ALUMNI REUNION WEEKEND
COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS
 From the
CHAIRMAN OF THE
BOARD of TRUSTEES
 am honored to serve as chair of DePauw’s Board of
Trustees at this important time in the University’s
history. I want to commend the previous board
chair, James B. Stewart Jr. ’73, who provided
admirable leadership, including working with
trustees, administrators and faculty members to conduct
a comprehensive review of the mission, goals and resources
of the University and develop an effective five-year strategic
plan, Securing Our Legacy. We are nearing the midpoint
of the strategic plan, and a significant amount has already R. David Hoover
been accomplished. Now is a good time to evaluate further opportuni-
ties for DePauw.
Alumni who returned to campus for Alumni Reunion Weekend in
June – as my wife, Suzanne, and I did for our 40th class reunion – saw
firsthand some of the ways in which their alma mater continues to
thrive. DePauw’s commitment to academic excellence and intellectual
engagement is bolstered by the largest-ever number of faculty members,
some of whom were featured in programs during reunion weekend.
While faculty members today use more technology to enhance teaching
and learning, they continue to devote the kind of personal attention to
the development of their students that alumni remember from their
DePauw experience.
Very notable on campus was the nearly completed construction
of the new Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts.
Alumni received a glimpse of how this outstanding facility will enhance
the performing arts at DePauw and create even more opportunities for
students not only in the School of Music and theatre courses, but also
for College of Liberal Arts students who participate in ensembles and
other activities there. The Green Center will be formally dedicated
during Old Gold Weekend Oct. 25-28, 2007.
Another major event during Old Gold Weekend will be the dedication
of the Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics, located in the DePauw Nature
Park. The institute will support an important part of the University’s
strategic plan in terms of preparing students to make a difference in the
world. The Prindle Institute will encourage the examination of ethical
issues by students, faculty members and visiting scholars from other
institutions. Activities there will support the liberal arts curriculum in
developing responsible leaders for the future. I encourage alumni to
attend Old Gold Weekend and participate in the dedication of the
Prindle Institute for Ethics as well as the Judson and Joyce Green Center
for the Performing Arts.
In addition to viewing progress on these facilities,
alumni heard a panel presentation about Strengthening
DePauw’s Greek system. I was fortunate to be a member
of the Trustees’ Greek Committee that reviewed the report
of the Greek Fact-Finding Commission, so I can personally
attest to the opportunity we have to provide a healthy and
secure learning and living environment for all DePauw
students. You can read more in this magazine about the
actions the trustees have taken to support the Greek system.
The trustees are firmly committed to keeping DePauw and
its Greek system as leaders in the national Greek community.
Progress has been made on another strategic goal by expanding the
diversity of DePauw’s student body to reflect the interconnected and
global world in which graduates will live and work. When DePauw’s
entering class arrived this fall, it included a record number of international
students. The University will continue to work to attract even more
qualified international students who will enrich the campus community
in many ways.
Perhaps the Board of Trustees’ most crucial responsibility is the
search to select DePauw’s 19th president. As you know, President Bob
Bottoms announced in April his plan to retire and become Chancellor
of the University. I want to thank Bob for his extraordinary service as
president since 1986. I know DePauw will continue to benefit from his
service as chancellor and in providing leadership for the Janet Prindle
Institute for Ethics. There is no doubt that DePauw is poised to attract
the best possible presidential candidates because Bob has so solidly
established DePauw as a leading national liberal arts university.
Because the presidential selection process is important for the entire
University community, a link – titled Presidential Search – was created
on DePauw’s Web site to inform alumni and others about the status
of the presidential search. I also encourage you to use the Web site to
share your views and advice with us as we move forward to identify the
University’s next leader.
That kind of alumni support has always been a strength of DePauw
University. The continuing devotion and support of alumni was evident
among those who attended Alumni Reunion Weekend, received updates
about the University and reconnected with classmates. Thank you for all
the ways in which you support DePauw. Together, we will build upon
DePauw’s strengths and provide even greater opportunities for future
generations of DePauw students and alumni.

