The Illinois College Mission Statement True to its founding vision in 1829, Illinois College is a community committed to the highest standards of scholarship and integrity in the liberal arts. The College develops in its students qualities of mind and character needed for fulfilling lives of leadership and service.

In response to violations by some of its coaches of the NCAA’s ban on sending text messages to prospective student-athletes and the College’s insufficient monitoring of compliance with this rule during the time it was in force, Illinois College has been placed on probation with regard to the sports of football/men’s golf/men’s swimming until August 24, 2015.

the tree. The sense of community was palpable, as well as a belonging to this place that was unique to everyone who had ever taken a ride on the swing. When I posted the news on my Facebook page, I received dozens of messages and photos taken on the swing of newly married couples, graduation celebrations and young children of alumni. What I loved about these stories was how similar they were in describing a passion for IC. There was also the recognition that change was necessary. Our attention quickly shifted to finding a new tree and beginning new traditions. We chose a tree outside of Schewe Library as the new location for the Schewe Swing. This choice was fitting as the library represents the academic center of the College. Future generations will write their stories about this IC landmark; together we will create new traditions that will tell a story of strength and prosperity. As is true in this example, our work on the strategy map will maintain and build upon IC’s strong sense of community, and a dedication to student success will anchor our decisions.

As we move forward with the strategy map, we have much to celebrate on the Hilltop. It was exciting to witness the Illinois College community shine on the international stage as we hosted both Dr. Khalaf Al Habtoor H’10 of Dubai who announced a Pathways to Peace initiative funded by his foundation, and former President Jimmy Carter H’14, who offered the Phi Alpha Lecture at Al Habtoor’s invitation. Congressman Paul Findley ’43 rounded out the panel discussion that was moderated by Provost Elizabeth Tobin. Over 2,600

people gathered in Sherman Gymnasium to welcome our distinguished guests and be part of a remarkable occasion. This historic event followed the dedication of the Khalaf Al Habtoor Archives at Illinois College.

On behalf of the Illinois College community, I offer our gratitude for your generous support this past year. Your love for IC inspires my work as president. Please join me in building on the best of Illinois College’s traditions as we embrace our bright future.

All the best,

Barbara A. Farley, Ph.D. President

As an honorary member of the Class of 2017, I began my sophomore year as president with the excitement of a returning student. The campus was abuzz over the summer with much activity. Our students arrived in September to find several improvements including renovations of dining venues in Baxter Hall and Caine Student Center, the installation of lights at England Stadium and the Bellatti Tennis Complex, True Blue signs identifying campus buildings, and the additions to Schewe Library of the Khalaf Al Habtoor Archives and Digital Learning Center.

One of my happiest tasks is to thank all the alumni, trustees, parents, faculty, staff and friends who have invested in Illinois College over the past fiscal year. Contributions to the IC Fund, endowed scholarships, capital projects and academic programs enliven our campus and demonstrate the IC community’s collective dedication to student success. I deeply appreciate your enduring commitment to Illinois

College being an institution that will thrive in the midst of a complex higher education marketplace.

This year we will finalize a strategic plan to chart Illinois College’s future that distinguishes our academic program as one that educates students for meaningful lives of leadership and service, expands IC’s visibility and creates sustainable financial foundations. Our strategy map will build on the best of Illinois College’s traditions, making them new and important to the future of this great College.

When we learned this past July that the Sturtevant Oak and Swing had to come down due to concerns about the tree’s viability, there was a sadness throughout the community, but this event has come to symbolize Illinois College’s strategic plan. The importance of the Sturtevant Swing to generations of students, alumni and Jacksonville residents became clear in the days surrounding my announcement about removing

IC athletics shines under the lights at England StadiumOn August 29, construction crews worked throughout the day to install a lighting system at England Stadium that promises to transform the way a number of Illinois College athletic programs practice and compete.

With football, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, and track and field programs all heavy users of England Stadium, Green Athletic Field and the Ware Family Track, the lights will extend practice hours and cut down on time conflicts when all the sports are in season. Additionally, lights have been added at the Bellatti Tennis Complex, bringing the number of programs benefiting from these additions to more than half of Illinois College’s 20 intercollegiate athletic programs.

While games and matches at night are where the public will frequently notice the new lighting system, the coaches and players will see the effects on a daily basis, most notably in regard to practice.

“One of the best things about the lights is that we’ll be able to keep our schedule as is, even after Daylight Saving Time,” said Head Coach Garrett Campbell of the IC football program. “In the past, we’ve had to shorten our practices significantly at the end of the season because we didn’t have enough light to continue.”

Head Coach Jason Haynes of the track and field program agreed, but under different circumstances. His teams will be making the transition from the indoor to the outdoor season in early March, just before the next Daylight Saving Time cycle would begin. He hopes that an earlier chance to get outdoors will give his teams a boost in the spring.

“I would personally like to thank all the donors who made this construction project possible,” said Director of Athletics Mike Snyder. “As our programs go out and pursue championships on a yearly basis, the people who gave generously to make this happen can know that they have played a big role in the successes we have on the field.”

