They joined a number of campus organizations as well as independent groups designed especially for their first years of college life. During the junior and senior years, BCs, as they came to be called, were fully integrated into the fabric of the University and were graduated as a part of the senior class to take their places in contemporary society. This year, for the first time, BCs returned to the campus for a reunion with others who had entered the program in the years from 1951-55. Despite the many years since, the original BC experience had been sufficiently unique for each to feel a kinship that transcends time and distance. Many had not seen each other since graduation and fondly renewed former contacts and relationships.
Future reunions are in the planning stage.
We have been busy identifying and locating missing classmates. If you have any information on former BCs, e-mail Wes Norton so that he can forward the information to Ron Swann and the Alumni Office at Fisk. Only a few remain who have not been located. A questionnaire was included as a guide to topics we would like covered. Our last reunion was at graduation, '99, where our exiled classmate, Dr. Preston T. King was given an honorary Doctorate.
