Anew dimension was added to the Baylorskyline in late May as construction crews

placed the steeple and a 9-foot gold leaf cross onthe chapel of the new George W. TruettTheological Seminary complex.

Towering at 124 feet, the chapel spire isclearly visible from Interstate 35. The $17 mil-lion, 64,000-square-foot facility is expected to becompleted in spring 2002.

“The Truett Seminary complex is probablyone of the most impressive buildings adjacent tothe Interstate between Dallas and Austin,” saidTruett Dean Paul W. Powell. “It’s a milestone,really, sending the steeple into the air. I feel a lit-tle like Winston Churchill when he said, ‘This isnot the end. It is not even the beginning of theend. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’This is the beginning of a new day and new erafor Truett Seminary.”

Truett anticipates a fall 2001 enrollment of

about 300 students. The new seminary complexwill accommodate as many as 1,000 students,said René Maciel, Truett’s assistant dean foradministration and academic services.

“Everyone is excited about having a homeof our own and faculty and staff having their ownspace,” Maciel said. “As Truett has matured as atrue community, we are all looking forward tobeing part of the Baylor campus.”

Truett Seminary broke ground on the com-plex Feb. 2, 2000. The facility will feature:• a 550-seat chapel, funded by a $2.5 mil-

lion grant from the Robert M. RogersFoundation of Tyler and named in honorof Powell;

• a 100-foot-square landscaped, enclosedcourtyard;

• a teaching chapel named in honor of BaylorPresident Robert B. Sloan Jr., TruettSeminary’s founding dean; and

Here is the Steeple...Latest addition to new Truett Seminary rises above Baylor skyline

• a Great Hall, classrooms and meetingrooms, and faculty and administrativeoffices.Longtime Baylor benefactors John and

Eula Mae Baugh of Houston provided a $5million lead gift in November 1997 for theseminary’s construction.

Truett Seminary held its first openingconvocation on Aug. 28, 1994, with 51 stu-dents. Since then Truett has been recognizedas one of the fastest growing seminaries in thecountry. Close to 150 have earned master ofdivinity degrees. The seminary also offers adoctor of ministry degree, a joint master ofdivinity/master of music degree in conjunc-tion with Baylor’s School of Music, and a jointmaster of divinity/master of social work degreein conjunction with the School of SocialWork. — Lori Scott Fogleman

A $2 million Lilly grant helps Baylor faculty andstudents explore vocation as a response to God’s call.

During medieval times, the Latinword vocatio, or vocation, pri-marily meant a religious callingto the priesthood or a monastery.

After the Reformation, however, vocationreturned to its original and much broaderdefinition of calling: that all of one’s life islived in response to God.

Since its founding by Baptist missionar-ies in 1845, Baylor University has preparedstudents to serve church and society in allwalks of life — as ministers, teachers,lawyers, social workers, artists or scientists.

At the dawn of a new century, Baylorcontinues that mission with “BaylorHorizons: The Exploration of Vocation for aLife of Service,” a comprehensive three-yearproject funded by a $2 million grant fromLilly Endowment Inc. awarded in fall 2000.While the impact of the Horizons programwill be far-reaching, a primary objective is to

unite two University divisions — academicaffairs and student life — to help Baylor stu-dents foster a deeper theological understandingof vocation as God’s calling to a life of service.

“Baylor Horizons isn’t something new; it’snot adding on to Baylor something that has notbeen a part of its history,” said philosophy profes-sor Michael Beaty, Horizons project director anddirector of Baylor’s Institute for Faith andLearning. “Part of what the project aims to do isto recover this older, broader, deeper notion ofvocation, of living in response to God’s calling,whether that’s in the ministry or mission field, inprofessional careers or as families, spouses, par-ents and children. The Baylor experience is sup-posed to help cultivate in all of us these kinds ofmoments when we’re trying to discern whatGod’s will is and if this opportunity fits well with-in our vocation.”

The Baylor Horizons project hopes to accom-plish that through initiatives that encourage stu-dents to explore vocation as a framework for life,

church leadership and professionalservice. It also provides

for faculty and staff to reflect on themeaning of vocation in their own livesand how best to communicate the lan-guage and culture of vocation to stu-dents and each other.

Some of these initiatives are new,such as establishing the positions of resi-dent chaplains and director of studentmissions this summer. In other areas,the Lilly grant enhances existing pro-grams, such as Baylor’s longtime Chapeland student orientation.

