        <Explanation>Frederick Hart's Washington National Cathedral Collection is an impressive assemblage of sculptures that includes the bas-relief "Ex Nihilo" and the life-size castings of the biblical figures Adam, St. Peter and St. Paul. In addition to these sculptures from the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, the artist is best known for his bronze sculptures of three soldiers for the National Vietnam War Memorial. Benedictine College is the only college to have these first castings available for viewing on a daily basis. "Ex Nihilo" is on exhibit inside the Student Union and the statues of Adam, St. Peter and St. Paul are located in the heart of campus along the Raven Walk. The presence of these pieces exposes our students and our campus visitors to some truly magnificent artwork, and is another illustration of our commitment to a broad liberal arts education.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS A CATHOLIC, BENEDICTINE, LIBERAL ARTS, RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE WITH A MISSION TO EDUCATE MEN AND WOMEN WITHIN A COMMUNITY OF FAITH AND SCHOLARSHIP. WE HAVE A VISION TO BUILD ONE OF THE GREAT CATHOLIC COLLEGES IN AMERICA, AND ATTAINING THAT VISION REQUIRES A COMMUNITY-WIDE COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE. WE DEDICATE OURSELVES TO EDUCATING STUDENTS TO BECOME LEADERS IN THE BENEDICTINE TRADITION, WHO WILL TRANSFORM THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR COMMITMENT TO INTELLECTUAL, PERSONAL AND SPIRITUAL GREATNESS. IN 2009, THE COLLEGE CELEBRATED ITS SESQUICENTENNIAL, ACKNOWLEDGING ITS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY, FAITH AND SCHOLARSHIP. WITH OVER 150 YEARS OF TRADITION, BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL WITHIN A COMMUNITY. THE COLLEGE PROVIDES OUR STUDENTS WITH THE PRINCIPLES, KNOWLEDGE, AND SKILLS FOR A LIFE OF LEARNING, LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE. BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS LOCATED IN ATCHISON, KANSAS, ON A 120-ACRE CAMPUS OVERLOOKING THE MISSOURI RIVER, ABOUT 50 MILES NORTH OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

FOR THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR (2011-12), BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS BLESSED TO HAVE THE LARGEST FULL-TIME UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT BODY IN ITS HISTORY, WITH MORE THAN 1,600 STUDENTS, NEARLY TRIPLING BENEDICTINE COLLEGE'S ENROLLMENT FROM 20 YEARS AGO. A RECORD 275 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE 2011 PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP COMPETITION AND THE FRESHMAN CLASS ENTERING IN 2011 WAS NOT ONLY THE LARGEST IN SCHOOL HISTORY, BUT ALSO HAS THE HIGHEST AVERAGE ACT SCORE IN SCHOOL HISTORY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS ATTRACTING BOTH MORE STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST. NEARLY 80% OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS LIVE ON CAMPUS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COLLEGE'S STRONG RESIDENTIAL TRADITION. TO KEEP UP WITH ITS GROWTH, BENEDICTINE COLLEGE HAS OPENED EIGHT NEW RESIDENCE HALLS SINCE THE YEAR 2000. NATIONAL SURVEYS PLACE BENEDICTINE'S STUDENT LIFE PROGRAM HIGHEST IN