Dr.  J.  Jefferson  Bennett,  vice-chan- 
cellor of  the  University  of  the 
South,  told  the  joint  faculties 
February  28  of  his  intention  to 
resign. 

His  decision  came  after  the 
meeting  of  the  board  of  regents  the 
previous  weekend.  He  called  the 
chairman  of  the  board,  Dr.  Richard 
Doss,  C'50,  of  Houston,  requesting 
that  he  convene  a  special  session  of 
the  board  to  allow  him  to  submit 
his  resignation  and  take  steps  to 
effect  an  orderly  transition  of 
leadership.  The  request  was  accept- 
ed and  the  meeting  was  scheduled 
for  March  7  in  Atlanta. 

Dr.  Bennett  explained  his  de- 
cision to  the  faculties.  "The  in- 
evitable frustrations  generated  by 
three  successive  years  of  operating 
deficits  have  helped  me  decide  that 
a  new  person  wrestling  with  the 
same  problems  would  help  bring 
those  problems  into  proper  focus." 
"Nevertheless,"  Dr.  Bennett 
continued,  "during  the  course  of 
the  recently  adjourned  regents' 
meeting  a  balanced  operating  budg- 
et was  submitted  and  approved 
subject  to  our  making  further 
adjustments  in  expenditures  to 
provide  some  increase  in  faculty 
salaries  beyond  that  submitted.  It 
also  anticipates  our  submitting  the 
hospital  operating  budget  following 
a  professional  analysis  of  staffing 
patterns  there. 

"I  can  offer  my  resignation 
with  the  conviction  that  the  uni- 
versity corporation  is  headed  for 
fiscal  stability  next  year  and  is 
operating  with  much  better  fiscal 
data  and  control  this  year,"  he  said. 
"I  pledge  my  every  possible 
assistance  in  providing  continuity 
in  the  administration  of  our  aca- 
demic, financial,  and  community 
programs,  and  I  express  my  grati- 
tude for  the  privilege  of  service  to 


Sewanee  by  Mrs.  Bennett  and 
myself  since  September,  1971." 
Dr.  Bennett  urged  the  facul- 
ties: "Do  not  allow  the  momentum, 
the  vitality,  and  the  worth  of  this 
place  and  its  mission  to  be  either 
weakened  or  interrupted  by  this 
particular  set  of  circumstances.  Let 
the  faculty  continue  distinguished 
teaching  with  confidence  in  their 
work  and  in  the  university's  future. 
I  promise  the  same  devotion  to  my 
duties  during  the  remainder  of  my 
tenure  here- 1  pray  God's  wisdom 
and  protection  for  us  all." 

The  deans  and  individual  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  rose  to  express 
their  personal  regrets  at  Dr.  Ben- 
nett's decision  and  gratitude  for  his 
administration.  Dr.  John  M.  Gessell, 
professor  of  Christian  ethics  in  the 
School  of  Theology,  pointed  out 
that  the  university  is  greatly  in 
Dr.  Bennett's  debt  for  his  "sensible 
and  heroic  measures  to  guard 
against  financial  disaster."  Dr.  Ges- 
sell said,  "You  have  created  a  cli- 
mate in  which  the  faculty  became 
more  articulate  and  critical.  Let  me 
convey  my  thanks,  admiration  and 
assent  to  the  call  to  press  forward 
on  the  real  strength  of  this  univer- 
sity." 

Achievements  during  the  Ben- 
nett administration  have  included 
a  rise  in  unrestricted  gift  income 
from  $533,000  in  1971-72  to  more 
than  a  million  dollars  in  1975-76, 
almost  double.  Capital  debt  on 
buildings  constructed  before  1971 
was  reduced  and  the  student  union, 
the  Bishop's  Common,  was  re- 
designed and  completed  into  what 
has  been  called  one  of  the  most 
useful  such  buildings  on  any  college 
campus. 

Exposure  to  severe  financial 
losses  from  the  university's  opera- 
tion of  the  Sewanee  Inn  and  the 


Bishop's  Common  pub  and  snack 
bar  was  stopped  by  turning  the 
facilities  over  to  private  manage- 
ment. The  creation  of  the  Sewanee 
Public  Utility  District  and  conse- 
quent-federal grant  made  possible 
the  modernization  and  expansion 
of  the  water  and  sewer  system  and 
removed  their  subsidy  from  the 
university's  operating  budget. 

Faculty  compensation  includ- 
ing retirement  and  fringe  benefits 
had  an  average  annual  increase  of 
6.5  per  cent,  though  still  behind 
the  national  inflation  rate.  The 
faculties  of  the  college  and  semi- 
nary have  increased  from  83  to 
93l/2  full-time  equivalents.  A  favor- 
able student-faculty  ratio  has  been 
maintained,  and  admissions  in  the 
two  units  have  been  at  capacity 
without  lessening  of  quality,  ob- 
servers agree.  A  long-range  plan  for 
dormitory  renovation  has  been  put 
into  effect. 

A  long-standing  debt  on  All 
Saints'  Chapel  was  eliminated  and 
the  building  consecrated. 

The  number  of  alumni  giving 
to  the  university  has  increased  by 
23  per  cent  this  year. 

Dr.  Bennett  has  personally  been 
responsible  for  the  securing  of 
many  major  gifts  and  has  given  his 
energies  to  the  development  needs 
of  the  university  to  a  degree  un- 
usual    among    college    presidents.

HUTSON  LEAVES  ACADEMY 
FOR  CHRIST  SCHOOL 


Science  students  jumped  at  the 

extra  learning.  Here  Union  Carbide  personnel  make 
use  of  the  youthful  eyes  of  Earlene  Siebold,  C'79, 
in  reading  blueprints  while  they  adjust  the  robot's 
TV  cameras. 


All's  Well  after  Radiation  Leak 


Early  in  November  an  excessive 
level  of  radiation  was  detected  in 
the  radioisotopes  laboratory  during 
a  routine  six-months  inspection  by 
Dr.  David  Camp,  professor  of  chem- 
istry, and  a  student,  Donald  Weber. 
The  area  was  immediately  closed 
off  and  the  Tennessee  Department 
of  Public  Health  notified.  A  team  of 
experts  from  the  Union  Carbide 
plant  at  Oak  Ridge,  under  the  di- 
rection of  the  Energy  Research  and 
Development  Administration, 

brought  their  large  mobile  unit,  and 
using  a  robot  and  closed-circuit  tele- 
vision, pinpointed  the  problem  and 
removed  the  offending  material. 
A  capsule  of  the  radioisotope 
Cesium  137  had  come  loose  from  its 
attachment  inside  a  sealed  contain- 
er, fallen  into  the  specimen  cham- 
ber, and,  unrecognized,  been  put  on 
top  of  the  container.  No  one,  of 
course,  had  ever  seen  the  contents 
of  the  container.  Since  the  Univer- 
sity was  one  of  the  first  colleges  to 
acquire  a  radioisotopes  unit  its 
equipment  was  among  the  earliest. 
Preliminary  investigation  indicated 
that  a  weld  inside  the  container  had 
been  weakened  by  many  years  of 
exposure  to  the  intense  radiation. 
Dr.  Camp  and  Donald  Weber, 
who  had  both  handled  the  capsule, 
underwent  routine  medical  examina- 
tions and  then  went  to  Oak  Ridge, 
where  further  tests  indicated  they 
had  not  received  a  serious  exposure. 
John  Graves  of  the  Tennessee  de- 
partment of  health  said  that  efforts 
were  being  made  to  find  out  if  other 
containers  of  the  type  of  Sewanee's 
are  in  use  in  the  state  and  to  warn 
their   owners   of  possible   hazards. 


Richard  Smith,  in  charge  of  the 
Oak  Ridge  team,  said  the  futuristic- 
looking  robot  is  usually  used  in 
handling  radioactive  materials  inside 
the  Oak  Ridge  plant  and  this  was 
only  the  second  time  it  had  gone  on 
an  outside  call.  He  said  the  radiation 
in  the  Sewanee  lab  was  "nickel  and 
dime  stuff"  compared  to  what  the 
robot  handles  in  the  plant,  but  that 
it  was  good  practice  for  the  crew. 


Henry  Hutson,  C'50,  headmas- 
ter of  the  Sewanee  Academy,  has 
accepted  a  call  to  be  headmaster  of 
Christ  School  at  Arden,  North  Caro- 
lina, where  he  served  for  eight  years 
as  teacher  of  Spanish  and  assistant 
headmaster  before  coming  to  ad- 
minister the  Sewanee  school  in 
1971. 

Dr.  J.  Jefferson  Bennett,  Vice- 
Chancellor  and  President  of  the 
University  of  the  South  Corpora- 
tion, of  which  the  Sewanee  Acad- 
emy is  a  unit,  said,  "I  am  grateful 
for  Henry  Hutson 's  career  here  and 
our  association  since  my  coming 
in  September,  1971,  shortly  after 
his  arrival  in  June  of  that  year.  Dur- 
ing this  time  among  other  great 
contributions  he  led  the  transition 
from  a  military  to  a  civilian  pro- 
gram in  private  secondary  educa- 
tion—a decision  in  which  he  had 
no  part  but  to  which  he  rose  mag- 
nificently. With  his  leadership,  too, 
we  began  accepting  female  board- 
ing students.— He  and  his  family 
will  be  sorely  missed  at  Sewanee."

the  retired  reserve  with  the  rank  of 
major  in  1954. 

He  has  served  in  numerous 
church,  civic  and  professional 
offices,  including  most  recently  the 
chairmanship  of  the  board  of  di- 
rectors of  the  Association  of  Epis- 
copal Colleges  and  of  the  Southern

Dr.  Bennett  said  he  planned  t 
move  immediately  toward  th 
creation  of  a  committee  of  advic 
to  seek  out  and  recruit  Mr.  Hutson' 
successor.

LARGE  GIFT  FUNDS  TUCKAWAY  RENOVATION 


A  systematic  dormitory  renova- 
tion program  has  been  under  way, 
with  one  of  the  older  buildings 
tackled  each  year.  When  it  came  to 
Tuckaway,  built  in  1930,  it  became 
apparent  that  so  much  needed  to 
be  done  that  a  special  gift  would  be 
required— the  operating  budget 
could  not  possibly  handle  it.  Just 
the  cost  of  bringing  the  building 
into  compliance  with  current  fire 
and  safety  codes  was  estimated  at 
far  beyond  what  has  been  budgeted 
for  an  entire  year  of  dormitory 
renovation  and  maintenance. 

A  benefactor  has  come  forward 
with  a  gift  sufficient  to  cover  the 
necessary  restructuring  of  the  gra- 
cious old  building,  plus  some  amen- 
ities. Mrs.  Brownlee  Currey  of 
Nashville,  who  spent  summers  of 
her  youth  at  Tuckaway  when  it 
accommodated  visitors,  is  making 
possible  a  new  life  of  service  for 
the  dormitory  which  is  generally 
regarded  as  one  of  Sewanee's  most 
attractive  in  outward  appearance. 
She  prefers  that  the  amount  of  her 
gift  not  be  made  public. 

