Professor and Dean Emeritus Vic Powell H’55 got the 2009 Big Bash off to an early start Thursday as he sat with Archivist Beth Swift as the first guest of this year's Scarlet Yarns, the College's project to record on digital video the stories of Wabash alumni from their days at the College. The Big Bash officially begins today.

Wabash College staff are hosting what might be the biggest Big Bash ever. More than 350 alumni have started arriving on campus. The 50-year class will have the biggest turnout in Bash history for a Golden Reunion with more than half their class attending.

Big Bash Reunion Weekend features lots of handshakes, hugs, and the retelling of stories. It also features the Alumni Colloquium Series, which puts Wabash men back in the classroom as teachers. From the brain to photography, this year's colloquia range in topics.

Dr. Bob Einterz ’77 was invited to help commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of IUPUI when giving the prestigious "Last Lecture," one of the university's most honored invited lectures.
