The Sherlock Holmes seminar, for exam- ple, uses the short stories and novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as guides for development of the scientific skills of observation, deduction, and reporting. The baseball seminar uses the topic as a segue into issues of societal relevance, such as ethnicity and race, globalization, drug use, union activities, and federal anti- trust legislation. Following are profiles of six of this year’s seminars, grouped according to two themes: metaphors of the mon- strous, the marvelous, the mysterious, and the manufacturing of intelligence; and myths in nineteenth-century portrayals of men, women, and the West. Collectively, they reveal the creativity—and, yes, the unconven- tionality and idiosyncrasy—to be found in the program.

Two more NCAA postseason appearances followed, but Chyzowych tragically never had the chance to see the building process through. He died while playing tennis on campus just prior to the start of 1994 season, leav- ing Vidovich to take the reins. Vidovich, then 34 years of age, was a Michigan native and 1982 graduate of Ohio Wesleyan. Besides his years alongside Chyzowych, he had also had brief stints as an assistant coach at the University of Denver (where he earned a master’s in sports science in 1983), Regis College, and at his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan. Despite stepping in under the most emotionally trying circumstances imaginable, Vidovich guided Wake Junior Marcus Tracy battles for the ball with Eric Brunner of Ohio State. Tracy scored Forest to a 10–8–1 finish in 1994. one goal in the win over Ohio State and both goals in the Deacons’ 2–0 semifinal win over Virginia Tech, and he was named Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the tournament.

MARCH 2008 21 Wake Forest’s program has become a model of consistency. The Deacons have yet to post a losing season under Vidovich’s watch, and have reached the NCAA Tournament each of the past seven years. Wake Forest took a No. 2 overall seed into NCAA play last sea- son and has twice been seeded No. 1 nationally. Last season’s 22–2–2 finish pushed Vidovich’s career mark as a college head coach to 187–81–27.

ROUND THE YEAR 2000, AJustin Guariglia (’97) was living in Asia, trying to make it as a profes- sional photographer. During this period, he was surviving on the equiv- alent of five dollars a day by eating only street food, taking any small work he could get from newspapers and magazines, and staying in cheap hostels (one of which only provided him with a bed and a single sheet dotted with mosquito blood).

W AKE F OREST A LUMNI A SSOCIATION President’s Column

ne of the great privileges of being the Alumni Association president is Oto be able to speak to the alumni body several times a year through this magazine and talk about issues that are important to alumni and to the school.

We held our Alumni Council meeting in February and were given updates on CLASSNOTES two key projects that I want to share with you. All great institutions wrestle with the important question of how to grow and improve. Dr. Hatch and Provost Tiefenthaler have been working extensively with the campus community to develop a strategic plan that will guide the University for the next decade. The strategic plan is looking at how Wake Forest can build on its core strengths and it can identify new areas in which we can grow and develop as an institution. The strategic plan will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees later this spring and then shared with the larger Wake Forest family. There is information online at the strategic plan website: http://groups.wfu.edu/planning. The plan is built around the strategic priorities that have been identified for the University: http://groups.wfu.edu/planning/20061120.priorities.html An important component of the strategic plan is Wake Forest’s brand and visual identity—how we represent ourselves to the world, what Wake Forest is known for, and thus how the world views us. In conjunction with the strategic plan, a visual identity committee was formed to review the strength of the Wake Forest name and images associated with the school, then make recommenda- tions on how to strengthen our visual identity. The University has partnered with an outstanding consulting firm to look at best practices among the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities and will be recommending changes to the current look and feel of our Web site, publications, logo and all things associated with how we build Wake Forest awareness and its identity to the global community. For many of us, Wake Forest was at her absolute peak of perfection the four years when we were here as students or at least that is how we fondly remember our Mother So Dear. It is natural to resist change and to prefer the “good old days.” However, the history of Wake Forest was built by visionary men and women who thought boldly and dared to dream of even greater heights and horizons for our University. Soon our school will make another step forward with our strategic plan and an updated visual identity. As alumni, the best way we can support Dr. Hatch and our administration is to continue to give our full support to the University while voicing any concerns that we may have. We provide such support through our time, our talents and our treasure. Although there will be some changes, the core of Wake Forest remains the same and with your help we can continue to maintain the foundation of Pro Humanitate. Wake Forest was built for you and me, and the things we hold dear are being passed on to the generations that follow us. So join with me in embracing the new and honoring what is “constant and true”about a school we love so much. Honored to serve you,

Rod Webb (‘92) Alumni Association President