Finds  Giving  a  Joy 

When  the  art  gallery  moved 
from  the  Tuckaway  basement  into 
Guerry  Hall,  the  space  was  convert- 
ed with  temporary  partitions  into 
additional  dormitory  rooms.  There 
have  been  many  complaints  about 
noise,  which  new  wall  construction 
wd  carpeting  on  the  presently  bare 
concrete  should  do  much  to  allevi- 
ate. New  corridor  doors  will  have  to 
he  built  for  fire  protection,  and 
*ese,  too,  should  help  the  noise 
Problem.  All  the  room  doors  will 
06  replaced  with  fire-resistant  ones. 

Extensive  work  is  needed  on 
'he  roof  and  gutters  and  for  other 
waterproofing.  An  entirely  new 
electric  system  will  be  put  in,  and 
major  changes  made  in  the  plumb- 
mg,  both  required  to  meet  regula- 
tions. (The  plumbing  is  needed  to 
*ake  more  water  available  for 
tlte    control.    At    the    same    time, 


bathrooms  will  be  spruced  up  and 
new  fixtures  installed.) 

Mrs.  Currey,  the  benefactor 
who  has  made  the  Tuckaway 
renovation  possible,  is  the  daugh- 
ter of  the  late  E.  L.  Hampton, 
president  of  the  Consolidated 
Coal  Company  of  Tracy  City, 
Tennessee,  and  the  widow  of 
Brownlee  O.  Currey,  a  prominent 
Nashville  business  man  and  finan- 
cier. He  was  instrumental  in  the 
founding  of  St.  George's  Church 
and  at  one  time  served  as  its 
senior  warden.  He  died  in  1952. 
Mrs.  Currey,  a  charter  member 
of  the  Chancellor's  Society,  is  a 
communicant  of  St.  George's, 
a  member  of  its  Altar  Guild,  and 
has  been  active  in  charity  work 
in  Nashville  for  many  years. 

She  has  been  described  as  a 
"joyful  giver."  When  Dr.  Bennett, 
the  Vice-Chancellor,  called  her 
to  say  how  happy  he  was  when 
the  gift  came  in  she  said,  "I'll  bet 
I'm  happier  than  you  are.  It  is  a 
joy  to  be  able  to  do  something 
like  this." 

Tuckaway  Has  Been  Inn, 
Dormitory 

Tuckaway  Inn  received  its 
name  in  1913  when  Miss  Johnnie 
Tucker  remodeled  the.  old  Cotten 
house  and  named  it  after  her 
mother.  The  building  bumed  to 
the  ground  in  1926  and  the  present 
structure  was  built  in  1930.  Miss 
Johnnie,  a  warmly  held  memory 
for  older  alumni  and  a  legend  for 
younger  ones,  was  matron  of 
Tuckaway  until  1945.  The  inn, 
which  before  completion  of  Gailor 
had  its  own  dining  hall,  accommo- 
dated guests  as  well  as  students  in 
whole  or  in  part  until  the  latter- 
day  Sewanee  Inn  was  opened  in 
1958. 

Other  Gifts  Up  and  Down 

The  Million  Dollar  Program 
for  annual  unrestricted  giving  appli- 
cable to  the  current  operating 
budget  on  January  1,  mid-point  of 


the  fiscal  year,  stood  at  $493,214 
from  2,097  donors.  With  the 
budgeted  amount  for  the  year  at 
$1,134,000,  "We  are  having  to  play 
catch-up  ball,"  William  U.  Whipple, 
vice-president  for  development, 
says. 

The  amount  is  above  that  in 
1974-75  ($406,517)  and  below 
1975-76  ($550,082). 

Included  in  these  totals  are 
unrestricted  bequests,  which  for 
the  first  six  months  of  this  year 
came  to  just  $10,400.  This  figure 
was  over  $24,000  in  each  of  the 
two  previous  years. 

Restricted  gifts  in  the  first 
six  months  of  1976-77  amounted 
to  $482,420.  Added  to  $31,641  in 
restricted  bequests,  the  total  sum 
forrestricted  purposes  was  $514,061. 
The  total,  when  bequests  are  ex- 
cluded, was  higher  than  it  had  been 
in  five  years. 

Grand  total  of  restricted  plus 
unrestricted  gifts  and  bequests  for 
the  first  six  months  of  1976-77 
was  $1,007,275. 

Eight  members  of  the  Chan- 
cellor's Society  had  renewed  their 
gifts  of  $10,000  or  more  applicable 
to  the  operating  budget,  and  three 
new  members  were  added,  with  a 
total  of  $175,107  from  this  source. 

Alumni  Giving  Is  Up 

Reflecting  the  successful  thrust 
of  the  Task  Force  organization  in 
its  initial  year,  College  alumni 
donors  to  the  Million  Dollar  Pro- 
gram increased  their  number  23% 
over  the  last  two  years,  rising  from 
962  to  1,185.  The  dollar  amount 
rose  from  $130,918  in  the  compar- 
able period  in  1974-75  to  $211,534. 
For  all  three  units  the  number  of 
alumni  donors  to  the  MDP  was  up 
from  1,090  two  years  ago  to  1,326, 
with  the  dollar  amount  going  from 
$141,000  to  $224,000. 

Even  at  this  early  stage  it  seems 
clear  that  the  dedication  of  alumni 
leaders  in  each  class  organizing  for 
person-to-person  solicitation  in  the 
Task  Force  format  is  having  great 
impact. 


Oinner  with  the  Vice-Chancellor 

Metropolitan  Area  Campaigns 
are  continuing,  doing  in  geographic- 
al boundaries  what  alumni  are 
doing  by  classes. 

An  innovation  this  year  in 
certain  cities  of  high  Sewanee  con- 
centration is  built  around  a  dinner 
for  prospective  donors  to  visit 
with  the  Vice-Chancellor.  Frankly 
aiming  at  increasing  the  member- 
ship in  the  Vice-Chancellor's  and 
Trustees'  Society,  selected  donors 
are  invited  for  an  evening  with  the 
Vice-Chancellor.  In  Nashville,  as  a 
recent  example,  about  seventy 
people  were  invited  by  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  James  Perkins,  C'53,  and  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Morse  Kochtitzky,  C'42, 
H'70,  for  dinner  at  the  Belle  Meade 
Country  Club.  Some  fifty  people 
attended,  including  some  candi- 
dates for  the  Chancellor's  Society. 
The  Vice-Chancellor  makes  as 
many  calls  in  person  following  the 
dinner  as  his  schedule  allows  and. 
all  persons  invited  are  personally 
solicited  either  by  Dr.  Bennett  or 
by  volunteers.  On  the  day  follow- 
ing the  dinner  candidates  for  mem- 
bership in  the  Century  Club  are 
invited  to  lunch,  which,  in  Nash- 
ville, had  Thomas  Black,  C'58,  as 
host  at  the  University  Club.  Approx- 
imately 150  people  invited  were 
solicited  by  letter  from  Mr.  Black. 
In  most  instances  the  Vice-Chancel- 
lor takes  advantage  of  the  oppor- 
tunity to  meet  with  area  priests 
at  breakfast  for  a  free  two-way 
exchange  of  information  and  ideas. 
This  program  has  been  followed 
in  Memphis,  Dallas,  Nashville, 
Shreveport  and  Houston;  and  has 
been  planned  for  Atlanta  and 
Louisville.  There  may  be  other 
cities  engaged. 

This  kind  of  drive  for  member- 
ship in  the  gift  societies  stems  from 
the  belief  that  people  give  from  an 
informed  state,  and  that  this  can 
happen  best  in  small  selected 
groups.

TEACHER  CERTIFICATION  APPROVED 


The  Tennessee  Department  of  Edu- 
cation last  May  approved  the  Uni- 
versity of  the  South 's  new  program 
for  preparation  of  secondary  school 
teachers,  just  in  time  for  certifica- 
tion of  the  first  four  students  to 
graduate  from  the  program. 

The  teacher  education  program 
at  Sewanee  is  designed  to  permit 
the  liberal  arts  student  to  obtain 
professional  training.  It  is  a  demand- 
ing course,  and  Dean  of  Women 
Mary  Susan  Cushman,  a  member  of 
the  advisory  committee,  says, 
"We've  tried  to  make  it  that  way." 
Said  Dean  Cushman,  "We've  urged 
people  who  are  interested  in  certifi- 
cation to  get  in  touch  with  us  as 
early  as  possible." 

Fire  Alarms 
Installed 

The  University  has  contracted 
with  Protective  Systems,  Inc.  of 
Chattanooga  for  installation  of 
smoke  and  fire  detection  systems  in 
fourteen  dormitories.  The  Vice- 
Chancellor  in  1972  appointed  a 
University  Safety  Council  which 
advised  the  regents  on  the  need  for 
sophisticated  fire  detection  equip- 
ment in  dormitories.  Only  Hodgson 
and  Emery  Halls,  formerly  the 
Emerald-Hodgson  Hospital  build- 
ings, are  not  yet  protected,  as  they 
became  dormitories  only  this  year. 

The  system  consists  of  798  heat 
detectors,  one  in  each  dorm  room; 
198  smoke  detectors  located  in 
halls,  basements  and  attics;  and  116 
manual  units  located  near  dorm 
exits.  The  heat  detectors  sound  the 
alarm  if  the  temperature  suddenly 
rises  ten  degrees  or  if  it  reaches 
135  degrees.  An  alarm,  either  auto- 
matic or  manual,  sounds  horns  in 
the  building  and  simultaneously 
rings  a  bell  in  the  fire  department 
headquarters,  pinpointing  the 
source  of  the  alarm.  A  standby 
battery  arrangement  operates  the 
system     if    electric     power    fails. 

The  Sewanee  Volunteer  Fire 
Department  is  holding  unannounc- 
ed fire  drills  in  dorms  to  familiar- 
ize residents  with  the  system  and 
improve  evacuation  time. 

Cost  of  installing  the  system 
was  $62,246.  The  University  is 
leasing  the  equipment  at  $1,483 
per  month  including  maintenance, 
with  an  option  to  purchase  later  at 
a  cost  of  $105,310.  University 
administrators  expect  part  of  the 
monthly  lease  cost  to  be  offset  by 
lower  fire  insurance  rates.  A  gift  of 
$5,000  from  an  anonymous  foun- 
dation has  been  received  toward  the 
system  and  the  University  is  seeking 
additional  foundation  support. 

The  company  is  still  installing 
the  alarms,  with  completion  ex- 
pected by  the  end  of  March.  Pres- 
ently completed  are  some  of  the 
oldest  dorms— Elliott,  Tuckaway, 
Selden,  and  Hoffman— with  John- 
son Hall  in  progress. 


Dr.  Charles  Peyser  of  the  psy- 
chology department,  another  mem- 
ber of  the  committee,  says,  "For 
most  Sewanee  students  the  program 
is  not  the  best  means  to  enter  the 
teaching  profession— we  recom- 
mend a  master's-level  program  after 
completing  the  Sewanee  degree. 
For  the  few  who  take  it  the  pro- 
gram is  time-consuming.  Only  two 
courses  toward  the  degree  may  be 
taken  during  the  semester  that 
supervised  teaching  is  done,  and  the 
practice  teaching  itself  does  not 
count  toward  the  degree,  necessi- 
tating a  summer  session  for  most 
students." 