Busey family endows scholarship to benefit

members of Alpha Tau Omega
DePauw and Greek traditions merge for John W. Busey ’61
DePauw University and the Greek system are
part of the family heritage of John W. Busey ’61.
An economics major at DePauw, Busey went
on to a 30-year career in banking, which included
19 years as a bank president, and he was an active
community leader. He was a broker with First
Busey Securities, Inc. for seven years prior to
retirement.
Several family members have graduated from
the University, including John’s brother, Dr.
Joseph S. Busey ’63; his cousin, John S. Moffet
’73; both of his sons, John W. Busey II ’90 and
John W. (’61) and Judy Busey
James J. Busey ’93; and John II’s wife, Maribeth
Steimle ’88. John II serves on the DePauw Alumni
Association Board of Directors.
Coming as a student from a small Illinois town to the more populous
DePauw campus, Busey fondly recalls that DePauw’s admission direc-
tor at the time, the personable John J. Wittich ’44, always recognized
him and talked with him when they crossed paths on campus. Busey
also found that joining Alpha Tau Omega fraternity provided another
welcoming family and a life-changing experience.
“Basically, the main social experience I had at DePauw was living
together with 70 other men in the fraternity. I formed lasting friend-
ships, many of which have been lifelong,” he said.
His fraternity roots spread even deeper. “My
family also has a very strong involvement with
He visited campus frequently when his sons
attended DePauw and were involved in athletics
and other activities. John II was a play-by-play
announcer for WGRE radio and sometimes trav-
eled with the basketball team for road games at
Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Ill.
The DePauw team bus would often stop at the
Busey home in Mahomet on the return trip.
When John and his wife, Judy, began to
think about estate planning, they wanted to be
sure to include DePauw and Alpha Tau Omega
in their plans. They made a major deferred com-
mitment to establish the Busey Family Endowed
Scholarship Fund, becoming life members of
the Washington C. DePauw Society. The scholarship will be awarded
to an active member of ATO who is involved in campus leadership,
demonstrates financial need and has the highest grade point average in
the first semester of each academic year.
With the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney, the Buseys found
it easy to establish a Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT). “My
wife and I decided which foundations, churches and schools to name
as our beneficiaries, and we particularly wanted to include DePauw in
that group.” John explained. “It’s a deferred gift, so the money goes to
DePauw only after we pass.
“We were able to greatly diversify our
investments, increase our income and receive

John remained engaged with DePauw,
particularly through serving on the ATO house

them as board president.

Buseys were able to purchase a second-to-die
life insurance policy to make certain that their
estate to their heirs is not diminished.
The Busey Family Endowed Scholarship
Fund also ensures that deserving ATO mem-
bers will continue to benefit from the DePauw
experience for generations to come.

and uncommon success,
graduates told
514 receive degrees at 168th commencement
The 514 graduates at DePauw’s 168th commencement on May 20 were encouraged to
pursue fulfilling lives of service to others and uncommon success.
“DePauw University provided me with a foundation for a life of service,” Karen Koning Abu-
Zayd ’63, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and
an under-secretary-general to the United Nations, told graduates and their families. “The DePauw
environment gave me a thirst for knowledge, along with a penchant to question conventional “DePauw University

victims of the crisis in the occupied Palestinian territory. Before joining UNRWA, AbuZayd
worked for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) for
19 years.

 News of the University
She began her humanitarian career in Sudan in 1981, working
with Ugandan, Chadian and Ethiopian refugees fleeing from war and
famine. She moved to Namibia in 1989 to help coordinate the return
of apartheid-era refugees, and a year later went to Sierra Leone to head
the UNHCR office in Freetown, initiating an emergency response to
settle 100,000 Liberians. From 1991-93 in UNHCR’s Geneva head-
quarters, AbuZayd directed the South African repatriation operation
and the Kenya-Somalia cross-border operation.
AbuZayd, who received a bachelor’s degree in nursing from DePauw,
related to graduates how gratifying her career has been by “putting
human rights and humanitarian principles into practice” to meet the
needs of individuals. “I recognize that each of you will follow your
own individual path. I do not expect to recruit all of you to the world
of humanitarian action, or of multilateralism,” she said. “I simply
want to share with you the deep personal satisfaction I’ve found in
working with those who are among the most vulnerable populations
in the world today.”
DePauw presented AbuZayd the McNaughton Medal for Public
Service. John McNaughton graduated from DePauw in 1942, served
in the U.S. Navy during World War II and earned a degree from the
Harvard University School of Law, where he later taught. He was as-
sistant secretary of defense for international security affairs and had
just been appointed Secretary of the Navy when he, his wife and one
son died in a tragic air crash on July 19, 1967.
Elisabeth “Bess” W. Evans, recipient of the
Walker Cup, which recognizes the senior student
judged to have contributed the most to the Uni-
versity during his or her four years at DePauw,
spoke of the uncommon opportunities she and
her classmates had as students and now have as
alumni. She recalled hearing, as a prospective stu-
dent, about the “uncommon success” of DePauw
alumni, including best-selling authors, political
leaders and others.
“But over the past four years of discussion and
Elisabeth “Bess” W. dialogue, I’ve discovered that uncommon success