The resident chaplaincy programbegan with the hiring of three GeorgeW. Truett Theological Seminary stu-dents who will serve as chaplains inMartin and North Russell residencehalls and the Quadrangle Apartments.At least two more will be hired for Allenand South Russell, with all residencehalls and Baylor-managed apartmentsexpected to have resident chaplainswithin the next few years. Part of theirresponsibilities will be to provide pas-toral care to students and to comfortstudents during times of tragedy. Theirprimary focus, though, will be helpingstudents discern God’s calling in theirlives and careers, said Dr. Todd Lake,dean of chapel, a member of the BaylorHorizons steering committee and coor-dinator of the chaplaincy program.

“We are a Christian universityand part of being a university is help-ing students figure out what directionGod wants them to go,” he said.

Student missionsThe student missions director will

play a key role in the Horizons pro-gram by developing mission trips forstudents that will combine their edu-cation with vocational opportunities.These might include computer sciencestudents writing computer code forBible translation, education studentsteaching in bilingual and/or monolin-gual schools in the borderlands, orbusiness students developing businessplans for a cooperative of Asian farm-ers. The applications are limited onlyby one’s imagination and discern-ment, Dr. Lake said.

In existing programs, such asChapel and student orientation,Horizons’ impact already is beingexperienced.

“Certainly we bring in some won-derful missionaries and preachers (toChapel) like Anne Graham Lotz,Howard Batson, Duane Brooks and C.J.Oliver,” Dr. Lake said, “but most of ourstudents are not going to be called byGod to become preachers or mission-aries. They’re going to be called byGod into the area in which they arepreparing at Baylor.”

To strengthen the Chapel pro-gram, monies from the Lilly grantwere used this spring to hire speakerswho combine passionate Christian liv-ing with excellence in their fields.These included Nobel Prize-winningphysicist William Phillips, ABC Newsreligion correspondent PeggyWehmeyer, the professional dance

company Ballet Magnificat! and actorTom Key, who performed “The CottonPatch Gospel.” And the messages ofthese speakers weren’t confined to WacoHall, where Chapel is held. TruettSeminary student James Solomon,hired in January through BaylorHorizons as chapel coordinator, hasworked to make Chapel guests avail-able to a wider audience. As a result,this past spring speakers visited class-rooms, spoke at student/faculty lun-cheons and gave free presentations tothe Central Texas community.

Orienting studentsStudent orientation also has been

restructured for fall 2001 with the helpof the Lilly grant, said Dr. EileenHulme, acting vice president for studentlife. “One of the biggest changes is thatwe really highlighted our academicprograms, so we get students thinkingabout what they’re going to major inearly on, which really is an issue ofcalling,” Dr. Hulme said.

Although Baylor Horizons focuseson students, it also gives faculty and

staff opportunities to reflect on theirvocations. In May, recent-hire tenure-track and other invited faculty membersexplored the relation of vocation to theliberal arts at Baylor. Dr. Lake, who par-ticipated in the seminar, helped leadworship and discussions with facultymembers from the sciences, humanities,engineering and computer science. Thediscussions focused on appreciating Godin the beauty of what one designs or dis-covers, he said, integrating faith without“shoe-horning your testimony in themiddle of a class on thermodynamics.”

“It’s not that the specific technicaltask looks different if you’re a Christianor not, but the feel of what you do is dif-ferent if you view it as an act of worship.That’s a wonderful privilege, to thinkGod’s thoughts after Him,” Dr. Lake said.

Baylor Horizons also provides aVocation and Faculty Formation grantprogram for faculty members who pro-pose projects to enlarge the culture ofvocation at Baylor. The first grants,totaling $44,800, were awarded in Mayto 14 projects, from a cross-section ofthe University’s schools, departmentsand institutes.

“In our accreditation and in our

catalog we make reference to an engi-neering education within a caringChristian environment. We want to try tofigure out what that means for us,” saidDr. James Farison, chair of the engineer-ing department, which will use its grantto study the “Integration of ChristianFaith and Engineering Practice.”

“Within our building, in ourclasses and in our contact with stu-dents, how do we stimulate the studentsto integrate their Christian faith, theirengineering vocation and ultimatelytheir sense of God’s call as a Christianto that vocation?” he asked.

Departmental plans include spon-soring a Christian EngineeringEducators Conference, studying thework of well-known engineers who areChristians, coordinating mission oppor-tunities abroad that integrate students’service and education, and establishinginformal discussion groups for engi-neering faculty and students.

Further explorationDr. Chris Kearney, associate profes-

sor of biology, also received a Horizonsgrant that will enable him to take atheology course at Truett Seminary. Dr.Kearney, who researches genetic engi-neering and genomics, hopes thecourse will lead him to further explor-ation in philosophy, history and psy-chology. By combining his scientificbackground with additional training inthese fields, he hopes to be able toenhance his contribution to Christianscholarship and teaching at Baylor.

