Wandering Burleson Quad awhile back, it occurred to me that “That Good Old Baylor Line” was literally beneath my feet. Bricks engraved with the names of Baylor alumni and friends from across the decades cover the Sesquicentennial Walkway, often in long, long lines representing those big Baylor families — each their own “Baylor Line.” Weldon […]
In March 2008, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine named Baylor one of the nation’s best values among private colleges.
