‘I do,’ again Not far from where they first met, Jim ’06 and Anna Beasley Dibble ’05 said “I do” all over again.

At the beginning of Homecoming weekend, Oct. 22-24, the St. Louis couple renewed their wedding vows, 10 years after they were married. They also renewed their vows five years ago, continuing a tradition started by Jim’s parents.

The brief ceremony, held in front of Wallace Hall, was officiated by one of the couple’s favorite faculty members during their time as students, business and finance professor Dick Johnston.

“It feels like we’ve never left a day,” said Anna at the ceremony. “It brings us back to the beginning. It would be hard to come back and not feel all that nostalgia. We found ourselves and found each other at Monmouth. It will always be a huge part of our lives and our love story.”

In addition to the Dibbles’ children, Crosby, 5, and Ellis, 3, the ceremony was witnessed by Johnston’s wife, Betsy, whom Johnston said he often brings up in his classes.

“There’s a financial problem that can be solved to an infinite number of spaces, and the way I tell my class to remember that is that my love for my wife is infinite,” said Johnston. “I also tell them that the best investment you can make is to be good to your spouse.”

As the ceremony neared its end, Johnston proclaimed, “You may now, once again, kiss the bride.”

“For Professor Johnston to do this for us was pretty special,” said Anna who, along with Jim and their kids, then headed to the Johnstons’ home for a dinner of baked ziti. “It’s the people that make Monmouth College what it is.”

HARVEST TIME REMINDS US OF IMPORTANCE OF NURTURE

W

hen I drive from Monmouth to Galesburg, I almost always use the old road, State 164, instead of the four-lane U.S. 34. It’s a better road, it really doesn’t take much longer, and it’s a prettier drive.

And that drive takes me through some of the richest farmland in the world. I can mark and measure the passage of a year through the changing scenery of those fields.

As I write this, on Nov. 4, the fields are pretty well bare, the harvest of soybeans and corn just about finished for this year.

It won’t be long, though, before farmers will be preparing those fields for another planting. Soon after there will be a wash of green carpeting the ground. By August, the corn—“as high as an elephant’s eye”—will form a tunnel and the soybean plants, green and full, will be waving in the breeze.

And then it will be harvest time again.

This drive is also a constant reminder of the importance of agriculture to our region and to our College. Farming provided much of the philanthropy upon which Monmouth was founded, and that remains true to this day. Farming has made it possible for generations of students to attend the College. Gifts of farmland form an important and significant part of our record-high endowment. Monmouth has produced leaders in agriculture at the

regional, national and international levels.

There are some powerful parallels between agriculture and education. Each has an enduring mission, but the means of pursuing and fulfilling that mission are constantly evolving (ask any grain farmer about GPS and $1 million combines).

Neither farming nor education can exist in a vacuum. Farmers work in a global arena, constantly anticipating and responding to changing market demands, economic conditions and public policies. The same applies to education. Prospective students, prospective employers and society at large have clear expectations for what a higher education experience should deliver, and we have to anticipate and respond to those expectations.

And, each year, both farmers and educators make a new planting. Farmers nurture their crops to a successful harvest. Educators nurture their students through to each year’s Commencement, when the students’ growth is signified and celebrated. Together, farmers and educators sustain our bodies, our minds, our spirits.

With thanks,

Dr. Clarence R. Wyatt President

CAMPAIGN UPDATE

With goal in sight, your gifts are already hard at work

A

s our hearts and minds turn toward the holiday season, we are grateful for the thousands of alumni and friends who continue to support Monmouth College. We don’t have to look far to see how that support has impacted Monmouth and our students. Just talk to any number of Kieft Summer Research Scholars, or to recipients of the Wiener Scholarship or Frattinger Scholarship, or drive by the Everett Farm.

There are countless other examples, but one thing each of these has in common is that their impact was made possible through a deferred gift to Monmouth.

Currently, the Light This Candle campaign stands at $67.7 million, 90% of our $75 million goal. This goal is composed of current cash gifts and deferred planned gifts to the College. We are pleased to have great success in both categories, even amid a global pandemic.

Our alumni and friends continue to keep their sights on Monmouth, supporting us as we provide a transformative educational experience for our students.

However, by adding significantly to the College’s register of deferred and planned gifts now, we will help guarantee a strong Monmouth for future generations of Scots.

We look forward to continuing this good work for the College. As we move through our next iteration of strategic planning for Monmouth, it is inspiring to see how we can position ourselves to act now while we also build resources for the long run. Whether it is through a bequest, a charitable gift annuity, retirement assets, or yes, even farmland, planning for the future can ensure both your legacy and our future.

Our goal is within reach. There is great opportunity ahead. I invite you to join us.

HEALTH SCIENCE JOINS CURRICULUM

R

esponding to a growing demand for leaders in the health professions, Monmouth College will begin a major in health science and human movement.

The interdisciplinary bachelor of science degree—which will start in fall 2022—will prepare students for careers in health professions such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic medicine and athletic training.

Drawing on courses in biology, chemistry and kinesiology, the health science and human movement major will also appeal to students who plan to attend medical and physician assistant school.

“Most health professions now require at least a master’s degree that builds upon a student’s undergraduate coursework in health and natural sciences,” said chemistry professor Laura Moore, one of three

Monmouth faculty members who collaborated in creating the major. “Monmouth’s health science and human movement major will provide excellent preparation for students who want to become a health professional.”

President Clarence R. Wyatt said he is excited at the creation of the College’s new major because it “fits the best traditions of the liberal arts and sciences in several ways.”

