- Created as a result of the combined nature of Baker and Duncan while Baker was in Duncan and the two populations where extensively intermingled, the first syllables of the two colleges were combined to create a word that could be used to refer to the college as a whole without leaving out either a member of baker or a member of Duncan.
Badunc
