HBUDecember 200340 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
From the PresidentThis year marks an important milestone in the history of Houston BaptistUniversity – the 40th anniversary of its first entering class in 1963. To that end, we arerecognizing a year-long celebration of the growth this institution has experienced over theyears. Starting with our Opening Convocation in the fall to our commencementceremonies at the end of the year, we will honor our past, embrace what we have becomeand consider how we will grow in the future.Dr. Ron Ellis, a 1977 graduate and president of California Baptist University, kickedoff the year-long celebration as he returned to campus for Opening Convocation. Agoodfriend and proud alumnus of the University, Ron shared his HBU experience and how therelationships he built during those years made an impact on his educational journey.The Spirit of Excellence Gala and Founders’ Day Convocation also marked theoccasion as our four living Founding Fathers — Senator Lloyd Bentsen Jr., Jake Kamin,Don McMillian and Dr. Stewart Morris — were honored with the Spirit of ExcellenceAward; and all living Founding Fathers, Founding Trustees and current and past trusteeswere invited to return to campus for a special Founders’ Day celebration held in theirhonor.This issue of the HBU News begins a retrospective series on the changing face of thecampus from student life, academics and spiritual life to athletics and the developmentof the physical plant, HBU is maturing as the Christian institution envisioned by itsFounding Fathers — one, however, that has remained steadfast in its mission to serve as awitness to Jesus Christ.Looking back on the more than 40 years since Houston Baptist University’sfounding, one can see a history rich with the many people who have built the institutionfrom the ground up — founders who shared a vision for a Baptist college in southeastTexas, administrators who have executed the University’s mission, trustees who haveguided and counseled the University leadership, faculty who have planted and nurturedthe seeds of knowledge in the next generation, staff who have provided the neededsupport for consistent University operations, students who have made up the life-bloodof the institution, alumni who have gone on to become leaders in their chosen professionsand of course, the many friends who have supported the University with their time andresources. All have woven a unique and integral thread in the fabric of HBU.From the time our first class entered in 1963 to the time the 2003 freshman classjoined our ranks, HBU has grown stronger with each passing year. Celebrate with us allthat this year represents and look forward to what the Lord will provide for us in theyears to come.E.D. Hodo

Campus ReportCOAHOFFERS NEWMAJORThe College of Arts and Humanitieshas recently put into place a new major –Biblical Languages.The new major within the Departmentof Christianity and Philosophy is an indepth look at Greek and Hebrewlanguages of the Old and New Testaments,respectively. The goal is for the students tobe able to read and interpret ancient textsincluding the Apocrypha and Dead SeaScrolls to help shine light on the Biblicaltexts.Dr. David Capes, Chair, Christianityand Philosophy, said the intense look at thehistorical languages “would not give themthe ability to speak modern Hebrew orGreek, but it’s more for education.“We started offering the major in Junebecause we felt this major would better fitstudents’ needs, and we are trying tostrengthen the offerings of the department,especially if someone in the Christianitydepartment is looking for a second major.”For more information, call SharonWiser at 281-649-3000 ext. 2212 ?BAUMGARDNERVISITS CAMPUSDr. Ron Ellis BA ’77 visits withPresident Hodo prior to OpeningConvocation.

From HBC to HBU:Reflections after 40 years— by Judy Bennatte Ferguson BA ’67Secretary, College of Education andBehavioral SciencesMy classmates and I found ourselvesin a unique situation when we selected ourcourses and began campus life that firstSeptember at HBC. We had noupperclassmen to shove us around – or tohelp us navigate the unknown whileintroducing us to established traditions.There were no traditions – no mascot, nofight song, no alma mater, no studentgovernment. Over time, we managed toblaze new trails as we chartered campusorganizations and helped to developmany of the traditions which students atHBU now take for granted.As a member of the first graduatingclass, I saw the first orange and bluefreshman beanies; wrote articles for thefledgling school newspaper, the Collegian;and joined the HBC family in singing thealma mater for the first time.Today, 40 years later, two lines in thesecond stanza of the alma mater holdspecial meaning for me as an HBUalumnus and employee. As I reflect onthose lines, “Seeking our place ofservice/With wisdom from above,” I thinkof one tradition that has become ahallmark of the HBU experience. Since theearliest days, students’ lives have beenblessed by the many faculty,administrators and staff members who,with God’s leadership, have found theirplace of service on this campus. As amember of the staff, I have helped tobuild this tradition of Christian service,quarter by quarter, year by year. I knowthat each employee comes to theUniversity with a specific job title anddescription. However, we all share acommon purpose that transcends ourdiverse functions.Whether we develop budgets, teachEnglish courses or type syllabi and exams,we are God’s servants and we all have amission to exemplify Christian values as webefriend, support and encourage ourstudents and one another. More than anyother tradition, this dedication to Christianservice helps to make HBU Houston’sBlessed University. ?19631968Houston Baptist Collegeopenes with a freshman classof 193 students, a cluster ofnew buildings and a teachingstaff of 30 faculty.The Moody Libraryconstruction is completed.1969The Board of Trusteesestablishes a Division ofNursing offering a Bachelorof Science in Nursing.1964The Frank and Lucille SharpGymnasium and the AtwoodTheology Building arecompleted.The Morris Columns, a giftfrom Board ChairmanStewart Morris and his wifeJoella, are erected inHolcombe Mall.1965Two new divisions: Educationand Psychology and BusinessEconomics are added to theacademic programs.1966The Commission on Collegesof the Southern Associationof Colleges and Schoolsrecognizes Houston BaptistCollege as an officialcandidate for accreditation.The Endowed AcademicScholarship Program isstarted with four gifts of 25,000 each fromStewart Morris, Gilbert Turner,the Strake Foundation and ananonymous donor.Otis Brigman, member of theCollege Trustees LibraryCommittee, adds moralsupport as W.L.
