Abstract: Charles “Chic” Fitts (AB History, 1967; MA East Asian Studies, 1975) reflects on his experiences navigating Stanford and his most memorable times as a student. Fitts shares about his freshman dorm, Wilbur Hall, as well as the moment when he found out JFK had been assassinated in 1963. He also recounts living in Beta Chi, a dissident and former house of fraternity Sigma Nu. Fitts goes on to describe how he began to create a life of his own during his senior year and working for the Stanford Festival of Arts. He also shares his favorite Stanford memory, which was living in Grove House, Stanford’s first co-ed dorm. Lastly, Fitts recalls his participation in demonstrations during the anti-war and anti-draft movement, specifically seizing the Applied Electronics Lab.
