Planning DePauw: Campus Conversations on our Future Begin

F A L L 2 0 0 9 A message from President Brian W. Casey

Greetings from the DePauw University campus, As I write, it is a beautiful midsummer day in Greencastle, and our community is eagerly awaiting the August influx of more than 700 young men and women comprising the large and talented Class of 2013. Many of them are alumni legacies – about one in six of those students will carry on direct family histories at this great institution. Several became acquainted with DePauw at the urging of friends or acquaintances who at one time called our campus home, and others were directly recommended to our Office of Admission by DePauw alumni. To those of you who helped bring these students to DePauw, ’10) (Photo: Alex Turco I extend my deepest gratitude. Unlike many of our peer schools, DePauw is fortunate to have fulfilled its admission goal for this fall’s incoming class. Economic challenges continue, however, to shape the plans of many potential college students. Alumni assistance with recruitment has never been more critically important than it is today. If you know young people who would benefit from the DePauw experience – no matter when they will begin their college search – I strongly urge you to bring them to the attention of our Office of Admission. We are eager to hear from you, and I hope that you will take a few minutes to complete and mail the postage-paid postcard included with this message, or to talk to one of our admission staff members by phoning 765-658-4006 or 800-447-2495. You can also send suggestions by e-mail to [email protected]. Please know your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Most sincerely,

515 receive degrees in Class of 2009 Graduates challenged to address needs of the world

“We have a great deal of work and quite a challenge ahead of us,” Matthew R. Jen- nings told 514 fellow members of the Class of 2009 and their families at DePauw’s 170th commencement in the Holton Memorial Quadrangle on Sunday, May 17. “I thank you for the past four years and all the memories, experiences and friendships we have shared. All that we need to do now is jump.” Jennings told the audience about a rope swing in the Putnam County countryside that his friends enjoyed jumping from, over a rocky area, and into a small lake below. At first fearful of taking the plunge, Jennings was finally convinced by his pals to jump off the (Photo: © Marilyn E. Culler) “But if it [the challenge to rope and into the water. The risk was well worth the reward, Jennings recalled, saying the solve world issues] had to feeling of flinging himself from the swing into the water was “awesome.” He added, “But believe it or not, rope swings on small lakes in rural Indiana aren’t the be given to one generation, only things that evoke fear in this world.” Jennings reminded the students who sat before one graduating class, I’m him in caps and gowns, “We live in a time of increased uncertainty, a time when major glad it is ours, the DePauw corporations that were once the backbone of this country’s economy and the employer of Class of 2009.

Is this a big challenge?” he asked. “Yep. But if it had to be given – Brian W. Casey, to one generation, one graduating class, I’m glad it is ours, the DePauw Class of 2009. I President of the University know that we can do it.” DePauw’s 19th president, Brian W. Casey, spoke to the first graduating class under his presidency and said, “Members of the great Class of 2009, there are a million things I want to tell you about life and love and work and the way things are. That, of course, is not my job here today and now. Besides, it’s always struck me as odd when a dean or president would come to a podium at a commencement ceremony to tell the class the secrets of life, as if the institution had somehow decided for some mysterious reason to withhold such secrets from you for the past four years. But, in fact, this faculty and the deans and all the staff have wanted nothing more than to give you all the secrets of life – whether they came in the form of a poetry class, or a geochem lab, or a study session, or in the comments of [Professor of English] Andrea Sununu’s papers – in a thousand different ways we wanted to give you the whole world, or the tools we thought you needed to make your way.” President Casey continued, “So now it’s time to make your way, and you’re ready. The secret of life is to open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart. To be educated, of course, is not to know everything. In fact, there’s very little we can know of the whole world.

(Photo: © Marilyn E. Culler) said. “I also believe that we are at a unique time and place in our history, where we have John A. Dittmer the ability and the will to right many wrongs.” He told the audience, “This is a festive occasion for all of us at DePauw – the graduating seniors and their families, as well as my colleagues on the faculty and staff. As it turns out, today also has historical significance: 55 years ago, on May 17, 1954, at the Supreme Court Building in our nation’s capital, Chief Justice Earl Warren was handing down a unanimous decision, Brown v. Board of Education, which declared that racially segregated public schools were inher- ently unequal, in violation of the 14th Amendment, and therefore unconstitutional. “What has impressed me most about my two decades at DePauw has been the willingness, the eagerness of so many students to take what they have learned here and put it to work for the benefit of the larger community, volunteering their talents to assist others in need, and the Class of 2009 is continuing this tradition,” Dittmer said.

“And the University itself has made great progress. All we have to (Photo: © Marilyn E. Culler) do is look around at each other today to see that DePauw has come D. David Cryer ’58

There is still a good distance to be traveled, but we are on the right road, with next year’s entering class promising to be the most racially and internationally diverse in our history. “This country’s leaders are eager to confront long-festering problems in health care, in education, the environment, and in climate change and nuclear proliferation, and they have pledged to commit the resources to do so. Over the past century, there have been only two periods in our history, the 1930s and the 1960s, where public policy and a commitment to social justice have converged, and the stars may well be lined up the same way today.” He concluded, “With all of the difficulties that beset us, then, this is also a time of great opportunity. DePauw – and recent history – have prepared you to meet these challenges, to make your contribution to a world where this nation might once again lead, not by military might but through the power of its example, giving hope to all those who believe in the possibilities of democracy.” The University awarded honorary doctoral degrees to Dittmer and D. David Cryer ’58, renowned performer on and off Broadway and a founding member of the American Conser- vatory Theatre in San Francisco and Mirror Repertory Theater in New York City. Dittmer received a Doctor of Humane Letters degree, and Cryer received a Doctor of Arts degree. Two retiring DePauw faculty members also were recognized: Thomas D. Hall, Edward Myers Dolan Professor of Anthropology and professor of sociology and anthropology, who has taught at DePauw since 1989 will retire in June 2011, but the spring semester was his last semester on campus; and Robert J. Stark, professor of biology, who came to the University in 1981.

