Hampden-Sydney is one of the South’s outstanding liberal arts

colleges. Nestled in the gently rolling countryside of south-central Virginia, the College is the tenth oldest institu-tion of higher learning in the United States and the oldest of the country’s few remaining all-male colleges. Hampden-Sydney is committed to the belief that a liberal arts education provides the best foundation not only for a professional career but also for the great moral and intellectual challenges of life. Students learn that the pursuit of truth is a lifelong endeavor, requiring clarity and objectivity of thought, a sen-sitive moral conscience, and a dedica-tion to responsible citizenship. As the College’s mission state-ment says, liberal education aims to assist students to free themselves from ignorance, malice, prejudice, and super-stition; from the tyranny of intellectual selfishness; and from impotence in judging the claims and values of experts. It teaches students to gather evidence patiently; it educates them to write and speak with force, precision, and clarity; and it encourages them to seek refresh-

ment and inspiration in the fine arts. Affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and competing in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, Hampden-Sydney fields varsity intercollegiate teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, foot-ball, golf, lacrosse, soccer and tennis. There is also a rugby club which com-petes on an intercollegiate level. The athletic department also offers a comprehensive program in intramural activities, with 13 sports throughout the year, in which over 60% of the students participate.

One Quality Reigns Su-preme: Leadership

From the beginning, the Col-lege’s intent has been to educate the whole individual “in an atmosphere of sound learning.” The College’s history speaks eloquently of the powerful and enduring character of the ideals of self-reliance and service, and of its own two-hundred years of commitment to the value of self-reliant, disciplined intellect in public life.

Marty Favret is entering his twelfth season as leader of the Tiger foot-

ball team. After taking over a program that won just four games in three years prior to his arrival in 2000, Favret has firmly restored the winning tradition at Hampden-Sydney, having amassed an 81-32 (.717) record and two ODAC Championships over his first eleven seasons. Winning football and high-octane offenses have become the norm for Favret-led squads as his teams have won eight or more games in seven of the last eight seasons, while Favret’s 2003 Tigers led the nation in scoring (47.2 points-per-game) and his 2005 team led the nation in total offense (525.2 yards-per-game). Last season, Favret guided the Tigers to nine wins for the third time in his tenure while receiving a bid and home game in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season. The Tigers capped off the regular sea-son with a 34-28 win over arch-rival Randolph-Macon. In 2009, with the seventh win of the season, Favret also became Hampden-Sydney’s second winningest coach. After serving as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Catholic University for six seasons, Favret was named the Hampden-Sydney head coach on December 30, 1999. Favret has compiled an impressive 48-18 record in the Old Dominion Athletic

Conference and ranks first all-time in Tiger football history for winning per-centage among coaches who have given at least five years of service. Favret has thrice been named ODAC Coach of the Year, most recently in 2009, when he led the Tigers to a 10-0 regular season, 6-0 conference mark, and the school’s second ODAC Championship in three years. His first Coach of the Year honor came in 2003, when Favret guided Hampden-Sydney to a 9-1 overall record and second-place finish in the ODAC. Just four years later, Favret was again named Coach of the Year in 2007, when he led the Tigers to an 8-3 overall record, a 5-1 conference mark and the school’s first ODAC Championship in 20 years. In six seasons at Catholic, Favret was the architect of one of the most prolific offenses in NCAA Divi-sion III. Under his direction, Catholic finished in the top-30 in the country in scoring five times. His offenses set 75 school records, including the school’s top-three single season scoring records. Over the course of his last three seasons at CUA, he helped guide the Cardinals to a 29-1 regular season record and three NCAA Playoff appearances. In

He became the Purple Eagles’ varsity offensive coordinator in 1991, helping the team earn a No. 6 ranking in 1993.