“First, Monmouth College exists to

serve society, and this new program has identified and will serve a vitally important need, particularly in our region,” Wyatt said. “Second, the students who complete this program will do so within the broader context of knowledge and experience of the Monmouth College education, empowering them to be leaders in their professional and community lives.

Finally, this new program will provide outstanding preparation in an area of great and growing interest to our students.”

Monmouth’s health science and human movement is built on three of the College’s strengths, according to kinesiology instructor Jennifer Braun.

“Students will have a rich academic experience in which they will conduct research and work closely with faculty,” said Braun, who teamed with Moore and department colleague Sean Schumm in developing the major. “It’s a unique program because it combines the study of biology and chemistry with kinesiology.

And the major will tap into Monmouth’s strong network of alumni and friends, giving students numerous opportunities for mentorships, internships and shadowing experiences.”

Monmouth’s new major will be distinguished by its inclusion of the study of human movement.

“Students will receive a rich background in natural sciences that will be complemented with a comprehensive study of human movement and exercise physiology,” said Schumm, a professor of kinesiology.

“Our students will graduate with a broad and deep background in natural sciences with applied knowledge of how it relates to human movement, which will serve them better when they get to professional school and into their careers.

“Many of our students will go on to work

with an aging population as physical and occupational therapists, so the study of human movement will give our students more tools when working with future clients and patients.”

The program will be housed in the College’s Center for Science and Business, which features fully equipped laboratories that provide students hands-on experiences and research opportunities. In addition to faculty from the laboratory sciences of biology and chemistry, the program will include faculty with areas of expertise and professional experience in exercise physiology, human movement, nutrition, dietetics and muscle biology.

Moore said the numerous research opportunities available to students in the program will give a “powerful added depth to this major.”

“It’s a unique program because it combines the study of biology and chemistry with kinesiology.” —Jennifer Braun “It is not common for students who go on to physical therapy or occupational therapy school to have had research experiences throughout their undergraduate careers,” said Moore. “The research experiences our students will have at Monmouth will give them an added benefit when they attend professional school, and it also will open students to the option of

going on to graduate programs in areas such as exercise physiology.”

Combined with the broad liberal arts education that all Monmouth students receive, Schumm said the health science and human movement program will also position the College’s graduates to be leaders in their profession.

“We want to help foster new leaders and innovators in these professions,” Schumm said. “We want our students to aspire to become the best professionals, and we want them to become leaders and innovators in their fields as well.”

Wyatt said he is grateful to the three professors who developed the new major.

“Professors Moore, Braun and Schumm have provided a model for continuing evolution and innovation of our curricular experience,” said Wyatt.

IT ALL BEGAN IN CHAPEL New science scholarship inspired

by Flanders’ Monmouth experience

By Barry McNamara

Nancy Forsyth Flanders ’54 owes a debt of gratitude to her Monmouth College classmate Mary Fleschner Knobeloch. She was the student who “graciously” gave up her seat so that Forsyth could sit next to classmate Tom Flanders during daily chapel service, where students were Nancy Forsyth Flanders and her late husband, Tom. seated alphabetically.

The couple married a few months after Nancy graduated. Now, seven decades later, Nancy is paying off another debt of gratitude through a deferred gift, as she’s named the College a beneficiary of her IRA. It’s a gift of which she knows her late husband of 63 years would approve.

“Tom and I started a trust in 2000,” said Nancy, who lives in Whitewater, Wis. “I decided over the last few years that I wanted to make a gift to Monmouth College. I know Tom would want that, too.”

Nancy was happy that the timing of her $500,000 gift lined up with the College’s Light This Candle capital campaign, which has a goal of raising a minimum of $75 million by Dec. 31, 2022.

“I wanted my gift to go toward scholarships,” she said, which is one of the four “candles” of the campaign, which recently topped $67 million with more than a year of fundraising to go.

Nancy’s gift has established a scholarship in her and her husband’s name for students majoring in science (biology, chemistry or biochemistry). Scholarships are important to her, she said, because they helped make her Monmouth experience possible.

“I started out with a $1,000 academic scholarship,” she said. “My father died in August before the start of my sophomore year, and I really appreciated that I could get other scholarships to stay in school.”

A strong student in the sciences, Nancy also secured one of the highest-paying campus positions for a student, working as a lab assistant.

She graduated with a degree in biology. Tom left Monmouth midway through his junior year to join the Naval Aviation Cadet program, which led to him serving as a Marine Corps pilot.

The couple returned to Monmouth a few years later so Tom could finish his physics degree, with Nancy taking a job at a hospital in Galesburg. She later worked as an office administrator for Edward Jones, while Tom was employed as an engineer in the food industry, including many years with the former Beatrice Food Co. “I met Tom at a mixer,” Nancy recalled. “Then in chapel, there was one person sitting between us, because I was Forsyth and he was Flanders.

She graciously gave up her seat so that I could sit next to him every day.

He was my college sweetheart.”

The Rev. Monica Corsaro

The Rev. Brandon Ouellette

Corsaro, Oullette share interim chaplain duties The Rev. Monica Corsaro, Monmouth’s new interim chaplain of community engagement, is grateful for a word that’s not in her job title.

“They often use the word ‘director’ in the job titles of people in positions like mine, but we don’t direct, we ‘companion,’” said Corsaro. “And that ‘companion’ piece is very important. I’m a super-extrovert, so this (pandemic) has been tough.”

In her new position, Corsaro will team in the Chaplain’s Office with another recent hire, the Rev. Brandon Ouellette ’14, who is serving as interim chaplain this fall. One of Corsaro’s first orders of business was to meet with Ouellette “to figure out together our roles and communicate that we have each other’s backs.”