5 News of the University Cultural Resource Center named in honor of Dorothy Brown Dorothy Brown, who is known to several generations of DePauw students and faculty members as well as the Greencastle community, has been honored for her contributions to the college and city. The University’s Cultural Resource Center, located at 314 East Hanna Street, was renamed in her honor. Brown served as DePauw’s assistant director of minority affairs, taught in the education department and has served as house mother for Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house on campus for 15 years. Approximately 100 of Brown’s friends and admirers from DePauw and Greencastle gathered Dorothy Brown at the Dorothy Brown Cultural Resource Center on March 31 for a ceremony marking the facility’s rededication. Dorothy Chapman Brown was born in Tennessee and moved to Greencastle in her teen years. She excelled in academics and track and received a Bachelor of Science degree in education and then a master’s degree in school administration from Indiana State University. Brown was the first African-American to teach in Greencastle schools and served as principal of Ridpath School. She taught in DePauw’s education department from 1986-89. She has been active in many local organizations, including

Greencastle Kiwanis, Putnam County Museum, NAACP, Gobin Me- (Photo: Larry Ligget) morial United Methodist Church and Girl Scouts. She has lectured and been discussion leader for many multicultural programs and has been recognized for her hard work and dedication in making the community a better place for all families to raise children. Brown is an “an incredible inspiration who has made significant strides in her community,” Nissy Stetson-Grace, assistant director of multicultural and community life, said. Brown’s daughter, Charlene Shrewsbury, says her mother “makes us proud every day. I really can’t think of a single act that would stand out more than all the rest because they’re all special. She goes constantly, and she always has a busy day.” Shrewsbury is a captain in the DePauw Public Safety department. At the event, DePauw senior Erik J. Lundorf, who is a member of Phi Kappa Psi, unveiled a portrait of Brown, which will be displayed in the center that bears her name. Dorothy Brown Cultural Resource Center is home to several affinity groups, including the Committee for Latino Concerns, ASIA club and United DePauw.

6 News of the University Horizon Lectureship celebrates centennial Guy Morrison Walker, Class of 1890, lived an extraordinary life and had an exceptional impact upon DePauw. With family ties to DePauw and Indiana Asbury University stretching back to before the Civil War, Walker was an active and influential student, organizing one of the first DePauw football teams in 1889. He went on to become a member of the bar in six states, was an adviser to President McKinley on Chinese affairs, and he successfully reorganized failed companies through his own exceptional financial acumen. DePauw alumni will easily recognize the Walker name due to his endowment of the Walker Cup, presented annually to the outstanding member of the senior class. However, in September 1909, well before the Walker Cup was founded, Walker endowed another important fund – the first lectureship at DePauw. Searching for a way to provide a gift that “could be made to do the most good and reach the largest number of students,” Walker decided Guy Morrison Walker, Class of 1890 to establish a fund to bring exceptional speakers in political science or history to campus on an annual basis. Walker named the new lectureship The Horizon Lectures, saying, “I want the subjects selected and the lectures prepared with

(Photo: Larry Ligget) the view of giving the hearing students the widest possible mental horizon.” The first Horizon Lecturer was Professor Frank Fetter of Cornell University, who spoke in 1910. Fetter, an Indiana native, was an eminent economist whose work, The Principles of Econom- ics, was a landmark text of the early 20th century.

“I hope that each series of lectures will succeed in fixing a new point in the mental horizon of the students who hear them.” – Guy Morrison Walker

The Horizon Lectureship twice hosted famed historian Will Durant – in 1927 and 1938. Durant’s The Story of Philosophy was a bestseller in its time and is still found in bookstores today. He and his wife, Ariel, went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for their highly popular series, The Story of Civilization. In the modern era, the Horizon Lectureship still attracts important scholars to DePauw. Most recently, Christopher Achen of Princeton University, an expert in political methodology, delivered the Horizon Lecture in February. The Walker family also continues the DePauw tradition; Chris- tian B. Walker ’09 became the sixth generation of his family to graduate from DePauw when he received his diploma in May. In 1909 Guy Walker wrote, “I hope that each series of lectures will succeed in fixing a new point in the mental horizon of the students who hear them.” Through many generations now, The Horizon Lectures have done just that.

Brad Kelsheimer joins DePauw as vice president for finance and administration

Brad A. Kelsheimer was appointed vice president for finance and administration, effective July 1. Kelsheimer came to DePauw from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, where he worked since August 2000 and was associate vice president for financial affairs. He succeeded Thomas A. Dixon, who served as DePauw’s interim vice president for finance and administration through the end of the 2008-09 fiscal year. “Brad is an experienced and well-regarded senior financial administrator at a well-regarded academic institution. He has worked closely with faculty members as well as the financial community in service of Rose-Hulman’s mission,” DePauw President Brian W. Casey Brad A. Kelsheimer said. “His ability to think strategically, along with his strong history of solid financial oversight, will serve our institution very well. I’m delighted to welcome Brad to DePauw University.” Kelsheimer said, “I have been extraordinarily impressed with members of the DePauw community that I’ve met, and I sense an energy on campus that is truly unique. This is an exciting, transformational time for DePauw University. I feel very fortunate to be given an opportunity to serve with a team that has embraced such an engaging dialog on the future that is built so solidly on DePauw’s exceptional traditions and history.” At Rose-Hulman, Kelsheimer developed an institution-wide initiative database and related processes for matching faculty interests with potential funding sources as well as a financial reporting package that provided timely, accurate and actionable data to campus leadership. Among his other accomplishments, he helped guide the Institute’s board as Rose-Hulman Ventures (RHV) – which links students with technology-based companies – was transformed from a grant-funded program into a financially sustainable operation. He also oversaw and closed more than 50 private equity transactions at RHV, resulting in returns that placed in the top 25 percent of all vintage 2000 venture funds. Kelsheimer also led efforts to secure federal funds and other grants, and created and implemented the concept for the Terre Haute Innovation Alliance, a federally funded collaborative partnership with Indiana State University. Kelsheimer received a B.S. degree with high honors in accounting from the University of Illinois, and he completed a M.S. degree in strategic management from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business in May. He began his career at Price Waterhouse in Indianapolis in August 1990 as a staff/senior auditor and then moved to General Housewares Corp. in Terre Haute (1995-2000), where he served in several roles, including corporate controller and divisional chief financial officer. At Rose-Hulman Ventures, Kelsheimer was business operations manager (August 2000 - February 2003) and vice president for administration and business affairs (February 2003-August 2005), and he was associate vice president for financial affairs for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology since March 2005.