doesn’t just live in Pulitzer Prizes or high-held of-
fices,” said Evans, a double major in communication and sociology.
“Uncommon success instead is found within the words that we speak,
the lining of our lives. It comes in the way we make our choices, the
way we treat others, the way we express our passions. It comes in
how we have formed our opinions in these dialogues here, but more
importantly, it now comes in how we act on these opinions.”
She challenged her fellow graduates: “We must live our uncommon

success and not just discuss it. May your uncommon success truly
change the world, or at least the world of those around you.”
The full text of her Walker Cup address is printed on page four.
Two distinguished alumni – Robert M. Steele ’69, the Nelson
Poynter Scholar for Journalism Values and senior faculty in ethics at
the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, and William F. Welch ’40,
an attorney who has practiced primarily in corporate, banking and
public utility law and is of counsel to Bingham McHale LLP – were
awarded honorary degrees.
Steele, an internationally known ethicist, noted, “DePauw has
no major in journalism, but dozens of our graduates have gone on
to exemplary careers as journalists, and I accept this honorary degree
today with great respect for them and their contributions. I hope that
some of you in the Class of 2007 become the journalists of the next
generation.” Steele received a Doctor of Journalism degree.
Welch recalled that on the day he and his classmates received
diplomas from DePauw, France fell to Germany and Hitler’s reach
was expanding. “The world has changed in many ways since 1940,
technologically for certain. And yet, in many ways it is much the same,”
he said. Referring to today’s world crises, he expressed confidence in the
graduates. “You will work it out. As a matter of fact, the whole world
depends upon you to do so.” Welch received a Doctor of Laws degree.
Two retiring faculty members, who represented 75 years of teaching
at DePauw, also were recognized: James S. Rambo, Laurel H. Turk
Professor of Modern Languages (Spanish and Portuguese), taught at
DePauw since 1966, and Carl P. Singer, professor of computer science,
taught at DePauw since 1973.