The following donors allowed for the installation of the lighting system at England Stadium: Joy French Becker ’67, Charlie Bellatti ’49, Bill ’66 and Katherine Bien, Leonard Brink ’66, Jim ’66 and Kaye Bruner, Barrett H’13 and Susie Callaghan, Bob ’74 and Janet Williams Chipman ’75, Del ’72 and Lisa Dunham, Seth ’99 and Sarah Engelbrecht, Jack ’61 and Doris Gustine Fairfield ’62, James ’61 and Cathy Green, Joel ’66 and Elise Leaks Harmon ’69, Don ’66 and Pearl Newberry Hawrysz ’64, Jono Hildner ’70, Bill ’66 and Vicki Hood, Duane ’71 and Sharon Hess, Jeff ’00 and Vivian Jackson, Bill ’75 and Vicki Mattingly, Jack McCarty ’65, Steve and Maggie Oetgen, Conrad Noll III ’65, Drs. Susan Pratt ’80 and Jay Anders ’79, Friends of Homer Reiken ’63, Winston Rogers ’82, and Hank ’73 and Martha Bryan Schmitt ’73.


Illinois College welcomes back a diverse student bodyEnrollment numbers for Illinois College this academic year show the most ethnically and geographically diverse student body in the College’s history.

When the numbers were released at the beginning of the 2014-15 academic year, students from 34 states and 20 countries were represented, with undergraduate enrollment totaling 957 students. This includes 253 first-year students, and 37 transfer and exchange students.

“I am very happy to welcome our 957 students to campus,” Illinois College Provost Elizabeth Tobin said. “The Admission Office carefully selected the best students from our applicants to join the Class of 2018, and we anticipate that the 253 students will be an outstanding class. Our 37 transfer students come from community colleges and four-year colleges, from Japan and from Jacksonville. We’re very pleased they are now calling Illinois College home.”

Knapp named assistant director of Greek lettered organizationsIllinois College named Sarah Knapp the new assistant director of Greek lettered organizations.

Originally from Jacksonville, Knapp is excited to “come home.” She earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Western Illinois University and a master’s degree in college student affairs from Eastern Illinois University. Knapp most recently worked at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville as a resident director in the Office of Residence Life.

Knapp started on September 29 and hit the ground running with homecoming, Rush and new member orientation. She works directly with the seven literary societies on campus in several capacities, but a large part of Knapp’s responsibility is educating students on leadership development throughout their time in the literary societies and to build unity between the groups.

Knapp would like to improve the marketing materials and the social event registration process, as well as work with alumni, faculty and staff to assist in strengthening the students’ leadership skills.

Wellman serves alma mater as ACE Fellow

Debra Baker Wellman ’78, dean of the college of professional studies at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., and a 2014-15 American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow, is spending a full academic year at Illinois College.

ACE Fellows observe and work with the president and other senior officers at their host institution, attend decision-

making meetings and focus on issues of concern. According to Wellman, the purpose of the ACE Fellowship is to prepare people like herself for senior leadership positions like provost and president.

Wellman said, “When I began to review options of where to spend my fellowship, I did not put IC down as an option because it was my alma mater. After reviewing many colleges, I found myself searching for schools that had presidents like President Farley when it hit me that I ought to just work with President Farley.”

Mellon Foundation grant supports Illinois College’s digital learning initiativeIllinois College was awarded a grant of $100,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of the “Digital Tools for the Liberal Arts” project.

This initiative will prepare faculty and students to effectively use a new Digital Learning Center in Schewe Library. The Digital Learning Center offers an open, informal, collaborative learning space where faculty can work with students to inspire exploration, discovery and information exchange.

Grant funding will support a professional development program involving faculty and students, and will be led by professional librarians and information technology specialists during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years.

Matching funding, totaling more than $67,000, is being provided by a contribution from the estate of Dr. Henry C. Galant ’40, whose gift was inspired by the teaching he received at Illinois College in 1937-38.

Dwyer named assistant director of annual giving

Lauren Dwyer ’10 is the new assistant director of annual giving and alumni relations at Illinois College. She will help support the Office of Development and Alumni Relations in activities pertaining to annual giving, stewardship and alumni event planning.

Dwyer graduated from Illinois College with a degree in communication and rhetorical

studies. She was previously an admission counselor at her alma mater. She sees this new position as a great opportunity.

Dwyer’s parents, Dave Dwyer ’76 and Dawn Embleton Dwyer ’79, and her brother, David Dwyer ’07, are graduates.

Tobin named provost and dean of the College

Earlier this year Illinois College President Barbara Farley named Elizabeth Tobin to the new position of provost and dean of the College. Tobin had served as the chief academic officer of the College since 2006.

“I knew of Dean Tobin’s distinguished reputation for academic leadership before assuming the presidency of

Illinois College,” Farley said. “I am enormously grateful that she agreed to my request to assume additional campuswide and strategic responsibilities, and to support my work in the day-to-day operations of the College.”

A few of Tobin’s new responsibilities include taking the lead on the Strategy Steering Committee, the Clearance Project to ensure students’ financial accountability and the discussions about revising summer orientations. She will also create a Council on Experiential Learning to allow those who lead student experiential learning initiatives to collaborate.

