Butler Connnectionhttp://www.butler.eduumbracoenCondolences to the Family of Howard G. Baetzholdhttp://www.butler.edu/buc/2012/08/31/condolences-to-the-family-of-howard-g-baetzhold/Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:15:10 GMThttp://www.butler.edu/buc/2012/08/31/condolences-to-the-family-of-howard-g-baetzhold/It is with deep sympathy that we share Dr. Howard George Baetzhold, 89, died Saturday, July 7.

After serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II, Howard returned to Brown University, where he met his wife, Nancy M. Cheesman, and soon after began their loving and supportive 60-year marriage.

In 1953, Howard accepted a position in the Butler University English Department and began his tenured academic career. From 1981 to 1985 Howard served as head of the English Department and was named the Rebecca Clifton Reade Professor of English Emeritus. He retired from Butler University in 1988. Not only was he a long-time professor, he was a generous donor and served on the Ovid Butler Society Executive Committee for several years.

Howard was a nationally recognized Mark Twain scholar, writing and editing publications for over 40 years. During his whole life, Howard fostered a love of water and was a competitive swimmer in high school and college. He was a member of the British Sub-Aqua Club of Indiana and, for a time, taught scuba diving at the Jordan YMCA. Howard continued swimming through the U.S. Masters Swimming Program well into his 70's.

Howard was a true gentleman with a wonderfully dry sense of humor. He was named a Sagamore of the Wabash by Indiana Governor Robert D. Orr. He supported the efforts and activities of his family and is lovingly remembered by his children Howard K. Baetzhold (Sandy) and Barbara M. Baetzhold (Brad Drake) and the thousands of students who were inspired by his knowledge and passion for American Literature.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8, at 6 p.m. in the Johnson Board Room in Robertson Hall at Butler University. A reception will immediately follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Dr. Howard G. Baetzhold to Butler University, 4600 Sunset Lane, Indianapolis, 46208.

Please keep Howard's family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

]]>Woods Lectures Begin With Bioethicist Gregory Pencehttp://www.butler.edu/buc/2012/08/31/woods-lectures-begin-with-bioethicist-gregory-pence/Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:37:59 GMThttp://www.butler.edu/buc/2012/08/31/woods-lectures-begin-with-bioethicist-gregory-pence/Butler University's fall 2012 J. James Woods Lectures on the Sciences and Mathematics begin at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 6 with bioethicist Gregory Pence.

All talks in the series begin at 7:30 p.m. and take place in the Atherton Union Reilly Room. They are free and open to the public without tickets. For more information, call (317) 940-9269.

Pence is known as one of the founders of bioethics and an aggressive defender of all cloning research. One of the pioneering bioethicists in America, Pence has a unique point of view since he has seen many past prophecies of doom fail and is optimistic about biotechnology. In a phrase: Pence believes his opponents are creating a new Age of Darkness.

He is nationally and internationally famous for defending cloning and genetically modified food against bio-Luddites and Nay-Sayers, who oppose research on stem cells and cloning. And because of his views, his talks have been picketed by Greenpeace and anti-cloning zealots.

His book Who's Afraid of Human Cloning? rigorously attacks opponents of cloning. His second book on cloning, Cloning After Dolly: Who's Still Afraid?, argues for the legalization of artificial wombs and trans-species hybrids. Pence notes that most people's perception of cloning is based more on science fiction than science, and that anti-cloners draw false or irrelevant distinctions based on questions of human dignity and a religious view of the embryo as a human life. He argues that cloning is actually a biological imperative: we must develop cloning technology to survive the next plague.
