These "reminiscences of by-gone
days awakened in the minds of the
old students many and varied
thoughts. When the names of Pres
ident Cravath, Professors Bennett,
Chase, Spence and Morgan were men,
toned many were the emotions that
stirred the minds of those who knew
them as they wrought-who revered
their memory for what their teaching
meant to them when character was
being formed and word of advice
and comfort went far toward shaping
their lives for the future. Most help
full and inspiring talks were given by
Mrs. E. M. CTavath, the wife of Fisk's
first president; Miss Helen G. Nor
gan, who for more than thirty-five
years held the chair of Latin in Fisk;
Miss Mabel Chase, daughter of Prof.
Chase, the first teacher of Science in
this school and one whose memory is
perpetuated by Chase Hall; Mrs. H.
/ A. Miller, daughter of Pres. Cravath
and Dean Wright, of Fisk. These
remarks were all filled with words of
cheer and inspiration and the alumni
of long ago who remembered what
Fisk then meant to both faculty and
students, felt their hearts burn with
in them as they listened. After the
program an elaborate two-course
menu was served. The following
members and guests were present:
