Born in Jayton on March 27, 1931, Robert A. Moreland received his
bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Texas Tech, and his
doctorate of mathematics from the University of Texas. Moreland went on to
serve in the Korean War, as a mathematician for Sandia Corp., and a consultant
for the Naval Missile Center before returning to Texas Tech as a math professor
in 1955. At Tech, he was named Outstanding Professor by the Texas Tech Chapter
of the Mathematical Association of America in 1994 and was advisor for Sigma
Nu. He passed away on Sept. 7, 2000, in Lubbock, Texas.
Kappa Mu Epsilon, a mathematics organization, was founded in 1931 and
granted membership into the Association of College Honor Societies in 1968. The
Texas Tech chapter appears to have been established in 1940.
