He served in the U.S. Marines, taught history, then earned an M.A. and an Ed.D. from Columbia University in New York City.

Under his leadership, Bucks expanded and grew from 730 students in one building – Tyler Hall – to more than 9,000 students on a thriving Newtown campus that included nearly a dozen buildings that housed a three-story library, television studios, lecture halls, science labs, a gymnasium and a pool. He retired in June 1987 to focus on travel and occasionally teaching and consulting. After his retirement, the Student Union Building was renamed the Charles E. Rollins Center in his honor. A memorial service to celebrate Dr. Rollins’ life will take place at 4 p.m. Tuesday, August 2 in the Solarium, located on the second floor of the Charles E. Rollins Center.
