I’ve never quite understood what it is that the Federal Reserve does — perhaps because the only economics class I ever took was a blow-off course in high school. Then last night, I was flipping channels and came across former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan on The Daily Show, and he gave a pretty […]
A lot of people have compared the new Brooks College’s design to the Hogwarts School described in the Harry Potter novels, and aesthetically, that’s not far off. In fact, much of the college’s look was modeled after features at Oxford — which just happened to have served as a filming location for the Harry Potter […]
A week after setting school records for passing yards and touchdowns, sophomore quarterback Blake Szymanski nearly broke his own marks Saturday, passing for 411 yards and five touchdowns in Baylor’s win over Texas State. Thanks to Szymanski and the Bears’ spread offense, Baylor currently ranks eighth in the nation in passing yards per game. Just […]
I got worried when my friend told me Baylor was in jeopardy earlier this week, until he explained that he meant the long-running television quiz show Jeopardy. I missed the episode (curse that 4:30 time slot!), but as related to me, the $400 answer under the heading “Colleges and Universities” was: “The 735-acre campus of […]
It took the authors of The Land, the Law and the Lord: The Life of Pat Neff over 20 years to finally get down on paper what the former Texas governor and Baylor president did in his 80 years on Earth. Baylor alumna Dorothy Jean Chapin Blodgett (BA ’45) began the book in 1985 and […]

Tennessee Bears, get your listenin’ ears ready. The Nashville Symphony introduced proud Baylor alum Giancarlo Guerrero as its new music director Wednesday, ending a two-year search. The 1991 grad had previously served as music director for the Eugene (Oregon) Symphony, where he earned recognition from the American Symphony Orchestra League as one of the top […]
Two Baylor grads’ take on a Western remake netted them the No. 1 film in the country this week. 3:10 to Yuma, a remake of the 1957 film by the same name, was written by former Baylor students Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (both class of ’91) and stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. In […]
A fantastic weekend for Baylor athletics, as Soccer ran its unbeaten streak to five games with wins over Jacksonville and Stetson; Volleyball went 3-0 to win the SMU/Radisson Invitational; and Women’s Cross Country runners took 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the BYU Autumn Classic, leading the Bears to the team victory. Perhaps most impressive, however, […]