President Farley also announced two other changes in the Office of Academic Affairs. She named Adam Porter as dean of faculty and Andrew Jones as dean of student success. Both positions will report to Tobin.

Porter, formerly the associate dean of the college, will be responsible for working with faculty on curriculum, governance, assessment of student learning, hiring of new faculty and yearly evaluation of faculty.

Jones, former director of the Center for Academic Excellence, will be responsible for working with both students and faculty to promote student success. He leads the Early Intervention Group which monitors and supports students struggling

academically and the Dorothy Foster Society which connects outstanding new students with each other and with opportunities for intellectual achievement.

Jenny Barker-Devine, associate professor of history, could always envision what the newly dedicated Khalaf Al Habtoor Archives at Illinois College would look like when completed. It was thrilling to host the project’s benefactor at the dedication on October 13. Even better than that, Barker-Devine said, was observing Dr. Khalaf Al Habtoor H’10 show off the facility to former President Jimmy Carter the following day.

Carter was on campus to deliver the Phi Alpha lecture, “Waging Peace,” at Al Habtoor’s request, and the two statesmen spent time touring the archives during the visit. “It was just a real thrill to have Jimmy Carter in our archives,” she said. “This was something I would have never anticipated, ever. Dr. Al Habtoor was telling him where things were going to go. He was really excited about it.”

There is also excitement for the opportunity and potential the archives will give the students and faculty. During the dedication ceremony, Al Habtoor said he was thankful to have this opportunity to assist Illinois College.

“This is for the future of the people, for the generations to come,” Al Habtoor said. “For people to see and review all the documents, like those of my friend, Paul Findley, like those of the great leader, Abraham Lincoln, and so many other people.”

The new archive facility gives the faculty and students easier access to historical documents and artifacts that could be incorporated into the classroom.

“There are all kinds of possibilities for faculty,” Barker-Devine said. “We have even broader collections than I understood just a month ago. When we moved everything, I really had a chance see what we had – a lot of things were tucked away or hidden.”

Rare books from the Illinois College medical school from the 1840s, along with books on fashion and religion, are just a few examples of what the archive houses. “If our scientists are interested in biology, chemistry or physiology from the 19th century, these medical books would be useful to them. I can

just see the theatre department coming in and using some of these old-fashioned books to do research for costumes. We have a whole variety of things that people can use. My goal in the next few years is to identify these things and hopefully get some more faculty in to utilize them.”

Among the many artifacts that will be stored in the archives are numerous documents and maps from the College’s past. An image of Monticello painted on human hair in the early 19th century, the trunk carried by Illinois College’s first president, Edward Beecher, the original documents from the Jacksonville Female Academy, one of the first colleges for women in the United States, and the congressional papers of Paul Findley ’43 are just a handful of examples that will be housed in the archives.

Along with research projects, another goal is for students to gain real work experience in an archive environment. Experiential learning and student-faculty research have become a hallmark of an Illinois College education. Over 70 percent of IC graduates take advantage of opportunities like this one to add ink to their résumés. “I’ve said over the last four years that the students have done all the work. I sign time sheets and point them in a direction, but everything that is in nice new boxes, everything that has been rehoused or organized, that’s them. That’s what they can do for the College, and I’m really excited knowing that it’s made a difference.”

Another way to get students firsthand knowledge of the archives is to build a class around the subject. History 130: Into the Archives, taught by Barker-Devine, is a first-year seminar class that does just that.

“We spent the first part of the semester learning about archives, and now we are getting into an actual project where they are going to be making videos about a specific document or artifact,” Barker-Devine said. “Then we can upload the videos to YouTube which allows us to show a broader audience what we have.”

Al Habtoor’s donation of $600,000, a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Challenge grant of $200,000 and numerous other donations from supporters are helping to make this vision of the archives a reality.

“It’s really humbling to think that you start with this small idea, and people get behind it,” Barker-Devine said. “It was great to see Dr. Al Habtoor there getting behind it, and it was really exciting to me to see how excited he was about the archives. He believed in the project, and I was glad that he was happy with it.”

At the dedication, Illinois College President Barbara A. Farley recognized many of the College’s past and present librarians, and members of the College’s staff and board who championed the creation of an updated, climate controlled, state-of-the-art archives.

“The impact of these archives and what is here will be far reaching,” Farley said. “I’m excited to see what discoveries our students make through these special collections.”

Illinois College has yet to raise nearly $100,000 in matching funds for the endowment that will allow the hiring of a full-time archivist and provide research support for faculty and visiting scholars to explore the archival holdings. For donation information, please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at 217.245.3046 or www.ic.edu/giving.

McGinnis named preseason All-American by Women’s DIII NewsIllinois College women’s basketball player Hannah McGinnis ’15 was selected as a Division III preseason All-American by Women’s DIII News. The publication broke the country down into eight regions and named three players from each to the preseason list. McGinnis joins Wisconsin-Superior’s Sally Linzmeier and Washington University of St. Louis’ Melissa Gilke as the choices from the Central Region.

