While some people prefer their Christmas trees to be classically beautiful, with matching ornaments, ribbons, etc., my family has always preferred the sentimental route, with ornaments going back to when my sister and I were kids. It’s fun hanging the ornaments and remembering when and why we got them — the baby in a nutshell […]
Baylor students, faculty and staff pitched in last week to give hundreds of underprivileged local children a little something extra this Christmas. Approximately 800 kids converged on Baylor’s McLane Student Life Center for Santa’s Workshop, where Mr. and Mrs. Claus waited to gave out presents donated by the Baylor family. Volunteers shared lunch and played […]

The 9-foot-tall, 1,200-pound sculpture was created by a Baylor professor, Dr. Douglas Crow, and was funded through a gift from Carol (Trice) Pyfer and her husband, John F. Pyfer, in honor of Carol’s parents […]
