Roy L. Wiley |
The Roy L. and Clara Belle Wiley Planetarium is located in Walters Hall on the Delta State University campus in Cleveland. It was founded in 1976 and is named for Mr. Roy Lee Wiley and his wife. The planetarium is used for university astronomy classes and also presents special programs for schools and the general public.
Mr. Wiley taught physics at Delta State from 1942 to 1975. He was known as a challenging
teacher whose keen mind set a rapid pace for his students as he expertly and nimbly
explained the intricacies of complex problems. Mr. Wiley celebrated his 99th birthday in 2006.