Corsaro has spent most of her adult life in Washington state, but she was raised not far from Monmouth in Geneseo. She came home to western Illinois to serve three years as the director of spiritual life at Knox College.

Corsaro has also served students on the campuses of the Intercollegiate School of Nursing in Spokane, the University of Washington and the Colorado School of Mines, the latter while she was in seminary at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver.

Corsaro’s college experience started at Illinois State University, where she studied political science. After receiving her master of divinity degree from Iliff, she earned a doctoral degree from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. Ouellette, who continues to serve as pastor of nearby Faith United Presbyterian Church, was mentored as a student by former Monmouth dean of the chapel the Rev. Dr. Teri Ott and her husband, current professor of religious studies Dan Ott. That experience led him to embrace the theology of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and attend Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary “Just as I was graduating seminary, I was looking out for jobs, hoping that we could come back to this community,” he said. “The job for Faith was posted, and I got a call from the committee that was looking for a pastor, asking if I’d be interested. I did an interview, and whatever you want to call it—if it’s divine intervention or the stars aligned—it was kind of amazing how it all worked out.”

Coffee with the Ketchums Alumni couple begins entrepreneurial venture According to its mission statement, Monmouth College empowers its graduates to “pursue successful careers and shape their communities.”

Young alumni Ben ’16 and Jessica Irons Ketchum ’17 are living that ideal in Galesburg, where they’ve taken ownership of the city’s iconic Innkeeper’s Coffee shop.

For Jessica, it’s a coming home of sorts. Originally from nearby Abingdon, she worked at Innkeeper’s, first as a regular employee during her high school years and then occasionally during college.

Married in 2020, the couple was living and working in Ben’s hometown of Springfield, Ill., when they got word that Innkeeper’s successful ownership team of Mike Bond and Johan Ewalt was looking to sell the business. The two men operated Innkeeper’s nearly a quarter-century, from 1998 until this year.

“Mike knew I was interested, but he told me I already had a good retirement plan through my work,” said Jessica, a cum laude graduate who started in insurance at Horace Mann before taking a position with the State of Illinois. “But after Ben and I talked, we knew we were going to do it.”

The Ketchums officially took over the business Aug. 1.

A business major, Jessica’s entrepreneurial spirit was sparked by her parents, who operate a business in Galesburg. It was fueled by Julie Rothbardt, who owned two businesses while she

A wellness administration major, Ben went to work in an emergency room as an ER tech, which he said helped him deal with high-stress situations and learn to think on his feet.

PARTNERS IN ART

—Barry McNamara Monmouth College art majors Kendall Thompson ’17 and Rebecca Quick ’21 spent the summer creating a mural on the outside wall of Tin Cup, a coffee shop on Monmouth’s South Main Street. The massive painting, which celebrates Monmouth’s colorful history, was executed through the artist-inresidency program of Monmouth’s Buchanan Center for the Arts, where Kristyne Gilbert ’90 is its executive director.

“I think it’s a wonderful combination of Monmouth College, the Buchanan Center for the Arts and the community coming together,” said Gilbert. “That’s what it takes—an entire community coming together, whether that’s building a school or building infrastructure or improving our retail and economic future. It takes a team.”

The talented pair was chosen from a select pool of applicants in a nationwide search.

PHILANTHROPY

TRUSTEE PROVIDES ENDOWMENT FOR STUDENT AND FACULTY SUPPORT A $1 MILLION COMMITMENT from a Monmouth College trustee will benefit both the students and faculty of the liberal arts college by providing funds to develop young faculty and support student tutors.

Mark Taylor ’78

Trustee Mark Taylor ’78 of Houston made his alma mater the beneficiary of his retirement account to support three areas: an endowment for junior faculty development; an endowment for student support services; and an unrestricted amount to support the College’s greatest needs.

An associate general counsel for Citigroup Energy in Houston, Taylor has been a member of the College’s Board of Trustees since 2001, and he chairs its Academic Affairs Committee.

“In my role as chair, I’ve watched the progress that faculty make during their careers, particularly during those early important years,” said Taylor. “I’m aware of the fact that people don’t necessarily arrive at Monmouth as full-fledged, established professors and experts in their field. They need to develop themselves, and there’s often not a lot of money for that development just floating around.”

A young professor who developed during Taylor’s time as a student was the late Richard “Doc” Kieft, a chemist who joined the College in 1975 and went on to become a beloved faculty member during his 31-year career at Monmouth. A chemistry major, Taylor helped interview Kieft when he was hired.

“He was always there, always around,” said Taylor. “I didn’t have him for a class, but he became the faculty adviser of my fraternity, ZBT (Zeta Beta Tau). He was a great friend of mine until the day he died.”

Taylor said that faculty members such as Kieft gave him an experience he believes he wouldn’t have had at a larger school.

“I loved the fact that the faculty got to know you,” he said. “You couldn’t not show up for class. In some of my upper-level courses, there were just three or four students. … I loved the individual attention that students got from faculty.”

As Taylor moved through Monmouth, he realized he might not want to become a chemist, so he added a major in government to prepare for law school, which he completed at the University of Michigan.

The institution continues to survive and thrive throughout the years because of gifts from people who are able to make them, and I’m happy to do my part.”

MONMOUTH COLLEGE MAGAZINE

“After I’d only been in law school a short time, I could tell it would’ve been a completely different and suboptimal experience if I’d gone to a larger school for my undergraduate degree,” he said. “At Michigan, I was a TA (teaching assistant) in the chemistry department, since I had a degree in chemistry, and they were short.

