TRAIL PUBLISHED BY Student's Association of Daniel Baker College • CONTENTS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE You go out from the halls of this insti- tution on its Golden Anniversary. In the spirit and with the vivacity of youth, you leave an institution mature in years and rich in traditions. In your brief sojourn here you have become heirs of the past; partakers of the rich experience, ripe scholarship and Christian character of men and women whose lives exemplify the wholesome traditions of the college, and foster the ideals upon which Mature scholarship and fundamental Christian character, built into manhood and womanhood, constitute the ideals upon which your Alma Mater was founded. Fifty years of sacrificial service and multiplied thousands of dollars have been spent for the propaga- tion and promotion of these high ideals. These are your heri- tage. Evaluate them properly, cherish them, foster them. Thus you will attain them. And surely then you will be loyal ex-students; and I pray, successful. Sincerely yours, R. G. Davis, Dr. Davis in the President’s Office DEDICATION Brooke Smith Sec’y-Treas. Board of Trustees Daniel Baker’s Board of Trustees boasts two men who have served the college for fifty years . . . the entire era during which the college has served the state. Brooke Smith is the only secretary the Board has ever had. He has signed every diploma ever is- sued by the college. This year he will sign the certificates for the fiftieth class to leave the college, his final action in fifty years of active sacrificial service to Daniel Baker. Because these men have been so faithful in their service to the college, because of the efforts they have expended and the sacrifices they have made through the years in an ef- fort to keep the college at its peak of service . . . because they have devoted fifty years of their lives to the betterment of Daniel Baker College, this book is dedicated to Brooke Smith, secretary, and Judge T. C. Wilkinson, president, of the Board of Trustees. Judge T. C. Wilkinson, the other active charter member, was elected president of the Board last May. He was first elected to the Board soon after he came to Brownwood as a young lawyer more than fifty years ago. He is still attorney for the college. Judge T. C. Wilkinson Present President of Board IN MEMORIAM Founders of Daniel Baker College. For fifty years, a half a century, in life and in death, they have worked for the best inter- ests of the young people of Central Texas. During their lifetime they gave all—physi- cally, financially and spiritually—to the foundation of a truly Christian institution of higher learning for young men and for young women. Since the culmination of their physical labours, their spirit has been the guiding light of the leaders of the insti- tution. The work started by Dr. and Mrs. McClelland has been carried on through the years, until, at the end of fifty years service, Daniel Baker has reached a new peak in ser- vice and has set new and high goals which will more closely approximate the ideals of the founders. It is with the thoughts of services ren- dered and the ideals instilled into the hearts of their followers that we dedicate this book to the sacred and loving memory of Dr. and Mrs. Brainard T. McClelland, founders of Daniel Baker College. Dr. B. T. McClelland Founder of Daniel Baker MM DANIEL BAKER, 1889 First session in two rooms on the right. A BRIEF HISTORY OF DANIEF BAKER Daniel Baker College was founded in 1889 by Dr. B. T. McClelland. The first building site was chosen for the college in 1887, when Dr. Mc- Clelland bought 30 acres of land located between Fisk Street and Center Avenue. The foundation for the new college building was laid and the walls had risen to two or three feet above the ground when it was learned that the Baptists had bought the adjoining piece of land between the chos- en site and Austin Avenue, for the purpose of erecting a Baptist College. Dr. McClelland knew that two colleges only about two hundred feet apart could not be successful, so he sold his land to the Baptists and looked elsewhere for a location. rt=� £ oocs First Graduation Class In Music Daniel Baker Invincibles, Football Team, 1903 McClelland Hall for Girls, 1889 Library In Early Day HISTORY At this time Mr. M. J. Coggin, and his brother, S. R. Coggin, be- came interested in the problem of a suitable location and offered to donate land in the south part of town for a college site. Their offer was accepted, and the foundation started on the original site was torn up and moved to the present location. The new location had on it a brick building which had been used for a number of years for a school by Dr. Paul C. Ragsdale and his brother, Mark Ragsdale. In fact, it was the first school building erected in Brown county. It is still in use by Daniel Baker as a chemical laboratory. Plans are being made to convert it into a museum.

