The Joseph R. Bailer Award was established by the family of Dr. Bailer, who died in 1974. Dr. Bailer was chair of the McDaniel College Education Department and also Director of its Graduate Program from 1949 to 1971. He was a primary contributor to the growth of the program.

During Dr. Bailer's long years of service, he influenced the lives of hundreds of McDaniel College graduate students, many of whom have gone on to leadership roles in educational programs both in Maryland and beyond.
