'Cat Tales - The Reverend Dr. Thomas Lane Butts

The Reverend Dr. Thomas Lane Butts served southern churches for nearly 50 years. In that time, he earned three graduate degrees, including one from Northwestern. When The Reverend Butts arrived on campus in 1955, it was not only his first trip to Evanston, it was the Alabama native's first trip north of the Mason Dixon Line.