The undergraduates could talk to me, but they couldn’t talk to their professors. But at Monmouth, you’d say ‘hello’ to professors as you passed on the sidewalk.”

Monmouth also stood out to Taylor for its many involvement opportunities, and he capitalized on them.

In addition to being in ZBT, he was on the staff of the student newspaper, was the parliamentarian for student government, worked on theatre lighting, sang in the chorus and played in the bagpipe band.

The endowment for student support services will benefit students in several ways, including providing extra funds for those who serve as tutors.

“When I was a student, one of the things that helped me was being compensated for some of the things I did, like the theatre work,” he said. “That extra money came in handy. But you can only pay students if there’s money there to pay them, and this fund will help with that.”

Taylor said that it’s the people who make Monmouth the college it is today. But just as the faculty has completely changed since he was a student in the 1970s, he said the College will change again in a few decades.

“The people who work at Monmouth make a great impact on each other and on the students, yet those people come and go,” he said. “The institution continues to survive and thrive throughout the years because of gifts from people who are able to make them, and I’m happy to do my part.”

He’s especially happy because of the endowed nature of his gift.

“The Light This Candle campaign has a strong focus on endowment,” he said. “It’s not one gift, and it’s gone.

These gifts will continue to give back to the school. I’m very happy to give in a way that goes to endowed funds. … It was unbelievably easy to set up this gift, and I didn’t even have to go to an attorney to change my will. I simply made the College a beneficiary of my IRA investment fund.”

Light This Candle will significantly bolster Monmouth’s endowment while focusing specifically on four objectives, including creating more opportunities for faculty and staff support and academic innovation, which Taylor’s gift supports (the College is receiving a portion of Taylor’s gift now so that current faculty will benefit). ­—Barry McNamara

‘THE ARC HAS ASCENDED’

Scots hail return of Homecoming

By Barry McNamara

M

onmouth College Homecoming— particularly its Alumni Impact Awards —was listed by President Clarence R. Wyatt as one of his favorite annual events at the College.

Along with matriculation in August and commencement in May, Wyatt said “these three occasions form a continuum—an arc—that moves through our lives.” The Monmouth community celebrated its 2021 Homecoming Oct. 22-24.

“At the Alumni Impact Awards, we recognize and celebrate how that arc has ascended. … We recognize how Monmouth College changes not only the arcs of the lives we celebrate here, but of all those who are part of the Monmouth College community,” he said at the ceremony, which was held in the Huff Athletic Center. “At this ceremony, we also celebrate how these lives change the arc of so many others. That is the deep and enduring mission of Monmouth College.”

Among those celebrated for changing the arcs of others’ lives was Illinois State Sen. Mattie Hunter ’76, who was inducted into the Hall of Achievement, the highest honor Monmouth bestows upon its graduates.

A Democratic senator from Chicago’s 3rd District for the past two decades, Hunter is now fourth in seniority in the Senate.

“My whole political career started right here on campus,” she said.

Another of the weekend’s honorees, Greek Life Hall of Fame inductee Gena Corbin Alcorn ’88, recalled that at the beginning of her arc in 1984, she was a first-generation college student. Her experience in Kappa Kappa Gamma, which grew to include leadership roles, helped her arc ascend.

Alcorn became emotional while discussing the confidence she found in herself at Monmouth and particularly through her Kappa involvement.

Today, Alcorn is the College’s director of development and legacy giving and remains active as an adviser for the College’s Alpha Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Also inducted into the Greek Life Hall of Fame were Jeff Bakker ’90, Mike Danner ’91 and the late Louise Lauder Roos ’49.

The M Club Hall of Fame induction ceremony opened with the unveiling of a plaque memorializing the late Tom Burek, the Fighting Scots swim coach who died last year of complications caused by COVID-19.

“I miss him on a daily basis,” said an emotional Roger Haynes ’82, director of athletics. “I miss his straightforward

leadership and his mentoring of our young coaches. I miss his brilliant mind and talking with him about the similarities between training track kids and swim kids.”

The three inductees were national pole vault champion Peter Sprecher ’08, championship-winning coach Kathy Wagoner and All-American linebacker Justin Zigler ’06.

Sprecher said that track and field is often viewed as an individual sport, but Monmouth changed his perspective. “I learned that track can be a team sport,” said Sprecher. “Coach Haynes brought us all together as a team.”

Jon ’75 and Barbara Dahl look on as a ribbon is cut dedicating the labyrinth they donated behind Wallace Hall.

That team aspect was also celebrated on the academic side by chemistry professor Laura Moore, who received the College’s Hatch Award for Distinguished Teaching during the Alumni Impact Awards ceremony.

“Teaching and learning at Monmouth is best done as a team effort, and I feel very fortunate to be part of this team,” said Moore, who called her College faculty position “the best and most interesting job I could ever hope to have.”

Other honorees included the other inductee into the College’s Hall of Achievement, nephrologist Dr. Frederick Kaskel ’67. Kaskel’s classmate, Wendell Shauman, received the Distinguished Alumnus Award.

NFL assistant coach Alex Tanney ’11 was named the Distinguished Young Alumnus; College editor and historian Jeff Rankin received the Distinguished Service Award; and the Sondgeroth family accepted the Family of the Year honor.

Zorn Stadium was the site of the Spirit Shout, where Mason Sanford ’22 was crowned Homecoming King and Alex Chamberlin ’23 was crowned Homecoming Queen.

Also during the weekend, Monmouth College’s new labyrinth— which is located behind Wallace Hall—was formally dedicated. The labyrinth was made possible by a gift from Jon Dahl ’75 and his wife, Barbara.