Lincoln’s DePauw biographers By John T. Elliff ’63 Secretary, Lincoln Group of the District of Columbia

he Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial in 2009 is a time to recall DePauw alumni who wrote early Lincoln biographies. Jesse W. Weik, Class of 1875, collabo- Lincolnrated with Lincoln’s law partner, William H. Herndon, to write Herndon’s Lincoln (1889) and later produced The Real Lincoln (1922). Indiana Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Class of 1885, wrote two volumes, Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1858 (1928), before his death. Indiana Asbury University’s charismatic professor John Clark Ridpath, who played a key role Tin renaming the University in honor of Washington C. DePauw, encouraged Weik’s first contact with Herndon. After Lincoln’s assassination, Herndon interviewed and corresponded with people who knew Lincoln, but was unable to assemble a biography. In the 1880s, Weik used Herndon’s records and recollections to create a work once described as “the outstanding biography of all time.” Their joint writing was done on hot summer days above the Weik family store in Greencastle. Herndon’s Lincoln is famous for its accounts of Lincoln’s life in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois that became the stuff of American legend. Examples: After the death of their mother little Abe and his sister Sarah began a dreary life – indeed, one more cheerless and less inviting seldom falls to the lot of any child. His chief delight during the day … was to lie down under the shade of some inviting tree and to read and study. Abe’s original and ridiculous stories not only amused the crowd, but the display of his unique faculties made him many friends. Some historians questioned the credibility of recollections gathered years after events, especially accounts of Lincoln’s relationship with Ann Rutledge. In the early 1990s, however, meticulous studies by Lincoln scholars Douglas L. Wilson and John Y. Simon confirmed the basic reliability of the evidence. (Photo this page: Library of Congress)

THOMAS “TAJ” E. AINLAY JR. ’73, The Seven Spices, (EZway Books, LLC – ISBN: 978- 0-9710484-0-9). Thomas Ainlay wrote most of The Seven Spices while living in Tokyo, where he became acquainted with shichimi, a Japanese seasoning that contains seven spices – hence, the title of his most recent book of poems. This collection of 44 poems, written on three continents and more than a quarter century in the making, is arranged into seven illustrated sections. Ain- lay reflects on the topics of love, nature, family, passion, self, death and spirit. Ainlay says he is fortunate “to have lived a most delectably varied 57 years in Asia, Europe and North America.” Richness of taste, he states, is not possible without mixtures challenging to the palate, and not all of them are pleasurable. He also believes that richness in life is the same, and in The Seven Spices he shares some bitter moments and some sweet ones, hoping that a little spice might be added to readers’ lives.

NICOLE M. BROCKMANN, assistant professor of music, From Sight to Sound: Improvisa- tional Games for Classical Musicians (Indiana University Press – ISBN: 978-0-253-22064-6). From Sight to Sound provides practical and creative techniques for classical improvisation for musicians of all levels and instruments, solo or in ensembles. The exercises in this text build aural and com- municative skills, instrumental technique and musical understanding. When students use their own instruments to execute and improvise on theoretical concepts, they make vivid connections between abstract ideas and their own playing. This then allows the students to unite performance with music theory, ear-training, historical style and context, chamber music skills and listening skills. Many of the exercises in this book are designed for players working in pairs or small groups, so performers also learn to communicate with one another and build an atmosphere of trust in which creativity and spontaneity may flourish.

Historic Scholarship Program for DePauw University, Gulick skillfully tells us not only about the man but also about Rector’s endeavor to set up and maintain a scholarship program that would attract to DePauw some of the best and brightest graduates from high schools throughout America, and further to ensure that these gifted students could attend. This is the story of the fulfillment of Rector’s dreams and the stresses and successes of the program that is so closely intertwined with the history of DePauw itself. An Investment in Humanity pays homage to Edward Rector, whose scholarship donation to DePauw in 1919 was the largest in history to an Indiana school and one of the biggest ever to a small liberal arts college.

Through case studies from around the world, Hall and Fenelon demonstrate how indigenous peoples’ movements can be understood only by linking highly localized processes with larger global and historical forces. The authors show that indigenous peoples have been resisting and adapting to encounters with states for millennia. Unlike other antiglobaliza- tion activists, indigenous peoples primarily seek autonomy and the right to determine their own processes of adaptation and change, especially in relationship to their origin lands and community. The authors link their analyses to current understandings of the evolution of globalization.

JO PETRY HERSHBERGER ’57, Some Good Memory (Outskirts Press, Inc. – ISBN: 978- 1-4327-2513-6). In the fall of 1947, newcomer Kate Freeman feels like a social misfit until she joins three seventh-grade classmates for an after-school bicycle ride to the local cemetery. On their way home, the four girls share an experience that frightens them so badly that they vow never to tell another soul. That pledge forms the foundation for a friendship that molds them into a tight unit. When the four enter high school, circumstances beyond their control begin to crack their solidarity. Reluctantly, they drift apart. Their close friendship, however, remains a cherished memory – one that is strong enough to bring them together more than 50 years later when one faces serious problems. Some Good Memory spans the jukebox years after World War II to the somber days following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Full of the flavor of history, it is most of all a story of lifelong friendship – one that makes the reader smile and recall, “I once had a group like that.”

ELLEN WORK JAVERNICK ’60 and Kevin O’Malley, illustrator, The Birthday Pet (Marshall Cavendish Children – ISBN: 978-0-7614-5522-6). One day Ellen Javernick was helping a young boy to his feet after he collided with a boisterous puppy. Unhappy and with tears in his eyes, the boy looked up and said, “I told them I wanted a turtle for my birthday, but they got me this dog.” This incident provided the spark for Javernick’s delightful new rhyming book, The Birthday Pet, beautifully illustrated by Kevin O’Malley. Danny, the young boy in the story, wants a pet turtle for his birthday, but family members all have different ideas. As members of his family speak to him, Danny is wearing things that look “turtleish.” The simple verse permits readers to anticipate and complete the rhymes as each page is turned. In the end, everyone – including Danny – is happy. There is a brief note in the front of the book that reminds readers that box turtles need proper care. This is a wonderful read-aloud book.

In Pioneer- ing Women in American Mathematics, the authors identify all of the 228 American women who earned Ph.D. degrees in mathematics before 1940, and they provide extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them, revealing insight into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked.

ROGER B. NELSEN ’64 and Claudi Aisina, When Less Is More: Visualizing Basic Inequalities (The Mathematical Association of America – ISBN: 978-0-88385-342-9). Inequalities permeate mathematics from the Elements of Euclid to operations research and financial mathematics. Too often, especially in secondary and collegiate mathematics, the emphasis is on things equal to one another rather than unequal. While equalities and identities are without doubt important, they don’t possess the richness and variety that one finds with inequalities. The objective ofWhen Less Is More is to illustrate how the use of visualization can be a powerful tool for better understanding some basic mathematical inequalities. They show how to produce figures in a systematic way for the illustration of inequalities and open new avenues to creative ways of thinking and teaching.