 News of the University
Walker Cup recipient’s remarks at commencement
Elisabeth “Bess” W. Evans ’07
First and foremost, allow me to extend my congratu-
lations to the Class of 2007. It truly is a great achieve-
ment to be sitting in these seats on East College lawn,
and it has been a pleasure – and very fun – getting to
know you all. In our last four years, we have had many
dynamic experiences. From long nights in the library
to long nights when we should have been in the library,
from trips around the world to trips around campus, we
have had four years filled with a lot of learning and a lot of wonderful
memories.
One thing that I think is quite unique about DePauw is the dialogue
that we engage in here. In our four years, we have begun lifelong con-
versations regarding important issues. We have discussed ethics in our
lives and in our actions regarding nature, food and Greek life. We have
talked about the embracing of different ideas and different expressions
as they pertain to art and free speech. We have expressed our views in
open forums about celebration of diversity and a lack of tolerance for
intolerance. We have debated about the covenant. We have engaged
in conversations about issues of sexual assault on and off campus. We
have expressed our views on war and peace. We have talked about many
issues. We have talked a lot.
One thing that we specifically hear and say around here a great deal
is “uncommon success,” and I have never stopped to think about what
uncommon success really means. As a prospective student, I walked
through the academic quad and heard of DePauw graduates who went
on to be CEOs, elected officials, famous authors. This was the uncom-
mon success that DePauw would afford me someday. But over the past
four years of discussion and dialogue, I have discovered that uncommon
success doesn’t just live in Pulitzer Prizes or high-held offices. Uncommon
success instead is found within the words that we speak, the lining of our
lives. It comes in the way we make our choices, the way we treat others,
the way we express our passions. It comes in how we have formed our
opinions in these dialogues; but more importantly, it now comes in how
we act on these opinions.
DePauw has given us the privilege of uncommon success, allowing
us to talk it out for the last four years. When I say privilege, I mean
just that. Sometimes I forget that although we have worked extremely
hard in order to be sitting in these chairs today, a college education is
a privilege, and a DePauw education is a great gift. In many ways, we
have acknowledged this by expressing ourselves in more than just our
words, taking advantage of the opportunity that we have been given
4
here. More than most classes, we have put our words
into action and created real change.
But now we must leave the island, whether we like
it or not. With us, among our trash-bags full of DePauw
sweatshirts, philanthropy T-shirts, books we couldn’t sell
back to Fine Print and graded midterm papers, we will
also find the opportunity and the burden of uncommon
success.
We are charged as we drive away from the square with a call to action.
After four years of talking the talk as they say, it appears it is time to walk
the walk. We formed our ideas, discussed our opinions and found our
passions. Now, we have to live these ideas, opinions and passions on a
much bigger island.
Walker Percy, a novelist, once wrote that the hardest thing in life
is to get through an ordinary Wednesday afternoon. It is what we do
with our lives on these Wednesday afternoons that is where most of our
uncommon success will live. On some of these afternoons, we will sit
on our couches, we will sit in our cubicles, we will sit in our present.
Uncommon success begs the opposite, challenging us to take what we
have gained here and give it back to the world.
Robert Greenleaf, a leadership guru, I believe explains it best. He
says, “In the end, each man builds his own solid ground to stand on
– and stands alone.” We have the tools to build our solid ground on
which we believe we want to stand, and now we must build it.
He continues to explain: If you have a dream deferred, bring it to life
by beginning to live it – no matter how discouraging the circumstances
may be. If you end up in middle age an uncreative, crusty reactionary
– the kind of person your generation complains about, it will probably
be because you chose not to allow the idealism that is so characteristic
of your present age to operate.
We leave DePauw with a mind full of ideas, a soul full of energy
– after a few days of post-graduation sleep, of course – and a world to
change. Uncommon success allows us to name what makes us different
than the average college graduate of 2007. It is a gift, but it is a challenge.
We must live our uncommon success and not just discuss it. We must
do justice to the four years of dialogue that the classrooms of Asbury, the
tables at the Hub, and the lounges in our living units have afforded us.
Congratulations to the Class of 2007, and, although I promised several
professors I wouldn’t use any clichés, may your uncommon success
change the world, or at least the world of those around you. It has been
an honor talking and living and learning with all of you. Thank you.

Trustees approve new housing standards

and Greek support
New housing standards for all living units at DePauw – both Greek
and University-owned – were approved by the University’s Board of
Trustees at its meeting on April 20. Subject to Internal Revenue Service
approval, the trustees also voted to initiate a voluntary program through
which the University will invest up to $6 million to help qualifying
living units comply with the new regulations.
President Robert G. Bottoms said, “These standards are important
because they apply to all students and will help ensure safety no matter
where a student chooses to live.”
Trustees also unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the
vitality of DePauw’s unique Greek system and its important respon-
sibilities within the University’s learning community.
“We owe a debt of gratitude to President Bottoms for his outstand-
ing leadership in the process that has rebuilt trust and bridges that
will serve us well in the future,” R. Lee Wilson ’76, chairman of the
Trustees’ Greek Committee, said.
Key elements of the initiatives approved by the trustees include:
• New housing standards: A new set of standards for Greek and
University-owned housing outlines high but reasonable levels for health
and safety (particularly fire safety) issues that will be implemented by
working closely with the newly formed Greek Life Advisory Council.
Projected cost of compliance is $6 million ($5 million for Greek units;
$1 million for DePauw-owned housing).
• Voluntary Greek support program: Subject to IRS approval, a
new program provides financial support options, which can be tailored
to the needs of individual Greek chapters that require assistance in
meeting the new standards. Possibilities include grants, loans and other
options, depending upon chapter needs and desires. Such support is
voluntary, and chapters must demonstrate financial viability or have at
least 80-percent occupancy (or a plan to achieve that level in a reason-
able amount of time) for them to be eligible to receive grants and loans.
DePauw will also accept tax-deductible gifts on behalf of Greek houses
as they raise funds for upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
• Trustees’ Greek support resolution: Trustees unanimously
adopted a support resolution stressing both the valuable role and
important responsibilities of the Greek system as members of the
University learning community. The resolution is printed below.
• Endorsement of president’s recommendations: The board
also heard and endorsed a report about the ongoing efforts designed to
improve the vitality of the Greek system, including the hiring of three
new staff members; reviewing the timing of rush and recruitment; mak-
ing the recruitment process less formal; and working with the Coalition
for a Responsible Community to curb high-risk drinking.
The trustees’ votes continued a process that began at the spring
2006 board meeting, when a Greek Fact-Finding Commission was
created. That panel – consisting of DePauw alumni, students, faculty
members and administrators – delivered a report to President Bottoms
in September 2006. President Bottoms initiated a series of campus
conversations about the Greek system, and in October, a Trustees’
Greek Committee was formed to review the fact-finding document and
make recommendations. There was further discussion at the board’s
January retreat.

