A Moment in Alpha History: Brother Dr. Robert P. Randolph
Today we honor “Pioneer”:
Brother Dr. Robert P. Randolph served as Student Health Services Director and University Physician at North Carolina College from 1957 to 1966. He was initiated in the Gamma Chapter in 1928. While at Virginia Union, the 15th General President Brother Dr. Rayford W. Logan was also associated with the chapter when he was a Professor during this time. Before his appointment, Brother Randolph completed his internship at Lincoln Hospital in 1935 and later joined the staff. He was one of the earliest African American physicians in Durham, where he concentrated exclusively on internal medicine. It was noted that “he was respected widely for his thorough approach to his patients.” In 1951, he requested clinical privileges to see his patients at Duke Hospital outpatient clinic which he also did for many years. He was married to Emma E. Lee, RN, who was a graduate of the Tuskegee Institute nursing program and later served as the operating room supervisor at Lincoln Hospital in 1935. She later joined North Carolina College as a nurse. She was also a member of the Durham Links.
While Brother Randolph served N.C.C., he also practiced family medicine, and he made house calls in College Heights, where he also resided (see the attached picture of his residence).