As a junior, McGinnis averaged 20.5 points and 12.8 rebounds per game to lead the Lady Blues to a 12-11 record in the first year under Head Coach Lora Westling. In a game against Knox on February 19, she set an Illinois College school record with 44 points while converting on a Midwest Conference-record 19 field goals in the contest. McGinnis ended last season as the MWC Player of the Year, the first Lady Blues player to do so since Martha Vest Blakeley ’99 in the 1998-99 season. She comes into the season needing just 94 more points to reach the 1,000-point threshold for her career.

“To be recognized on a national level is a true testament to Hannah’s competitiveness, leadership and work ethic,” said Westling. “She had an outstanding junior season, but this honor goes to show that the bar has been raised both for her and for our program.”

McGinnis and Illinois College began their season across town against MacMurray College on November 17. The home opener came two days later on November 19, facing Fontbonne University.

IC football program enters partnership with Unequal TechnologiesIllinois College Athletic Director Mike Snyder and Head Football Coach Garrett Campbell are proud to unveil a new partnership with Unequal Technologies which will offer the entire IC Blueboy football team use of the Unequal Gyro, a supplemental helmet liner fortified with Kevlar and Accelleron designed to reduce the risk of concussions. Handouts of the gear took place at the Bruner Fitness and Recreation Center with Dan Tovrog of Echelon Sports Armor on hand to oversee installations and fitting.

Illinois College becomes one of the first NCAA programs in the country to provide every one of its players with the option of the Unequal Gyro helmet liner. The only other NCAA team to have its entire team outfitted is FBS squad Southern Methodist University (SMU). SMU began experimenting with Unequal padding back in 2011, but just this season outfitted its entire team with the Unequal Gyro.

Unequal Technologies are being used by far more than football players. Soccer, hockey and various other high-impact sports are using Unequal products to protect their athletes. This technology helps to disperse the energy of an impact away from the student-athlete, significantly reducing the likelihood of concussions. With the effect of concussions on student-athletes becoming more and more understood by everyone in the athletic community, student-athlete safety is at the top of the list of concerns.

“As an athletics administrator, the topic of student-athlete safety is always on my mind,” said Snyder. “We are at a time when discussion on player safety in regard to head trauma is at an

Pathwaysto Peace

December 2014 11

The first words uttered by former U.S. Representative Paul Findley ’43 were the perfect summary why over 2,600 people gathered in Sherman Gymnasium on October 14. Indeed, the presence of former President of the United States Jimmy Carter H’14 and Dr. Khalaf Al Habtoor H’10 was an amazing opportunity for Illinois College and the local community to catch a glimpse of two titans of world peace-keeping efforts in their own backyard. Al Habtoor’s return visit to the Hilltop was to announce a groundbreaking program, Pathways to Peace, and he invited his friend, Carter, to join him in making this announcement. Carter also delivered the 17th Annual Phi Alpha Lecture at Al Habtoor’s request.

Pathways to Peace is a program reflecting the life’s work of Al Habtoor which seeks to resolve the issues at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to create a lasting peace in the region. Envisioned by Al Habtoor, supported by his Foundation, and presented to Illinois College by Dr. Andrew Findley of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, the program provides a select group of Illinois College students and faculty the

opportunity to participate in a unique seminar dedicated to developing potential solutions to the issues plaguing Israel and Palestine. Illinois College Political Science Professor Karen Dean, who also serves as the director of the Al Habtoor Leadership Center, built the seminar on Findley’s ideas. The seminar will culminate with a trip to the Middle East where research findings will be presented to Al Habtoor in Dubai. Using the fresh perspectives of these talented participants, the hope is for ideas that could lead to a lasting resolution.

In announcing the Pathways to Peace program, no guest speaker could have been more appropriate for Al Habtoor to invite than Carter. While in office, Carter brokered the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, normalizing relations and ending armed conflicts which had begun in 1948. After leaving the White House, Carter’s accomplishments include establishing The Carter Center to focus on peace-keeping efforts across the globe. In recognition of this work, Carter was honored in 2002 with the Nobel Peace Prize.

Before Carter was introduced by Al Habtoor, Illinois College President Barbara A. Farley delivered opening remarks for the ceremony. She noted that Al Habtoor had just the previous week received the inaugural lifetime achievement award from the C3 U.S.–Arab Summit in recognition of his many contributions to regional peace, prosperity and philanthropy. His philanthropy extends well beyond his home region of the United Arab Emirates. Since being introduced to Illinois College through his work with Findley, Al Habtoor has sparked a mini-renaissance on campus. He established the Khalaf Al Habtoor Leadership Center, enabled extensive renovations of Whipple Hall and the creation of the Khalaf Al Habtoor Archives, and funded the construction of the Paul A. Findley Congressional Office Museum.

At the conclusion of Al Habtoor’s Pathways to Peace initiative announcement and introduction of Carter, the two friends embraced as the podium was turned to the former president who began his speech with the attention-grabbing statement, “Just once in the history of humanity has the entire world decided to commit itself to peace and human rights.” Alluding to the founding of the United Nations after World War II, Carter spoke stirringly about how he resolved as president to enact the principles of the

“We have the privilege of being with two giants here today.”


