Forgotten East Bay golf champ Tony Lema died on edge of greatness. Updated 12:49 am, Thursday, July 10, 2014. Fifty years ago Thursday, Tony Lema stylishly scrawled his name in golf lore. He didn't merely win the 1964 Open Championship - he won at storied St. Andrews and he beat runner-up Jack Nicklaus by five shots. A half-century later, Lema remains the Bay Area's forgotten major champion in many ways. And that's unfortunate, because he truly was one of a kind. Tony had a very light air about him, two-time major winner Johnny Miller said. I don't think he worried about a lot of things, and he played golf the same way.
Abner S. Ingman and James R. Maupin founded Southwest Baptist College in 1878 in Lebanon, Missouri. The Lebanon campus originally had an enrollment of 60 students and six faculty.
Established in 1898. Decatur Baptist College, the forerunner of Dallas Baptist University, opened its doors in 1898 as the first two-year institution of higher education in Texas. The school moved to Dallas in 1965. In October 1965, Dallas Baptist College began offering classes for a first class of over 900 students. In 1968, the college moved from junior-college to senior-college status, offering its first four-year bachelor's degrees in May 1970. In 1985, the college name officially became Dallas Baptist University.
