  • The History of Baker University Men's Track and Field Andrew Mcgregor HI 436 Senior Thesis Dr. Exon April 2, 2007
    The History of Baker University Men’s Track and Field Andrew McGregor HI 436 Senior Thesis Dr. Exon April 2, 2007 McGregor 2 Intercollegiate athletics came to national prominence in the late nineteenth century; football, baseball, and track and field were among the earliest organized.1 Football is often the most popular sport and has garnered more attention from universities, journalists, and historians. Success in football was important to universities as it led to enhanced name recognition, revenue, and elevated student and alumni morale. Track and field on the other hand is considered by journalists and universities to be a second tier sport; one that accrues no revenue, honors individuals over institutions, and where success is sometimes difficult to measure.2 Yet, as one of the few original Olympic sports sponsored by institutions of higher education, track and field serves as a showcase of the best athletes of the nation and the world, at least according to USA Track & Field (USATF) the National Governing Body for track and field.3 And historically, relay events or festivals were a primary means of collegiate institution promotion. Unfortunately, relay events typically occurred once annually at each college; therefore their impact was significantly less than football or baseball, which provided multiple home contests. Firmly implanted as a younger and less attractive athletics sibling to football, baseball, and later basketball; nevertheless the sport of track and field has endured and prospered according to its own measures. All-Americans and national place finishers indicate the level of programmatic success. Championship track teams are rare because of complex scoring as well as the individualized and broad scope of the sport.

  • A History of the Chaplaincy at Depauw University
    History of the Chaplaincy at DePauw A History of the Chaplaincy at DePauw University Katherine E. Smanik Conversations about the spiritual lives of college students continue to grow within the student affairs profession. However, one area that has received little attention in this conversation is the role of chaplaincy in helping students explore their religious identities and providing spiritual care for the campus community. This paper traces the history of the chaplaincy at DePauw University as a way to look at shifts in perception of the role of religion in higher education. These shifts are significant because in a span of 70 years understandings of how one should engage religion have moved dramatically from a focus on Christian evangelism to a focus on engagement with religious pluralism. Chaplains have done this work for decades and offer a unique perspective on how to support college student religious and spiritual development in a rapidly changing environment. In 1985 the president of Carleton but the most religiously conservative of College, Robert Edwards, called a institutions, with each institution engaging committee to review the role of the these shifts in its own way. Considering the chaplaincy at that institution. In his charge way that the role of the chaplain was defined he asked, “Why does a non-sectarian at one institution, in light of the outside institution concerned with the intellectual forces that shaped that work, offers insight development of students enter the domain of for student affairs professionals as they religion - beyond that embraced by its consider how to meet the needs for religious Department of Religion?” (Colwell, 2016, p.

  • Women's Basketball
    Women’s Basketball All Access October 2011 A LETTER FROM THE DESK OF COACH BEN LISTER Greeting to all of the Lady Wildcat fans that are out there! First of all, I want to take the opportunity to let everyone know how thrilled I am at having the privilege to coach at such a tremendous academic and athletic institution. Baker truly is a special place and I want to thank all of you for your support of our proud program and all that you do to help make it a success. Without all of you, Baker Lady Wild- cat Basketball could never reach its full potential! The school year is off and running and we have taken full advantage of prepar- ing for our upcoming season. With so much change, it has been a welcome relief to see the leadership of the team buy in to the direction we are trying to take this program. Our off-season conditioning has been intense and competitive. Each of the girls know that every day is an opportunity to earn the right to play when the season starts, and although they are committed to team success, they know that now is the time to prove that they deserve to be on the court. They are doing that in their training, their individual work-outs, and by focusing on their grades. Our motto is “Expect to be Elite,” and we are pursuing that in all areas. With change comes the responsibility to bridge the gap with the past and recog-nize that Baker is the program that it is because of all the dedicated athletes and coaches who helped build this program.