U.N. as long as he held office. Thunderous applause erupted when he stated, “When I went out of office at the end of four years, we had not fired a bullet; we had not dropped a bomb; we had not launched a missile against another country.”

Carter spoke about the formation of The Carter Center and its purpose of serving as a “miniature Camp David” with respect to human rights issues. In referencing his book, “Talking Peace,” he pointed out the similarities that existed between two warring nations or factions and the struggles that anyone could have: an incompatible husband and wife, a fight between a father and son, or a difference between two students on a college campus. In each, the stories may change, but the root cause is common. Only when the opposing sides come to the table in a respectful way, or, barring that, with the help of an intermediary, will the situation come to a satisfactory end.

Speaking to the Middle Eastern conflict, Carter stated that his dream for 35 years has been to bring peace to Israel. He quickly followed by saying that the only way there can be peace for Israel is if there is also peace for Palestine. In regard to the role that the U.S. can play in the process, he mentioned the election cycle and acknowledged that he hopes our political leaders in Washington, D.C., will move forward after November to reassert themselves into the conversation between the sides.

The last topics on which Carter touched involved the global human rights abuse of women and girls, including slavery and human trafficking. He writes about these difficult problems including the need to ensure the safety of women on college campuses in his newest book titled “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.”

Following the lecture, a panel discussion including Carter, Al Habtoor and Findley was moderated by Illinois College Provost Elizabeth Tobin. A total of six questions from those submitted by Illinois College’s faculty for consideration were selected for the panelists to answer. Topics included the Middle East, regional economics and the role that women must play in the quest for equal rights.

At the conclusion of the panel discussion, a Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa was conferred upon Carter by Farley who stated, “On behalf of Illinois College and the Board of Trustees, it is my great honor to recognize President Carter this afternoon for his lifelong pursuit of peacemaking around the world.”

The Phi Alpha Lecture extended beyond Sherman Gymnasium to a worldwide audience through online streaming of the event and extensive media attention. News outlets from over 100 cities in 38 states covered the convocation. Internationally, the video has been viewed from the Illinois College website in Australia, Canada, Germany, Guam, Kuwait and in Al Habtoor’s home country, the United Arab Emirates.

For those 2,600 people fortunate enough to be in attendance, the opportunity to share the same room with Carter, who at the age of 90, seems to have the spirit and energy of someone half his age, extended beyond political affiliations. To be in the presence of someone using his influence for the good of the world was a powerful and extraordinary experience. It was moving to see that politicians from across the aisle such as Carter and Findley could come together with mutual respect and admiration to work toward a common goal and rise above the partisanship of our current political climate.

In the words of Findley, Carter “Moved out of the White House and went back to Plains and Atlanta, but his presidency did not stop. It continues to this very day. I don’t know of any other president in history who has been so committed to his country and to getting good things done, who matches the skill and determination of our guest today.”

HOMECOMING

Alumni and friends of Illinois College always seem to share a similar sentiment regarding why they make it back to campus for Homecoming Weekend. Katie Connolly ’09 may have summed it up the best – “It’s the friendships we made.”

This year’s homecoming celebration, October 10-12, gave everyone a chance to catch up with old friends and talk about the exciting things that are happening at IC.

Music, great company and laughter filled the Alumni House and Hartman Gardens on Friday evening for the annual wine and cheese reception. The event, hosted by the Illinois College Alumni Association, started Homecoming Weekend for alumni and friends. Nearly 200 guests enjoyed live music, free food and beverages at the event.

On Saturday morning alumni football players joined the current football team and coaching staff for “Breakfast with the Blueboys” hosted by Conrad ’65 and Bobby Noll ’02. Former

Blueboy football players shared gameday advice and stories about the impact

Illinois College football made on their lives.

Illinois College dignitaries, students, alumni, friends and members of the community shared their True Blue spirit as the route traveled east on State Street and through the downtown square. Parade marshal Bill Merris ’56 led the parade west on College Avenue and ended the route at Illinois College.

Merris has passionately supported Illinois College and the local Jacksonville community over the years. He began his 43-year career at the College in 1958 as the men’s basketball coach. After his retirement in 2001, Merris was named Emeritus Associate Professor of Physical Education. Merris led his teams in 330 recorded victories and three NAIA postseason playoff appearances. He received the Distinguished Service Citation from the Illinois College Alumni Association in 1990. In 1997 Merris received the Illinois College Ambassador Award followed

In addition, he has mentored countless students, participated in lobbying for maintaining physical education in schools, and contributed to campus initiatives that support local education needs such as the William and Marilyn Merris Center for Literacy.

The parade route brought the community together and steered alumni and friends back to the Hilltop at Illinois College. The Donor Recognition Luncheon, a complimentary, private event, welcomed guests to the Homecoming Celebration Tent. Guests enjoyed live music by “The Rowdy Jones Band,” lunch, a Bloody Mary bar and other giveaways.

This year the Office of Development and Alumni Relations greeted nearly 350 people at the Homecoming Celebration Tent as a way to thank alumni, parents and friends who generously support Illinois College with monetary gifts each year.

