Baylor's Diadeloso (Day of the Bear) tradition is a day off from school during the spring when students enjoy games, tournaments, shows, and more.

Baylor University's annual Beall Poetry Festival is supported by the John A. and DeLouise McClelland Beall Endowed Fund, established in 1994 by Mrs. Virginia B. Ball of Muncie, IN, to honor her parents and to encourage the writing and appreciation of poetry.
