Frank C. Fisher was an All-Ohio halfback in football and captain of the 1913 team. He also was president of the Varsity O Club, lettered in baseball, basketball and track, and was described in newspapers "one of the best halfbacks in the country." In 1935, on the occasion of his retirement, Oberlin's first Athletic Director C.W. Savage selected Fisher and his teammate (and fellow Hall of Famer) Glen Gray '11 as halfbacks on his "All-Oberlin" team. Born in Volga, South Dakota, Fisher was an officer aboard the USS Nevada during World War I. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1917. He was a trustee of Oberlin College from 1951 until his death in 1967.
