Lavery Library holds searchable digital archives of many publications, including The Pioneer, Fisher’s student-run newspaper from 1951–2001.
A search for Tom Way, the first Fisher alumnus killed in combat in 1967, reveals who he was before his death in Vietnam. It tells the story of a student who dominated the soccer pitch for Fisher, organized student blood drives, and visited the VA hospital to chat with patients. A sculpture in his honor stands outside Founders Hall.
On Memorial Day, we honor and mourn Tom and all who have lost their lives in service to our country.
