Robbery at Old West and President's House
Mon., Nov. 2, 1987
The President's House, where then current President A. Lee Fritschler lived, was broken into during the late hours of November 2nd, 1987. Throw blankets, three bottles of wine, and the Fritschler's briefcase were stolen. That very same evening the portrait of Charles Nisbet, the first President of the College, was taken from Old West. Eventually, the portrait of Nisbet was found: a caller tipped off the College Police that the painting was on the porch of the President's House. Those who broke into the President's House were also discovered.
