A Tribute to the Legacy of “Ancient Stan” Stan Lewis (1920-2005)

Baylor’s Valedictorians and Salutatorians Named

s of Year Coe ation duc

20

It is with great sadness that the Baylor School community notes the passing of former coach and faculty member, Stan Lewis. Mr. Lewis, age 84, died June 6 after a lengthy illness. Mr. Lewis was a member of Baylor’s faculty from 1948-86. Under his leadership, Baylor’s novice swim team was transformed into a program that turned out a Mid-South championship in 1966 and state championships in 1968, 1972, and 1974. He coached several All-American swimmers and divers at Baylor and concluded his coaching career in 1974 with an overall record of 143-74-1. He was a member of Baylor’s Sports Hall of Fame and was an inaugural inductee into the Tennessee Swimming Hall of Fame in 1982. In 2003 he was inducted into the Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame. Mr. Lewis became known around campus as “ancient” as a reference to his passionate instruction of ancient history, but his zeal for both teaching and coaching was nothing short of youthful. Shortly after arriving at Baylor, he was appointed head of the history department, and during his tenure he introduced a number of innovative classes. Matt Lewis ’74 delivered a wonderful tribute to his father’s lasting legacy at Stan’s memorial service. To read the remarks go to: www.baylorschool.org/alumni/stanlewis.html He earned a bachelor’s degree from Wesleyan University and a master’s degree from the University of Virginia. He served in the U.S. Army from 1942-1946 as a first lieutenant. Memorial contributions may be sent to Baylor for the new Aquatic Center.