Sewanee 's  program  required  the 
addition  of  only  three  new  courses 
plus  practice  teaching.  The  courses 
added  for  the  program  are  "History 
of  American  Education,"  taught  by 
Dr.  Anita  Goodstein;  "Biology  and 
Man,"  taught  by  Dr.  Henrietta 
Croom;  and  "Methods  and  Mater- 
ials of  Teaching,"  taught  by  faculty 
selected  from  the  appropriate  de- 
partment. Other  requirements  in 
addition  to  the  regular  bachelor's 
degree  requirements  are  an  extra 
English  course,  two  semesters  of 
science  laboratory  courses,  and  an 
extra  semester  of  physical  education. 
From  the  beginning  the  pro- 
gram has  been  developed  and  ad- 
ministered by  a  committee  that 
includes  students.  Current  student 
members  are  Lendell  Massengale,  a 
senior,  and  Jonathan  Engram,  a 
junior.  Faculty  members  in  addi- 
tion to  Peyser  and  Cushman  are 
Drs.  George  Ramseur,  biology; 
Marvin  Goodstein,  economics;  and 
John  Webb,  associate  dean  of  the 
College. 

The  three  seniors  who  are 
expecting  to  graduate  under  the 
program  this  year  will  be  practice 
teaching  at  Sewanee  Academy  and 
St.  Andrew's.  All  students  have 
both  public  and  private  school  ex- 
perience, although  most  of  the. 
work  is  done  at  one  school. 

Ginny  Deck,  a  fine  arts  major, 
is  teaching  art  under  the  supervision 
of  Academy  art  teacher  Rosie 
Paschall.  Also  at  the  Academy, 
Becky  Bragg,  a  history  major,  is 
doing  her  practice  teaching  under 
history  teacher  James  Miller.  Len- 
dell Massengale,  who  is  majoring  in 
biology,  is  teaching  in  the  St.  An- 
drew's science  department.  One  of 
last  year's  teaching  graduates,  polit- 
ical science  major  Cathy  Ellis,  is 
also  at  St.  Andrew's  as  a  dormitory 
supervisor.  An  accomplished  gym- 
nast, she  is  involved  in  the  St.  An- 
drew's physical  education  program, 
as  well  as  working  with  the  admis- 
sions program  and  the  art  gallery. 
Two  others  who  graduated  last 
year,  psychology  majors  Tyndall 
Harris  and  Pat  Kington  (now  Mrs. 
Alan  Johnson),  have  decided  to  go 
to  graduate  school.  Nancy  Jones 
completed  her  work  in  fine  arts  last 
summer  and  will  receive  her  B.A. 
at  commencement  this  year. 


Andrew  Young 


Andrew  Young  duPont  Lecturer 


Hon.  Andrew  Youn£  was  engaged 
by  the  duPont  lecture  committee 
to  speak  at  Sewanee  January  27.  The 
arrangement  was  made  long  before 
his  appointment  as  United  States 
ambassadpr  to  the  United  Nations, 
but  as  it  happened  the  speech  was 
made  just  twenty-four  hours  after 
his  confirmation  in  that  post  by  the 
Senate,  and  this  was  his  first  public 
appearance  after  the  confirmation. 
Reporters  for  the  wire  services, 
press  and  radio  converged  on  Guer- 
ry  Hall.  Lecture  chairmen  Dr.  James 
Clayton  and  Dr.  Don  Armentrout 
allowed  a  brief  press  conference  be- 
fore the  lecture,  and  the  Sewanee 
dateline  blanketed  the  country.  Re- 


porters pressed  for  a  clarification  of 
a  statement  Young  had  made  about 
the  United  States  entering  soon 
into  relations  with  Vietnam,  which 
the  State  Department  had  differed 
with.  Mr.  Young  said  engagingly, 
"When  the  State  Department  says 
one  thing  and  I  say  another,  the 
State  Department  is  right.  I'm  just 
an  unemployed  Congressman." 

His  speech  was  a  personal 
affirmation  rather  than  a  grappling 
with  issues.  It  was  well  received  by 
a  capacity  audience  of  students  and 
visitors,  and  the  purpose  of  the 
duPont  lecture  endowment— to  allow 
students  to  hear  outstanding  people 
—seemed    especially     well    served. 


New  Dorms  from  Old 


The  University  completed 
several  major  renovation  projects 
on     its     buildings     last     summer. 

Over  $60,000  is  being  spent 
to  install  fire  detection  and  alarm 
systems  in  all  the  dormitories.  (See 
story  at  left.) 

Extensive  renovation  of  three 
dormitories  took  place,  with 
$90,000  budgeted  for  the  work. 
The  conversion  of  the  former 
Emerald-Hodgson  Hospital  build- 
ing to  Hodgson  Hall,  a  dormitory, 
was  done  in  time  to  house  students 
for  the  fall  semester.  Improvements 
include  clothes  closets  in  the  rooms, 
new  tile  and  showers  or  tubs  in  the 
bathrooms. 

The  old  hospital  business  office 
became  Emery  Hall,  another  dormi- 
tory housing  ten  students.  Partitions 
have  been  added  rearranging  the 
floor  plan,  and  the  lower  floor  or 
half  basement  has  been  turned  into 
a  kitchen  and  lounge  area. 

The  third  dormitory  in  the  pro- 
gram, Cannon  Hall,  got  a  complete 
interior  facelift  including  carpeting, 
wallcovering,  paint  job,  rewiring, 
renewed  bathrooms,  and  a  comfort- 
able third-floor  lounge. 

An  apartment  for  married  stu- 
dents was  created  in  the  basement 


of  Thompson  Hall  in  the  space 
formerly  occupied  by  the  Univer- 
sity health  office. 

At  the  School  of  Theology 
extensive  work  was  done  on 
Bairnwick,  the  former  home  of 
the  late  Rev.  and  Mrs.  George  B. 
Myers  who  willed  it  to  the  school. 
The  first  floor  was  rearranged  to 
contain  offices  and  the  second  and 
third  floors  are  mostly  guest  rooms, 
newly  wallpapered.  The  budget  for 
the  Bairnwick  work  was  $45,000. 
It  is  now  the  School  of  Theology's 
Continuing  Education  Center. 

Another  building  project  of 
the  School  of  Theology  was  use  of 
a  $116,000  bequest  to  build  a  new 
apartment  building  for  married  stu- 
dents. The  building  contains  sis 
two-story  apartments. 

At  Sewanee  Academy  the 
second  floor  of  Quintard  Hall,  the 
boys'  dorm,  got  a  badly  needed 
renovation.  New  doors  and  frames, 
new  wallcovering,  paint,  mattresses, 
furniture  and  closets  to  the  tune  of 
$40,000  are  some  of  the  improve- 
ments that  greeted  seniors  as  they 
moved  in  last  fall.  Other  floors  will 
be  renovated  in  the  following  three 
years  according  to  a  master  plan. 


MARCH,  1977 

FROM  THE 

CHEMISTRY 

DEPARTMENT 

Favorable  reviews  have  been 
spotted  of  two  recent  books  by 
members  of  the  College  chemistry 
department:  An  Introduction  to 
Biochemical  Reaction  Mechanisms 
by  Dr.  James  N.  Lowe,  with  L. 
Ingram  of  the  University  of  Califor- 
nia at  Davis,  and  Chemical  Equilib- 
rium by  Dr.  William  B.  Guenthef. 
Dr.  Lowe's  book  was  published  by 
Prentice-Hall  in  1974  and  Dr.  Guen- 
ther's  by  Plenum  Press  in  1975.  Dr. 
Lowe  also  had  an  article,  "A  Pro- 
posed Symmetry  Forbidden  Oxi- 
dation Mechanism  for  the  Bacterial 
Luciferase  Catalyzed  Reaction,"  in 
Biochemical  and  Biophysical  Re- 
search Communications,  Vol.  73, 
No.  2, 1976. 

Dr.  John  L.  Bordley,  Jr.,  also 
of  the  chemistry  department,  pre- 
sented a  paper  at  the  American 
Chemical  Society  meeting  in  San 
Francisco  last  August  on  his  use 
of  the  computer  in  teaching  chem- 
istry. He  described  his  programs  in 
"Exper  Sim, "  an  example  of  which 
is  a  game  of  wits  the  student  plays 
with  the  computer  to  test  his 
knowledge  of  observations  in  quali- 
tative analysis  and  his  deductions 
from  them.  Dr.  Bordley  and  his 
family  are  at  Oak  Ridge  on  his 
sabbatical  year.  He  is  doing  research 
on  specialized  computers  for  inte- 
gration with  laboratory  instruments 
and  is  teaching  at  the  Oak  Ridge 
Science  Semester,  which  is  attended 
by  Sewanee  students  and  others 
from  the  independent  colleges  that 
make  up  the  Southern  College  Uni- 
versity Union.  His  replacement  at 
Sewanee  is  Dr.  Edward  P.  Kirven, 
C'68. 

Before  he  left  Dr.  Bordley  pre- 
pared some  videotapes  for  the  rest 
of  the  staff  to  use  for  instruction 
in  general  chemistry  on  the  com- 
puter, and  briefed  the  staff  on 
computer  practices.  All  Sewanee 
students  now  can  get  some  com- 
puter experience  as  part  of  their 
course  in  mathematical  logic.  It 
is  used  in  advanced  science  courses. 
In  quantitative  chemistry  the  stu- 
dent can  use  the  plotting  programs 
for  the  species  diagrams  in  Dr. 
Guenther's  new  book  to  test 
agreement  with  their  laboratory 
equilibrium  constant  experiments. 
In  physical  chemistry  they  compute 
some  wave  functions  and  orbital 
curves.  Dr.  David  Camp,  professor 
of  chemistry,  says,  "Let  me  assure 
old  timers  that  this  is  not  a  means 
to  avoid  hard  work,  if  students 
roust  do  some  programming.  The 
computer  will  only  do  what  the 
student  tells  it  to  do,  but  do  it  very 
fast.  Programming  forces  the  stu- 
dent to  put  down  the  problem  in 
Perfect  logical  detail,  every  step. 
It  is  excellent  experience,  and  a 
fine  teaching  tool." 

Dr.  Camp  and  Dr.  Guenther

rotensive  self-study  courses  in 
organic  and  quantitative  chemistry

Smart  Added  to  duPont  Staff 


Joseph  J.  Smart  has  joined 
the  staff  of  the  duPont  Library 
of  the  University  of  the  South  as 
director    of    public    services.    His 


last  summer.  "This  work  is  for 
chosen  students  who  give  evidence 
of  ability  to  profit  from  intense 
work  under  their  own  steam,"  Dr. 
Camp  says.  "This  practice  of  long 
standing  in  the  chemistry  depart- 
ment has  enabled  motivated  stu- 
dents to  accelerate  their  science 
programs  and  have  a  deeper  course 
experience  without  distractions 
from  other  courses.  It  frees  them  to 
participate  in  the  Oak  Ridge  Semes- 
ter or  research  here  with  less  dis- 
ruption of  their  schedules." 


work  is  largely  that  of  chief  refer- 
ence librarian,  but  the  library  staff 
has  been  organized  into  two 
divisions— public  services  and  tech- 
nical services— and  Mr.  Smart  heads 
up  the  former. 