Trustee support resolution for Greek system

DePauw University educates leaders who make a positive difference in the communities where they live and work.
We are first and foremost a community of students, professors, alumni and administrators dedicated to learning.
The Greek system within DePauw’s community is part of our unique heritage and is integral to our culture.
The Greek system provides housing, leadership opportunities, social activities and alumni engagement that support our learning mission.
We acknowledge these important contributions and recognize the Greek system as a valuable part of our community.
Community membership comes with significant responsibilities to support its learning mission and DePauw’s goals:
• To provide an outstanding living and learning environment
• To prepare students to make a positive difference in the world
• To cultivate alumni loyalty through lifelong engagement
We the Trustees of DePauw University reaffirm our organizational, financial and personal support for the vitality of our unique
Greek system and its important role in our university learning community.

Steve and Michelle Trulaske International Scholarship Fund
will support international studies at DePauw
Major gift will underwrite at least 30 off-campus study experiences each year
A major gift from Steven L. Trulaske ’79
and his wife, Michelle, will underwrite the
semester- or summer-long, off-campus study
experiences of at least 30 upperclass students
each year through the Steve and Michelle
Trulaske International Scholarship Fund, in
addition to supporting at least 20 first-year
students in a new DePauw-Ecuador Summer
Program.
“By making this gift, Michelle and I are
affirming our belief that DePauw’s long-term
strategic goal of internationalizing the Uni- Steven L. Trulaske
versity will produce future graduates who can contribute even more
to our global society,” Steve Trulaske, a member of DePauw’s Board of
Trustees, said. “Beyond being an investment in young people and the
University, it is a pledge to create greater understanding among students
of the world in which they will live and work, and we trust, change for
the better.”
“DePauw’s goal of becoming an increasingly international university
takes a large step forward, thanks to the generosity of Steve and Michelle
Trulaske,” President Robert G. Bottoms said. “Now, students who de-
sire to participate in these two programs will be eligible for significant
scholarship assistance. The Trulaskes are opening the doors to a world of
opportunity for DePauw students, now and for generations to come.”
Open to students who are enrolled to enter the University in the fall,
the DePauw-Ecuador Summer Program – which began this summer
– offers an intensive, five-week experience in Spanish language immer-
sion, cultural awareness and international service. Participants (primarily
first-generation students with no previous international experience) will
spend three weeks on the DePauw campus, then two weeks in Quito,
Ecuador. The program is designed to acquaint students with the dynamic
global community and the importance of dealing effectively in multi-
national environments.
“I believe the program has great potential to serve as a valuable re-
cruitment tool for the Office of Admission, as it provides an exceptional
opportunity for students to gain international exposure – and a taste
of campus life – even prior to the start of their first semester,” Stefanie
Niles, vice president for admission and financial aid, explained. “With
its strong tradition of community service opportunities and initiatives,
the University attracts those students who are drawn to serving others
and reaching out to provide assistance to those in need. The Ecuador
Summer Program is yet another way in which students can find an outlet
6
for these efforts and work to make a difference
in others’ lives.”
Niles reports that 80 admitted students ap-
plied for the program’s 20 spots in its inaugural
year, “a clear indicator that this unique experi-
ence is of great interest to young scholars.”
“The DePauw Ecuador Summer Program
allows us to expose students to two transforma-
tive arenas for personal development – service
and international study – at the very beginning
of a student’s DePauw experience,” said Robert
P. Hershberger, professor of modern languages
(Spanish), who led the first program from June 25 to Aug. 1. “With this
program, we are also immersing students in the heart of the University’s
strategic initiatives of globalization and ethics. We couldn’t ask for a better
beginning for our students and are delighted that funding this program
acknowledges the real-world value of Spanish. With DePauw’s growing
emphasis on globalization, we are excited to offer a means to allow more of
our students an opportunity to embrace an international perspective.”
The Trulaskes’ gift also will support students who wish to study in
Segovia, Spain, for a fall or spring semester, or a summer term to improve
their language skills and gain an understanding of Spain’s literature, art
and history, as well as its emerging role in the European Union. Ap-
plicants must have completed a 300-level course in Spanish.
“I believe this is one of few programs that affords students a rare
opportunity to leave the life of a typical American and experience the
life of a typical Segovian,” noted Kate Knaul, director of the Center for
International and Experiential Education. “The quality of the program
staff, the access to Segovians – both in and out of class – and the op-
portunities to truly experience the language and culture will greatly
enhance our students’ cultural and linguistic proficiency. This kind of
program will allow DePauw to graduate students who are even more
capable of living and working in multiple cultural contexts.”
DePauw plans to add other international programs in the future to
those supported by the scholarship fund.
The total of 50 additional students gaining international experiences
through the Trulaskes’ generosity brings DePauw close to its goal of
increasing the percentage of graduating seniors with an international
experience from the previous level of 60 percent to 75 percent.
DePauw continues to be among the nation’s top colleges and uni-
versities for the percentage of students who study abroad, according to
the Open Doors 2006 report.

