Ten at Ten: A Mass Meeting Experience

Mass Meeting welcomes our first-year students to Homecoming and features the retelling of the story of the Immortal 10 and the presentation of the Eternal Flame. The story of the Immortal Ten reminds us that we each have a unique responsibility to care for and value one another as individuals and collectively as the Baylor Family.

More than 90 years after the tragic event, Baylor students still honor the names of 10 students who died in a bus-train accident on January 22, 1927, in Round Rock, Texas. From Jack Castellaw to William Winchester, the Immortal Ten are alphabetically presented as their story is told at the annual Mass Meeting. Following Mass Meeting freshmen gather on Fountain Mall to build the Homecoming Bonfire.
