The Hauber Chair involves an endowment for

Baecke Chair of Humanities
The Albert and Rachel Baecke Chair of
Humanities was established in 1981 when
endowment of the Chair was initiated by a sizable
gift of stock shares to St. Ambrose from the
Baeckes, former residents of East Moline, Ill.,
who had moved to Clearwater, Fla. Mr. Baecke
died there in 1985.
The Baecke Chair, which rotates among the
academic areas of the humanities, enhances the
teaching and learning experience in the humanities,
which are considered the heart of learning in
a liberal arts college. Priority funding is given to
curriculum and faculty development.
The Chair of Catholic Studies
The St. Ambrose University Chair of Catholic
Studies was established by the University in the
spring of 1986 to address concerns of a religious
nature.
The Chair provides for guest lecturers in fields
which are of direct concern to the Catholic community
and the greater community at large.
Among others, these fields include theology, history,
literature, music, scripture, liturgy, and the
natural and social sciences.