The labyrinth “will provide a safe space for others to meditate, self-reflect, and reduce stress and perhaps help guide many along their spiritual journeys,” Lina Jursa ’24 said at the ceremony.

It was an exciting weekend for sports fans, who came out in droves for tailgating in the parking lot just west of the football stadium, before watching the Scots cruise to a football victory over Cornell. The Scots were also successful on the volleyball court, sweeping two volleyball matches, while women’s soccer battled to a tie.

A COMMENCEMENT LIKE NO OTHER For Class of ’20, Homecoming ’21 brought much-needed closure

There’s never been a Commencement ceremony quite like it.

Members of Monmouth College’s Class of 2020 can say that not once, but twice.

In May of 2020, the milestone day of their Monmouth experience was celebrated by the College. But it did not happen in person because it took place in the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, a virtual ceremony recognized the class.

One of the videotaped speakers that day was Hadley Smithhisler, the College’s 2019 Student Laureate of the Lincoln Academy of Illinois, who told her classmates, “We overcame quite a bit to earn this degree.”

As it turned out, Smithhisler and her classmates would have to overcome a few more hurdles to walk across a Monmouth stage and be recognized in person.

A live Commencement ceremony planned for September 2020 was canceled because of a resurgence in the pandemic, and the planned outdoor ceremony for Homecoming 2021 was moved inside because of rain.

“In the end, there is no substitute for the real thing,” said President Clarence R. Wyatt in his opening remarks to the Class of 2020, who gathered instead in the Huff Athletic Center field house. “The weather outside can do nothing to dampen the joy of this day.”

A total of 59 members of the 194-member class participated in the 40-minute ceremony, which had the time-honored traditions of bagpipes and a choral rendition of the College hymn.

Many class members wore caps and gowns; some didn’t. All wore masks, a reminder that the circumstances from early 2020—when they weren’t allowed to return to campus after spring break—were still very much a part of our lives.

“We technically graduated, but it never really felt like ‘This is all over,’” said Terreia Walker.

“It’s great to finally have some closure,” said Emili Smucker, a classics major who had family members drive eight hours from Ohio to attend the event. “It felt like my time here wasn’t really over.”

“Absolutely wonderful, fantastic,” said Tammy Crothers, whose son Brock Crothers participated in the ceremony. “I’m so glad that they recognized this class. They’ve been through so much.

It’s a testament to what kind of school Monmouth College is that they put on this ceremony for the class.”

“All the emotions came back,” Brock Crothers said. “Coming back home brought back a lot of memories.” ­—Barry McNamara

Monmouth’s living agricultural heritage Received as estate gifts, farms produce ongoing revenues for College

By Barry McNamara

n late October, staff members from Monmouth College and Monmouth’s Midwest Bank watched as some of the last corn was harvested at the Vance Farm, one of four local farms that have been left as estate gifts to the College.

As a combine driven by Jared Clark—the fourth generation of Clarks to farm that acreage near the rural community of Rozetta, about 10 miles west of campus—rolled by on a mild, sunny morning, his father, Brian Clark, talked about the weather during the growing season and about yields, which this year favored soybeans over corn.

“Many other charitable organizations will accept gifts of farmland, but they’ll sell it; Monmouth College keeps all gifts of farmland.”

MONMOUTH COLLEGE MAGAZINE

Dean Clark ’63 reminisces about his family’s multigenerational experience in farming the land that today constitutes Monmouth College’s Vance Farm.

More Monmouth College farms Donated by Len G. Everett and received through his estate in 1988. A Kirkwood resident, Everett was a professional artist with studios in New York City. At the time of his death in 1984, Everett was president of the Allied Artists of America Inc. Monmouth College, which owns several of Everett’s paintings, honored him by naming the art galleries in Hewes Library in his honor.

At age 87, Jerry Clark remains active in the corn harvest at Vance Farm.

way Monmouth College handles the gift.

“Many other charitable organizations will accept gifts of farmland, but they sell it,” she said. “Monmouth College keeps all gifts of farmland. They become part of our investment portfolio, which helps us diversify, especially when markets are volatile. For people to give something of such meaning to them, it means a lot that we keep the family farm intact.”

Alcorn speaks from experience when she discusses the emotions and attachment that go into farming a piece of land.

“When I tell donors that I understand how impactful a gift of farm ground is for the College, I’m sincere,” she said. “I grew up on a small family farm, and I know how hard farm families work to keep their ground producing crops each year. Those farms feed families, and they are oftentimes a legacy for generations of families. So when a donor decides to give a farm to the College, it’s with an overwhelming feeling of pride and gratitude that we accept such a gift. I’m always open to talking to alumni and friends of the College about gifts of farmland.”

Everett Farm 240 acres Kirkwood, Ill.

Lanphere Farm 110 acres

Defenbaugh Farm 60 acres Kirkwood, Ill.

Capron Farm 80 acres Ponemah, Ill.

Lanphere Farm was received as an estate gift in 1949. The donor, Albert C. Lanphere of Kirkwood, Ill., was an early graduate of the Monmouth College Conservatory of Music.

Later a music teacher in Boise, Idaho, he bequeathed all of his Idaho property to the Boise High School Band, and his Illinois property to Monmouth College.

The adjoining 60 acres belonged to the late Ray Defenbaugh and his wife, Alice.

Monmouth College exchanged part of its Everett farm properties with the Defenbaughs to expand the Lanphere acreage.

Donated by Keith B. and Eleanor F. Capron in 1988.