21 An extraordinary year at DePauw By Brian W. Casey President

22 The past year has been a remarkably challenging one for institutions of higher education, as the global economic downturn put pressure on endowments and giving decreased. U.S. colleges and universities nationwide faced difficult choices. DePauw, too, faced decisions as we grappled with both the impact of the downturn and the need to eliminate pressures on our operating budget caused by rising health insurance and energy costs, increased costs of debt, and challenges resulting from Walden Inn operations. Through a rigorous process of carefully reviewing and tightening the budgets for every division of the University, combined with two special Board of Trustees committees that reviewed our health insurance costs and the operations of the Walden Inn & Conference Center (chaired by Michael L. Smith ’70 and Erik G. Nelson ’61, respectively), the Board of Trustees was able to approve a 2009-10 operating budget that shows a small surplus. Composing this budget required a number of difficult decisions, including: • A reduction of 13 term-limited faculty positions and 17 staff positions through attrition • No salary increases for faculty and staff members T• A reduction in the University’s contribution toward retiree healthcare •One-time cuts in equipment and maintenance budgets A balanced budget is a good first step. Unfortunately, continued economic uncertainty and market volatility are likely to negatively affect the University’s finances for a number of years as DePauw’s endowment, gifts and tuition revenue slowly recover from their lows. Continued cost- saving measures will be required in the years ahead, and this will mean more difficult decisions for DePauw. In the next year, we will maintain our hiring freeze. This means, on the academic side of the house, that as term appointments for non-tenured faculty come due, we will not renew these positions. This will place increased burdens on the remaining faculty members, a situation that we cannot tolerate for long without harming our academic enterprise. We will monitor this situation very closely. We will also continue to review the operations of the Walden Inn and its associated conference center and the institution’s benefit structure with the help of appropriate faculty committees as well as special Board of Trustee committees. I will continue to communicate with the campus and alumni community to let all know how we are managing this situation. Know that every decision we make will be driven by the impact on our students and the living and learning experience at DePauw. We will remain extremely focused on this, our core mission.

There is a strong temptation during times of profound uncertainty to put on the brakes, to retreat, to hunker down and wait out the storm. The institutions that will emerge from this period the strongest, however, will be those who take advantage of this opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses, to review and renew their commitment to their missions, and to ensure that every dollar and every resource is spent in creating the most powerful and effective educational experience possible for their students.

23 These are times that test the mettle of a school. There is a strong temptation during times of profound uncertainty to put on the brakes, to retreat, to hunker down and wait out the storm. The institutions that will emerge from this period the strongest, however, will be those who take advantage of this opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses, to review and renew their commitment to their missions, and to ensure that every dollar and every resource is spent in creating the most powerful and effective educational experience possible for their students. We must ensure that this is true for DePauw. For this reason, we have identified a number of key strategic initiatives to pursue in the years ahead.

• First, we will evaluate and re-invigorate our academic programs and curriculum, a process that is already underway, spearheaded by the faculty. Operating under the banner of “intellectual life discussions,” we are asking how we can ensure that DePauw continues to be, simply, one of the most invigorating and exciting places to live and learn in the country.

Above, President Brian W. Casey takes questions during an Intellectual Life panel discussion during Alumni Reunion Weekend in June.

24 • Second, with assistance from one of the top campus planning firms in the world, we will examine our campus and the ways in which we use it, to be certain we are making the most of our rich resources and the beauty of our environment. At a school like DePauw, how we live and learn is very much dependent on the ways in which we encounter each other. The campus must, as a whole, feel like a well-knit fabric. DePauw has built many new structures over the last several years. It is time to look at the whole plan. We will not build a new structure without first developing a plan that ensures that all capital projects serve our students and our faculty.

• Finally, we will develop a coherent and powerful plan for communicating with the outside world about what makes DePauw so special, beginning with our admission operations, so that DePauw is more consistently in the thoughts and dreams for the future of intelligent and talented students everywhere. A third special Board of Trustee Committee, chaired by board member R. Lee Wilson ’76, is looking at how we can strengthen our outreach efforts. I have said that DePauw is a jewel of a college; it cannot be a hidden jewel.

I encourage you to read more about these critical initiatives in the following stories in this issue of DePauw Magazine. DePauw’s alumni have welcomed me and sustained me through this challenging first year, and I thank you for it. Your continued support of DePauw makes all the difference in the world; it is, and always has been, one of the pillars of DePauw’s strength and success through the decades. With your help, we will continue to press forward, demanding the best from ourselves and our school, so that in future years a DePauw education is more widely recognized for what it is, one of the very finest in the world.

25 DePauw defies trend, enrolls more than 700 new students Admission By Christopher J. Wells Interim Vice President for Admission and Financial Aid

Admission offices at colleges and universities across the United States experienced an unusual and challenging year. In the wake of a severe downturn in the global economy, predictions of doom came fast and furious, with the media forecasting lowered numbers of applications, lower yields on accepted students and increased financial need for students requiring financial aid. Elite private colleges such as DePauw were expected to be affected especially hard because students tend to set their sights lower during economic downturns and look toward less selec- tive colleges and public universities. In the end, many private institutions did indeed struggle to bring in their classes, including a number of DePauw’s peer schools. DePauw defied the trend somewhat dramatically, however, so we expect to greet a class of more than 700 first-year students this fall, a bumper crop of talented young men and women. Defying expectations, the University actually received more applications and yielded a higher percentage of accepted students during this challenging year than in the preceding one, and the incoming class is academically strong, with ACT scores higher than in previous years. The class is also diverse, both domestically and internationally, continuing DePauw’s commitment to prepare our students for the complex world of cultural differences they will face upon graduation. Citizens of 20 countries, from Bangladesh to Zimbabwe, are members of DePauw’s Class of 2013, as are residents from 31 states. The School of Music also recruited a strong class, with a good mix of musicians; enrollment across instrumental areas will be the most balanced it has been in years. The work of admission and financial aid staff members was enhanced by a number of changes designed to better showcase the strength of DePauw’s academic, intellectual and creative life:

• In fall 2008, DePauw launched a redesigned homepage, which offered visitors to the Web site a more direct sense of the kinds of educational experiences offered to DePauw students, and more direct evidence of the quality of our faculty members and their dedication to teaching.

26 • A new series of blogs, regular journals about the DePauw experience written by current DePauw students, gave student visitors an inside view of what it feels like to be a DePauw student.

• DePauw worked to bring more prospective students to campus, increasing the number of our visitors compared to previous years. Campus visits are always the best way to show families what is special about DePauw.

• During a time when families are particularly concerned about the value their education dollars are buying, many families were comforted by President Brian Casey’s appearances in front of groups of visiting students, where he explained the true value of a quality liberal arts education and shared his excitement about what is possible for students at DePauw.

