one turned in 1998-99, Ball State was
acknowledged as a leader, standard-setter, role model, pioneer,
or champion. It is a performance of which every faculty, staff,
student, alumnus, donor, and friend of the university can be
proud.
Beneficence, defined as the quality of doing good,
is the trademark of this great university and its people. Ball State
people excel, not for the sake of winning recognition and awards, but
for the goal of serving others and doing good. That is our heritage. You
may call it civic responsibility, community service, or simply an
unselfish spirit.
An unselfish spirit was the trademark of Mary Lou
Conrad, who served as a member of the Board of Trustees for fourteen
years, and of Pennie Thomas, who was a trustee for nine years. Both
talented women were actively serving their university and their
communities when they passed away in 1998 and 1999, far too soon for all

who serve under the Ball State University banner.
