Paul Butterfield Freeland
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated from Crowley High School in 1921.
Career
He did postgraduate study at New College in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1951, he wrote a letter to Time magazine in which he decried "the forgotten Arab refugees." In remarks some might consider still relevant in the 21st century, Freeland referred to a "neglected" situation which has led to "deterioration not only in the physical and moral condition of the Arab refugees but also of our international relations. His collection of photographs and memorabilia of the Crowley area is located in the archives of the Acadia Parish Library in Crowley.
He also donated a collection to the Confederate Stamp Alliance.
The annex was dedicated on August 15, 1982, and named the "Paul B. Freeland Hall". Freeland served on the foundation board.
The "Paul B. Freeland Professorship" is given in his honor at Davidson College, in biology, philosophy, and religion.
