“Fat, drunk and stupid IS the way to matriculate successfully here at Pasons, son.”
Millard G. Roberts, or "Doc Bob", or "The Wizard of Flunk-Out U", as he was dubbed in a 1966 Life magazine article, was the president of Parsons College from1955 to1967.
He had been a Presbyterian minister in New York City with no experience in educational administration, but he came to Parsons with the goal of establishing a national reputation for the school.