DePauw must build on successes of the past year in order to continue strong in the future. National demographics are changing, and the competition for students among quality colleges will become increasingly fierce. Our students and their families also have been affected by the economic downturn, and financial aid needs have risen. In this environment, alumni support of the DePauw Annual Fund is even more crucial to bolstering DePauw’s efforts to recruit talented students and provide them with the best possible experience during their years in Greencastle.

We must continue striving to ensure that a DePauw education is accessible to the kinds of students DePauw has always attracted – bright, creative, courageous young people who make a difference in the world. One of the most important ways in which alumni can support DePauw is to recommend qualified students to the Office of Admission.

27 Campus Planning

A well-designed campus is a key element to support the mission of DePauw as a liberal arts college, and it enhances the intellectual, social and cultural fabric of both the University and city of Greencastle. DePauw is working with one of the world’s top campus planning firms, Ayers Saint Gross, to develop a campus plan that will enliven and enrich the current facilities, guide future growth and provide a variety of designs, while strengthening DePauw’s relationship with the town. Colleges and universities must periodically and systematically evaluate their core assets and consider the ways in which they are being used to serve their mission. Parallel to DePauw’s evalua- tion of its intellectual life through a campus-wide review of the academic program and curriculum, a review of the quality of spaces and facilities in which students and faculty work is underway. This review is critical because the quality of the University’s environs is essential to a positive experience for students and faculty members. The campus setting and experience also figure into the decisions made by prospective students.

28 Perhaps the most pressing reason for the campus plan, however, is that after a period of con- siderable expansion of the campus’s infrastructure, the University faces a number of significant space issues. The scale and reach of the campus has been greatly expanded, yet the core of the campus is marked by a number of large, ill-defined spaces. The entrance to the campus is unclear, and current circulation patterns typically bring visitors and members of the community through a maze of uninspiring spaces to reach central buildings. The current configuration of buildings may not provide enough of the serendipitous encounters among students, or between students and faculty members, that are the hallmark of a great liberal arts campus. Further, some buildings appear underutilized, while others may not meet the needs of current students. Solving several of DePauw’s space problems probably won’t require construction of new facilities, because the campus has sufficient gross square footage to meet the needs of the current student, faculty and staff population as well as existing academic and social programs. Instead, solutions are likely to require careful and considered reuse of existing space as well as tactical interventions in campus landscaping and community members’ circulation patterns to enhance the campus’s appearance and use. DePauw’s new plan to guide decisions about use of campus space will include recommendations about how to: • Enhance the intellectual and social experience of the campus. • Better connect the campus to the city of Greencastle. • Enhance current “first encounters” with the campus as part of an overall admission strategy. •Better integrate distant precincts of the campus into an integrated whole, including athletic facilities, the DePauw Nature Park and The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics.

29 Intellectual Life

Changing the academic structures and policies of a college or university can be a difficult undertaking. Some institutions work long and hard on projects only to end up with little change to show for their efforts. The difficulty lies in the complexity of contemporary education. Academic programs must be responsive to the needs of students and faculty members working in many different and constantly evolving disciplines, and we must consider both what will best attract and serve students today, and what will prepare them for the decades that lie ahead. Nevertheless, one of the great strengths of the American system of higher education is its willingness to constantly examine itself, re-assessing its strengths and weaknesses, and healthy institutions inevitably engage in this process, identifying and supporting what works well, and enhancing what does not. During the Faculty Institute (a special meeting of the faculty held each year just prior to the start of classes) at the beginning of his first year in Greencastle, President Brian Casey asked the faculty to consider the state of academic and intellectual life at DePauw by considering a set of questions designed to begin a conversation with the faculty that could lead to a rigorous process of self-assessment of DePauw’s educational program. Based on faculty conversations at the Faculty Institute, President Casey issued a set of charges to faculty members, asking that they specifically consider aspects of DePauw, including graduation requirements, Winter Term, use of campus space and role of internships in a DePauw education. The full set of charges is available online at www.depauw.edu/acad/facgov. These charges led to open meetings and discussions on campus that brought together the perspectives and ideas of DePauw faculty, staff members and students. Formal reports from faculty committees and student government were presented to the Board of Trustees at its January meeting, and the board strongly expressed its enthusiasm for the faculty’s continued work on these issues. Throughout the spring semesters, 40 proposals related to the president’s charges were developed and discussed by faculty, staff members and students. The proposals formed the basis for a series of straw polls at the faculty’s meeting in May 2009 with additional online polls completed by students and staff. In parallel, the faculty formed a summer working group to further develop proposals for concrete changes that will start to be discussed by the faculty as a whole in the fall of 2009, beginning with the Faculty Institute in August. Alumni have an important perspective to offer to these discussions. As the faculty discussions develop during the coming academic year, information will be made available via the DePauw Web site.

Alumni who would like to share their thoughts and ideas about the future of De- Pauw’s academic, intellectual and artistic programs before then are encouraged to send them to [email protected].

30 Faculty to consider DePauw curriculum throughout the school year

The classroom is the center of intellectual life at DePauw, but classroom work is carried into the thoughts and discussions of the entire University community and enhanced by its diversity of cultures, perspectives and experiences. With that in mind, this summer a group of nine faculty members studied ways to heighten the quality of intellectual life for both students and faculty members at DePauw. Based on reading, talking with others, and extensive and vigorous discussions, they evaluated a host of proposals that emerged from faculty discussions during the 2008-09 academic year. Then they produced a report that offers a series of recommendations regarding academic, developmental and lifelong learning goals that DePauw has for its graduates. The working group’s recommendations, if accepted by the full faculty, would revise DePauw’s curriculum, which has not changed substantially since the late 1970s. The group argues in its report that any curricular changes should emphasize students’ first two years at DePauw as a time for foundational learning, intensive exploration, and the teaching of writing, speaking and problem-solving; give students greater autonomy as they grow at DePauw; reinvigorate Winter Term; and recognize senior year as a time for deep exploration of a given subject and for synthesis of the liberal arts education as a whole. To achieve these goals, the summer working group offered these four proposals:

•A three-seminar sequence in which a Summer Working Group, seated from left: Nicole Brockmann, Jeanette Pope and Rebecca Schindler. Standing, from left: David revitalized First-Year Seminar leads into a Gellman, Howard Brooks, Howard Pollack-Milgate, Bruce Sanders, spring First-Year Practicum in which writing Joe Heithaus and Anne Harris. and speaking are intentionally taught; and then into a second-year Sophomore Seminar where students research, write and present ideas in a small, discussion-based setting.