“It’s important to have a certainbreadth, especially in the sciences, andwe’ve been trained in a certain way ofthinking, which is quite different fromthe way most others have beentrained,” Dr. Kearney said. “By combin-ing science and Christian studies, Ithink we can come up with ideas andways of understanding how God worksin natural systems in a very differentsort of a way.”

Baylor has a longtime relationshipwith Lilly Endowment Inc. The objec-tive of the Indianapolis-based privatefoundation, which has supported thecauses of religion, community develop-ment and education since 1937, is toassist colleges and universities in thedevelopment of new programs that

recruit and nurture a new generationof leaders for church and society. WhenBaylor was invited in April 1999 to sub-mit a planning grant to Lilly under itsnew initiative “Theological Explora-tion of Vocation,” it seemed a perfectmatch.

“This initiative fits perfectly withBaylor’s mission, and we have an oppor-tunity to be a national leader in promot-ing vocation as a calling,” BaylorPresident Robert B. Sloan Jr. said in hisState of the University address in April.

Once Baylor received the planninggrant, four Baylor faculty members —Dr. Beaty, Dr. Lake, Dr. Jeter Basden,associate professor of religion and asso-ciate director of ministry guidance, andDr. A.J. Conyers, professor of theology atTruett Seminary — wrote and submit-ted the implementation grant. Thefoundation informed Baylor on Oct. 6,2000, that it was one of 20 colleges thatreceived grants, which totaled $39.7million. Other church-related universi-ties that received the grant includeFurman, Mercer, Notre Dame,Valparaiso, Boston College, Davidson,

Earlham and Loyola of Chicago.The Baylor Horizons project offi-

cially began in January 2001. At thattime Kristen Sanford was hired as itsprogram coordinator, a positionjointly funded by the grant and theBaylor Institute for Faith andLearning.

dents last fall before assuming herduties with Horizons.

“I’m here because I see my ownwork as a vocation,” she said.

For the next three years, Sanfordwill coordinate communication on allBaylor Horizons projects, handle budgetissues and develop future resources.Once the three-year grant runs itscourse, several of the positions withinthe program will be funded by theUniversity. Others, Dr. Beaty hopes, willbe sustained through endowment orother internal resources.

Lilly’s hope“Many young people make pivotal

decisions about their futures duringcollege, and Lilly Endowment hopesthat these promising new programs willensure that Christian ministry is in themix for them,” said Craig Dykstra, vicepresident for religion at LillyEndowment. “We also hope that theyconsider seriously their faith commit-ments as they make the career choicesthat seem best for them and then pur-sue their life interests.”

Dr. Beaty said he believes theBaylor Horizons project ultimately willhelp develop a new generation of stu-dents, taught by faculty and staff well-versed in the Christian idea of vocation.They will be able to express in their var-ious disciplines what it means to liveone’s life as a human being created inthe image of God. Some will find theirvocation within the agencies andordained offices of the church, he said.Others will serve the church as laity, asleaders in business and teaching, aspractitioners in medicine and socialwork, as teachers in Christian and secu-lar schools, and as servants in manyother callings.

“I think the more we tap into whatmotivates our students, we will see that

many of them are here in part becausethey feel God working in their lives andthey’re not sure what direction thatought to take or is best to take, but it’sthere,” Dr. Beaty said. “It’s our respon-sibility to help them find the resourcesto respond to their callings in ways thatwill allow them to live fulfillingChristian lives of service, no matterwhat they do.”

Every career offers an opportunity to combine technicalknowledge with a sense of ministry.

Two Master Teachers Share Insights to Their ProfessionCalled to Serve: John

Editor’s Note: Dr. Robert G. Packardwas selected by this year’s senior classas the Collins Outstanding Professor.He delivered the Collins Lecture, titled“Poverty Physics: The Physics of theEgg,” on campus April 26. A profes-sor at Baylor for 49 years, his“Packard Physics” class is nearly arite of passage for most Baylor fresh-men. He shares the following essaywith BaylorNews.

I shall pass through this worldbut once;

If therefore there is any goodthing I can do

Or any kindness I can show,Let me do it now.Let me not defer it nor neglect it,For I shall not pass this way

again. Author Unknown

The following story is true, but toprevent conjecture about hisidentity, I shall call him John. At

the time of this story, Baylor facultymembers advised an assigned group offreshmen. John was my student. Hebrought his enthusiasm, dreams andfuture plans to me. We talked about hiscareer choices, high school adventures,teachers and class schedules. Fromtime to time, John reappeared to sharesome concerns about his grades. Wediscussed study methods and skills fortaking tests. Sometimes he would bepart of a group requesting informationabout the advantages of pledging a fra-ternity.

