#Baylor175: Margaret Clem, BA ’69

What does your Baylor experience mean to you?

“There was just such a comradery within the whole campus. You felt like you were a part of it; you didn’t have to have a date, all that. Everybody just showed up.

“My professors when I went on for my master’s and my doctorate would say, ‘Where’d you learn that?’ My answer: ‘I learned it at Baylor,’ and then they were pleasantly surprised, because not too many other people in the program had had those experiences. Those are things that I learned in classes at Baylor.”

[Baylor University was chartered by the Republic of Texas on Feb. 1, 1845, which makes this year our 175th anniversary. As part of our celebration, we’re sharing stories from Baylor alumni about their BU experience all semester long.]