•Revised distribution requirements that better reflect what DePauw wants to accomplish through the roughly two-thirds of students’ education outside the major. In general, the working group recommended two courses in the sciences and mathematics, two courses in the social sciences, and two courses in the humanities – or six courses, each of which must come from a different department or program and completed by the end of the sophomore year. The current quantitative reasoning competency course and language requirement would remain and would be completed by the end of the second year.

31 •New approaches to Winter Term that increase its academic rigor, student-faculty contact and relevance as well as ways to leverage this short, intensive time for a variety of intellectual purposes linked to either fall or spring semester.

•A senior capstone requirement for a more ambitious, University-wide approach to the senior year. Possibilities include a new system of departmental honors based on the quality of senior thesis work and capstone presentations in the second half of the spring semester. These would be the focus of a campus-wide celebration of student accomplishments and might include paper and poster presentations, performances, readings and art exhibitions by seniors. The best theses and projects would be presented at a reworked academic awards convocation. The summer working group added other recommendations to enhance intellectual life at DePauw. For example, group members encourage the University to foster more opportunities for intellectual, creative and artistic exchange between the College of Liberal Arts and School of Music, which celebrates its 125th anniversary during the 2009-10 academic year. The group’s primary focus on the curriculum gives the University community plenty to think about, explore and debate.

32 Student spotlight Graham Williams ’10 makes the most of his time at DePauw

Graham D. Williams ’10 will be among the first people that incoming freshmen will meet at DePauw this fall. Beginning his second year in the campus mentoring program, Williams enjoys providing new students with the same guidance that he received when he first came to DePauw. “I had a really good first-year mentor when I came to DePauw, and I ended up getting close to those in my group,” Williams says. “When I joined the mentoring program, I wanted to facilitate other students who are trying to get used to the college atmosphere here. As a new student, having a group that you can get close with and make friends with is really helpful.” Williams remembers his biggest hurdle as a new college student. “For me, it was the classes,” he says. “There was a big-time management difference, and it was easy to feel overwhelmed. Now it’s just, well, I’ve got work to do, so I’m going to go do it.” Williams may have been overwhelmed early on, but he quickly expanded his involvement with a variety of academic programs. He started at DePauw as a member of the Information Technology Associates Program (ITAP). Williams, a biochemistry major, saw ITAP as an opportunity to integrate computers with the science he would be studying. As a sophomore, Williams again increased his workload, this time by laterally entering into the Science Research Fellows (SRF) program. “My heart was set on becoming a doctor, but then I realized that doing research would be just as rewarding,” Williams says. “In my first year in SRF, I did research with [Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry] Dan Gurnon on HTLV-1, a retrovirus that causes leukemia and lymphoma.” Williams also is co-president elect of the DePauw Global Health Initiative, a student group that promotes the study of public health issues. The group has brought numerous authorities on public health to campus, including James T. Morris, former “My heart was set on president of the United Nations Global Food Programme, and Dr. Kenrad E. Nelson ’54, professor of epidemiology at becoming a doctor, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Williams pursued his current ITAP internship as webmaster for the DePauw but then I realized Sustainability Initiative because he felt that the issues of sustainability and public health are directly related. “In order to leave a better, healthier world for our children, we need to make it possible to have as little of a harmful that doing research impact on the world as we can,” Williams explains. would be just as During the summer, Williams continued his interest in research at Harvard’s Mucosal Immunology Laboratory, led rewarding.” by W. Allan Walker ’59, where he studied cholera toxin and its effects on the intestinal tracts of infants. Entering his senior year, Williams is thankful for his decision to attend DePauw. The opportunities open to students with different interests, he says, are something that keeps the small campus diverse. “I’ve met a lot of people who I wouldn’t have been around otherwise, and they’ve been awesome. There are more than 100 clubs on campus. There are definitely ways for people to get involved, no matter what their interests.”

33 Faculty spotlight Sherry Mou shares history of Chinese women

When Associate Professor of Asian Studies Sherry J. Mou came to DePauw in 2002, Chinese culture was still rela- tively unknown to most Westerners. Since then, much has changed. China’s continued transition to an open economy has raised its Gross Domestic Product at a rate greater than any nation in the world, and in November 2008 China overtook Japan as the United States’ largest debt holder. A record American television audience watched Chinese athletes win 51 gold medals at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, which began with an unforgettable ceremony that demonstrated China’s seriousness in promoting its image worldwide. Now, students come to Mou with hopes of getting a spot in one of her classes on Chinese culture. “I get asked, when is your class? How can I get in?” Mou says. “Young people now immediately understand China’s importance in their daily lives, and they want to learn more about the country.” Mou, who is originally from Taiwan, has researched thousands of years of Chinese biographies and literature to examine the development of Chinese society, particularly the impact of Confucianism on the lives of women. Confucius, a Chinese philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE, developed a system of ethics and social responsibilities that, even after China’s communist revolution of the 1940s, continues to guide the Chinese people. Mou believes that its teachings also provided women with a great deal of power in a society governed by men. “China is still very much Confucian, and the family is the basic unit of a Confucian society,” Mou says. “The mother is very important because she deals with the family’s daily problems while the father is away. This role is held in high regard in Confucianism, which places great emphasis on this world and the day-to-day activities of people. “I think there was always an undercurrent of female influence that wasn’t apparent to non-Confucian societies. Looking at Chinese literature from the outside, Western scholars typically don’t see women, but women played very strong roles in the family and household, and therefore society. For example, in pre-modern China, when a father would pass away, the son would return to mourn him for three years. But it was the mother who could say, ‘All right, you’ve mourned enough, time to go back to your work.’ A mother has a big say in many of these cultural elements. If you don’t see these elements because in your culture they aren’t as important, then women don’t seem important either.” Outside of the family, Chinese women have been romanticized for a millennium by male authors, but not in the way you might think. A genre of literature first seen in the 10th century CE has followed the lady knight-errant, a wandering female warrior who travels the land in search of justice. While researching this literary tradition, Mou found that the characters the stories depict are very much based on historical fact. Three thousand years ago, a woman named Fu Hao commanded an army of thousands, making her the most powerful Chinese military leader of her time, male or female. While teaching at Wellesley College, Mou was guest editor of the Winter 2001-2002 issue of Chinese Studies in History, titled “Women Warriors in China,” which documents Fu Hao and many other prominent female warriors in Chinese history. The story of the lady knight-errant has continued in films such as King Hu’s Come Drink With Me, and spread to American theatres with Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill series, which pays homage to Hong Kong’s Shaw Brothers film studio. While working on a book about traditionalism in Chinese film, Mou discovered a new female role that she believes is a combination of the Confucian mother and the lady knight in these films. “It’s interesting because the two seem to be contradictory,” Mou

34 says, “with one being a roaming seeker of justice, alone and independent with a sharp sense of justice, and the other being maternal and rooted with her family. In past films, they seem to be opposites. I think this character was created because of the growing market economy that has been practiced in China for the past two decades. New kinds of crimes became rampant, similar to what has happened on Wall Street, where wrongs have been done before there are laws against those practices. This character is a creation to deal with these wrongs on screen for a frustrated audience.” While much of her research is now focused on China’s modern culture, Mou insists that the country’s past holds the key to understanding its current affairs. “Studying China is no different than studying the United States. If you truly want to understand China, you have to understand its history or you will misread modern events. I try to pull out parts of the country’s tradition to help students understand modern China. More “Young people now immediately than that, I want students to understand the relationship China has with America,” Mou says. understand China’s importance in their daily lives, and they want to learn more about the country.”

