Pictured here with President Balch. Church of Buckhannon. Full article {see page 4} From the President Since its founding in 1890, West Virginia Wesleyan College has challenged its students to set and uphold standards of excellence while making a life-long commitment to develop their intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and leadership potential. Wesleyan’s strong tradition of academic excellence is a result of its dynamic and dedicated faculty. From our early heritage, students have been involved in a strong co-curricular program complementing our academic programs. The combination of these programs has helped Wesleyan attract outstanding students from West Virginia, 31 other states, and over 28 countries. The ranks of our alumni include winners of the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, a Pulitzer Prize, an Emmy Award, and Country Music Songwriter of the Year, as well as GRAMMY® award nominees. As Patrick and I have traveled across the country these past nine years, we have met incredibly successful alumni in all walks of life who strive to positively impact their communities. In this issue of the Sundial, you will meet a group of current students who are poised for tremendous future accomplishments. You cannot help but notice that Wesleyan has remained true to the roots of the institution’s founders. As I encounter students, I find them eager to learn and energized to make a difference. Their passion for learning and service is as inspiring as is their concern for others. While we have strived to offer new programs to meet the demands of the global economy, the traditional values of Wesleyan remain the same. We continue to challenge students to think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, act responsibly, and demonstrate their local and world citizenship through service. West Virginia Wesleyan College has represented the best of higher education for 125 years. The institution continues to thrive today not only as a result of the passion of those who work here, but also the tremendous support we receive from our alumni and friends. Your generosity transforms the lives of each and every student. In Friendship, Pamela Balch ’71 www.wvwc.edu | WINTER/SPRING 2015 SUNDIAL 1 Title III Grant Program Historical Grant Makes Impact on Campus n September, the U.S. Department of Education approved an incredible $10 million Title III grant award to West Virginia Wesleyan College under the department’s Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP). The program helps eligible institutions of higher education to become self-sufficient and expand their capacity to serve low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability. The grant, which will be distributed over five years, is Ithe largest grant of its type ever awarded to a college or university and the largest award Wesleyan has ever received in its history. Among the initiatives the grant will support are improving student services, academic instruction, enhancing faculty development, and classroom renovations. In addition, the grant includes a $2 million endowment match challenge. The Title III grant has allowed Wesleyan to create a Student Success Center which provides one-on-one guidance and assistance to students with academic, career, and personal matters. With the grant funding, staff will be able to offer support to students as they learn to navigate the world of higher education. We will provide classroom renovations with current technology and flexible furnishings to meet the needs of 21st century learners, and resources for faculty to develop a culture of support for at-risk students. Three positions were created within the Student Success Center and are filled by Alison Clausen as Title III and student success center coordinator, Shauna Jones ’92, MFA ’13 as first-year student academic advisor, and Jill A. Okes ’09 as experiential learning coordinator. 2 SUNDIAL WINTER/SPRING 2015 The grant will support improving student services, academic instruction, enhancing faculty development, and classroom renovations.

  • The Bells of Corpus Christi - 09-01-2018 by Bolton Hill
    The Bells of Corpus Christi - 09-01-2018 by Bolton Hill - https://dev.fatcat-studios.com/bolton The Bells of Corpus Christi Saturday, September 01, 2018 https://dev.fatcat-studios.com/bolton/bulletin/the-bells-of-corpus-christi/ Longtime residents of Bolton Hill don't hear them anymore, for they have become part of our unconscious soundscape. But newcomers notice them and wonder where they came from. The Corpus Christi Church bells have tolled in Bolton Hill since the late nineteenth century. The first Corpus Christi bell likely tolled for the first time on January 1, 1891, when the church was completed and consecrated. The original church steeple of Corpus Christi, much smaller than the one we see now, held the first bell, which weighed 2,500 pounds and was tolled by a rope. About the size of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, it was cast by the McShane Bell Foundry, located at Holliday and Centre Streets in Baltimore. 1 / 4 The Bells of Corpus Christi - 09-01-2018 by Bolton Hill - https://dev.fatcat-studios.com/bolton The original Corpus Christi bell, weighing a whopping 2,500 pounds. In 1912, a huge mechanical clock was installed, visible from all four sides of the church and a local landmark. It was run by weights and had to be hand-cranked. The clock's mechanism activated the chiming of four new bells that were hung in the tower, weighing between 700 and 3,000 pounds each. All four bells were again cast by McShane. The new bells began calling the Westminster Quarters every quarter-hour.

The bells can be played like a piano through a specially-made keyboard Constructed in 1930, McCartney Library is not the with music adapted to the notes available. At Christmas, oldest building on campus, but is one of landmarks carols played on the bells echo throughout the valley. of the College and an important part of its traditions. The two most prominent features of the structure are the stained glass windows by Henry Lee Willet and the Deal Carillon. The three Deal sisters were the building’s benefactors, though they chose that the Library be named for their pastor rather than themselves. The building’s iconic bell tower is filled with fourteen bronze bells cast by the McShane’s Bell Foundry in Baltimore. McShane’s Foundry, which cast its first bells in 1856, remains in operation today and is the largest western-style bell producer in the country. The keyboard used to play the 14 notes of the Deal Carillon. Source: McCartney Library. The bells also are connected to a computerized electonic ringing system programed to chime The Westminster Quarters, a familiar four-bell clock melody that chimes on each quarter-hour culminating with hour strokes on the hour. This system controls the peal that traditionally rings at the end of each commencement exercise when the faculty and graduates walk back up to north campus.