He  moved  to  Sewanee  from 
Newport  News,  Virginia,  where  he 
spent  a  year  as  librarian  of  the 
Mariners'  Museum,  this  country's 
largest  and  most  famous  research 
library  in  maritime  history. 

Mr.  Smart  had  not  visited 
Sewanee  before  coming  for  his 
interview  last  July,  but  said  he 
"loved  it."  However,  after  seeing  a 
Sewanee  blizzard  in  January,  he 
remarked,  "I  thought  this  was  the 
kind  of  weather  I  was  leaving 
behind." 


Born  in  Philadelphia,  he  served 
in  the  Navy  from  1942  to  1946, 
then  attended  the  University  of 
Vermont.  He  graduated  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  with  majors  in  English  and 
Spanish,  and  did  graduate  work  at 
the  University  of  Arizona. 

He  taught  for  nineteen  years  at 
Tabor  Academy,  Marion,  Massachu- 
setts, and  was  for  four  years  direc- 
tor of  the  library  at  Cape  Cod 
Community  College  in  West  Barn- 
stable, Massachusetts. 

He  attended  summer  schools  in 
Guatemala,  Spain,  and  Peru,  and 
studied  at  the  Munson  Institute  of 
Maritime  History  at  Mystic  Seaport, 
Connecticut.  He  received  a  master's 
degree  in  library  science  from 
Simmons  College. 


Honor  Roll  Churches  Designated 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


While  the  University's  gift  repo 

based  on  its  fiscal  year,  July  I 
June  30,  a  numbei  oi  parishes 
which  have  qualified  for  the  Honor 
Roll  of  owning  churches  have  asked 
thai  ii'i  designation  be  based  on 
the  calendar  yeai  Accordingly,  the 
was  compiled  in  January  and 
certificates  have  been  mailed  to  the 
churches  achieving  this  distinction. 

On  the  Honor  Roll  are  churches 
which,  through  Sewanee-in-the- 
Budget,  Theological  Education  Sun- 
day or  in  other  ways  have  contribu- 
ted to  Sewanee  a  dollar  or  more  for 
each  of  its  communicants.  The 
communicant  figure  is  based  on  the 
most  recent  diocesan  journal. 

Dioceses  which  have  contribu- 
ted a  dollar  amount  above  the 
number  of  their  communicants 
are  Alabama,  Central  Gulf  Coast

GRANT  EXPANDS 

FIELD  EDUCATION  HORIZON 


Another  Sewanee-Vanderbilt 
Cooperative  Venture  in  Theology 

A  three-year  joint  program  in  field 
education  for  the  School  of  Theol- 
ogy and  the  Vanderbilt  Divinity 
School  has  been  given  impetus  by 
a  grant  of  $55,000  from  the  Booth 
Ferris  Foundation. 

"We  feel  that  this  will  greatly 
aid  us  in  expanding  what  is  already 
a  rapidly  growing  field  education 
program  here  at  Sewanee  under  the 
direction  of  the  Rev.  Harry  Pritch- 
ett,"  Dean  Urban  T.  Holmes  of  the 
Sewanee  seminary  commented. 

The  grant  will  also  provide  for 
a  director  of  the  joint  project  who 
will  serve  as  assistant  to  the  field 
education   director  of  each  school. 

Sallie  TeSelle,  dean  of  the  Van- 
derbilt Divinity  School,  said  the 
grant  "will  permit  the  two  schools 
to  locate  and  share  new  field  place- 
ments in  churches,  hospitals,  pris- 
ons, drug  rehabilitation  centers, 
homes  for  the  mentally  retarded,  and 
government  agencies— all  of  which 
serve  as  living  laboratories  in  which 


Conferences  on 
Spiritual  Direction 

Four  conferences  on  contempo- 
rary spiritual  direction  will  be  held 
at  the  University  of  the  South 
during  March,  April  and  May  at  the 
School  of  Theology's  continuing 
education  center,  Bairnwick.  All 
sessions  will  begin  on  Monday  at 
5:00  p.m.  and  run  through  Wednes- 
day at  1:30  p.m.  The  Rev.  Bernard 
Persson  is  leader  of  the  seminar- 
retreats,  which  are  designed  for 
clergy,  bishops,  directors  of  relig- 
ious education  and  others  interest- 
ed in   spirituality   and   counseling. 

Dates  of  the  seminars  are  March 
14-16,  March  28-30;  April  4-6;  and 
May  2-4.  They  are  identical  semi- 
nars to  give  a  choice  of  dates  for 
those  who  want  to  attend. 

Cost  for  the  session  is  $25  for 
tuition  and  $25  for  room  and 
board.  Applications  and  informa- 
tion may  be  obtained  from  the 
School  of  Theology,  Sewanee,  Ten- 
nessee 37375. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Persson  is  a  for- 
mer Benedictine  monk  and  priest 
who  has  also  served  as  a  college 
wstructor,  university  chaplain, 
^Wy  chaplain,  prison  chaplain,  and 
Psychotherapist  with  a  community 
mental  health  center.  For  the  past 
SU!  months  he  has  been  a  consultant 
to  the  chaplaincy  team  at  the  Uni- 
Versity  of  the  South  as  they  devel- 
oped their  team  ministry  to  the 
diversity  and  the  community.  He

therapy. 


the  minister-in-training  tests  both 
personal  faith  and  the  curriculum 
of  the  theological  school." 

The  Rev.  Harry  Pritchett,  direct- 
or of  field  education  at  St.  Luke's, 
likens  the  program  to  an  internship 
that  runs  concomitantly  with  aca- 
demic studies.  Field  education  has 
assumed  great  importance  in  theo- 
logical education  in  recent  years, 
he  says.  It  is  a  requirement  of  the 
Association  of  Theological  Schools 
for  the  parish  ministry,  and  Mr. 
Pritchett  now  gives  full  time  to 
coordinating  the  program  at  St. 
Luke's. 

Each  student  is  carefully  placed 
with  a  site  supervisor,  usually,  but 
not  necessarily,  a  clergyman.  One 
supervisor  is  Mrs.  Marilyn  Powell, 
head  of  Sewanee 's  Community  Ac- 
tion Council.  The  seminarian  works 
in  his  field  site  weekly  and  is  ex- 
pected not  only  to  learn  to  func- 
tion in  ministry,  but  to  reflect  on 
and  incorporate  his  experience  into 
a  personal  theology.  The  super- 
visors support  this  process. 

During  the  first  seminary  year, 
which  is  largely  given  over  to  Bib- 
lical studies,  the  student  partici- 
pates in  core  groups  and  during  the 
second  semester  explores  learning 
goals  and  possible  field  sites  in  con- 
sultation with  the  field  director. 
During  the  middler  or  "historical" 
year  he  spends  a  minimum  of  eight 
hours  a  week  in  the  field;  during 
the  senior  "preprofessional"  year 
the  number  is  increased  to  ten. 
Each  week  in  addition  he  meets 
with  a  core  group  convened  by  a 
member  of  the  theology  faculty  or 
adjunct  faculty,  where  his  experi- 
ence in  ministry  can  be  integrated 
with  his  growing  academic  insights. 
Adjunct  faculty,  all  of  whom 
have  had  training  in  group  work 
and  theological  reflection,  include 
Sister  June  David  of  the  St.  Mary's 
Community,  the  Rev.  Craig  Ander- 
son, T'75,  assistant  chaplain,  the  Rev. 
Harry  Bainbridge,  C'61,T'67,  Sewa- 
nee Academy  chaplain,  the  Rev. 
John  Janeway,  C'64,  T"69,  rector  of 
St.  Thaddaeus'  Church  in  Chatta- 
nooga, Mrs.  Alison  Pritchett  and  Mrs. 
Sue  Armentrout.  Of  the  regular  fac- 
ulty the  most  involved,  in  addition 
to  Mr.  Pritchett,  are  Dr.  Henry  Lee 
Myers,  Dr.  John  Gessell,  Dr.  Peter 
Igarashi  and  Miss  Edna  Evans. 
Field  work  at  present  centers 
largely  in  parishes,  but  also  includes 
an  active  ministry  to  Emerald-Hodg- 
son Hospital  and,  as  mentioned 
earlier,  the  Community  Action 
Council.  Only  one  church  situation 
now  is  non-Episcopalian.  Students 
may  preach,  visit  members  of  the 
congregation  or  patients  in  local 
hospitals,  etc.  Many  parishes  appoint 


lay  committees  to  work  with  their 
visitors,  thus  giving  still  another 
viewpoint  for  the  student's  self- 
scrutiny,  that  of  "the  man  and 
woman  in  the  pew."  Congregations 
normally  grow  quite  fond  of  their 
students,  Mr.  Pritchett  says,  and 
regard  them  as  assistant  ministers. 
In  the  past,  he  reports,  there 
has  been  considerable  difficulty  in 
finding  enough  suitable  sites  and 
able    supervisors,    who    must  have 


Mickey  Burns,  T'77,  who  does  field

special  directing  and  consulting 
skills  in  addition  to  professions 
grasp.  The  new  enabling  gran! 
should  broaden  the  range  of  possi- 
bilities and  add  ecumenical  breadth 
to  the  experience. 

Sewanee 's  School  of  Theology 
and  the  Vanderbilt  Divinity  School 
already  work  together  with  the  Joint 
Doctor  of  Ministry  program  in  the 
summer,  and  are  constantly  explor- 
ing other  avenues  of  mutual  benefit. 


Deferred  Giving  Still  Attractive 


The  Tax  Reform  Act  of  1976 
effected  a  number  of  changes  in 
the  laws  which  relate  to  the  tax- 
ation of  gifts  and  estates.  The  far- 
reaching  nature  of  those  changes 
has  given  a  new  significance  to 
estate  planning  as  a  means  of  re- 
ducing the  tax  burden. 

Unchanged,  however,  are  the 
advantages  in  personal  satisfaction 
as  well  as  tax  saving  which  are 
offered  by  a  deferred  gift  to  the 
University.  The  Pooled  Income 
Fund,  the  Unitrust  and  the  Annuity 
Trust  have  provided,  and  still  do, 
the  means  for  receiving  a  present 
deduction  for  a  charitable  gift 
while  retaining  the  income  from 
that  gift  for  life.  Charitable  re- 
mainder trusts  may  also  be 
created  by  will,  retaining  the 
income  for  the  lifetime  of  a 
spouse  or  other  designated  bene- 
ficiary,    with    similar    tax    saving. 