John returned early to school inthe fall and came for advising andannounced he had decided to gothrough fraternity rush. He was accept-ed as a pledge and briefly enjoyedbeing part of the pledge class.

The next time I saw John he was adifferent person. He came to the officein tears. He had become ill, and thedoctor and his parents insisted hereduce his physical activities, especiallypledging. John withdrew from hispledge class and returned to his previ-ous social and academic life.

By Dr. Robert G. PackardProfessor of Physics andMaster Teacher

Only a few weeks passed before amidnight call came from John’s par-ents. He was in the hospital, partiallyparalyzed. They asked me to meetthem at the hospital. We waited anx-iously for the attending physician tocome from the examination room. Theparents informed me then that Johnhad a tumor removed from his brainin high school. At that time, the prog-nosis had been that he would recoverwith no ill effects. When the attendingphysician came out, he reported thatJohn had inoperable brain cancer.Cobalt 60 would be used to shrink thetumor and hopefully prolong his life.

The parents were faced with thechoice of letting John remain at Bayloror taking him home. You could sensethe agony of this decision but bothagreed that he should remain atBaylor. They asked me to watch Johnuntil he reached the point when hemust return home. I agreed, but thisawesome responsibility presented prob-lems on how I could monitor hishealth. He was a student and it wouldbe impossible for me, a teacher, to visithis room or call periodically. I thenrecalled that the last time I visited withJohn, he mentioned his desire to pledgethe fraternity again. It occurred to methat his former pledge brothers couldhelp. I called two of his friends to my

office, where I explained John’s condi-tion. I told them of my promise to hisparents and that they could help me.They agreed to give me a weekly assess-ment of his health.

For a few months John wasunusually happy and did well in hisacademic work. I seldom saw himbecause he now was an active Baylorstudent. I continued to pray daily forhis recovery, but just as I felt he wasmaking progress, his condition wors-ened. The roommates told me he wastiring easily and sleeping for longerand longer periods. I called his parentsand reported his latest condition. Theyfelt that it was time for John to comehome.

John died without returning toBaylor. It was a sad time for me. As Iwalked around the campus, the memo-rial lamps had a new significance.Many of the Baylor students were vic-tims of war, accidents or diseases. Thispoem by Rupert Brooke expressed thepain I felt.

The years had given them kind-ness. Dawn was theirs,

And sunset, and the colours ofthe earth.

These had seen movement, andheard music; known

Slumber and walking; loved;gone proudly friended;

Felt the quick stir of wonder; satalone;

Touched flowers and furs andcheeks. All this is ended.

This is not the usual paper onewould expect from a Collins recipient. Iwanted to show another side of Baylorprofessors. They go through emotionalperiods of trying to help students with awide range of problems, many outsidethe academic setting. I accept thishonor as a representative of thosewhose services and love for studentsgoes unrecognized. They have trulyflung their “Green and Gold Afar.”

By Ann V. MillerProfessor of English andMaster Teacher

Editor's Note: Professor Ann V. Millerretires this year after teaching atBaylor for several decades. She wasone of the first two professors to behonored by the University with thedistinction of Master Teacher in1981. Beloved by generations of stu-dents, Professor Miller shared in briefher philosophy of teaching in an essaypublished in the July/August 1991issue of Baylor Line, reprinted herewith permission.

A valued colleague once said hethought teachers ought tohave nine lives: In the first

eight, we’d need to learn everything; inthe last, we might be able to teach. Forsure it’s a lifelong study — learningwhat to do in the classroom — and thephilosophy is probably all in the doing.

Young, I wanted the students toknow how much I knew, which wasvery little. I didn’t encourage questionsbecause I had neither the “answers”nor the confidence to admit I didn’tknow. Years of study brought the confi-dence, but the shift toward a moreSocratic method of teaching cameabout as a direct result of a weeklongDanforth Associates confer-ence at the University ofChicago. On the last day weobserved a “model” class: arenowned professor and ahandful of carefully select-ed students, who had beenassigned the CritoDialogue. After a few sum-mary remarks, the professordropped a pivotal question.The class struck fire. Theycountered with questions, argued anddefended positions. It was all open-ended, no finalities. But how much wehad understood.

