Matthew Prince, a Vanderbilt undergraduate, succumbed to a long struggle with brain cancer over the summer. As a way to acknowledge his impact on the Vanderbilt community, students and faculty members gathered in Benton Chapel yesterday.
In an open-mike format, students conveyed their thoughts on Prince’s life and personality.
