Baxter, Batsell Barrett
No full textBatsell Barrett Baxter was a budding athlete at age 16 when his father became the Lipscomb president. A city tennis champion, Batsell Barrett also played basketball at Abilene Christian College. There he was encouraged to focus on preaching and the gospel became his life. He became speech department chair at Lipscomb in 1945, then succeeded his father as Bible department chair in 1956 and remained until his death in 1982. Described as the most-loved minister in the church, Dr. Baxter was noted for his humility, gentleness, sincerity, honesty, integrity and compassion. But those who knew him best described him fully in two words: Christ-like.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1048/thumbnail.jp
Berry, Minta Sue
No full textDr. Berry brought more than a reputation for academic brilliance to Lipscomb when she joined the faculty in 1955: she brought the unusual ability to teach both mathematics and English effectively. Focusing on instruction in English, she demanded the same excellence from herself as she did from her students, while instilling in them her love for literature and creative writing. Her quiet yet efficient manner taught patience and endurance, and her service outside the classroom further demonstrated her love for her Lord. She advanced to the rank of professor and was appointed chair of the Department of English and Director of Teacher Education in 1980. She retired in 1990.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1047/thumbnail.jp
Boyce, Eugene Fessor
No full textFessor began teaching at Lipscomb in 1937. By the time he semi-retired in 1982, he was one of Lipscomb\u27s most beloved teachers, and was recognized as the “Father of Intramural Sports” in Tennessee. Through his intramural athletics program, he touched more than 30,000 lives preparing them to be better people, Christians, teachers, parents, and friends. He coached tennis, golf, football, basketball, and baseball, chaired the Department of Health and Physical Education from 1963–68, and coached numerous tennis champions on several levels. He was an elder at Natchez Trace church of Christ for 27 years and attended there for more than 70 years until his death in 1996.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1036/thumbnail.jp
Harding, James A.
No full textCo-founder James Harding added the enthusiasm of youth to David Lipscomb\u27s wisdom of age. A graduate of Alexander Campbell\u27s Bethany College, Harding shared Lipscomb\u27s belief that the Bible should be taught as an integral part of a much broader curriculum. Known for his powerful oratory, his faith, and his trust in God\u27s providence, he was constantly sought by churches needing located preachers. He refused such request, believing his “Bible school work” to be far more effective and influential in spreading the Gospel. Indeed, the impact of his students’ Christian service and the Bible colleges and schools they have established is beyond comprehension.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1029/thumbnail.jp
Lipscomb, David
No full textDavid Lipscomb completed his education at Franklin College with more than academic preparation and a moral philosophy. He graduated with the idea that a complete education must include a deep, personal study of the Bible. His burning desire to see a Christian school established resulted in the Nashville Bible School in 1891. His farm became the campus in 1903. While he will be remembered for that achievement, his students were forever influenced by the clarity and directness of his teaching, his humility, strength of character, his acceptance of all races as equals, and a life dominated by loyalty and obedience to the Master.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1021/thumbnail.jp
Sanders, J. P.
No full textJ. P. Sanders taught at Lipscomb from 1936 to 1939, when he left to teach Bible at Pepperdine. He returned in 1942 to become academic dean, and in that role led the college to two monumental achievements: senior status in 1948, and accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1954 upon the colleges first application. His philosophy of “growing” the faculty by providing advanced education for highly capable students has remained valid through the decades. In addition to his academic role, he preached for the Hillsboro, Belmont, and Harding Place churches of Christ before returning to Pepperdine as academic dean in 1957.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1008/thumbnail.jp
Ungrading in the Music Theory Classroom: A One-Year Case Study
Get PDFIn this paper, I present a summary of and critical reflection upon an alternative assessment practice known as “ungrading” that I used during the 2023–24 academic year. My version of the practice involved providing students with feedback without grades and letting students determine their own final grades through a process of guided self-assessment. Many students’ reactions to ungrading were positive. Some reported being able to focus on learning rather than grades, and even skeptical students admitted some benefits. Ungrading benefited me in various ways as a teacher, but there were challenges as well. Some students struggled with the lack of external accountability that grades provide. I also had issues with attendance and students not submitting work. I do believe that aspects of ungrading can improve students’ attitudes toward school, their learning, and their relationships with their instructors, but there are challenges with the implementation of this idea within education as it is currently practiced in the United States
