His father, Captain William G. Fitch, a graduate of West Point and Union officer in the Civil War, encouraged his son to become an architect or to engage in a career of business; but his mother, Alice Clark, in whose eyes he could do no wrong, always believed in his artistic talent.

Fitch graduated from Amherst in 1886, where he was a member of Chi Psi fraternity. As an undergraduate, "he dazzled his fellow studen ...