I knew that simulated class forwhat it was — straight out of Utopia. Icouldn’t see that method working witha class of 40 Baylor undergraduates.But the next summer’s reading of JacobBronowski’s The Ascent of Man con-vinced me it was worth a try. Certainlythe book has nothing to do with teach-ing methodology. It traces the intellec-tual history of man’s discoveries. Whatstruck me most forcefully as I read it,though, was that these great strides inscience were made by men and womenwho dared to question the prevailingassumptions. One brief passage stayswith me: “It is important that studentsbring a certain ragamuffin, barefootirreverence to their studies; they are nothere to worship what is known, but toquestion it.”

I still believe in the lecture. But Icount that day good when students posethe right questions and thus involvethemselves in discovery, that mostexhilarating of experiences. Graduallythey may realize that they need not sitwith pens poised to take down what the

professor says; rather they can begin toreason, to imagine, to develop theirown critical faculties. Having studiedthe assignment, we both have the sameevidence. I have more experience; theyare bright students, and they see thingsfreshly. It’s a winning combination.

I used to expect students to bewhere we are. I have come to under-stand, through sponsoring a numberof student organizations, just howmany activities engage their time, howmany hours of service many of themgive to church and community, howeasy it is now for them to center theirlives off-campus. But I still expectthem to be in class, regularly. An old-fashioned notion, to be sure; eventuallyit may be discarded. But not by me. Ifind a high correlation between atten-dance and grades.

My assignments are more modestthan they once were. But they remainchallenging, and students are expectedto do the assigned work. I respect thestudents; they seem to return thisrespect. I care deeply that they learn,and I feel strongly — even passionate-ly — about my subject. Studentsquickly learn that the articulate use oflanguage, written and spoken, is one ofthe vital and humanizing processes.The more precise their language skills,

the better their professional and per-sonal lives will be.

As for literature, I am honest withstudents about what it does and doesnot do. Far from being the “whippedcream” that many think it, poetrydeals with what Yeats calls the “rag-and-bone shop of the heart”: the painand joy, hope and despair of life, itsgreed and generosity, love and the fail-ure of love, age, death. Good literatureconveys this knowledge feelingly. Andfeelings are as common, as essential,as bread. The poetry voices what wecannot say for ourselves; LouisUntermeyer defines poetry as “anattempt to express the inexpressible inunforgettable ways.”

We owe an enormous debt to thepast, but we live in the present. Weteach today’s students. They need asense of history in all the disciplines, asense of connection to the past as wellas vision for the future. I am fortunateto have enjoyed all my life the study ofliterature — classic, modern, contem-porary. I am doubly fortunate to beable to share what I have loved. AsWordsworth puts it, “what we haveloved, others will love, / And we willteach them how ….”

Muddied but Unbowed Victors

The Baylor rugby clubposes after a tough— and muddy —game, above, and ral-lies around thenational trophy, left.This year the clubcompeted againstTexas A&M, SouthernMethodist University,Rice, Louisiana StateUniversity andStephen F. Austin inDivision II of theTexas Rugby Unionbefore advancing tostate and regionalplay. Rugby is one of19 club sports spon-sored by theUniversity.

The men’s club rugby team brought home toBaylor in May a coveted national champi-onship title, beating out a late-game rally

to emerge as USA Rugby Collegiate Division IINational Champs.

In the club’s first appearance in the division’schampionship play, Baylor defused a furiousArkansas State rally to defeat the Indians 29-16 atSportsplex Stadium in Virginia Beach, Va. Theteam’s championship trophy is on display in theMcLane Student Life Center.

“The entire trip was just amazing,” said wingKenny Johnson, a senior information systems/man-agement major from Rogue River, Ore., and theclub’s treasurer. “We won the state championshipand then the Western championship, which wasfurther than any team from Texas had ever gonebefore.”

Tournament playJohnson said the national championship title

was particularly sweet for him and team captainZach Oliphant, a pre-med/business major fromTomball. The seniors have been on the rugby teamsince their freshman year and remember well thatfirst campaign four years ago when Baylor lostevery game.

“To go from 0-8 our freshman year to winninga national championship our senior year is anunbelievable feeling,” Johnson said.

After winning the Western championship overNorth Carolina, third-seeded Baylor advanced to theNational Elite Eight and Final Four in Reno, Nev.,where wins over Salisbury State (Maryland) andClaremont College (California) sent them to thenational championship match against ArkansasState. The Indians, seeded fifth in the tournament,had defeated Providence and top-seeded Universityof Nevada-Reno to reach the final.