Capron was the son of Millie Billings Capron. Through this gift, Monmouth College was able to apply to the National Endowment for the Humanities and receive funding to establish the Minnie Billings Capron Professor of Classical Studies. All of the monies under that grant is restricted to the use and benefit of the Department of Classical Studies.

From stewardship gifts to special projects, Robeson is committed to philanthropy Inside an issue with a cover story featuring Monmouth College’s ties to local farmland, it seems only fitting that one of the featured donors is Jeanne Gittings Robeson ’60.

Robeson not only assists her alma mater with a recurring gift, but she’s taken the opportunity to fund special projects, including one with a direct tie to agriculture.

“I like giving while I’m still alive,” she said. “I gave money to the new Pi Phi house, and I was able to see it built and have a room named in my honor.

I’ve also given to establish the Wiswell-Robeson Lecture, which features individuals who can speak to the importance of Jeanne Gittings Robeson agriculture, a topic very near and dear to my heart.”

This fall’s Wiswell-Robeson Lecture was presented by U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, a Democrat from nearby Moline who serves the 17th Congressional District in Illinois.

Robeson still manages two farms—a property outside Cameron that “has been in our family since the year Monmouth College was founded, 1853,” and land west of Monmouth farmed by her late husband, Don Robeson ’54.

Although Robeson grew up in the country, she attended Galesburg High School. Technically, that made Knox her “hometown” college, but she originally attended neither there nor Monmouth. Instead, she and her twin sister went to Iowa State University.

“After a year, I transferred to Monmouth, and I loved it,” she said. “I was a history major, and I had Dr. (Garvin) Davenport and Dr. (Douglas) Spitz, two marvelous professors. I also enjoyed my time as a Pi Phi. I’m still very active in my alumni chapter in Arizona,” where she winters for 3½ months every year.

Like farming, being in Pi Phi is a family tradition, as Robeson is part of four generations in her family to be a member of the women’s fraternity, which was founded at Monmouth in 1867.

Helping minority students succeed When asked why he supports his alma mater, Dr. Harvey Echols ’81 referenced a quotation by Barack Obama about people who claim to be “self-made.” He argues, as Obama did, that’s simply not the case.

“If people drive to your business, they got there on a road that you didn’t build in a car that you didn’t build,” Echols paraphrased.

Using that same logic, he said, “It’s disingenuous for me to say that I got through Monmouth College by myself. For example, the people before me made my classrooms and equipment in H-T (Haldeman-Thiessen SciDr. Harvey Echols ence Center) possible.”

Now, Echols is in a position to make things possible for the generations of students behind him. One way he hopes to do that is through a series of gifts he’s making to his alma mater. His sister, Chicago attorney Helena Echols-Carlson ’86, who’s married to 1988 alumnus Leonard Carlson, is also involved.

“We’ve started the Echols Family Prize,” he said. “My sister is giving also, so it’s a family thing.”

The purpose of the prize is to provide financial support for African-American students or other traditionally underrepresented minority students.

“I was a minority student, an African American, and I’m proud of that,” said Echols, who recently joined the College’s Board of Trustees. “I want to give toward helping people of color succeed at Monmouth. I won’t say people of color are in more need, but I will say they’re in great need. I want to give to help students enjoy the same benefits that I had.”

Echols said his Monmouth experience went beyond learning his way around a laboratory or a textbook.

“Two or three years before I started medical school, they changed their approach,” said Echols, who graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. “Before, they were looking for students who got straight A’s. But over time, they realized those types of people might be lacking in the communication skills necessary to be good doctors. They said, ‘We need doctors who can talk to people.’”

People, in other words, who were bright enough to withstand the rigors of medical school, but could also thrive in what Echols called “real-person” situations.

“At Monmouth, I received the academic training I needed, but I also developed the interpersonal skills I needed,” he said. “If I don’t give back, that makes me the ultimate consumer, but not a producer. I don’t want my tombstone to say, ‘Here lies Harvey Echols, the ultimate consumer.’ So that’s why I give.”

Echols recently moved to Plano, Texas, where he is the pharmacy medical director for Oscar Health, a national insurance company.

Giving back in gratitude for transformative experiences Why does Juan Mitchell ’90 donate to Monmouth College?

The short answer is that he had the complete Monmouth experience, from receiving an outstanding education, to enjoying success in athletics, to meeting the love of his life.

“I’m grateful to be able to give back to the organization that helped me get where I am today,” said Mitchell, who has been in the investment business since 1994. He’s in his 10th year with T. Rowe Price, where he serves as a vice president, helping to establish, maintain and grow key relationships within registered investment Juan and Vicki Martin Mitchell advisers and regional bank channels in the Midwest.

“God puts people in your path to shape your direction,” said Mitchell. “For me, it really did start at Monmouth College. Sports had the biggest impact on my experience. I look at the people who were huge influences on me. At the top of the list is (his Fighting Scots basketball coach) Terry Glasgow.”

The two shared a hometown connection, as both were products of Keokuk (Iowa) High School.

“He knew my mother, my aunts, my uncles,” said Mitchell. “He’d always had his eye on me. It made going to Monmouth feel like it was family. I felt ‘TG’ truly had my best interests in mind. I still love him to death. He really helped shape me and was sort of a father figure for me.”

Mitchell was also shaped by his ROTC experience at Monmouth, which led to a four-year stint in the Army, where he attained the rank of captain.

“That was crucial,” he said of his military commitment. “It helped me pay for my education. I left school debt-free.”

In the classroom, “The broad education I received was top-notch,” said Mitchell, who majored in business and minored in computer science. He went on to earn a master’s degree in business from Central Michigan University.