Edward  Watson,  C'30,  is  vice- 
president  for  deferred  gifts  of  the 
Associated  Alumni.  He  is  concerned 
that  not  more  of  the  alumni,  and 
other  friends  of  the  University, 
have  utilized  the  opportunities 
offered  by  the  establishment  of  a 
deferred  gift.  "The  success  of  the 
annual  campaign  for  current  gifts 
is  so  vital  to  the  welfare  of  the 
University  that  it  has  required  al- 
most undivided  attention  of  the 
development  office  and  our  volun- 
teer workers,"  Mr.  Watson  said. 
"This  should  not  be  construed  to 
diminish  the  importance  of  defer- 
red gifts.  For  the  long  haul  the 
thoughtfulness  of  those  who  have 
made  these  gifts  in  the  past,  and 
who  make  them  now  and  in  the 
future,  is  a  major  strength  of  this 
University.  The  development 
office,  and  I,  are  always  available 
for  consultation  about  the  means 
for   making   a   gift  of  this   kind." 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


What  1,238  Alumni  Think 


v  WELL,  WE  HAD  A  RATHER  ENLIVENED 
DiecUSSIOK)  ATTHE  Ai-L'MMl  MEETING 
TdWISHT"' 


JF/iaf  we  frankly  did  not  bargain 
for  was  the  outpouring  of 
reservations,  qualifications,  split 
answers  and  comments. 


Often  administrators,  in  constant  touch  with  a 
few  key  alumni,  come  into  deliberations  with 
"The  alumni  think.  .  .  ." 

While  the  heavy  weight  given  the  opinions 
of  those  relatively  few  who  work  for  and 
generously  support  the  institution  is  by  no 
means  to  be  discounted,  the  statement  itself 
has  a  built-in  inaccuracy,  as  the  present  writer 
has  1,238  reasons  to  know.  That  is  the  number 
of  alumni  who  returned  a  recent  opinion  survey 
questionnaire. 

In  an  effort  to  ascertain  across-the-board 
opinion  on  a  number  of  questions  on  which 
there  has  been  much  discussion,  the  survey  was 
sent  in  September  to  everyone  who  had  attend- 
ed the  College.  Another,  geared  to  their  ex- 
pressed interests,  followed  to  former  students 
at  the  School  of  Theology.  A  decision  about 
querying  the  Academy  group  has  not  yet  been 
made. 

More  than  half  the  College  alumni  wrote 
in  comments  with  a  vehemence  and  diversity 
that  did  not  show  up  in  the  overwhelming 
percentages  agreeing  with  the  various  propo- 
sitions offered.  Even  the  sending  of  the  ques- 
tionnaire raised  some  dust.  Many  said  they 
thought  it  a  fine  idea,  but  a  few  objected,  as 
one  man  did  in  response  to  the  invitation 
to  list  what  about  Sewanee  now  he  most  dis- 
approved: "I  am  opposed,  in  principle,  to  the 
deviousness  of  a  questionnaire  which  indoc- 
trinates rather  than  questions;  I  know  it  must 
be  difficult  to  get  money  to  keep  Sewanee 
functioning  at  its  present  level  of  quality,  and 
I  have  been  constantly  amazed  at  the  clever, 
yet  honest,  attempts  to  ask  for  funds  during  a 
time  of  rampant  inflation.  I  think  this  reaches 
a  new  low  in  financial  recruiting,  however  .... 
If  you  really  want  to  have  my  opinion  on 
matters  touching  Sewanee,  I'll  be  glad  to  give 
it.  I  loved  the  place,  and  would  love  to  see  it 
continue  prospering.  But  I  object  strenuously 
to  a  questionnaire  which  spews  out  information 
in  an  all-too-obvious  attempt  to  induce  guilt  in 
the  alumni  (I  refer  specifically  to  questions  no. 
14  and  15,  which  are  rhetorical  indoctrination, 
rather  than  requests  for  comment)."* 

Another  said,  "You  need  help  in  designing 
questionnaires."  We  do,  we  do. 

The  first  lot  of  surveys  returned,  from  the 
College,  was  run  through  the  computer  to  the 
extent  that  it  was  amenable  to  tabulation  and  a 
report  on  the  results  was  included  in  the  De- 
cember issue  of  the  Sewanee  News.  Several 
questions  required  hand-counting,  and  that  has 
now  been  done.  What  we  frankly  did  not  bargain 
for  was  the  outpouring  of  reservations,  qualifi- 
cations, split  answers  and  comments  (including 
several  full-length  letters,  some  of  which  we 
hope  to  share).  Three  professional  staff  mem- 
bers, including  the  present  writer,  have  read  all 
of  these  and  distributed  copies  of  many  to  the 
dean  and  other  members  of  the  administration 


and  faculty  where  pertinent.  Now  we  want  to 
try  to  pass  along  a  glimmering  of  what  emerges 
from  this  massive  examination. 

The  computer  showed  that  97  per  cent  of 
all  those  who  returned  the  form  had  a  "favor- 
able" or  "very  favorable"  attitude  toward  Sewa- 
nee.  Eighty-three  per  cent  said  they  would  be 
happy  if  a  child  wished  to  attend  the  University, 
Eighty-four  per  cent  had  made  at  least  one  gift 
to  Sewanee.  Sixty-nine  per  cent  had  visited  (or 
attended)  within  the  last  five  years.  Seventy, 
three  per  cent  indicated  they  were  Episcopalian 
an  interesting  few  having  become  so  because  of 
Sewanee  and  one  or  two  having  dropped 
from  the  same  influence. 


Academic  excellence,  small  size, 
liberal  arts  emphasis  lead 
for  appoval 


Question   no.   9  invited  completion  of 
statement,  "The  aspect  of  Sewanee  of  which  I 

now    most    approve    is    ."    The   most 

numerous  group  of  respondents  (288)  noted 
"Academic  excellence,"  with  some— but  remark- 
ably little— variation  in  the  wording.  Some  modi- 
fied this  to  "reputation  for,"  "commitment 
to,"  etc. 

Second  in  order  of  selection  for  approval 
was  the  small  size,  when  grouped  with  the  117 
who  listed  this  were  the  139  others  who  men- 
tioned "student-teacher  closeness,"  "individual 
attention,"  "close  friendships,"  etc. 

"Liberal  arts  emphasis"  drew  the  nod  from 
199  alumni,  again  without  much  variation  in  the 
wording.  One  added  "with  good  science  train- 
ing," but  it  seems  probable  that  most  of  the 
others  considered  science  a  component  of  the 
liberal  arts. 

Then  came  "atmosphere,  environment,' 
ninety  responses  grouped  in  a  catch-all  of 
intangibles— "academic  atmosphere,"  "beauty," 
"physical  environment,"  and  so  on. 

Seventy-three  alumni  liked  best  Sewanee's 
"holding  to  traditions,"  with  a  few  adding 
something  like  "with  ability  to  adjust  to  the 
present."  Many  went  on  to  single  out  for  dis- 
approval anything  that  eroded  the  traditions. 
Enough  disapproved  what  they  considered  a 
tendency  to  cling  to  the  past  to  form  a  con- 
sensus that  this  is,  indeed,  a  Sewanee  charac- 
teristic. 

Next,  with  sixty-one  finding  it  worthiest 
of  approbation,  was  "association  with"  i 
"influence  of"  the  Church.  A  number  noted  the 
opposite  on  the  "most  disapprove"  line:  what 
they  considered  a  lessening  of  the  Church's 
influence,  specifically  the  cessation  of  manda- 
tory chapel  attendance. 

What  fifty-seven  alumni  liked  most  about 
Sewanee  now  is  "coeducation."  On  the  other 
hand,  forty-one  listed  the  same  thing  as  what 
they  most  disapprove. 


•These  questions  dealt  with  financial  aid  to  students  and  C  Wete  ahnost  as  many  items  listed  for 
the  legitimacy  of  alumni  support.  See  below  for  the  strongest  disapproval  as  there  were  people 
wording.  filling   <-m+  +u~  i: *~* ,_.      ..  .     •  _.,« 


There  were  almost  as  many  items  listed  for 
strongest  disapproval  as  there  were  people 
filling  out  the  line.  Coeducation,  noted  above, 


"When  Sewanee  lets  go,  the  neve 
'dark  age'  of  academic  expediency 
will  have  set  in,  and  ice  should  all 
set  our  calendars  accordingly. " 


was  the  only  factor  that  drew  fire  from  much 
more  than  a  dozen  or  so  respondents.  Thirteen 
especially  deplored  "permissive  attitude,"  in- 
cluding a  number  of  specific  references  to 
drunkenness,  room-visiting  in  dormitories, 
and  drugs  (3). 

"The  administration"  or  singled-out 
divisions  thereof  (admissions,  development, 
public  relations,  dean,  budget  coordinator, 
placement,  Chancellor  and  Vice-Chancellor) 
were  listed  on  eleven  forms.  Several  mentioned 
the  termination  of  the  Rev.  William  Ralston's 
appointment  a  few  years  ago. 

Ten  people  most  disapproved  Sewanee's 
"isolation,"  although  several  recent  graduates 
liked  that  the  most. 

Some    of    the    aspects    most   disapproved: 

"That  all  things  change;  probably  for  the 
better  but  it's  sad  to  see  some  of  it." 

"The  unfortunate  lack  of  depth  in  the 
various  disciplines  due  to  small  faculty  size 
(I  know  of  no  solution)." 

"Coeducation,  and  to  judge  from  the 
Sewanee  News  and  reports  of  friends,  a 
certain  trendy  cutesy-poo  in  the  air." 

"Admission  of  women  on  a  percentile  basis 
instead  of  a  merit  basis." 

"Too  few  women  on  the  faculty  and  in  the 
administration." 

"Internal  strife  between  College,  Academy, 
School   of  Theology— Get  your  act  together!" 

"Admissions  staff  is  becoming  more  con- 
cerned with  G.P.A.,  S.A.T.,  etc.  than  the  quality 
of  the  person. " 

"It  is  too  easy  to  get  through  Sewanee  with 
a 'gentleman's  C  " 

"Disapprove  the  admission  of  more  and 
more  students  who  are  excessively  grade- 
conscious  and  not  willing  to  give  themselves  the 
opportunity  of  participating  in  the  entire 
college  experience." 

"Its  laxity  of  academic  standards.  It  does 
not  sufficiently  prepare  for  graduate  and  pro- 
fessional schools." 

"The  school's  continuation  of  a  narrow 
spectrum  from  which  students  are  drawn.  This 
breeds  arrogance.  Diverse  backgrounds  further 
each  student's  education." 

"The  same  as  with  other  fine,  smaller 
colleges:  cost  levels  that  require  us  to  consider 
state  university  opportunities." 


faculty  and  resources.  Too  much  is  spent  on 
frills  and  on  operations  which  are  not  essential." 

"The  severity  of  the  budgetary  restrictions 
placed  on  the  Sewanee  Academy." 

"Its  conservatism. " 

"Tenure  of  office  of  many  of  the  profes- 
sors whose  liberal  political  attitudes  are  often 
taught  and  forced  upon  students." 

"Too  conservative  in  matters  social  and 
political.  Faculty  weak  in  some  areas." 

"Liberal  trend  of  the  school  and  the 
Church." 

"Too  ivory-towerish  and  too  wrapped  in  an 
academic  and  social  tradition  of  family  and 
class." 

"Did  not  enjoy  being  at  bottom  of  a  social 
system  patterned  after  nineteenth-century 
India." 

"The  customary  excess  of  self-congratula- 
tion, something  that  will  never  be  remedied. 
Sewanee   would   not   be  Sewanee  without  it." 