“We played several close games throughoutthe season, including the Salisbury State game,when we were down until the last few minutes.That really built a lot of character in our team,”Oliphant said. “It’s hard to describe how you feelwhen you win. You think of all the great playersyou’ve played with, all the hard work, the blood. Allof it finally paid off.”

Several Baylor rugby team members alsowill get some international playing experiencethis summer on an all-star team touring South

Africa. Baylor will begin the defense of its nation-al title in September.

Baylor students participate in 19 club sports,said Robert Graham, assistant director of campusrecreation and sport club coordinator. Graham hasworked with the rugby club since his arrival atBaylor two years ago.

“It was really fulfilling to see them win becausethey have taken ownership of their program,”Graham said. “They’re very organized, they practicehard, they cleaned up the field at Edgefield Parkand even put up their own goal posts (which werepurchased by Baylor). They finished ninth in thenation last year, so it was nice to see them take thatextra step by winning the national championship.”

The clubs, involving sports from badminton to

weightlifting, are student-run and student-led,although Baylor does help fund some expenses,particularly travel, Graham said. Each team alsoparticipates in leagues and conferences with famil-iar foes such as Texas A&M, Texas and Texas Tech.Baylor rugby competes in the Texas Rugby Union atthe Division II level against opponents SouthernMethodist University, A&M, Rice, Louisiana StateUniversity and Stephen F. Austin.

Hankamer Treasure Room. The photosrepresent a timeline, detailing libraryfounder Dr. A.J. Armstrong’s early daysas chair of Baylor’s English depart-ment to the completion and success ofhis lifelong project to construct theArmstrong Browning Library, whichhouses the world’s largest collection ofRobert and Elizabeth Barrett Browningmemorabilia.

Rita S. Patteson, curator of man-uscripts at the library, said the photoexhibit is being presented in two parts.The first exhibit was on displaythrough June 29 and highlighted thedramatic growth of Baylor’s Browningmaterials and Dr. Armstrong’s dedica-tion to the project.

Growing collection“Over the years, the collection

grew, quite literally, from a shelf, to analcove, to a room (in Carroll Library),to an entire building,” Patteson said.“The first exhibit progresses through1950 to the groundbreaking and con-struction of the $1.75 million library.It also features major events, such asvisits by the celebrities who werebrought to Baylor and the Browningcollection by Dr. Armstrong.”

Patteson said that between 1908

and the 1950s, more than 550 interna-tional celebrities were welcomed by Dr.Armstrong to campus, including formerPresident William Howard Taft, famousAntarctic explorers Capt. RoaldAmundsen and Adm. Richard E. Byrd,and stars of the stage and screen,including Katharine Cornell and BasilRathbone, who performed in a produc-tion of “The Barretts of WimpoleStreet” on the Baylor campus in 1934.Other visiting celebrities includedWestern adventure writer Louis L’Amourand radio personality Paul Harvey.

Library dedicationThe second photo exhibit, sched-

uled for July 2-Sept. 29, includes pic-tures of the dedication of the library onDec. 1-3, 1951, along with coverage ofhistoric events during the building’sfirst half-century. Dr. Armstrong diedMarch 31, 1954, two days after his 81stbirthday.

The photos have been selectedfrom the library’s extensive archives.The complete collection of about 50pictures from the two exhibits will bedisplayed during the library’s GoldenJubilee celebrations this October. A fullprogram of events is planned, includ-ing a three-day international confer-ence Oct. 11-13 titled “The Prize is inthe Process.” The conference will fea-ture a panel of distinguished Browning

Two copper boxes installed duringthe 1950 cornerstone ceremony will beopened. Patteson said they are believedto contain more than 60 items rang-ing from personal photographs andpublications to tributes to RobertBrowning. — Alan Hunt

He has a security clearance and a badge,uses passwords and a building accesscode and is unable to reveal much

about his work. But Baylor sociology andanthropology chair Charles Tolbert is not moon-lighting as a spy for the CIA.

Dr. Tolbert goes through this kind of securi-ty process because he is one of a few academicswho regularly travels to the U.S. Census Bureauin Washington, D.C., to view confidentialresearch data from the economic and popula-tion censuses that never will be made public.This is work that only can be done at the bureauor at one of five regional data centers, none ofwhich is located near Texas.

“There are about 50 people who have theclearance to conduct research at the CensusBureau,” Dr. Tolbert said. “Some of these arefrom governmental agencies, such as the FederalReserve and the Justice Department, and someare academics from places like Johns Hopkins,UCLA, and Penn and other Ivy League schools.”

