Prof. John Fischer, honorary alumnus and now holder of an Honorary Wabash Doctorate, was on campus this past weekend to receive his degree. A few Lambda Chi leaders – Scott Eggers, Greg Estell, Ted Grossnickle, Greg Castanias, and many others – arranged a reception for John on Saturday afternoon. The guest list hit 150 bringing alumni back from every corner of the Country. A special thanks goes to Sarah Estell for doing a great job on everything for invitations to guest lists to logistics.
John was a teacher at Wabash for 40 years. His subject matter expertise wasn’t so much in a subject as it was in “being”. Being a gentleman. Being a responsible citizen. Being accountable. Being trustworthy. He also had a class called “No whining.” You did not want to get labeled “feckless” by this man, I assure you!
John Fischer changed men for the better and those men have gone on to make our world be better. Is there any greater purpose?
John Fischer – Some Little Giant!