DePauw’s Liz Bondi is NCAA Division III
Woman Athlete of the Year
National champion in tennis and basketball
Following a year in which she won an individual national championship in tennis and honors
as an all-American forward on DePauw’s national championship basketball team, senior Liz Bondi
was named the Honda Division III Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year.
The recognition was based on the results of national balloting among NCAA Division III
schools as part of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards program, now in its 31st year. Bondi
received the award at a ceremony at Columbia University in New York City on June 25.
“It’s an incredible honor to be selected as the Division III Athlete of the Year,” Bondi said. “I
was fortunate to win an individual national tennis championship and also be part of a basketball
team that won our school’s first national team title. Without my coaches, Scott Riggle and Kris
Huffman (tennis and basketball, respectively), I couldn’t have reached these levels and certainly
couldn’t have won this award.”
Bondi was nominated in women’s tennis after capturing the NCAA Division III singles cham-
pionship and earning Senior of the Year honors from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. She
finished her tennis career as a four-time all-America selection in both singles and doubles. She
had a 124-10 record in singles play and went 119-15 in doubles during her DePauw career.
In addition to her outstanding tennis career, Bondi was the leading scorer and rebounder on
this year’s basketball squad, the first national championship team in the University’s history. The
Kodak/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association First Team All-America choice was also named
most outstanding player at the Division III Women’s Basketball finals.

Prindle institute brings visiting scholar
to campus
Alyssa Bernstein, assistant professor of philosophy at Ohio University,
is the first recipient of the Nancy Schaenen Visiting Scholar Award for
residency at DePauw’s Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics during 2007-
08. While at DePauw, Bernstein will write a book on contemporary
philosophical conceptions of human rights, focusing on John Rawls’s
Law of Peoples and its main competitors.
“I am honored, thrilled, and delighted to receive the Nancy Schaenen
Visiting Scholar Award,” Bernstein said. “The prospect of working on
my book about human rights and global justice while taking part in the
activities of DePauw’s Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics greatly appeals
to me. I anticipate that I will enjoy as well as benefit from discussing
my work with interested students as well as faculty colleagues at the
Institute, at the philosophy department, and in the broader DePauw
intellectual community.”
Before joining the faculty of Ohio University, Bernstein was a Fellow
of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University’s
Kennedy School of Government. Her main areas of research and writing
are human rights, global justice, social contract theory (contractarianism
and contractualism) and Kant’s ethics and political philosophy.
Bernstein has a Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard, where she held a
Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities and was a Graduate Fellow at the
Harvard Center for Ethics. Prior to Harvard, she spent a year as a Fulbright
Scholar in Jerusalem studying Judaism, Islam and Christianity.
John K. Roth serves as the Robert and Carolyn Frederick Distin-

is the Edward J. Sexton Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Claremont
McKenna College, where he is the founding director of the Center for
the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights. He also
serves on the faculty of Claremont Graduate University.
“Dr. Bernstein will be an exceptional complement to Dr. John Roth,
and in tandem they will provide a richness of outside ideas and perspectives
that will enliven the first year of programs at the Janet Prindle Institute
for Ethics,” Neal B. Abraham, executive vice president of DePauw,
said. “Her educational and scholarly background and her teaching and
research interests will be valuable to many students and faculty members
interested in social justice ethical issues. We are particularly grateful to the
Schaenens for providing the generous support for this position, which
attracted a pool of highly qualified applicants from across the nation.”
A gift from Janet W. Prindle ’58 is funding construction of the Janet

