RASCAL OF A BIG BROTHER GIVES $3 MILLION TO HOLLINS FOR A LIBRARY IN SISTER'S NAME

As a child, Julian Robertson knew exactly how to torment his younger sister, Wyndham.

``Wyndham is well known as someone who tears up easily,'' he said. ``I was the one who taught her to cry. I would thoroughly chew up an Oreo cookie, put it on my tongue, call her over and tell her, `I've eaten Mother.' ''

As an adult, Robertson found the perfect way to apologize for his childish pranks. He donated $3 million to have a college library named after Wyndham. The donation made in honor of Wyndham Robertson, vice chairwoman of the college's Board of Trustees, is the largest in Hollins College's 155-year history. The announcement was made at the Founder's Day convocation.

Julian Robertson is an investment strategist and a Wall Street financial adviser.