Dr. Tolbert became interested in data analy-sis using census tools while an undergraduate atBaylor. During his faculty days at Florida Stateand Louisiana State universities, he performedresearch using publicly available census data,often for government agencies such as the U.S.Department of Agriculture and the Department ofthe Interior. That research brought him to theattention of the Census Bureau.

Dr. Beck A. Taylor, assistant professor of econom-ics and The W.H. Smith Professor of Economics, pre-sented “Incomes and Outcomes in Early Childhood” inApril at a Society for Research in Child Developmentmeeting in Minneapolis. He had a co-authored papertitled “Change in Family Income-to-Needs MattersMore for Children with Less” presented at the meeting.

R. Nucci, who is at the bureau, who had heardone of my paper presentations,” Dr. Tolbert said.“He told me that I was doing really interestingthings with the publicly available data, and thatI could really push the envelope with some ofthe stuff they have behind the scenes.”

Multistep processDr. Tolbert learned that receiving a

research seat at the Census Bureau is a multi-step task. First, his proposal was peer reviewedand he received funding for the research fromvarious agencies, including the National ScienceFoundation. Then he wrote a similar proposal tothe Census Bureau affirming he had money forhis research and would like to buy access.

“It took a year and a half for everything tofall into place,” he said. “I actually started goingto the bureau in 1998 and my work is fundedthrough 2004. But I have other proposals outthere that could add some years to my research.”

After his proposal was accepted, Dr. Tolbertunderwent an extensive background check, wasfingerprinted, sworn in and issued a badge,which he must wear at all times at the bureau.

“The badge is literally the key to the facili-ty, and in the not-so-distant future, the badgewill be the only way you can turn on your work-station,” he said.

Other security measures the bureau uses areremoving floppy drives from all computer termi-nals, forbidding cell phones that are e-mail capa-

ble and personal digital assis-tants, and monitoring andcarefully controlling everyrecord of data that is accessed.Researchers caught browsingthe data without authorizationare subject to a $250,000 fineand a five-year jail term.

Subject to search“When you leave for the

day, you must lock up all yourdata in your cubicle. Nothingcan leave the building, andyou are subject to search,” Dr.Tolbert said. “When you arefinally ready to publish any ofyour findings, the bureau per-forms a disclosure analysis onthe paper to ensure that theresults will not enable personsor establishments to be identified. The bureauis very serious about the anonymity of therespondents.”

Dr. Tolbert said he believes he has more pro-jects under way than any other academic withsimilar access. In fact, he finds himself in themiddle of what may prove to be the most contro-versial aspect of Census 2000 — why it is show-ing a higher number of foreign-born respondentsthan the other recent census tools, such as theCurrent Population Surveys.

“Nobody is sure why this is happening,”Dr. Tolbert said. “It could be that the popula-tion census question is not as intimidating insome way (as the Current Population Surveyquestion) to foreign-born respondents, or itcould be that the bureau’s efforts at commu-nication were much more successful than inthe past. But we need to find out why.” —Julie Carlson

Judge Bill “Billy” Boyd, Baylor’s 14-year-old, 500-pound North American black bearmascot, is making the adjustment to a newhome after he was retired in May to a natural habitat ranch owned by Californiaprofessional bear trainer Scott Handley.

“He’s getting used to his new surround-ings, which will be of great benefit to him,”said Matt Green, who has served as Billy’strainer for the past 1 1/2 years. “I was sad tosee him go because of the bond we hadformed, but I’ll visit him again at the end ofsummer to see how he’s doing.”

The longtime bear mascot made thetrek to his new home north of Los Angeleswith Green, fellow bear coordinator RyanFitzhugh and Baylor Chamber of Commercebear trainer Tyler Sellers.

Although in good health, Billy’s advanc-ing age led to the decision to retire him.

“This is such a good opportunity forBilly to be able live out the remainder of hislife in a 2 1/2 acre natural setting that he’llhave to himself,” said Sellers, who addedthat North American black bears can live upto 25 years in captivity. “Billy has been awonderful bear and a symbol of Baylor andof the bear program. We and the entireBaylor community certainly will miss him.”

Billy was named after Baylor yell leaderBill Boyd, who took care of “Joe College,” apopular Baylor mascot acquired in 1932when the Cotton Palace Zoo closed. Sincethat time, Baylor has had more than 50 livebear mascots.

Baylor’s current 2-year-old mascot,“Chance,” will continue to live in the SteveHudson Memorial Bear Plaza near the BillDaniel Student Center. He will be joinedsoon by “Joy,” a cinnamon-colored NorthAmerican black bear cub christened JudgeJoy Reynolds after the wife of PresidentEmeritus Herbert H. Reynolds.