OVERALL RESIDENT SATISFACTION AND BENEDICTINE COLLEGE'S RETENTION RATE IS CONSISTENTLY ABOVE 90%. IN THE SUMMER OF 2010, THE COLLEGE BEGAN BUILDING A NEW ACADEMIC CENTER WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL 57,000 SQUARE FEET OF MUCH-NEEDED SPACE FOR CLASSES, FACULTY AND PROGRAMS. FACULTY AND STAFF WILL MOVE INTO THIS NEW, LEED-CERTIFIED BUILDING IN MARCH 2012. STUDENTS WILL BEGIN CLASSES IN THE FACILITY FOLLOWING SPRING BREAK 2012. IN ATHLETICS, THE PAST ACADEMIC YEAR SAW HEAD FOOTBALL COACH LARRY WILCOX BECOME KANSAS' ALL TIME WINNINGEST FOUR YEAR COLLEGE COACH. OUR ATHLETES HAVE EXCELLED ON THE FIELD AS WELL AS OFF, WITH SEVEN VARSITY SPORTS TEAMS RECEIVING NAIA SCHOLAR TEAM RECOGNITION, BENEDICTINE COLLEGE STUDENT ATHLETES AVERAGING HIGHER THAN A 3.0 GPA, AND THE NATIONAL SOCCER COACHES ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA AWARDING THE WOMEN'S SOCCER PROGRAM THE TEAM ACADEMIC AWARD, NAMING FOUR PLAYERS TO THE ACADEMIC ALL-REGION LIST. IN THE AREA OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, BENEDICTINE IS NOW ONE OF THE FEW CATHOLIC COLLEGES IN THE NATION OFFERING ABET-ACCREDITED PROGRAMS IN CHEMICAL, CIVIL, ELECTRICAL, AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. ALSO, SEVERAL NEW MAJORS HAVE BEEN ADDED IN RECENT YEARS, INCLUDING ART, CRIMINOLOGY, ENGINEERING PHYSICS, FINANCE, GENERAL ENGINEERING, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, AND NURSING. THIS YEAR, 25 OF OUR PROFESSORS WERE RANKED IN THE TOP 10% OF THE NATIONAL IDEA FACULTY EVALUATIONS. FOR THE FIFTH YEAR, BENEDICTINE COLLEGE WAS NAMED ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST COLLEGES BY "U.S. NEWS &amp; WORLD REPORT," APPEARING AS A TOP-TIER SCHOOL IN THE MIDWEST - MASTERS CATEGORY. IN ADDITION, THE CARDINAL NEWMAN SOCIETY NAMED BENEDICTINE COLLEGE ONE OF THE TOP CATHOLIC COLLEGES IN THE UNITED STATES IN ITS PUBLICATION, "THE NEWMAN GUIDE TO CHOOSING A CATHOLIC COLLEGE." AFTER AN EXTENSIVE NATIONAL STUDY, "FIRST THINGS" MAGAZINE ALSO NAMED BENEDICTINE COLLEGE TO ITS TOP 20. THE SCHOOL IS RANKED NUMBER 18 IN THE NATION BY THEIR RESEARCH, WHICH INCLUDED MORE THAN 2,000 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, FROM AMERICAN UNIVERSITY TO YALE.

THIS YEAR, A NEW INSTITUTE FOR MISSIONARY ACTIVITY WAS DEVELOPED AND THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO FRESHMEN ENTERING IN THE FALL OF 2012. THE MINISTRY PROGRAM IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED, THE STUDENT LIFE PROGRAM HAS BECOME A MODEL FOR OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF A NEW WRESTLING PROGRAM, ARE HIGH ACHIEVING IN EVERY ASPECT. BENEDICTINE COLLEGE IS CONSISTENTLY GAINING IN IMAGE AND AWARENESS. IT HAS AVERAGED 6% GROWTH IN ENROLLMENT EACH YEAR FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED, WITH NEW RESIDENCE FACILITIES AND NOW A FABULOUS NEW SIGNATURE ACADEMIC BUILDING NEARING COMPLETION. IN ADDITION, A SPECIALLY-COMMISSIONED STATUE OF ST. BENEDICT NOW WELCOMES VISITORS TO CAMPUS OUTSIDE THE HAVERTY CENTER. THE BENEDICTINE MONKS AND SISTERS WHO BRAVED THE AMERICAN FRONTIER OF THE MIDDLE 1800s WOULD BE PROUD TO SEE THE INSTITUTION THAT STILL REPRESENTS THEIR VISION OF COMMUNITY, FAITH AND SCHOLARSHIP IN SUCH AN OUSTANDING WAY.</Explanation>
