Baylor’s religion department gets $4M estate gift

WACO, Texas — Baylor University in Waco, Texas, announced July 20 an approximately $4 million gift from the estate of Allene Hubler, which will establish an endowed chair, an endowed professorship and an endowed scholarship in Baylor’s religion department.

Hubler’s gift will fund the Raymond O. Hubler Chair of Ministry Guidance, the J. David Slover Professorship of Ministry Guidance and the Raymond O. and Allene Breech Hubler Endowed Scholarship Fund — all of which benefit students in the department’s ministry guidance program.

“Endowed faculty positions and student scholarships enable Baylor to attract the best faculty and students,” Baylor President John Lilley said. “I thank Allene and Raymond Hubler for adopting Baylor and providing so generously for ministry guidance’s continued excellence.”
