Robert Craven Snyder, Sr. (April 30, 1919 – June 8, 2011), was a professor and professor emeritus of English at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston in Lincoln Parish in north Louisiana. He was particularly known for his public lectures on cultural, civic, and educational matters during the decades of the 1950s, the 1960s, and the 1970s.
The youngest of six children of Robert Harrison Snyder and the former Sophia Elizabeth Brock, Snyder was a native of Niota in McMinn County in eastern Tennessee. During World War II, he was employed by the Atomic Energy Commission on the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, work which led to the development of the atomic bomb. Snyder attended Methodist-affiliated Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens, Tennessee and also studied at the University of North Alabama in Florence, Alabama, formerly Florence State College. He further studied at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Tulane University in New Orleans, and did graduate work at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Over his academic years, he spent summers at the University of Mississippi at Oxford, Mississippi and the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.
