WABASH COLLEGE Class Agents Letter Class of 1957 Office of Alumni Affairs P.O. Box 352 Class Agent Crawfordsville, IN 47933 John B. Yanko Web site: www.wabash.edu Email us: alumni@wabash.edu

April 29, 2004 Dear Men of ’57: The 17 year cicada “rising” will happen within the next few weeks in Cincinnati and should last about three weeks. Any interest in hearing about the “rising”? March 2004 the 111th annual Honor Scholarship Exams/Weekend included over 320 students from 25 states. How many of you were in Crawfordsville in spring 1953 for Honor Exams? Over 65% of students participating decide to attend Wabash and about 20% of the students receive scholarship money. Last year Wabash awarded $2.5 million in Honor Scholarships with a $40,000 per student average. Alumni referrals are significantly lower than the past two years. Now is a great time to refer high school juniors. Your help will be appreciated! Wabash was awarded a five year Lilly Endowment grant to help prepare students for business opportunities. The College has hired Lu Hamilton ’76 as the alumni career officer to administer the grant and use the Schroeder Career Center. The funds will be used to subsidize Indiana internships, with 11 students participating during the 2004 summer. Pete Metzelaars ’82 was named Offensive Quality Control Coach for the Indianapolis Colts…Attached with this letter is a New York Times article by Mike Conklin, provided by Gaylord Smith. I received a note from Jo Colvin, informing me of Arthur Colvin’s February 16, 2004 death. I had a brief conversation with Jo, who supplied the attached obituary. On behalf of Wabash College and the Class of ’57, we extend our sincere condolences to Jo and to their families. Release from Public Affairs Director Jim Amidon regarding Anthony Lobdell ’05 http://www.wabash.edu/news/displayStory_print.cfm?news_ID=1688

We ask that you keep the Lobdell family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they and all of us at the College cope with this tragedy. Sincerely,

A dream matchup in football There are plenty of snooty-sounding colleges such

as Smith. Wellesley, Barnard and Mt. Ho lyoke for women only , but what choices do guys have now that The Citadel has gone coed?

Well, if you're looking for an independent, traditional liberal-arts college that's men only, these three choices remain: Wabash in Indiana, Hampden-Sydney in Virginia and Morehouse, a black school, in Georgia.

This is a far cry from the day when most of the top universities —schools such as Harvard and Yale, not to mention West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy —were for men only. Today, meanwhile, there are about 70 member schools in the Coalition for Women's Colleges and, yes, there is no such association for the males.

Wabash, Hampden-Sydney and Morehouse have been holding the fort for more than a decade as the remaining, independent U.S. men's colleges, and though they've considered going coed at various times, each has maintained an illustrious, distinguished history.

Wabash, where 75 percent of the g raduates go on to graduate school, prides itself on the number of CEOs it has p roduced for the business world-12 percent

of its alumni hold the title "president" or "chairman." The school newspaper, The Bachelor, consistently wins awards and the football rivalry with DePauw is one of the nation's oldest.

Morehouse is the alma mater of Martin Luther King Jr., Spike Lee and Maynard Jackson. Ten years ago, one of its students, Nima Warfield, became the first African-American to win a Rhodes Scholarship from a historically black college.

Hampden-Sydney is as old as America itself, having been founded in 1776, and among its alumni is a U.S. president William Henry Harrison, a military hero.

As it turns out,Wabash and Hampden-Sydney have pretty darned good football teams this season.

Though they've never played each other in the sport, there is a chance they could face off in the NCAA's Division III championship contest.

How cool would that be? The Division III final game is known as the Stagg Bowl—or, just one "g" away from describing the schools.
