sponsible for sale of well over a quarter-million sets of World Book Encyclopedia. He has long ranked among the top five division managers and is a permanent member of the “Flying Circus,” most exclusive of company honors. In recognition ol his achie vement, Templtton in 1964 was elevated to senior assistant vice president and general manager, in addition to his position as supervising divi sion manager of the Carolinas division. Ross Templeton worked as a school teacher for a short time after leaving PC. He joined the World Book organi zation in 1935 and opened the Charlotte headquarters, office in 1952. Always vitally interested in Presbyterian College, Temp leton has been a Key man in the Alumni Association for many years. He adopted its Walter Johnson Club as his major off-duty enterprise in 1960.
