Stanley Linn Robe

26 Jul 1915 - 17 Aug 2010

Dr. Stanley Linn Robe, retired professor of Spanish at UCLA, died August 17, 2010 at age 95 in San Gabriel, CA. Death came as a result of general old age. Dr. Robe was born July 26, 1915 in Tangent, Oregon. During World War II he was called for service as an intelligence agent with the O.S.S. in the Panama Canal Zone. He married his college sweetheart Alice Rosetta Mueller August 26, 1943 in Canby, Oregon. In 1947 he returned to college to complete his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. During that year he completed his first research project in Jalisco, Mexico; Dr. Robe was the first to use electronic sound recording equipment in the study of Mexican dialects and folklore. In 1949 he began his long career with the UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese. During the 1960s he did extensive research projects in Colombia and Mexico. Besides folklore and dialectology, his research interests were in the period of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) and the Cristero Rebellion (1920s). He donated his extensive collection of printed woodcuts by Jose Guadalupe Posada to UCLA. Dr. Robe retired from the UCLA faculty in 1985.