"My  hope  and  expectation  (when  the 
pendulum  swings  back)  is  that  the  College  will 
teach  psychology  again  and  not  behaviorism 
and  the  School  of  Theology,  theology  and  not 
humanism." 

"Continuing  requests  for  money." 

"Her  lack  of  creativity  in  getting  message 
over  to  75%  of  alumni  who  did  not  contribute." 

"Integration." 

"Poor  record  of  racial  integration  and  con- 
tinuing, sometimes  insufferable,  elitism." 

"Allowing  individual  student  too  much 
freedom,  when  many  come  from  a  situation 
with  no  training  in  making  good   decisions." 

"The  administrative  attitude  of  'in  loco 
parentis,'  giving  students  little  say  in  determin- 
ing their  own  rules  and  policies." 


Most  disapproves:  "The  same  as 
with  other  fine,  smaller  colleges: 
cost  levels  that  require  us  to 
consider  state  university 
opportunities. " 


Even  the  sending  of  the 
questionnaire  raised  some  dust 


"The  football  team.  Its  $80,000  plus  budget 
's  not  worth  it.  Support  lacrosse  or  something." 

"Not  enough  emphasis  on  varsity  sports;

"Its  unwillingness  to  face  the  necessity  of

"The  inhibitive,  repressive,  picky  rules  and 

regulations  placed  on  the  students." 

"Soft  on  students— you  really  baby  them." 
—And    one    alumnus    most    disapproves   of 

the  fact:  "That  I'm  no  longer  there." 

Of  those  run  through  the  computer,  eighty- 
eight  per  cent  (963)  approved  the  require- 
ment of  mathematics  and  foreign  language  for 
admission  and  graduation.  Thirty-four  approved 
the  mathematics  requirement  but  not  the 
language.  Twenty-eight  approved  the  language 
requirement  but  not  the  mathematics.  Seven 
approved  one  or  both  for  admission  but  not 
graduation;  eight  approved  them  for  graduation 
but  not  admission. 

"Never  helped  me— but  I  guess  it's  good  for 
the  soul,"  says  a  physician  of  the  two  require- 
ments. 

Other  comments: 

"Although  I  detested  both  requirements 
while  an  undergraduate,  I  felt  that  the  discipline 


required  by  the  professors  in  an  effort  to  com- 
plete the  math  and  language  was  very  reward- 
ing." 

"When  Sewanee  lets  go,  the  new  'dark  age' 
of  academic  expediency  will  have  set  in,  and  we 
should     all    set    our    calendars    accordingly." 

"As  a  faculty  member  at  a  university  where 
such  requirements  no  longer  exist,  I  strongly 
favor  their  retention." 

"I  question  the  value  of  math  as  a  gradua- 
tion requirement  for  one  who  has  little  aptitude 
in  the  field."  (An  English  professor) 

"Both  are  needed  in  our  society.  However, 
the  entrance  requirements  for  language  could  be 
waived." 

"Each  is  essential  in  an  increasingly  com- 
puterized, international  world." 

"Foreign  language  yes,  math  no  for  gradua- 
tion. Except  for  a  major  or  minor,  math  require- 
ment unnecessary  in  age  of  hand  computers." 

"Make  the  requirement  meaningful.  No  one 
learns  a  foreign  language  at  Sewanee.  They 
simply  get  credit  for  the  courses." 

"These  are  both  fields  in  which  inborn  talent 
and  aptitude  are  significant;  there  should  be 
courses  offered  at  various  proficiency  levels  (i.e. 
'survey'  vs.  'specialist')." 

"If  you  don't  like  the  heat  get  out  of  the 
kitchen." 

Ninety  per  cent  expressed  approval  of  the  state- 
ment: "Sewanee  plans  to  hold  the  enrollment  of 
the  College  to  1,000,  with  an  admission  policy 
which  favors  those  most  prepared,  as  far  as  can 
be  determined,  to  benefit  from  the  Sewanee  ex- 
perience. Within  this  policy,  children  of  involved 
alumni  are  given  preference;  but  realistically, 
some  legacies  will  not  be  accepted." 

Though  there  was  ninety-per-cent  approval 
of  the  policy  as  stated  there  were  vigorous  dis- 
agreements on  both  ends  of  the  spectrum— from 
those  who  think  alumni  kinship  should  carry  no 
weight  to  one  or  two  who  expressed  deep  aliena- 
tion because  their  relatives  had  not  been  ad- 
mitted. Some  of  those  turned  away  had  done 
well  at  comparable  colleges. 

Ninety-one  per  cent  signified  agreement  with 
the  formulation:  "Sewanee  still  tries  to  admit 
the  best  qualified  applicants  regardless  of  finan- 
cial ability.  Today,  about  45%  of  the  students 
receive  some  form  of  financial  aid  (grants,  loans, 
jobs).  Last  year  $316,502  of  the  total  financial 
aid  budget  was  funded  from  endowment  income 
restricted  for  this  purpose,  $712,871  from  other 
restricted  sources,  and  $114,400  from  unre- 
stricted funds." 


"A  retreat  into  wealthy 
isolationism  could  destroy 
the  University." 


In  spite  of  the  overwhelming  approval  there 
were  many  reservations  along  the  lines  of  "As 
long  as  you  can  afford  it,"  "As  long  as  it  doesn't 
lead    to    financial    over-extension,"    etc.    Ten

THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


What  Alumni  Think 

(Continued) 


"With  the  number  of  students  who  receive  aid  and 
the  careful  admissions  policy — why  is  our 
alumni  giving  percentage  so  low?" 


"Alumni  do  represent  a  legitimate 
source  of  support — and  ought  to 
recognize  that  they  also  depended 
on  the  benefactors  of  the 
University  for  the  education 
which  they  received  there. " 


thought   the   use   of  the  operating  budget  for 
the  purpose  excessive. 

"With  the  number  of  students  who  receive 
aid  and  the  careful  admissions  policy— why  is 
our  alumni  giving  percentage  so  low?  Hesitate 
to  suggest  that  perhaps  a  minor  factor  in  admis- 
sions might  be  the  generosity  of  parents  in 
support  of  church,  educational  and  charitable 
enterprises." 

"More  should  come  from  endowment,  if 
possible." 

"Approve  with  qualifications.  Do  as  much  as 
you  can,  and  then  take  students  who  can  pay." 
"Approve.  The  best  experience  I  had  at 
Sewanee  was  gaining  the  friendship,  contact 
with  and  respect  towards  intelligent,  motivated 
men  from  families  with  little  wealth  or  social 
standing." 

"Disapprove.  Sewanee  should  be  an  elite 
school.  There  are  plenty  of  fine  public  institu- 
tions for  the  disadvantaged." 

"I  believe  someone  who  qualifies  or  earns  a 
scholarship  such  as  a  Merit  Scholarship  should 
receive  the  full  financial  benefit  regardless  of 
'need.'  It  is  unfortunate  and  an  inequity  when 
only  the  very  rich  or  very  poor  can  afford  to 
attend." 

"Disapprove.  It  is  unfair  to  students  who 
pay  to  help  carry  load  of  scholarships."  This 
respondent  and  others  are  apparently  not 
aware  that  a  student  who  pays  full  tuition 
still  pays  only  half  the  cost  of  his  Sewanee 
education,  so  is  still  on  'scholarship,'  though 
others  may  be  somewhat  more  heavily  subsi- 
dized. 

"I  am  a  perfect  example  of  one  whose 
whole  education  and  future  has  depended 
upon  financial  aid  and  my  gratitude  is  bound- 
less to  Sewanee  for  her  unparalleled  benevo- 
lence." 

"Approve.  One  of  the  most  critical  aspects 
of  admission.  A  retreat  into  wealthy  isolationism 
could  destroy  the  University." 

Endorsement  of  the  idea  that  alumni  represent 
a  legitimate  source  of  support  was  made  by  93% 
in  the  following  formulation:  "Private  education 
has  always  depended  on  private  support.  Sewa- 
nee's  student  charges,  in  the  College,  cover 
about  54%  of  the  educational  budget,  a  higher 
portion  than  is  true  at  most  comparable  colleges. 
Essentially  the  only  other  sources  are  endow- 
ment earnings  (at  Sewanee  about  35%),  and 
current  gifts  which  are  budgeted  at  about  11%. 
Alumni  represent  a  legitimate  source  of 
support." 

Of  all  those  responding  to  the  questionnaire, 
84%  had  actually  made  a  gift,  leaving  some  who 
approved  on  principle  but  had  not  yet  acted  on 
the  approval.  Both  figures,  compared  to  the  25% 
of  all  alumni  reported  as  contributors,  indicate 
that  those  responding  were  heavily  self-selected 
toward  those  who  do  give.  This  should  be  borne 
in  mind  against  the  temptation  to  extrapolate 
the  heavy  percentage  of  agreement  with  stated 
propositions  to  "the  alumni,"  most  of  whom 
have  not  been  heard  from.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  torrent  of  reservations  and  qualifications 
assume  greater  weight  from  being  voiced  by  a 
particularly  interested  group. 

Comments:  "Approve  so  long  as  the  alumni 
voice  is  respected  in  decision-making— not  a 
Sewanee  tradition." 


"Alumni  do  represent  a  legitimate  source  of 
support— and  ought  to  recognize  that  they  also 
depended  on  the  benefactors  of  the  University 
for  the  education  which  they  received  there." 
"Agree  and  think  we  should  do  better  than 
11%." 

"Should  take  advantage  of  federal  monies- 
too  paranoid  about  strings  attached?" 

"My  giving  record  has  been  poor  but  I  hope 
it  will  be  better.  If  alumni  don't  support 
Sewanee  should  anyone  else?" 

"Only  if  they  are  able  to  give  financial 
support.  Some  alumni  (including  me)  are  having 
to  save  all  they  can  so  that  their  children  will 
have  the  chance  to  attend  Sewanee." 

"Alumni  who  do  not  repay  a  portion  of 
their  debt  to  Sewanee  should  go  to  the  Seventh 
Circle  (Dante)." 

"As  I  see  it,  over  a  lifetime  I  should  give 
Sewanee  at  least  as  much  as  Sewanee  spent  on 
me  over  and  above  what  I  paid.  It's  the  least  1 
can  do  for  some  other  scholar  as  poor  as  myself. 
Have  you  considered  this  argument  for  use  in 
soliciting  alumni  donations?" 

"Disagree— what  about  dioceses?" 
"I   feel   obligated  to  support  Sewanee— it's 
like  an  unpaid  bill— that  other  45%." 

"Let's  get  increased  alumni  support  and 
reduce  student  charges."  (This  man  backed  up 
his  opinion  with  a  pledge  of  $1,000  a  year  for 
five  years.) 

"More  emphasis  should  be  placed  on  sources 
outside  the  contributing  alumni— perhaps  enlarge 
the  enrollment." 

"A  legitimate  source,  but  I've  never  come  to 
the  conclusion  that  they  owe  support.  Many  will 
want  to.  None  should  feel  they  must." 

"This  idea  is  good.  I  hope  enough  of  the 
successful  Sewanee  men  will  answer." 

"Many   want  worthy  tax  breaks  anyway.' 

"It  will  be  non-productive  to  increase  the 

student's  share.  Endowment  is  the  answer;  but 

how?" 

