  • KANSAS CITY OR BUST: the Methodist Plan to Relocate Baker
    KANSAS CITY OR BUST: The Methodist Plan to Relocate Baker University, 1927-1939 Zac K. T. DeGreeff Conference of the Kansas Association of Historians 2021 1In early 1931, the quiet campus of Baker University in the small community of Baldwin City, Kansas was visited by a series of gentlemen tasked with assessing the school. Each of the three men assigned to evaluate Baker represented the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the highest Methodist association in the nation. The men belonged to an organization, known as the Commission on Survey, which published a Report of a Survey of Baker University in July of that year.2 Within its assessment, the report argued that Baker University should reconsider its chosen location in Baldwin City and move to a more advantageous location— Kansas City.3 The Commission on Survey asked Baker University to consider moving for several reasons including: the merger between Baker University and Missouri Wesleyan College, the threat of competition by surrounding schools, the Methodist concept of the Social Creed, and the hazardous economic effects of the Great Depression. The Commission on Survey claimed their repetitive argument of relocation as a panacea for Baker University’s challenges—the implications of the merger, outside competition, serving the Church, and maintaining economic stability—was aimed purely toward Baker University’s preservation. However, it quickly becomes apparent that the push to change the location was primarily driven by the interest of the Commission on Survey in furthering the influence of the Church. This incident has implications for the relationship between the Methodist Episcopal Church and its member institutions because it provides an example of a small school whose loyalty to its denomination, its identity, and its community were tested by the interests of the broader Church authorities.
