I hope that you were able to make it back for Homecoming last weekend. From Pigskin to the Bonfire, the parade to the football game, it was (as usual) a blast to reunite with old friends and celebrate the Baylor spirit. The fine folks at Baylor Photography rounded up pictures for this slideshow summary of […]
When the first Baylor Homecoming parade was held in 1909 — long before most other universities were even holding Homecoming celebrations — no one had even dreamed of television, much less the Internet. For that matter, even commercial radio stations would not be launched for about another decade. But today, the University tries to take […]
While you’re in Waco this weekend for Homecoming, you might want to stop by the Baylor Bookstore for more than just checking out the new BU gear available. Also new this year is a coffee-table-type photo book called Baylor: A Legacy of Spirit, Tradition, Beauty. In compiling the 96-page hardback book, photographers pored over thousands […]
Since Homecoming is in large part a time for reflecting on memories, it’s only fitting that the repository for much of Baylor’s recorded history — the Texas Collection, housed in Carroll Library — will be honored with a pair of historical markers in a ceremony on Friday. The Texas Collection is more of an archive […]
It’s Homecoming Week, and Madelyne here is among a host of pets who clearly wish they could have been bears — Baylor Bears. Given the spirit they’re showing in this photo gallery, I think we can dub these dogs and cats honorary Bears for the week. (If you’ve got Baylor spirit pics you think might […]
Next spring, the Baylor University Men’s Choir is headed to Argentina for a mission trip, where they will sing before all new audiences (in addition to performing service work) while experiencing a new culture themselves. What really caught my eye about the trip, though, was the unique way they are raising funds for the trip. […]
September at Baylor just wouldn’t be the same without Freshman Follies, an annual campus tradition since long before I arrived here. The free event gives first-year students a chance to unwind and just be silly, dousing one another with food and shaving cream. Most of us could use a day like that every now and […]
The most recent issue of Baylor Magazine included a feature on Baylor’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing that examined the people who, on the cusp of the school’s 100th anniversary, make the LHSON such a special place. The subjects ranged from faculty to students, alumni in local hospitals to alumni on the mission field, to […]
You may have already heard that Baylor’s football game this weekend vs. Washington State, originally scheduled for Saturday morning, has now been shifted to tonight at 7:30 p.m. to avoid Hurricane Ike. Thankfully, we’ve already got Sasha here all the way from Pennsylvania to lead us in showing our school spirit. Sasha won’t be at […]
Earlier this summer, we profiled quite a few members of this year’s freshman class (see here and here, for example). But here’s one we missed: the reigning Miss Black Teen Texas USA, Jordan Franklin! Franklin was given the crown last July after winning the talent and evening gown competitions; she was also named Miss Hospitality […]