A group of alumni were invited to lift their voices in song at the McGaw Fine Arts Center under the direction of Abby Musgrove, director of choral activities, and Garrett Allman, associate professor of music. The group rehearsed two selections in preparation for a performance with the Illinois College Concert Choir on Sunday morning during the Homecoming Worship Service in Rammelkamp Chapel.

New men’s and women’s soccer head coaches, Tyler Sheikh and Linda Hamilton, invited alumni soccer players and their families to the Homecoming Celebration Tent for a meet-and-greet focused on Blueboys and Lady Blues soccer.

The excitement continued as the crowd of homecoming visitors witnessed the 31-24 Blueboy victory over Monmouth College. Following the win, excited fans made their way to the Homecoming Celebration Tent to reminisce with old and new friends while the popular Chicago band, “Mike & Joe,” provided musical entertainment.

Illinois College Classes of 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009 gathered in the True Blue Lounge under the Homecoming Celebration Tent for conversation, refreshments and reunion photos. Later in the evening, President Farley hosted reunions for the Classes of 1969, 1974, 1979 and 1984 at Barnes House. Hors d’oeuvres, refreshments and music by “The Rob Killam Trio” accented the intimate gathering as friends and classmates shared memories and gathered for official class photos.

Before the weekend came to an end, alumni and friends joined Chaplain Katrina Jenkins and Alumni Association Director DeVone Eurales ’05 at Rammelkamp Chapel on Sunday morning for a nondenominational worship service. The Alumni Choir and Illinois College Concert Choir were featured during the service.

Susan Matheis ’09 cherishes the time she spent at IC, as well as having the chance to come back to campus.“I cannot re-create what I have here at IC anywhere else. The connections that I have with people are once in a lifetime. I love the people that I came to IC with. They are my True Blue family.” IC

“It’s the friendships we made.”

From the Hilltop to baseball, Callahan led distinguished careerFormer Gamma Nu president, member of Student Forum and pitcher for the Illinois College baseball team, E. Eugene “Gene” Callahan ’55 died on August 4, 2014. He graduated from Illinois College in 1955 with a B.A. in English before completing two years of military service in the U.S. Army. Upon his honorable discharge, Callahan

pursued his passion for writing and journalism. He worked for the State Journal-Register in Springfield as a reporter until 1967, during which time (1965-1967) he also handled the downstate Illinois reporting assignments for the New York Times and Time Magazine. Callahan next took on a career

in politics, serving as deputy press secretary under Illinois Governor Samuel Shapiro, later Governor Otto Kerner, and eventually serving as chief of staff to Lt. Governor Paul Simon and U.S. Senator Alan Dixon. Callahan finished his career in politics by integrating his love for baseball. He served as Major League Baseball’s first director of government relations until 1998.

While at Illinois College he met Antoinette L. “Ann” Hammond ’55 who he married in 1957. They are the parents of three children, Daniel (deceased), Lynn Riddley and U.S. Representative Cheri Callahan Bustos ’83. Grandson Nick Bustos ’10 is also an alumnus of Illinois College.

Damsgaard remembered for dedication to art and alma materIllinois College alumna and Trustee Emerita Patricia Carlson Damsgaard ‘53

passed away on August 17, 2014. She will be remembered for her dedication to Illinois College and her passion for art.

During her time as a student at Illinois College, Damsgaard was a member of Chi Beta Literary Society. After graduating with a B.A. in history in

1953, she worked as a legal secretary in Chicago. She later served as alumni director at Illinois College in 1956 and was also a part-time student recruiter in the Chicago area. Committed to the alumni network, Damsgaard began alumni chapters in the St. Louis and Houston areas. A member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors, she later served as president of the Alumni Association. Because of her dedication to Illinois College, Damsgaard was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1996 and served on the Board until 2004, when she was named trustee emerita.

Damsgaard was a passionate artist and committed to teaching others about art. She attended Glasell School of Art in Houston, Texas, in 1968 and later received her teaching certificate from Washington University in St. Louis in 1979. She taught adult education and children’s summer programs in the Parkway School system from 1975 to 1990 and also taught middle school art classes during the school year. She coordinated and taught at the St. Louis Artist Guild from 1985 to 1987. During her free time, Damsgaard painted watercolors, participated in art shows and sold her paintings for over 20 years. Her passion for art led her to establish the Carlson-Damsgaard Art Scholarship to recognize outstanding talent.

Damsgaard is survived by her husband, Conrad Damsgaard ’57; daughters Susan Damsgaard-Brand ’81, Kristine Damsgaard and Elizabeth Damsgaard-Rodriguez; and grandchildren Rachel Brand ’18, Zachary Brand, Jacob Rodriguez and Anna Rodriguez.

Million’s generosity extends to Illinois College and communityHoward Million H’12, who was 102 at the time of his passing on October 10, 2014, was a distinguished friend of Illinois College. Raised on a farm near Roodhouse, Million always wanted to attend college, but never got the chance. He had a successful career as a farmer and was the founder and president of the former Roodhouse

Savings & Loan Association. Through his desire to help students attend college, he made plans to establish the Howard and Vera Million Scholarship at Illinois College in 2012 to help financially assist students from Greene, Morgan and Scott Counties. Illinois College awarded Million an Honorary Bachelor of Arts degree during the 2012 Commencement ceremony.

