Universitas Baylor: Perbedaan antara revisi

<!--

For the first half of the [[American Civil War]], the Baylor president was [[George Washington Baines]], maternal great-grandfather of the future [[President of the United States|U.S. President]], [[Lyndon B. Johnson|Lyndon Baines Johnson]]. He worked vigorously to sustain the university during the Civil War, when male students left their studies to enlist in the [[Confederate Army]]. Following the war, the city of Independence slowly declined, primarily caused by the rise of neighboring cities being serviced by the [[Santa Fe Railroad]]. Because Independence lacked a railroad line, university fathers began searching for a location to build a new campus.

In 1900, three [[physicians]] founded the University of Dallas Medical Department in [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]], although a university by that name did not exist. In 1903, Baylor University acquired the medical school, which became known as the [[Baylor College of Medicine]], while remaining in Dallas. In 1943, Dallas civic leaders offered to build larger facilities for the university in a new medical center if the College of Medicine would surrender its denominational alliances with the Baptist state convention. The Baylor administration refused the offer and, with funding from the [[The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center|M. D. Anderson Foundation]] and others, moved the College of Medicine to [[Houston, Texas|Houston]]. In 1969, the Baylor College of Medicine became technically independent from Baylor University. The two institutions still maintain strong links and Baylor still elects around 25 percent of the medical school's regents. They also share academic links and combine in research efforts.

 

During [[World War II]], Baylor was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the [[V-12 Navy College Training Program]] which offered students a path to a Navy commission.<ref name="list-of-v-12">{{cite web |url=http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/Admin-Hist/115-8thND/115-8ND-23.html |title=U.S. Naval Administration in World War II |publisher=HyperWar Foundation |last= |first= |accessdate=September 29, 2011 |year=2011}}</ref>
