Description
Dr. Robert Kerce began teaching at Lipscomb in 1946 and, over the next 44 years, brought the study of mathematics to life through his meaningful, practical approach in the classroom. He chaired the Department of Mathematics and rose to the rank of professor, but he also chaired the Department of Physics, was Assistant to the President, Business Manager, directed the Pep Band, was an avid Bison athletics fan, and preached for several area churches of Christ. He was a master teacher whose stern yet gentle manner earned the respect of his students, instilling not only the concepts of applied mathematics but also the ethics of applied Christianity.
