Baker University

The College of Arts and Sciences and the undergraduate courses in the School of Education (SOE) are located on the campus in Baldwin City.

The school—which is the oldest, continually operating institution of higher learning in the state—was the first four-year university in Kansas and funds were raised by local donations and donors from the East.

Baker's first president, Werter R. Davis, a minister and Civil War officer, served from 1858 to 1862.

Baker was one of the first NAIA schools to take part in the Champions of Character program, which emphasizes respect, servant leadership, integrity, sportsmanship and responsibility.

Baker University has three residence halls and two apartment buildings for students living on campus.

The Clarice L. Osborne Memorial Chapel was moved stone by stone from the village of Sproxton, England, to serve as the spiritual center of the university. The chapel was dedicated at Baker in 1996 by Lady Margaret Thatcher, former British prime minister, whose father had preached in the building.
