Pulp and Paper Technology Class of 1967

The R.L. Duncan Memorial/Class of 1967 Scholarship Endowment was established in 2017 by the Pulp and Paper Technology Class of 1967 in memory of their classmate, R.L. Duncan.

During the early morning hours of April 17, 1967, the Class of 1967 lost one of its most enthusiastic and well-liked members, Ralph Lane Duncan, Jr. in a tragic automobile accident as he returned to campus. R.L. will long be remembered by his classmates in the pulp and paper technology curriculum for his quick wit and easy going manner. A native of Spring Hope, North Carolina, he matriculated to State in 1963 with the aid of a Pulp and Paper Foundation Scholarship. He continued to justify this award with his academic record during the following three years. The residents of Lee Dorm will remember his spirited term as athletic director and the intramural sports staff will remember the cooperation “R.L.” exhibited in making this program a success. In addition to his interest in campus activities, he showed a great deal of interest in helping his family and guiding his younger brothers.