Planned and Estate Gifts Realized in 2013-14Illinois College celebrates the lives of these Sturtevant Society members who have passed on, but whose commitment carries on through gifts from their will or estate plans. As is often the case, distributions from some estates were received over multiple fiscal years. Planned and estate gifts receipted during the 2013-14 fiscal year totaled $435,560.58.

“What do you want to preserve?”

Claribel Cully ’36 – Support for the General Endowment

Claribel was a lifelong champion of education, having taught at the high school level nearly 40 years. A former Alumni Association Director, Distinguished Service Award Recipient and loyal annual donor, she was deeply committed to preserving the transformative experiences provided to students on the Hilltop. Therefore, she left a generous legacy through a gift of $403,060.58 from her estate for the general endowment which supports many aspects of the College including operations, scholarships and academic programming.

Claire Heckman ’64 – Support for the General Endowment

Claire often acknowledged IC for providing her with a solid education that opened doors through her career in the credit card industry. To ensure other students received the same opportunities, she set up gifts through her estate to support programs that were important to her including Chi Beta Literary Society. Last summer IC received the final distribution from her estate – a $20,000 gift for the general endowment fund.

John Hinde – Support for the Helen Patterson Hinde Endowed Scholarship

John’s affinity for IC was sparked by his late wife, Helen ’45, who he married at David A. Smith House in 1950. John and Helen were avid supporters of her alma mater throughout their more than 60 years of marriage including the Fine Arts Series, IC Fund and capital projects. At John’s passing, he allocated $12,500 from his estate to support a scholarship bearing Helen’s name which helps make an IC education more affordable for a student from Morgan County.

In reflecting on her pioneering careers as a high school teacher, Christian minister and senior vice president of a major power company, Nancy Ray Ross ’65 can attest to the importance of the well-rounded education she received at Illinois College. “That’s the path that the liberal arts took me on,” noted Nancy, who visited her alma mater from Indianapolis this fall.

Giving back to the College that prepared her for such a winding and rewarding path was a mutual decision for her and her late husband, Steven. They established two endowed scholarships, one to honor former Dean Donald Eldred and another for Nancy’s parents, Robert and Loreene Ray. After Steven’s passing, she established an endowed travel award bearing his name.

“Giving ensures continuity. It helps places grow and survive,” Nancy explains. For this reason, IC not only benefits from her annual support, but from her estate plan as well. She has made a provision to provide IC with a gift to fund academic programming after her lifetime.

Planning for a gift after her lifetime granted Nancy membership in the Julian Monson Sturtevant Society. The Sturtevant Society was formed to recognize and thank donors with such foresight and commitment. Membership is granted without regard to the size of the gift and requests for anonymity are respected. It is important to notify the College of a gift through your will, trust, beneficiary designation, retirement account or insurance policy because it aids in long-term planning and helps ensure that your wishes are carried out when the gift is realized.

“I want to support IC in this way so that the College has more years ahead of it, so more students can be impacted by the education offered here,” says Nancy of the gift through her trust. “What do you want to preserve?”

“What do you want to preserve?”

“Through the years since graduating from Illinois College, giving to support the school has been part of our routine. The amounts we have been able to give have varied, but our appreciation for Illinois College and the

opportunities it presented to us as students has never changed. One memory that stands out in particular is when the two of us were asked to accompany the wonderful soloist, John Walker, on the piano together

as he sang with the IC orchestra in the spring of 1970. After we got to know him through the rehearsals, Linda approached him and asked if he would sing at our wedding later that year, which he agreed to do. We then renewed our acquaintance a few years later when John Walker appeared in a lead role with the Seattle

Opera. Even 2,000 miles away, the IC community was with us. This is just one example of the opportunities unique to IC. Others for us included the chance to compete at the intercollegiate level in varsity baseball and debate, and in Sigma Phi

Epsilon and Pi Pi Rho literary societies. It is amazing to see how, through the years, over and over again, those experiences have made a tremendous, positive impact on our endeavors both personal and professional. In addition, of course, are the great friendships we were

able to make and the chance to learn from outstanding professors. Giving to Illinois College is one of the ways we are able to keep these memories fresh and meaningful and to stay a part of the IC community.”

“I give to the study abroad program specifically because I grew up in a small rural community without any ideas of global consciousness. Study abroad was not available to me at IC while I was a student. It wasn’t until I worked at Harvard and saw their study abroad program and how successful it was for students to broaden their experiences by visiting for a semester in another part of the world. Then, when I began to travel myself I realized how it changed my mind, not just about the countries I visited, but about how other countries perceive the USA.

We can’t honestly begin to understand the problems of any country unless we walk around in it, live it, and feel it for ourselves. I think it is really important for students to study in this way at an early age, not just because we live in a global economy, but because we are one planet.”

