WHAT IS A GRIFFIN?The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head, beak, and
wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and occasionally, the
tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the
Middle East where it is found in the paintings and sculptures
of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Persians. In Greek
mythology, they took gold from the stream Arimaspias and,
neighbors of the Hyperboreans, they belonged to Zeus. The
later Romans used them for decoration and, even in Christian
times, the Griffin motif often appears. Griffins were frequently
used as gargoyles on medieval churches and buildings.

The Westminster men’s lacrosse team finished the 2010 season with a 13-8 overall record and won the RMLC West Division regular season championship. They advanced to the championship game of the RMLC Tournament and earned an at large invite to the MCLA National Championship. The Griffins then advanced to the semi-finals of the national tournament, including an upset win over No. 2 Dayton in the second round.
Westminster spent much of the season ranked in the top 10 and at one point posted wins in nine of 11 games. They finished the season 4-1 on Dumke Field and were also 6-2 against ranked opponents. They extended a perfect record in opening round games at the MCLA National Championship to 4-0 and reached the semi-finals for the third time in four seasons.
Dallas McLellan, Matt Lambourne, and Jacob Wayman were all recognized by the MCLA for their performance during the season with the Griffins. This is the third consecutive season that Westminster has had three players named an All-American. McLellan was named a First Team All-American at goalie and becomes the first three-time All-American in Westminster history. He was also named to the first team following the 2008 season and was second team last season. Lambourne was named a Second Team All-American at defense. This is his first All-American recognition and he becomes the fourth Griffin in history to make it at defense. Wayman was named a Third Team All-American at midfield. For Wayman, this is his first All-American honor and just the third midfield All-American in Westminster’s history.

Payne Gymnasium houses the newly renovated Griffins strength and athletic training facilities, auxiliary basketball court, locker rooms, and offices for men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s soccer. Built during the term of President Herbert W. Reherd (1913–1939), it was named after the president of the Board of Trustees and manager of the local J.C. Penney Company; groundbreaking was July 1928 and dedication January 11, 1929.
Though the college worried that it was frivolous to spend money on a gymnasium, the facility, designed by architect Walter E. Ware, provided badly needed recreation for the school and groups in the entire Sugar House area. It was added to and remodeled in 1970 under President Manford Shaw (1968–1976), and has housed the basketball and volleyball programs, dances, speakers, luncheons, career fairs, orientations, and a variety of other cultural and social student events—including being the practice facility for the Utah Jazz from 1979 to May 1999.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES
DUMKE FIELD
Dumke Field, on the site of the Dane Hansen Stadium, was opened October 2, 1949, by college president Robert D. Steele (1939–1952). It was a gift of the George Hansen family in memory of a son and brother, Lt. Dane Hansen, Class of 1940, who lost his life in World War II. Having had seating for 1,200 attendants, the stadium had been the college soccer and activities field, commencement green, and later a paved parking facility. In fall 2005, it was transformed into a parking structure, with an elevated artificial turf athletic field on top. This facility is now the home field for the Griffins men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse teams.

WESTMINSTER COLLEGE

www.WestminsterGriffins.com
WESTMINSTER COLLEGEWestminster is a nationally recognized, comprehensive liberal arts college. With a broad array of graduate and undergraduate programs, Westminster is distinguished by its unique environment for learning. Westminster prepares students for success through active and engaged learning, real world experiences, and its vibrant campus community. Westminster’s unique location, adjacent to the Rocky Mountains and to the dynamic city of Salt Lake, further enriches the college experience.
While we’re proud that Westminster is consistently ranked as a “Top Tier” college and recognized on the list of “Great Schools” by the U.S.News & World Report, and that Westminster was named “Best in the West” by the Princeton Review, we hope you’ll come to campus, whether you’re a high school student or one of our alumni, and experience the Westminster community for yourself.
ACADEMICSWestminster offers more than 70 academic programs, including 34 majors, from accounting and international business to nursing and sociology. The most popular majors are business, nursing, psychology, and education. In addition, the college offers a variety of minors and 10 graduate programs. About 95 percent of the students go to graduate school or are employed within six months of graduation. The nursing program has a 100 percent placement rate. In addition to Westminster’s successful outcomes, a Utah Foundation study found that Westminster graduates have among the highest starting salaries of any university graduates in the state. These high starting salaries were attributed in part to the fact that nearly 70 percent of students complete an internship before they graduate.
Students choose Westminster College for many reasons, including our intense focus on individual students and their learning, the combination of liberal education and professional studies, our active learning experiences, dynamic campus environment, and the real world experiences we offer to ensure that our students are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
HISTORYWestminster College has played a pivotal role in the educational heritage of the intermountain area. Founded in 1875 as the Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school, Westminster first offered college classes in 1897 as Sheldon Jackson College. Named in honor of its primary benefactor, Sheldon Jackson, the college operated for many years on the Collegiate Institute campus in downtown Salt lake City. Gradually the institute became identified as the college preparatory department, and high school classes continued to be an integral part of the curriculum until 1945. In 1902, college trustees adopted the new name, Westminster. Moving to its present location in 1911, Westminster became the first accredited two-year junior college in the intermountain area. In 1935 Westminster modified its curriculum to qualify as a four-year junior college and in 1949 became a four-year liberal arts institution offering baccalaureate degrees in the arts and sciences.
Today Westminster exists as a fully independent, privately funded, nondenominational, comprehensive liberal arts institution of higher learning with selected graduate programs, meeting the West’s educational needs as it has since 1875.
