Photos and stories of some students
1. Tom Torlino
  1. His photo was taken in 1882, by John Choate. In 1885 Choate took other photo of Tom, in this photo the skin of Tom looks more lighter. Some persons think that Choate manipulate the light to say "with the proper education, Carlisle students could literally blend in with white society"

Opinion
1. I think is a good idea have photos of the forefathers, and know a little bit of their stories, to know the why of different cultures.
