The Baylor community gathered to honor the contributions and life of long-term faculty member Dr. John "Doc" Miller. John’s Baylor career began in 1974 as an English teacher. He soon began teaching photography and film making, and developed a popular visual literacy course. He served as head of the arts department for more than a decade, and was a dorm parent for ten years. He earned two Lyndhurst grants, one to travel U.S. Highway 1 to photograph 40s and 50s architecture and another to attend a Wordsworth seminar in England. For more than 20 years he sponsored Inner Circle, a movie discussion group for students, and he was instrumental in rallying support for the fine arts facilities that students enjoy today.