In particular, Mitchell remembers his academic adviser, the late education professor Frank Sorensen, whom he kept for four years even though he didn’t study in that field, and Dean of Student Life Jackie Condon, whom he came to know well while serving as an RA for three years.

“Monmouth College holds a dear place in my life,” said Mitchell, and not only for the lessons learned in the classroom, on the basketball court and in the ROTC program. He first saw Vicki Martin ’88 walking down the steps of Winbigler Hall, and now the couple has been married for 31 years and has “two beautiful young men” in college.

An M Club Hall of Fame inductee for his success on the hardwood, Mitchell said he still laces up the sneakers for competition. As a Fighting Scot, he scored 1,277 points to rank sixth on the all-time list. In back-to-back seasons, Monmouth won 20 games, which remains the single-season record for victories. The Scots captured Midwest Conference titles in Mitchell’s sophomore and senior seasons, and Mitchell made the All-MWC team each of his final three years.

“The past two years, I’ve given directly to the Fighting Scots Society, and I’m going to continue doing that going forward,” he said.

Honoring influential faculty through annual giving Silvia Fabela believes in the way that Monmouth College taught her to think.

That’s why the 2007 graduate, who studied political science, psychology and Spanish, is happy to donate to her alma mater.

“Giving to the College is important to me because it can help open some of the same doors for students that Monmouth opened for me,” said Fabela, who was raised in the Chicago suburb of Glendale Heights.

Fabela has worked in Washington, D.C., the last five Fabela years for Local Progress, a movement of local elected officials advancing a racial and economic justice agenda through all levels of local government.

“In my work, I talk about my time at Monmouth a lot,” she said. “I’m one of the few people who have lived in a rural part of the country. At Monmouth, I got to meet people who were so different than me—people who had grown up on a farm, people who listened to country music—I’m still trying to adjust to that one, by the way. But I can speak to the impact of a company like Maytag leaving Galesburg, or of the consolidation of schools in Monmouth and Roseville. That’s always stuck with me.”

As Fabela gained what she called a “well-rounded education” at Monmouth, she made connections across the disciplines she studied.

“At Monmouth, I was able to combine everything I was thinking about,” she said. “And that type of thinking allows me in my work to think holistically about the problems the U.S. is facing.”

Supporting holistic thinking is important to Fabela, who has donated to a scholarship fund named for one of her Monmouth political science professors, the late Ira Smolensky.

“I can think about a system, I can think about policy, I can think about the impact on human beings,” she said. “Donating to Monmouth College contributes to that holistic way of thinking.”

Fabela’s Monmouth success story very nearly didn’t happen, she said.

“I had my heart set on the University of Illinois, but (now-retired admission representative) Peter Pitts is a very compelling recruiter. He invited me to visit, and as soon as I saw the campus, I thought it was so adorably charming. Then I came back for a scholarship day. Keep in mind that they had only met me once.

But they recognized me and called me by name. That really spoke to me. I knew I’d get the attention I really needed at Monmouth.”

In the political science department, that attention came from Smolensky, as well as from Robin Johnson and Farhat Haq. Fabela recalled campaigning doorto-door for one of Johnson’s classes, the first of the many campaigns in which she’s since participated. She called Haq “an incredible mentor” and praised the help she received from her on her senior project on the Latino voting block.

Fabela is still closely associated with Latinos in the work she does for Local Progress.

“We challenge elected officials to come up with creative solutions for their communities,” she said. “We also want to make sure they’re bringing in historically underrepresented communities, such as Blacks and Latinos,” helping the movement fulfill its goal of fighting “to reshape what is possible in our localities all across the country.”

Nick Tucker 429 Linden Ave. Apt. 1-W Wilmette, IL 60091 njtuckersr@gmail.com

If my math is correct, many of us are in the Seventies Club now, or will be soon, and staying healthy takes a little more time. But it’s worth it in the long run for you and your loved ones. For me, I am still working fulltime from home as a career coach. I was very busy last year during the pandemic.

It’s slowed down a little, which is typical in outplacement in the second and third quarters. The pandemic has not been a great disruption for me because I’ve been working from home since 1997.

Our class continues to volunteer to help ensure the future of Monmouth College.

Chris Pio ’84 has written a definitive book on college team nicknames.

Gryphons, Gorloks & Gusties: A History of NCAA Division III Nicknames and Mascots is available at Amazon.com as a paperback or Kindle edition.

The 289-page volume contains stories of 450 Division III colleges and universities—439 active schools and 11 former institutions. The history, evolution and relevant meaning of the nickname and a description of the team mascot are recorded, along with over 70 color photos showcasing the diversity of the current mascots.

“I wrote this book explicitly for an NCAA Division III audience,” said Pio. “It is my hope that coaches, sports information directors, athletic directors, staff members, student-athletes, family members and school alumni receive it well and take pride in the special place that Division III athletics holds within our lives. I hope that everyone enjoys reading it as much as I did writing it.”

Pio, who formerly served as Monmouth College’s sports information director, said books on Division II and Division I mascots will be next on his agenda.

The Rev. Dr. Robert Meneilly ’45 In 1965, when the Rev. Robert Meneilly delivered several sermons calling for the integration of largely white suburbs around Kansas City, Kan., it made front-page news and raised a firestorm of controversy. When an outraged resident told him over the phone, “I hope you go to hell,” Meneilly responded, “I wasn’t planning on it, but if I do, perhaps we can have lunch together.”

The remark was typical of Meneilly’s quiet yet passionate lifelong campaign for social justice that caused thousands of devoted Christians to flock to his Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village, Kan., during the 46 years that he served as its senior pastor. When he died at age 96 on July 20, 2021, the church that he had founded with just 282 charter members had Meneilly in 2017.

