Ten members of the traveling party were killed and many others were injured in the accident. The story of the Immortal Ten is told each year at Freshman Mass Meeting, where the names of the ten are called out. In 1996, the senior class provided initial funding to create an Immortal Ten statue on campus. Fundraising and planning for the statue continued over the ensuing years. Finally, on June 22, 2007, the statue sculpted by Bruce R. Greene was unveiled. The Immortal Ten memorial was officially dedicated during Homecoming on November 2, 2007, in Traditions Square.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wacotrib.com/hp/content/news/stories/2007/02/04/02042007wactheimmortalten.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20071022184009/http://www.wacotrib.com/hp/content/news/stories/2007/02/04/02042007wactheimmortalten.html|url-status=dead|title=Baylor's Immortal Ten finally get their statuary due|date=October 22, 2007|archive-date=October 22, 2007}}</ref><ref>[http://www.baylor.edu/homecoming/index.php?id=2876]{{dead link|date=April 2012}}</ref><ref>[http://www.baylor.edu/about/index.php?id=5560] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070205035536/http://www.baylor.edu/about/index.php?id=5560|date=February 5, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://baylorbears.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/012207aaa.html |title=Baylor Flashback - Jan. 22, 1927 - The Immortal Ten :: Exactly 80 years ago, Baylor tragically lost 10 athletes |publisher=Baylorbears.cstv.com |access-date=April 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071022231348/http://baylorbears.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/012207aaa.html |archive-date=October 22, 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.baylor.edu/pr/news.php?action=story&story=46042 |title=Immortal Ten Memorial Installed on Campus |publisher=Baylor University |access-date=April 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100505153414/http://www.baylor.edu/pr/news.php?action=story&story=46042 |archive-date=May 5, 2010 |url-status=live |date=June 22, 2007 }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
