Carl C. Croft
Fulton, Ky.
LL.B.; Pi Kappa Alpha; D. D. L.; Henry Clay Law Society; Psi Delta Phi.
"For a woman's only a woman, But a good cigar is a smoke." "Ick" has been here for four years. At first, being enchanted by visions of building bridges and constructing railroads he began Civil Engineering. But, alas and alack! this required Physics and Math, so being impressed that his talent lay elsewhere, he tried law. Here, at last, he was at home, for he is a natural lawyer. He is a good worker, and a hard one, and is always busy working on some puzzling point in law which interests him. He is very popular among all who know him, and everywhere he may go he will make good.
-The Kentuckian, 1912