(Image courtesy of Village Church) grown to become the second largest Presbyterian congregation in the nation, at one time boasting more than 7,700 members.

Meneilly and his future wife had initially planned to go to China as missionaries after her graduation from Monmouth, but as they were getting their papers in order, the Communist Revolution closed the country to Christian ministries.

A native of suburban Pittsburgh, Meneilley finished a fast-track college and seminary career, graduating from Monmouth at age 20 (majoring in philosophy, psychology and biology) and from Pittsburgh Xenia Theological Seminary at age 22. While at Monmouth, Meneilly had become engaged to Shirley Dunlap ’47, also from the Pittsburgh area, and the couple was married following her graduation.

Instead of China, the United Presbyterian Board of American Missions invited the Meneillys to start a congregation in one of three communities: North Hollywood, Calif.; suburban Philadelphia; or Prairie Village, Kan. After visiting Prairie Village, the Meneillys decided it was the ideal place to raise their family.

The first services were held in 1949, and within nine months a campaign to expand the facilities had begun. Two years later, membership skyrocketed to 600, with 700 children attending weekly Sunday school. By 1954, membership had grown to 1,600, and it was estimated that 4,000 persons visited the church each week for religious services or activities.

Known affectionately as “Dr. Bob” (he received an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Monmouth in 1955), Meneilly supervised not only construction of the original church, but also seven subsequent additions, as membership soared. Eventually there were 50 full-time and 50 part-time staff, as well as six associate ministers.

One of the Presbyterian Church’s wealthiest congregations, with an annual budget of nearly $4 million, it funneled a remarkable 30 percent of its budget into mission projects, including 63 charities in the Kansas City area. It is estimated that during his tenure, Meneilly touched 32,000 people who called Village Church their spiritual home.

Meneilly received the Monmouth College Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1983 and was inducted into its Hall of Achievement in 1994. Shirley Meneilly died in 2014.

THE LAST WORD

WHY AGRICULTURE NEEDS HIGHER ED

A

s a well-established liberal arts institution, Monmouth College has long been the steppingstone to the adult world for many of us. It also happens to be located in one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. The region’s soils are rich, the weather favorable, and the location benefits from having the Mississippi River nearby to give local farmers access to markets around the world. The Mississippi is literally our “highway to the world.”

Now is a perfect time for Monmouth to leverage its geographical assets and academic tradition of excellence to become a college that helps students to develop backgrounds that will open them to more opportunities in the ever-expanding agriculture industry.

Agriculture is growing, and it offers a number of diverse careers—many of which are well-paying jobs. Just as colleges are searching for new students from a shrinking pool of prospective students, the U.S. agriculture industry has a similar challenge. Its normal supply of workers has historically come from young men and, increasingly, women who grew up on farms. But that source has been declining as farmers age and farm more land per farm. The bottom line: there just aren’t as many farm families as there used to be.

Today’s agriculture is enthusiastically embracing technology.

A great deal of research is being done, and the speed at which it is moving is mind-blowing.

Some examples: • We have auto steering in our tractors and combines, for both planting a crop and harvesting them.

• We get maps that show where each hybrid is planted, and yield maps and data in our combines while we are harvesting with moisture correction to national standards.

• Soils are grid-sampled to show fertility levels, which allows computer-controlled applicators to apply only the pounds of nutrients needed. The application rates are constantly changing as the fertilizers are applied. Just enough to meet the next crops’ nutritional needs, but with the goal of minimizing any loss into the environment. Both the farmer and the environment benefit.

• To combat weeds, a machine that will only apply a herbicide when it senses a weed’s presence. Another is a concept tool that

MONMOUTH CAN FILL AN IMPORTANT NICHE IN THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY… THE DEMAND IS THERE.”

BY DR. WENDELL SHAUMAN ’67 will physically remove the weed seedlings. We have new fungicides to limit the damage due to plant pathogens that attack leaves and stalks.

Nature does respond. It has developed resistance to many herbicides, making them no longer effective. The most recent new products are biologics. While we need scientists developing new chemistry or organisms, Mother Nature continues to adapt to survive. Every organism’s goal is to survive and produce a next generation. There is a lot of truth in the old slogan: “Don’t fool with Mother Nature!” She can be an adversary or a friend, and every year is different.

There is a myriad of job opportunities to serve the industry that feeds the world. Monmouth can fill an important niche in the agriculture industry by preparing students either for graduate school in agriculture or to move directly into jobs if they have a good grasp of science. The demand is there.

The Monmouth experience of student access to faculty who are committed to helping them succeed provides an intangible benefit that large universities can’t match. Longtime Monmouth economics professor Ken McMillan framed the difference this way: Monmouth will help students who would struggle or fail at a large university develop, then go on to do graduate work successfully.

I am probably one of those students. I was an average student at Monmouth. But I was well prepared for graduate school even in an area Monmouth didn’t offer.

As agriculture prepares for its next generation of leaders, scientists, innovators and workers, there is an opportunity for Monmouth to play a role in this vital American industry.

Orion Samuelson, the iconic farm broadcaster who was the guest speaker at the 2013 dedication of the Monmouth’s Center for Science and Business, always ended his broadcasts with the statement: “If you eat, you are involved in agriculture.”

We eat very well in the United States. Thank a farmer.

The recipient of the 2021 Monmouth College Distinguished Alumnus Award, Wendell Shauman is a master farmer, an expert on plant genetics and a leader in agricultural policy.

Currently chair of the U.S. Grains Council, he has served on boards and councils for numerous agricultural organizations.