35 Student spotlight Ganga Devaiah ’11 is a documentarian with a cause

She was named after one of India’s most sacred landmarks – one that was recently deemed the national river of India and provides water for more than 400 million Indians. This same river also suffers from more pollution than any other river in India, containing industrial sewage, dead bodies and household garbage. Ganga C. Devaiah ’11 wanted to bring to life environmental concerns surrounding India’s most utilized body of water – the Ganges River. “This river is special to Indians. It is the most holy river for Hindus, and people use it for every ritual, from mar- riages to funerals,” Devaiah said. The river is a goddess in Hindu myth, and many people wash themselves and the bodies of their loved ones to purify their souls. When people cannot afford proper burial or wood for cremation, she says they sometimes dispense deceased loved ones into the river. Many superstitions about the river also lead to further pollution, such as its reputed healing power for the ill, and sacred animals such as cows are placed in the river. “They revere this river, but it’s so polluted that it’s killing them,” she said. The largest sources of pollution are un- treated industrial and domestic waste. Organizations such as Eco Friends have been working with lawmakers to clean the river by creating programs such as the Ganga Action Plan and pushing to ban the disposal of any pollutants into the river. Devaiah joined in the cause by participating in a DePauw Winter Term Independent Study project through Eco Friends, who helped her make a documentary on the subject. “I was always interested in film and those kinds of mediums. It’s a good way to propagate your ideas,” she said. “I really wanted to do something about this problem in the world, so this seemed like a good avenue for my interests.” She decided to convey her message through film because it would reach out to a broader audience and allow others to see the damage with their own eyes. “If I just did research, I’d forget about the importance of the issue, and people won’t always see it,” Devaiah said. “With film, people get to visually go there and see it for themselves. Environmental problems move around so easily, from the air to water – it never stays in one place. It’s a cycle.” Since she arrived on campus in 2007, Devaiah has been involved in D3TV and has served on its board of directors as director of promotion and outreach as well as the director for scheduling and operations. She hails from Burma, now officially called the Union of Myanmar, and has been studying in the United States for two years. She hopes to spread awareness of environmental concerns outside of the United States to students at DePauw. “I wanted to bring something to DePauw that was international. I wanted people to see something beyond America,” she said. “Environmental issues are for everyone, not just people interested in the environment.” Before becoming involved with D3TV, Devaiah had no prior film experience. She learned the ins and outs of film- making from working at the D3TV station and her freshman Winter Term course, Making a Scene. “I had zero video experience before coming in,” she said. “Making a Scene introduced me to all this video editing and filming.” With a major in economics and minors in conflict studies and geosciences, Devaiah looked at the project through a variety of lenses. She found the documentary very interdisciplinary, involving conflict studies, political science, anthropology, earth sciences, communication and economics. Above, scenes from Ganga Devaiah’s documentary, The Dream for a River.

36 She chose to feature a number of perspectives on the issue but found that they converged on the same idea: the river needs to be cleaned. Devaiah interviewed farmers, boatmen, a professor working on the Ganga Action Plan, a priest, workers who perform cremations, her supervisors and a chemist from a water treatment plant. Devaiah plans to continue exploring environmental issues through film and hopes her documentary will open people’s eyes to the problems and solutions at hand. “It’s our cultural heritage. It’s essential to our Indian identity, and it’s being destroyed.” During Earth Week, the DePauw Environmental Club featured her documentary in a special showing, and the Information Technology Associates Program showed the film for its culture series in late April. Director of Television Operations Larry Abed provided his insight during the production process and helped Devaiah get the necessary equipment to shoot the documentary. “With film, people get “As soon as I saw it, I thought she should enter it in a contest.

37 Faculty spotlight Greg L. Schwipps ’95 encourages students to find their own voice

The first thing a student sees when walking into Professor of English Greg L. Schwipps’ office is a map of the state of Indiana – a door-sized print of the state’s streams and lakes that resembles an illustration of the human circulatory system. “I think it’s the campus’s largest map of Indiana,” Schwipps ’95 says, laughing. “I love to have it up because you can see the town names. When students from Indiana come into my office, we can talk about where they’re from on the map.” Schwipps was raised in the lower right of the map, in rural Milan, Ind., whose claim to fame is its 1954 state champion basketball team, the inspiration for the filmHoosiers. (Unfortunately, more people are familiar with Hickory, Ind. – Milan’s fictional counterpart in the film – than know of Milan.) When he left home to study at DePauw in 1991, he found that years of farm life and catching catfish were a deep well of experience from which he could draw. “I came to DePauw straight from the farm,” Schwipps says. “I knew I was going to go to college, but I didn’t know what I was going to do when I got there. For a kid from a rural environment, it took me a while to realize that the stories I had from the farm were different from other students, but they weren’t less important. Then I realized that not only could I write about those things, but also I should because fewer people from my background had the same opportunity. I wrote stories that stood out because, if nothing else, nobody was writing about catfish or cows.” His recent novel, What This River Keeps, is a continuation of the same themes he wrote about as an undergraduate. Schwipps points to the book as an example of his message to students: that their best writing is going to come from their truest material. “There can be a lot of pressure to portray yourself through your writing in a certain way. Even if students feel a bit odd writing about something that isn’t popular, it’s absolutely crucial for them to write what they are most passionate about.” The stories written by Schwipps’ students reflect how different their most heartfelt material can be. “I have a student from a rough school in Indianapolis,” Schwipps tells. “She wrote a story about two warring female gangs from her school and about the initiation rites, the ‘jump in’ where everybody would beat the heck out of a girl. She’d seen one of these happen. That’s completely removed from my experience, and I’m so proud of her because it blew the class away. That’s a world we hadn’t seen. It doesn’t matter if the story is fiction or nonfiction; you want a student to bring a different world into class, and that’s exactly what she did.” “Everyone has their own reason for writing,” Katherine E. Maclin ’09 says. “Some people keep their work private; others choose to share it. I write to keep my grandfather’s World War II experience alive. This will be a piece of writing that my family and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. I think that it’s important to share our stories or keep a record for ourselves because we don’t realize how easily they can be forgotten.” Whether or not his students plan to become writers, Schwipps wants them to reflect back on what it is they’ve experienced and to learn about what they really value. Carolyn E. Mueller ’09, another of his students, agrees that writing can be as much about introspection as it is about sharing. “I probably learn something about myself every time I write because I am able to examine an event, or a place, or the person I am writing about from a more intimate perspective,” she says. “It’s definitely a way to sort through my thoughts.”

