                     IN HONOR OF DR. EDGAR B. MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 17, 2006

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Dr. Edgar B. Moore, beloved husband, father, friend, educator, and 
spiritual leader. Dr. Moore leaves a legacy at Baldwin-Wallace College 
that reflects his personal passions and professional accomplishments in 
his roles as both chaplain and professor.
  Dr. Moore began his career at Baldwin-Wallace in August 1962, when he 
was hired as chaplain. He immediately became involved in various chapel 
activities while counseling and advising students and teaching in the 
Religion Department. At the end of his first year, the History 
Department underwent major changes, and Dr. Moore was asked to take a 
position as professor of history. He accepted and was named chairman 
while remaining chaplain. Dr. Moore remained in the History Department 
until his retirement.
  Dr. Moore's involvement at Baldwin-Wallace extended far beyond the 
History Department. His students became babysitters for his and his 
wife's three children, Cynthia, Robert, and Mary Louise. He chaperoned 
spring formals and Greek parties and assisted in the formation of the 
Cosmopolitan Club, which brought American and international students 
together to promote greater understanding between cultures.
  Dr. Moore continued his own education while teaching at Baldwin-
Wallace. In January 1966, he earned his doctorate of philosophy from 
the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Through a series of visits, 
he developed a relationship between the schools, which led to the 
present Academic Studies Abroad program. Dr. Moore attended 
Northwestern University in the summer of 1969 for graduate classes in 
African Studies. His new knowledge and ongoing interest in uniting 
cultures led to the African Studies program.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and gratitude to 
Dr. Edgar B. Moore, whose outstanding 44-year career was defined by his 
steadfast commitment to spiritual growth, education, and appreciation 
of diversified cultures. While his students and colleagues will miss 
him immensely, his legacy and contributions to the Baldwin-Wallace 
community will live on for many generations to come.
