LEGACY
Dr. Peter J. Frederick H’92—co-founder, first director, professor, life teacher, mentor, advocate, counselor, friend, and most importantly, Brother.
You were in the trenches with students every year as we fought to define ourselves on campus and become the men that you, Horace Turner H’76, and Coach Robert Johnson H’77 would be so very proud of as we departed.
Your rich legacy of justice and equality for all lives will live on forever.
Thank you for believing in us!