Many  express  astonishment  at  the  low 
percentage  of  alumni  giving,  and  some  offer 
theories,  like  the  college  professor  who  sur- 
mises that  many  alumni  are  in  his  field  and  feel 
their  first  obligation  to  the  institutions  where 
they  teach. 

It  almost  seems  that  the  gentleman  suspect- 
ing ulterior  motives  behind  the  questionnaire 
(quoted  at  the  beginning  of  this  article)  has  a 
point.  It  will  be  recalled  by  those  who  rece: 
the  mailing— all  alumni  of  the  College— that 
three  parts  were  included  to  save  postage.  In 
addition  to  the  opinion  survey  there  was 
closed  a  gift  pledge  form  as  well  as  other 
material.  Over  $90,000  was  received  in  gifts 
and  pledges  in  the  return  envelopes  that  ac- 
companied the  questionnaire.  As  reported 
elsewhere  in  this  magazine,  alumni  giving 
general  showed  a  dramatic  upsurge  in  the 
weeks  following  the  mailing,  and  the  poss1' 
bility  that  the  questionnaire  had  some  effect, 
along  with  the  personal  solicitations  by 
Operation  Task  Force  workers  and  who  knows 
what  other  factors,  presents  itself.  There  arc 
those  who,  given  the  crass  fact  that  money 
lets  the  University  run,  would  say,  "Viv* 
the  ulterior."

MARCH,  1977 

MEDIAEVAL 

COLLOQUIUM 

SET 

The  fourth  annual  Mediaeval  Collo- 
quium will  be  enlivened  this  year 
with  a  concert  of  medieval  music  by 
the  Collegium  Musicum  of  George 
Peabody  College  in  Nashville,  per- 
forming in  costume  on  reproduc- 
tions of  medieval  instruments. 
Purple  Masque,  Sewanee's  College 
dramatic  society,  will  also  steep 
audiences  in  the  period  with  two 
performances  in  Guerry  garth  of 
The  Farce  of  Maitre  Pierre  Pathelin, 
a  still-funny  play  written  in  about 
1465. 

Leading  speakers  for  the  pro- 
gram of  scholarly  papers,  critiques 
and  seminars  April  14-16  will  in- 
clude Christopher  N.L.  Brooke  of 
the  University  of  London,  who  will 
give  three  lectures:  "The  Cult  of 
Celibacy  in  Eleventh  and  Twelfth 
Century  Europe,"  "Marriage  and 
Society  in  the  Eleventh  and  Twelfth 
Centuries,"  and  "The  Case  of  Helo- 
ise  and  Abelard."  Daniel  Poirion  of 
the  University  of  Paris-Sorbonne 
will  speak  on  "The  Woman  in  the 
Roman  de  la  Rose,"  and  lead  a  sem- 
inar on  "Culture  and  Literature 
under  St.  Louis."  Gordon  Leff  of 
the  University  of  York  will  read  a 
paper  entitled,  "The  Concept  of 
Man  in. f-.-c- Middle  Ages." 

Dr.  Edward  B.  King,  C'47, 
Colloquium  director,  says,  "We 
have  tried  to  bring  into  the  country 
scholars  from  abroad  whom  people 
in  this  country  would  ordinarily 
not  have  an  opportunity  to  hear.  It 
is  a  service  to  the  whole  academic 
community." 

Participants  come  from  all  over 
the  United  States  and  from  Canada. 
"We  have  four  papers  submitted 
this  year  from  Canada,"  Dr.  King 
says.  Beryl  Rowland,  a  professor  of 
English  at  York  University,  Ontario, 
will  read  a  paper  on  "The  Legend 
of  Trotula  and  Medieval  Medicine." 
This  deals  with  the  role  of  women 
in  medicine  in  the  Middle  Ages,  or 
at  least  in  that  legend,  Dr.  King  says. 
Historians  are  coming  from  Caltech 
and  V.P.I,  and  a  philosopher,  Gerard 
Etzkorn,  from  the  Franciscan  Insti- 
tute at  St.  Bonaventure,  New  York. 
Janet  Martin,  professor  of  classical 
languages  at  Princeton,  is  on  the 
program. 


"I  believe  the  Mediaeval  Col- 
loquium, bringing  as  it  does  first- 
class  scholars  to  the  campus  from 
afar,  is  of  great  benefit  to  the  Uni- 
versity. Most  of  them  are  here  for  a 
week  and  they  visit  classes,  speak  to 
our  students.  They  are  entertained 
by  members  of  the  faculty  who 
thus  have  the  opportunity  of  know- 
ing them  and  talking  to  them  in  an 
informal  way.  The  University  in 
turn  comes  to  be  known  among 
eminent  scholars,  and  it  is  connect- 
ed in  their  minds  with  scholarly 
undertakings.  I  think  the  Colloqui- 
um does  a  great  deal  to  enhance  the 
reputation  of  the  University." 

Each  year  a  number  of  alumni- 
scholars  avail  themselves  of  the 
occasion  to  return  to  the  Mountain 
and  engage  in  the  interdisciplinary 
airing  of  research  and  ideas.  Among 
these  are  John  V.  Fleming,  C'58, 
from  Princeton;  Brown  Patterson. 
C'52,  from  Davidson;  the  Rev. 
William  McKeachie,  C'66,  from 
Toronto;  Jan  Nelson,  C'60,  from 
the  University  of  Alabama;  and  Joe 
Kicklighter,  C'67,  from  Auburn 
University. 

Dr.  King  also  emphasizes  the 
opportunity  provided  for  younger 
scholars  to  read  papers  and  benefit 
from  the  criticism  that  more  ex- 
perienced scholars  give  their  work. 
"Above  all,  there  is  the  opportunity 
to  be  stimulated  by  outstanding 
people  in  their  fields.  It  should 
enrich  their  teaching  as  it  does 
ours  here." 

Because  of  the  wish  not  to  limit 
these  opportunities,  lines  have  not 
been  drawn  closely  around  central 
themes.  This  year,  however,  Dr. 
King  says,  "A  theme  has  worked 
out  very  well  around  celibacy  and 
marriage,  the  role  of  women  and 
attitudes  toward  women,  and  there 
are  philosophical  papers  on  the 
medieval  role  of  man.  For  next  year 
we  are  tentatively  planning  a  theme 
—Dante  and  Dante's  Italy." 

Although  this  type  of  intensive 
gathering  together  of  disciplines  in 
medieval  studies  is  growing  in  num- 
ber, Sewanee's  retains  high  national 
regard.  Many  participants  have  writ- 
ten spontaneously  saying  that  the 
small  size  of  the  conference,  allow- 
ing the  group  really  to  come  to 
know    one    another   and    to    have 


Come  On  In  for  Greece  and  the  Adriatic 


Dr.  Charles  Binnicker,  C'50,  asso- 
ciate professor  of  classics  in  the 
College,  and  his  wife,  Meg  (Duncan), 
C'73,  will  lead  a  luscious-sounding 
instruction-cum-pleasure  tour  in 
Mediterranean  parts  May  31 
through  June  23,  with  the  option 
of  staying  longer  on  your  own. 
Alumni   and   friends  are  welcome. 

The  trip,  arranged  by  Clark 
Cruise  service  (Jim  Clark,  C'49, 
and  his  wife,  Cruse)  is  planned  as  a 
"pleasantly  paced,  thorough  exam- 
ination of  two  cultures  of  the 
past,"  according  to  the  announce- 
ment. Leaving  from  New  York's 
Kennedy  Airport,  the  group  will 
fly  to  Venice,  "the  seat  of  the 
Doges  and  their  Venetian  forces 
which  in  the  Middle  Ages  held 
sway  over  much  of  the  Adriatic. 
The  influence  of  Venice  will  be 
evident  as  we  motor  down  the 
Dalmatian  coast  through  Split, 
Zadar  and  Dubrovnik. 

"The  natural  bridge  between 
this  culture  and  that  of  ancient 
Greece  is  Corfu,  loveliest  of  the 
Ionian  islands.  Italian  is  the  second 
language  of  this  chic  Greek  para- 
dise long  held  by  Venice. 


fruitful  exchanges  with  the  leaders, 
as  well  as  the  beauty  of  the  setting 
and  the  warmth  of  hospitality 
shown  them,  sets  Sewanee's  Med- 
iaeval Colloquium  apart  from  the 
others.  "This  is  very  gratifying  for 
all  of  us,"  Dr.  King  says.  "Many 
people  work  hard  to  bring  this 
about."  Members  of  his  committee 
are  Professors  Brinley  Rhys,  Jacque- 
line Schaefer,  Stephen  Brown  and 
Eric  Naylor  (C'58). 

The  Mediaeval  Colloquium  was 
begun  with  the  understanding  that 
it  would  be  an  annual  event,  but  in 
these  straitened  times  nothing  can 
be  taken  for  granted.  "We  have 
some  funds  from  the  duPont  lec- 
ture endowment,"  Dr.  King  says, 
"and  enough  in  private  gifts  to 
assure  continuance  for  at  least  two 
years.  We  are  also  inviting  people  to 
become  patrons." 


"From  Corfu  we  ferry  to  the 
mainland  of  Greece  for  two  weeks 
of  breathtaking  scenery,  classical 
ruins  and  art.  Beginning  at  the 
oldest  cult  site  of  Zeus  at  Dodona 
we  will  also  visit  Delphi,  Olympia, 
Pylos  and  Nauplia  before  arriving 
in  Athens  for  five  days.  Then  it's 
home  again  on  June  23.  Or  you 
may  stay  in  Europe  up  to  twenty- 
two  more  days  using  the  22/45 
excursion  ticket  and  travel  at  your 
own  pace.  Clark  Cruise  and  Travel 
Service  will  be  happy  to  help  you 
plan  an  extension." 

Cost  is  $1,930  per  person, 
double  occupancy,  plus  $225  for  a 
single.  This  includes  all  transpor- 
tation, first  or  superior  class  hotel 
accommodation,  breakfast  and  at 
least  one  other  meal  a  day,  allowing 
for  individual  restaurant-browsing. 
All   meals   en   route   are   included.

COLLEGE  SPORTS 


Basketball 

The  Sewanee  Tigers  have  found  a 
lack  of  experience  taking  its  toll 
this  season  as  they  hit  a  late-season 
slump.  Although  eight  lettermen 
returned  to  this  year's  squad,  the 
graduation  of  four  starters  last 
year  has  proved  to  be  a  definite 
liability    for    the     '76-'77    Tigers. 

In  their  opener  against  Bryan 
College,  Sewanee  lost  a  tough  one 
to  the  Lions  by  78-74.  Offense  was 
not  the  Tiger  problem  as  much  as 
fouls  and  turnovers  were.  In  their 
over-anxiety  to  get  to  the  ball, 
Sewanee  allowed  Bryan  a  total  of 
twenty-four  attempts  at  the  foul 
line,  for  which  Bryan  was  success- 
ful at  twenty.  In  contrast  Sewanee 
cagers  were  successful  in  only  five 
of  seven  charity  shots.  Sewanee's 
bright  spots  were  the  Cash  twins 
of  Chattanooga,  who  combined  for 
40  points  and  31  rebounds.  Sewa 
nee  reigned  over  Bryan  in  rebound 
ing,   claiming    49    to    Bryan's    33 

The  loss  spoiled  Don  Milling- 
ton's  debut  as  head  basketbal 
coach  at  Sewanee.  Coach  Mill 
ington,  coming  to  Sewanee  from 
CAC  rival  Rose-Hulman,  has  devel- 
oped an  offense  totally  new  to 
Sewanee  players.  The  Tigers  are 
adapting  to  the  1-4  offense. 

