Adolf C. [Abraham Cohn] Robison (1904-1987)

Adolf C. Robison, textile entrepreneur, philanthropist, musician, composer, playwright, Arctic traveler, and Haganah gun runner, was born in New York City on February 4, 1904 to Louis and Paula (Cohn). He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree at Columbia University (Phi Beta Kappa) in 1924 and honorary degrees from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Kyung Hee University, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He married Ann Green Robison on August 28, 1927, and had two sons, Peter and Michael.

As a businessman, he was President of Robison Industries Inc., President of Robison-Anton Export Corp., Chairman of the Board of Robison-Anton Textile Co., Chairman of the Board of Robison of Canada Limited, Chairman of Dyerite Inc., and President of Palm Beach Properties. Robison Anton Textiles supplied the majority of insignia worn by the armed forces during World War II and supplied the yarn from which the official arm patches of the astronauts who participated in the first moon landing were woven.

Robison was an officer in the Haganah underground army during the Israeli war of independence; he operated out of New York hotel, smuggling arms into Israel. From 1948-1951, he served as Chairman of the Board for Material for Israel, an organization that supplied the Haganah with supplies for the war. He was decorated by the Israeli government. Robison was a founding member of the State of Israel Bonds Committee.

Robison had a long association with Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he served as Chairman of the Board of Fellows. The university named its science and engineering building for him in 1964. In 1966, it awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Law degree. He also served as Vice-President of Friends of Department of Hebraic Studies at Rutgers University. As a Representative for Fairleigh Dickinson University, he attended overseas conventions held by the International Association of University Presidents in Seoul, Korea and Monrovia, Liberia. At the Liberian conference, his piece, "The Tubman March," was performed at a memorial service for the Liberian President William V.S. Tubman.

Memberships included the American-Israel Cultural Foundation; Israel Bonds, of which he was a Founder; Histadrut; Jewish National Fund; Teaneck Jewish Community Center; Friends of Kyung Hee University; Board of Governors, Hackensack New Jersey Hospital; Teaneck City Council; and the Teaneck Community Chest. He also served as Director of the Bergen County, New Jersey YMHA.

Robison had a life-long passion for music. He composed works for symphonic band, voice, and piano, solo piano, and chamber groups. In addition to the Tubman March, he composed the National March of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States; the Fairleigh Dickinson University Marching Song, and a song in a British movie. Also a performing musician, Robison held the first bassoonist chair in the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra for 25 years and was a regular member of the Friends of Chamber Music. He also wrote plays and poetry.

During his later years, Robison continued traveling; in 1982, he took part in a month long expedition to Antarctica.

Robison died in Teaneck, New Jersey in 1987.
