BURTON ROGERS TALKS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BURTON ROGERS TALKS displays images of transcripts that Burton Rogers<\/a> used for his speeches before various groups, such as the D.A.R., Green Hill School, Benham Lions Club and the Green Hill School. Besides promoting Pine Mountain Settlement School, he also covered subjects such as foreign missions, graduation, and Little School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burton began at Pine Mountain as a counselor, teacher, and later principal from 1942 until 1949 when he became the School’s director. His term as director lasted until 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his long tenure at Pine Mountain Burton Rogers was called upon to give many talks. Most of these were gathered in his Director’s Files while others are scattered in the general collections. When Burton spoke to groups he generally worked from notes. There are, however, several talks that he gave which have full transcripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether fragmentary notes or full transcripts, his talks were always well thought through and reflective. He often used the historical record in his talks and almost always aimed to move his audience toward their higher selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the talks gathered on this page, some are dated, others are not, but the date can be estimated by their subject or audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