“Joy” made her rambunctious publicdebut at the Reynolds’ home in June. The 3-month-old, 25-pound bear, who wasborn on a private ranch in Oregon, also metwith Baylor President Robert B. Sloan Jr.

Sellers, Joy’s primary trainer, takes thebear on walks through campus, often meet-ing with students during orientation ses-sions. She’ll make her first appearance at aBaylor football game on Sept. 8, when theBears take on Arkansas State at Floyd CaseyStadium. — Lori Scott Fogleman

Anew dimension was added to the Baylorskyline in late May as construction crews

placed the steeple and a 9-foot gold leaf cross onthe chapel of the new George W. TruettTheological Seminary complex.

Towering at 124 feet, the chapel spire isclearly visible from Interstate 35. The $17 mil-lion, 64,000-square-foot facility is expected to becompleted in spring 2002.

“The Truett Seminary complex is probablyone of the most impressive buildings adjacent tothe Interstate between Dallas and Austin,” saidTruett Dean Paul W. Powell. “It’s a milestone,really, sending the steeple into the air. I feel a lit-tle like Winston Churchill when he said, ‘This isnot the end. It is not even the beginning of theend. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.’This is the beginning of a new day and new erafor Truett Seminary.”

Truett anticipates a fall 2001 enrollment of

about 300 students. The new seminary complexwill accommodate as many as 1,000 students,said René Maciel, Truett’s assistant dean foradministration and academic services.

“Everyone is excited about having a homeof our own and faculty and staff having their ownspace,” Maciel said. “As Truett has matured as atrue community, we are all looking forward tobeing part of the Baylor campus.”

Truett Seminary broke ground on the com-plex Feb. 2, 2000. The facility will feature:• a 550-seat chapel, funded by a $2.5 mil-

lion grant from the Robert M. RogersFoundation of Tyler and named in honorof Powell;

• a 100-foot-square landscaped, enclosedcourtyard;

• a teaching chapel named in honor of BaylorPresident Robert B. Sloan Jr., TruettSeminary’s founding dean; and

Here is the Steeple...Latest addition to new Truett Seminary rises above Baylor skyline

• a Great Hall, classrooms and meetingrooms, and faculty and administrativeoffices.Longtime Baylor benefactors John and

Eula Mae Baugh of Houston provided a $5million lead gift in November 1997 for theseminary’s construction.

Truett Seminary held its first openingconvocation on Aug. 28, 1994, with 51 stu-dents. Since then Truett has been recognizedas one of the fastest growing seminaries in thecountry. Close to 150 have earned master ofdivinity degrees. The seminary also offers adoctor of ministry degree, a joint master ofdivinity/master of music degree in conjunc-tion with Baylor’s School of Music, and a jointmaster of divinity/master of social work degreein conjunction with the School of SocialWork. — Lori Scott Fogleman

A $2 million Lilly grant helps Baylor faculty andstudents explore vocation as a response to God’s call.

During medieval times, the Latinword vocatio, or vocation, pri-marily meant a religious callingto the priesthood or a monastery.

After the Reformation, however, vocationreturned to its original and much broaderdefinition of calling: that all of one’s life islived in response to God.

Since its founding by Baptist missionar-ies in 1845, Baylor University has preparedstudents to serve church and society in allwalks of life — as ministers, teachers,lawyers, social workers, artists or scientists.

At the dawn of a new century, Baylorcontinues that mission with “BaylorHorizons: The Exploration of Vocation for aLife of Service,” a comprehensive three-yearproject funded by a $2 million grant fromLilly Endowment Inc. awarded in fall 2000.While the impact of the Horizons programwill be far-reaching, a primary objective is to

unite two University divisions — academicaffairs and student life — to help Baylor stu-dents foster a deeper theological understandingof vocation as God’s calling to a life of service.

“Baylor Horizons isn’t something new; it’snot adding on to Baylor something that has notbeen a part of its history,” said philosophy profes-sor Michael Beaty, Horizons project director anddirector of Baylor’s Institute for Faith andLearning. “Part of what the project aims to do isto recover this older, broader, deeper notion ofvocation, of living in response to God’s calling,whether that’s in the ministry or mission field, inprofessional careers or as families, spouses, par-ents and children. The Baylor experience is sup-posed to help cultivate in all of us these kinds ofmoments when we’re trying to discern whatGod’s will is and if this opportunity fits well with-in our vocation.”

The Baylor Horizons project hopes to accom-plish that through initiatives that encourage stu-dents to explore vocation as a framework for life,

church leadership and professionalservice. It also provides

opportunities
