The Baylor Line is an alumni magazine published by the Baylor Line Foundation, an independent organization for the alumni of Baylor University. In 1859, Baylor University President Rufus Burleson ordered the creation of an organization for Baylor graduates. This organization was known as the Baylor Alumni Association. The group began to release The Baylor Monthly in 1925, with J.M. Dawson serving as editor. However, by 1932, the organization and its publications were shut down due to financial concerns as the Great Depression worsened. The Baylor Centennial Foundation filled the gap through their publication of The Baylor Century beginning in 1938. An alumni organization made a return to Baylor’s campus in 1942, when the Baylor Ex-Students Organization was incorporated. In 1946, the Baylor Century was renamed The Baylor Line and its publication was placed under the control of the Baylor Ex-Students Organization. In 1976, the organization reverted its name back to the Baylor Alumni Association (BAA). In 2015, the BAA became the Baylor Line Foundation and still produces the Baylor Line Magazine to this day.