C =� £aOO 3c'5 HISTORY In addition to the land, the Coggin brothers gave $4,000 in cash for the erection of the administration building, known as “Coggin Hall.” Dr. McClelland designed and planned this beautiful and artistic building, which is still in use today, and dear to the heart of every student and ex- student of Daniel Baker. As the college grew in students and supporting friends, other build- ings were added from time to time. The girls’ dormitory was constructed in 1910. The beautiful Coggin Memorial Chapel was erected in 1921 at a cost of $35,000 from the Coggin legacy and the contributions of other friends. In 1928 the gymnasium was added to the college’s physical equipment. HISTORY Dr. McClelland’s death, in March 1901, came as a staggering blow to the college; but his widow, Mrs. Susan Mary McClelland, who had so ably served at her husband’s side, bravely took up the work where Dr. McClelland left off. Assisted by two other members of the faculty, Mr. George T. Barnes and Mr. E. Homer Jones, she managed the affairs of the college until 1902. In these early days the liberality of Mr. S. R. Coggin, J. A. Austin, and Mr. Brooke Smith, and other loyal friends, saved the institution from closing its doors more than once. The Rev. E. D. Brown became president of the college in 1902 and served until 1904, when he was succeeded by Dr. S. E. Chandler, who served until 1908, and then a second term as president from 1921 to 1933. r oos FIRST GRADUATION CLASS, 1095 Back Row: H. F. Mayes, W. R. Hickman, John Mead, Thomas Hart, S. M. Sewell. Front Row: Willie Jenkins, Art Room, 1895 May Jenkins, Irene Adams. HISTORY Rev. A. H. P. McCurdy, while pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, served as president of the college in 1908 and 1909. In 1909 Dr. Tinsley Penick Junkin became president, also serving two terms, the first from 1909 to 1914, and the second from 1916 to 1918. Professor A. E. Porter served as acting president from 1914 to 1915, followed by William W. Bondurant as president, from 1915 to 1916. After Dr. Junkin’s second term, Mr. Thomas H. Hart served as act- ing president in 1918 and 1919. From 1919 to 1921, French W. Thomp- son served as president until Dr. S. E. Chandler’s second term, which began in 1921. Dr. Chandler, desiring to be relieved of the heavy responsibility of the presidency, retired from that office in 1933 and accepted the Chair of Bible in which he is still serving. f bOOcS Coggin Hall, 1895 Picnic Group, April 22,1908 McClelland Hall Additional Built, 1904-190T First Presbyterian Church Erected by Dr. McClelland, 1886 HISTORY Daniel Baker received a legacy from the Coggin Estate, a part of which was used in the construction of our chapel building while the re- mainder went to the endowment fund. Recently Mr. Ernest E. Kirkpat- rick has added to the endowment a gift of $10,000 to be known as the Ernest E. and Rita Kirkpatrick Endowment Fund, making a total effective endowment at present of $185,000. With the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary by the launching of a forward looking Golden Anniversary Expansion Program, it is hoped that the college will soon enjoy an increased endowment, much needed new buildings and more adequate physical equipment. The future looks bright for the old college. In addition to emphasizing the importance of the generally accepted objects of an educational institution, and the benefits to be derived from the courses of study therein, the Faculty and Board of Trustees of Daniel Baker College rec- ognize as more important the formation of Chris- tian character, the establishment of such principles of manhood and womanhood as will give to the Church, the State and the Home the strongest, the most useful, the best. Daniel Baker is one of the Standard Colleges of the State of Texas and is so recognized by the State Board of Education. In the Association of Texas Colleges, she ranks in the first class. The future looks bright for the institution j the Board of Trustees are now considering some extensive plans for the enlargement of the institution, in building, equipment and endowment. The suc- cessful completion of this project will place here, at this central point of the State of Texas an edu- cational institution worthy of the sacrifice of its founder and other faithful friends.

Hestir The Board of Trustees is the official body in whose hands is vested the control of the school. Its entity was made possible through a charter granted to it by the State of Texas. With it rests all business matters deal- ing with the college. One of the few qualifications is the majority of its members must be of the Presbyterian Church. Although the charter has been amended a few times, it stands, almost like the original. Two of the charter members are in active service at the present time. Judge Wilkinson, president, and Brooke Smith, secretary, have been members since its organization fifty years ago. Mr. Smith has been the only secretary for the group and has signed every diploma that has been issued from the college during its fifty years of service. This is a singular record that has been attained by Mr. Smith and one of which few schools can boast. IN MEMORY OF BONNARD LEE December 7,1918 May 7,1939 CLASSES COGGIN HALL ....

Coach “Shorty” Ransom, having re-entered athletics after a ten year lay off, proved that he could still teach the basket ball boys quite a few The boys ended the season with a .480 rating and in fifth place on the confer- ence ladder. Billie Stewart was mentioned by several coaches for their all-conference team, and Bratton, Petsick, English, Waters, Wilhelm, Allcorn, and Snodgrass were the,,finest group of ball players that Daniel Baker has put on the court in years. TRACK For the first time in several years some of the athletes have shown some in- terest in track. During the past year it looked as if Daniel Baker would place some men in the conference meet, but the boys failed to make the grade. In the next few years with the start that these few boys have given the team, Daniel Baker should come out of the poor showing that she has made in track.
