As the singers went on advertising the University, Fisk equipment grew until the first stack of spelling books and New Testaments, bought by selling for old iron the rusty handcuffs from Nashville's slavepens, became a legend. Now there are 25 well-equipped campus buildings at Fisk (not counting the nearby grocery store where students go to eat fried fish). Academically it has Class A rating...