38 “Students are at such an interesting point in their lives,” Schwipps explains. “They come here, and in many ways, they’re reinventing themselves.” To broaden their college experience, Schwipps asks freshmen in his first-year seminar to write a piece of creative nonfiction about something in Putnam County unrelated to DePauw. It’s a way for students – especially those who aren’t used to rural life – to discover the local treasures that require a bit of exploration to find. “When students come here,” Schwipps says, “it doesn’t take long for them to say, I wish we had a mall, or I wish we had a club. I tell students that they don’t need to point out what we don’t have. What we could use are some students to “Young people now go out and find the things that are here. Tell us what we don’t know. Tell us about the off-beat business that just opened on immediately understand the square, or about the woman who raises herbs outside of Fillmore. Why not figure out what it means to live in a small China’s importance in their town while you’re here? In some tiny way, I hope my map is telling students to look around – that this is ok, too.” daily lives, and they want to learn more about the country.” To read more about Schwipps’ recent novel, What This River Keeps, go to Recent Words on page 21 in this magazine.

Alumni cyclists join students for Little 5 race For the third time in the history of the Little 5, an Alumni Bike Race was held in conjunction with student races. The 53rd running of the Little 5 was held at Blackstock Stadium on Saturday, April 18. For the second year in a row, the alumni race field consisted of 23 avid cyclists. Some alumni’s interest in cycling was born from the Little 5, because that race was their first exposure to the sport of competitive cycling. The 2009 race featured both the youngest and oldest competitors ever: Katie E. Doogan ’08 and Jack F. Martin ’69. The alumni race festivities started on Friday when a number of the riders went on an af- ternoon training ride. The casual ride allowed alumni to catch up with some old friends and to make new ones as they rode through the back roads of Putnam County. Alumni Race director Kent A. Billingsley ’80 said, “The level of interest and support from the alumni this year was outstanding. The Alumni Relations Office, Student Steering Com- mittee and Professor [of communication and theatre] Kent Menzel were invaluable in helping this year’s event be so successful. We had for the second consecutive year 23 racers, and half of them were repeaters from the previous year.” Alumni from both coasts of the country flew in to participate. The 50-minute race was scored in four age categories: Masters 30 (for alumni under the age of 39), Masters 40, 50 and 60. The overall winner of the race was Scott D. Kuiper ’83. The category winners were: Masters 30 Masters 50 1st – Jesse W. Williams ’07 1st – James S. Cunning ’74 2nd – James J. Griffin ’96 2nd – Kent A. Billingsley ’80 3rd – Brandon T. Money ’07 3rd – Robert P. Janowski ’81

Masters 40 Masters 60 1st – Scott D. Kuiper ’83 1st– Peter M. Donahower ’70 2nd – Richard T. Born ’83 2nd – Jack F. Martin ’69 3rd – Stephen M. Smith ’87

Scott D. Kuiper The Alumni Bike Race is open to all alumni, and you do not have to be a former Little 5 rider. So if you have taken up the sport of cycling since leaving DePauw, consider joining the race next year. Questions and inquires about the race should be directed to Kent Billingsley at [email protected].

Do you winter in a "snowbird" state?

Several thousand DePauw alumni spend time in Florida or Arizona each winter, and the Alumni Office would like to be able to invite all of them to the alumni events held there. Please let us know when and where you will be during the next season, so we can help you get together with fellow alumni. You might be surprised to find an old (figuratively speaking) roommate or college friend spending the winter near you!

If this message applies to you, please visit the DePauw Alumni Gateway at www.depauw.edu/e/alu/. We can even forward DePauw Magazine and other class information to your seasonal address during the months you are there.

80 DePauw Profile Bob and Sally Carpenter give to encourage tomorrow’s leaders Robert R. and Sally (Henning ’79) Carpenter ’78 are enjoy- ing an active early retirement, thanks to success in business and their DePauw educations. Bob, who majored in political science and history and was –––––––––––– a member of Delta Chi, became interested in international affairs after participating in overseas programs in Vienna and Budapest while a student at DePauw. After receiving a M.A. “… we felt in Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia and M.B.A. degree from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University, a need he worked for 25 years for information technology services companies doing business all over the world. He retired as CEO to support of IHS (Information Handling Services). “My DePauw education studying the politics, culture DePauw and history of countries left me exceptionally well prepared when we did business in those Robert R. and Sally (Henning ’79) places,” said Bob, who lives in Winnetka, Ill. “Many of our foreign business affiliates were Carpenter ’78 for future surprised I knew about the history and politics of their countries. It was a significant boost to my business career.” generations.” Sally, who also traveled to Vienna as a student, loved every aspect of DePauw’s liberal arts –––––––––––– environment. An elementary education major and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, she made friends at DePauw who are still good friends 30 years later. Sally taught for 13 years, with a break in the middle to raise their daughter, Kristen, and son, William, who is now a sophomore at DePauw. The Carpenters, who met in an oceanography class at DePauw, have been married almost 27 years. They are active helping nonprofits with strategic planning, distance learning and community service. For example, Bob serves on the President’s Council of the Colonial Wil- liamsburg Foundation, although he joked “they haven’t identified a character for me yet. I’m too stout to be Jefferson.” In the spirit of giving back, Bob and Sally have included in their will a bequest to benefit the Rector Scholars Program. “I received support from both the Rector Scholar and William Wallace Carson History programs, and we felt a need to support DePauw for future generations,” Bob said. “It’s an acknowlegement of the wonderful academic A bequest in your will is perhaps the easiest way and social experience we had at DePauw, as well as our belief in the to ensure DePauw’s quality academic programs importance and role of small universities in educating tomorrow’s and talented faculty members are available and leaders.” accessible to future generations of students.
