STRONG
More than 500 Wabash men fought in the Civil War, and last fall the College and Crawfordsville community gathered to honor those men, commemorate the 150th anniversary of Wabash’s involvement in the War, and to celebrate the publication of 500 Strong: Wabash College Students in the Civil War, edited by Professor Jim Barnes and his wife and research associate, Patience Barnes.

Your pursuit of social justice lives out the values expressed in Wabash’s mission, and you work closely with our students so that they might do the same.
➤
Your candor and straight talk put alumni at ease…you made Wabash a significantly stronger place. You engaged scores and scores of alumni and their families. You improved the lives of Wabash students, faculty, and staff. And you made every Wabash graduate with whom you interacted a better Wabash man.
➤
When recruiting young men and their families, you share stories about the influential relationships you had with your professors— Bert Stern, Charlie Scott, and Bob Mitchum—and you demonstrate in very real ways the life-changing impact Wabash professors have on their students.

you to work for Wabash 26 years ago, Dick Ristine ’41 saw in you a man who would love this good place and people with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, with a passion as deep as his own—a brother, even a son, in Wabash.
