Baylor has a long history of preparing men and women for service to our country as elected officials, civil servants, and military leaders. Two such leaders, Jack Lummus (’41) and John Kane (BA ’28) were awarded our nation’s highest military honor – the Congressional Medal of Honor – for their bravery and sacrificial service. The two also are believed to be the only pair of athletes at any university in the nation to have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Lummus played football, baseball, and basketball for the Bears; Kane played football and basketball. In 2019, in honor of these two remarkable men, alumnus Haag Sherman (BBA ’88) of Houston provided funding and leadership for the design and sculpting of statues honoring these heroes. Those statues are nearing completion and are expected to be installed on the grounds of McLane Stadium in late November. In addition, Baylor Alumni will host a special Lunch with the Legend event on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, in honor of these men and all who have served our country and in recognition of the generous donor who was called to honor them. *12:00 P.M. - 1:00 P.M. CDT