published in French in 1902. It is not the typical science-fiction tale with daring heroes explor-
ing a far-flung corner of the world with sophisticated technology. Rather, it is an enthralling
detective story of two brothers who are first castaways in the South Seas, and later rescued but
entangled in a mutiny and the murder of a ship’s captain. Evans is the series editor of Wesleyan’s

meticulously recreates a crucial period in American history through the eyes of the fearless,
ambitious and high-spirited young man (no longer a boy), Jamie Bacon. It is 1811, and ten-

plans an exciting and perilous high-stakes trek that leads him to – among other places – the
Falls of the Cumberland and to the decisive Battle of New Orleans, where he encounters Major
General Andrew Jackson. Eventually, Jamie’s dreams are realized when he travels to Marion

Beth Felker Jones ’98, Marks of His Wounds, Gender Politics and Bodily Resurrection
(Oxford University Press – ISBN: 978-0-19-530981-2). “I articulate a Christian theology of
human embodiment in light of both resurrection doctrine and feminist political concerns,” Jones
writes in the introduction. It is a central tenet of Christian theology that we will be resurrected
in our bodies on the last day, but we have been conditioned to think of salvation as being about
anything but the body, she argues. Historically, some theologians have denigrated the body as
an obstacle to sanctification, and this notion is deeply problematic for feminist ethics, which
centers on embodiment. Among the people Jones thanks for supporting her efforts to write
the book is W. Fred Lamar, former DePauw University chaplain. Jones is an assistant professor
of Bible and religion at Huntington University.

Heilmann created canvases that are vivid, amusing and characteristically fluid. Her 1979 paint-
ing, Save the Last Dance for Me, marks a shift in her perspective, and the artist noted that this
painting “came from a different place.” She began to understand that the “choices in the work
depended more on content for their meaning.” Although outwardly it seems to be a simple,
black-and-pink painting, Myers explains the many twists of plot and the changes in character
in this painting’s ever-changing narrative. Myers explores the development of Heilmann’s work
and how her work continues to engage us psychologically, sensually and socially. Myers is a

Greek Life Advisory Council

strives to strengthen
DePauw’s Greek system GLAC
Current
The Greek Life Advisory Council, an alumni-driven effort to strengthen the Greek system at Members:
DePauw, is intended to help the University and its Greek system continue to be leaders among ΑΧΩ
colleges and universities nationally. ΑΦ
“The results of the Greek Fact-Finding Commission and DePauw President Robert G. Bot- ΔΓ
toms’ personal interest in strengthening the DePauw Greek system allowed alumni to formalize a ΔΖ
ΚΑΘ
group that has been meeting informally for years. At this critical time for DePauw’s Greek system,
ΚΚΓ
alumni saw a great opportunity and worked to organize the Greek Life Advisory Council,” said
ΠΒΦ
Lance A. DeNardin ’86, GLAC chair.

All Greek-letter organizations that DePauw currently recognizes and that have undergraduate
ΒΘΠ
members at DePauw are eligible for GLAC membership, including members of organizations ΔΧ
in chapter houses or University-owned housing. GLAC also is open to Greek-letter organiza- ΔΤΔ
tions that have in the past had undergraduate members and currently have alumni members at ΔΥ
DePauw. Each member organization may designate a maximum of two representatives to the ΛΧΑ
GLAC Assembly. ΦΔΘ
“When viewed nationally, Greek systems on college campuses are under close scrutiny,” ΦΓΔ
DeNardin explained. “What GLAC and the DePauw administration are doing is demonstrating ΦΚΨ
that the DePauw experience has been and always will continue to be the best available in the ΣΑΕ

Stadium, leads the legendary series by two games, 53-51-9, heading

your alma mater, then you should host a Monon Bell telecast party
on Nov. 10, or attend the party in your area! You can check out the
list of confirmed parties by going to the Web site above.
DePauw’s Office of Alumni Relations will create and mail telecast
party invitations for you. The office also will mail each party site a
game-day goodie box. Each host will receive a special token of our
thanks for your efforts. So, volunteer today!

If you are interested in hosting a telecast party in your area, contact Claudia de Leon,