“Giving toward scholarships open doors for students. Our support allows them to come to IC, where they can grow as a person, be nurtured by their coaches and professors, and take part in opportunities that will serve them

well for the rest of their personal and professional lives.”

– Bill Bien ’66 | Naperville

The College is grateful for their contributions to the IC Fund and other areas of campus, which serve as a testament to the value of an IC education.

“As an accounting major looking back at the time I spent both on stage and behind the scenes, I’ve come to realize the theatre provided an opportunity to work with a diverse group of individuals and develop communication skills and self-

discipline. Skills developed through theatre that are equally applicable to the business world. I give back to TheatreWorks through the IC Fund because I want current students to have the same or better opportunities than I was given as a student.”

As ItIC

We have been asked many times over the years why we choose to support Illinois College through donations to the IC Fund, the Varsity Club and other causes. A clear and somewhat selfish response is that every success the College enjoys enhances the value of our degree. Simply stated, the value of our degree is directly proportional to the reputation that Illinois College possesses.

However, we find that the true reason we give has more to do with the emotional connection we both feel toward our alma mater. Our lives were forever changed by our time on the Hilltop, and for that we couldn’t be more grateful.

We are thankful for …

… the sense of community that Illinois College provided. A small, private, liberal arts education isn’t for everyone. But for the two of us, it was exactly what we needed. For me, coming from a very small high school with a graduating class of only 48 students, I worried that I would be overwhelmed by a large university. I sought a college environment that would feel like a community, and knew that I needed professors who would come to know me as an individual. Illinois College provided exactly that.

I can still picture Dr. Elwood stopping mid-lecture, looking me in the eye and stating, “You look like you have a question.” He knew me so well that I didn’t even have to raise my hand. My on-campus job in the Alumni Office added to the sense of community that I so desired. The women who staffed the office took the time to get to know me, allowed me time off when I needed to study for a special test and included the student staff in their holiday parties. For Blair, the college search primarily involved finding a school where he could continue to play football and basketball, as he could not imagine giving up the sports that he so enjoyed, and the sense of camaraderie that he had grown to cherish. After connecting with Coach Anderson, visiting campus and eating in Cummings Dining Hall, his choice was finalized.

… the well-rounded, liberal arts education that we received. IC provided many more gifts than we, at 18 years old, could have imagined that we wanted or needed. Because of art appreciation course, I can approach a trip to an art museum armed with some background knowledge. My geography class has proven so useful over the years, even though I remember painfully the Spring Break that I spent memorizing over 500 global points of interest, compliments of Dr. Davis. Blair found he enjoyed English Literature, and, in part due to

some prodding by Dr. Hahn, earned a minor in this subject that he never intended to pursue. And we both have found that our ability to write clearly, think critically and speak publicly have enhanced our careers, not to mention our lives.

… the opportunity to participate in literary societies. When each of us were in the throes of pledging, neither could have imagined that a commitment to community service would be one of the lasting influences of our time spent with Phi Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon. We remain active in our communities: I’ve spent years volunteering in our children’s schools and in scouting, and Blair has served as a volunteer coach and as a board member for a Detroit community revitalization organization.

The literary productions provided a unique opportunity to develop our writing and public speaking skills outside of the classroom. Blair served as Phi Alpha’s poet, and once again, Dr. Hahn provided a nurturing sense of direction for him as he stepped outside of his comfort zone.

The relationships we built due to our involvement in our societies are, perhaps, the most cherished gifts of our IC education. My sisters from Sigma Phi Epsilon, though spread across six states, still gather once a year to reconnect and recharge. Blair also developed strong ties with his IC friends, both on the football field and in Phi Hall.

… the leadership opportunities we were afforded. The hours spent serving on Homecoming and Orientation Committees, Student Government and in my literary society were enjoyable and helped me become involved in the campus community and get to know other students. Blair spent countless hours on the football field, in the weight room and in Phi Hall. What we didn’t realize at the time was that we were building leadership skills that we would use later to much advantage in our careers. We were learning to work with other people from different backgrounds and differing perspectives in order to reach a common goal. We strengthened our desire to work hard and give tirelessly of ourselves.

Illinois College will always be a special place for us. It’s where we became adults, learned lifelong skills, developed lasting friendships and found each other. We will forever be thankful.

Editor’s note: Blair, a member of the Illinois College Sports Hall of Fame, is a certified public accountant and the chief operating officer/chief financial officer at Portfolio Property Management Global and CASS Tech in Detroit, Mich. Angie graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Illinois College, and is currently a stay-at-home mom preparing to launch a new career in the real estate industry.

Thank you, Illinois College, for changing our livesby Blair ’93 and Angie Dunn Ackman ’91

At a ceremony highlighting the advance of civil rights in 1978, United States President Jimmy Carter signed legislation protecting citizens from employment discrimination based on age. Congressman Paul Findley ’43 (fourth from left) and Rep. Claude Pepper of Florida were chief sponsors of the bill, and they were joined by several colleagues in the Rose Garden for the signing ceremony. The president gave Findley the pen that was used to sign the bill, and it is on display in the Paul Findley Congressional Museum in Whipple Hall.
