Mr. Fiske spent several years as a journalist and lawyer after graduation, and became associated with the Metropolitan in 1879. Haley Fiske's character and personal qualities are well voiced in the tribute issued by President john Martin Thomas: Haley Fiske was one of the greatest men ever graduated from Rutgers, and one of the most beloved by our alumni. Mr. Fiske was a strong man in any group. He had a diffusive presence which made his influence felt upon all, and it was always exerted for policies involving courage, farsightedness and high standards. c-:fayx-:, 1:fX7x:'f-wJ-f:fx:,.:,x- K ,.