Holding  down  the  wing  posi- 
tion are  returning  lettermen  6 '4" 
senior  Greg  McNair  and  6 '4"  soph- 
omore Don  Weber.  6'5"  freshman 
John  Southwood  is  developing  into 
quite  a  talent  at  this  position  also 
as  he  has  contributed  a  total  of 
63  points  to  the  Tiger  campaign 
so  far.  The  back  court  positions 
are  kept  tight  by  6'1"  sophomore 
David  Muckle  and  5'10"  sopho- 
more Joe  Thoni,  both  of  Nash- 
ville, and  both  returning  letter- 
men.  Muckle 's  cool  ball-handling 
has  left  many  opponents  behind 
in  smoke  as  he  employs  behind- 
the-back  dribbling  and  passing.  Joe 
Thoni  methodically  works  the  ball 
up  court  to  keep  the  Tigers  moving. 

Backup  performance  at  guard 
positions  is  offered  by  6 '2"  sopho- 
more Bill  Cox  and  6'3"  freshman 
Mike  Ferry.  Looming  in  the  lime- 
light are  juniors  Harry  and  Larry 
Cash  at  6'8"  and  6'7"  respectively. 
Both  return  for  the  Tigers  and  both 
are  doing  their  jobs.  Harry  leads  the 
team  in  scoring,  hitting  for  an 
average  of  15  points  a  game.  Broth- 
er Larry  is  close  behind  with  a  13.6 
point  average.  Both  are  averaging 
better  than  11  rebounds  a  contest. 
Rounding  out  the  Tiger  bench  are 
6'5"  junior  Tom  Sage,  6 '6"  junior 
Rob  Jones  and  6'0"  sophomore 
Paul  Cooper. 

Victory  came  to  Sewanee  after 
three  initial  losses  to  traditional 
rivals,  in  the  form  of  a  one-point 


squeaker  over  Covenant  College, 
67-66.  Standout  performances  from 
Harry  Cash,  who  led  Sewanee  scor- 
ing with  20  points,  and  Joe  Thoni, 
with  13  points,  helped  the  Tigers  to 
their  first  victory.  Tom  Sage  came 
off  the  bench  to  have  his  finest 
game  yet,  scoring  in  double  figures 
with  10  points.  Harry  Cash  actually 
won  the  game  for  the  Tigers  in  the 
final  three  seconds  of  play  with  an 
easy  layup. 

In  Wabash,  Illinois,  the  Tigers 
weren't  so  lucky  and  dropped  a 
64-62  contest  to  former  mentor 
Mac  Petty 's  Wabash  team.  It  has 
been  a  struggle  for  a  team  that  has 
gone  to  NCAA  Division  III  playoffs 
for  the  past  two  years  and  boasted 
a  two-time  CAC  most  valuable 
player  and  a  three-time  All-Confer- 
ence forward  in  past  season  show- 
ings. Coach  Millington,  however, 
remains  optimistic  in  rebuilding  the 
Sewanee  basketball  program.  The 
Tigers  stand  at  7-12  in  mid-February. 

Field  Hockey  Triumphant 

Sewanee  is  pioneering  the  growth 
of  field  hockey  as  a  major  fall  sport 
for  women  in  the  central  southern 
states  where  basketball  and  volley- 
ball   have    reigned    for    so    long. 

Marth  Swasey,  director  of 
women 's  athletics  at  the  University, 
believes  that  college  women  will 
find  that  their  desire  for  vigorous, 
fast,  exciting  outdoor  team  sports 
will  find  greater  lasting  satisfaction 
in  field  hockey  than  in  several 
other  outdoor  games  being  tried 
by  women  such  as  soccer  (takes 
too  long  to  develop  all  the  neces- 
sary skills),  speed  ball  (not  as  skill- 
demanding  as  soccer  nor  as  dra- 
matic as  field  hockey),  or  touch 
football  (never  quite  as  good  a 
game  as  tackle  football  which  is  not 
a  desirable  contact  sport  for  women 
in  her  opinion). 

Sewanee's  field  hockey  team 
beat  Vanderbilt,  U.T.-Knoxville, 
Centre  College,  Transylvania,  and 
Agnes  Scott  twice  each  and  Judson 
College  once  in  its  undefeated 
season.  They  hosted  two  two-day 
tournaments  and  won  both  of  them. 
They  went  on  to  a  regional  tourna- 
ment in  Greenville,  North  Carolina 
where  they  were  beaten  for  the  first 
time  by  powerful  Duke. 

The  women  are  only  beginning 
to  be  a  match  for  the  seasoned  field 
hockey  teams  which  abound  in 
colleges  and  as  club  teams  along  the 
eastern  shore  states  where  it  has 
been  quite  popular  since  its  intro- 
duction from  England  in  the  late 
1800s.  Representatives  chosen  from 
these  regional  championship  teams 
make  up  the  strong  U.S.  team 
which  holds  a  high  place  in  world

competition  year  after  year.  Such  a 
team  will  represent  the  U.S.  in  the 
next  Olympics. 

Sewanee  this  year  gained  six 
freshmen  who  each  had  from  four 
to  six  years  experience  on  school 
teams. 

The  Sewanee  field  hockey  team, 
first  coached  by  Martha  Swasey,  is 
now  being  coached  by  Dr.  Kevin 
Green,  an  economics  professor  at 
the  University,  and  assistant  coach 
Tina  Cross  Wicks,  a  graduate  of  the 
University  and  former  team  captain. 
This  is  its  fifth  year  of  play.  Kevin 
Green  played  hockey  as  an  under- 
graduate in  England  and  in  Belgium 
as  a  graduate  student.  He  finds  that 
the  greatest  difference  between 
men's  and  women's  hockey  is  in 
the  way  they  hit  the  ball.  Men  have 
stronger  wrists  enabling  them  to  hit 
the  ball  farther  with  greater  ease 
and  to  be  a  little  more  dexterous  in 
the  stick  work  of  maneuvering  the 
ball  in  tight  situations.  The  strategy 
of    their    games    is   quite   similar. 

The  women's  tennis  team  also 
had  an  unbeaten  fall  season,  the 
synchronized  swim  team  capped  its 
fall  season  with  a  win  over  the  Uni- 
versity of  Georgia;  and  the  volley- 
ball team's  play  has  shown  great 
improvement.  Synchronized  swim 
and  tennis  teams  will  have  compe- 
tition during  second  semester  also. 
Other  women's  teams  preparing  for 
competition  during  the  winter  sea- 
son are  gymnastics  and  basketball. 

Academy  Girl  Wins  Fencing  Meet 
Dorothy  Defore  of  Dhahran,  Saudi 
Arabia,  a  freshman  at  the  Academy, 
won  first  place  in  the  women's  foil 
competition  of  a  five-college  fenc- 
ing meet  held  in  Sewanee  in  Novem- 
ber. About  thirty  fencers  were 
entered  in  the  meet  from  Vander- 
bilt, Georgia  State,  Eastern  Ken- 
tucky, U.T.-Knoxville,  and  Sewanee, 
Dot  is  the  only  high-school-age 
member  of  the  University  fencing 
club,  which  planned  a  return  match 


with  Eastern  Kentucky  this  winter. 

The  rise  of  a  fencing  team  at 
Sewanee  is  concurrent  with  a  new 
popularity  of  individual  sports  that 
can  be  enjoyed  throughout  life. 
Fencing  is  a  lifelong  sport  par  ex- 
cellence, with  fencers  rarely  reach- 
ing their  peak  ml  tiTaitei  -the  age  of 
thirty.  Dr.  Arthur  Knoll,  associate 
professor  of  history,  coaches  the 
Sewanee  team  and  also  competes 
against  the  college-age  members, 
with  no  particular  advantage  or  dis- 
advantage because  of  age. 

Two  of  Sewanee's  fencing  team, 
Jeff  Wagner  and  David  Vineyard, 
had  prior  experience,  the  rest  learn- 
ing the  sport  after  they  arrived. 
This  year  the  experienced  ones  have 
been  out  of  the  running  in  compe- 
tition, while  two  others  who 
learned  at  Sewanee,  Buzz  Sawyer 
and  Allen  Peyton,  placed  in  the  last 
meet. 

Dr.  Knoll  says  that  foil  isn't 
really  a  spectator  sport,  because  the 
watchers  find  it  hard  to  tell  if  the 
fencers  have  been  touched  unless 
there  is  a  buzzer  system,  which 
Sewanee  doesn't  have.  Saber  is 
more  interesting  to  an  audience, 
but  is  getting  started  more  slowly 
because  of  the  expense,  though  a 
few  students  have  bought  their 
own  equipment.  Women,  who  have 
traditionally  fenced  with  foils,  are 
now  taking  up  the  saber  in  the  most 
revolutionary  aspect  of  this  ancient 
sport. 

Dr.  Knoll  began  fencing  in  the 
army  while  stationed  in  Tokyo  in 
1954,  and  continued  it  as  a  member 
of  a  fencing  club  at  the  University 
of  Heidelberg  in  the  1950s  and  '60s. 
He  also  coached  fencing  at  the 
Y.M.C.A.  in  Wallingford,  Connecti- 
cut. Of  his  Sewanee  fencers  he  says, 
"I  am  amazed  at  how  well  the  stu- 
dents have  done  who  have  just 
learned  since  they  got  here." 
Though  there  are  few  teams  to 
compete  against,  the  Sewanee  fenc- 
ing club  is  on  the  way  up. 


MARCH,  1977 


SEASON  SCORES 


Swimmin8 

Sewanee  was  hanging  on  to  hopes 
for  a  winning  season  despite  being 
short-handed,  with  the  season 
standing  at  3-3  just  before  their  last 
meet  February  19.  Coach  Bitondo 
had  only  nme  swimmers  instead  of 
an  ideal  sixteen  to  eighteen.  Scott 
Ferguson  qualified  for  the  NCAA 
Division  III  championships  in  the 
100  and  200  butterfly,  holding  the 
school  record  in  both  events.  In- 
stead of  remarking  on  the  Tiger 
meets,  Coach  Bitondo  sends  an 
SOS  to  alumni  to  cover  the  water- 
front and  turn  up  more  swimmers 
for  Sewanee. 

Wrestling 

Injuries  have  spelled  the  difference 
in  the  Tigers'  wrestling  results. 
Coach  Horace  Moore  said,  "We've 
been  destroyed  by  injuries— I've 
never  seen  anything  like  it  since  I've 
been  here."  The  squad  is  down 
from  seventeen  to  nine  wrestlers, 
with  some  expected  to  return  to 
help  out  before  season's  end.  At 
mid-February  the  record  was  3  wins 
and  4  losses. 

"Before  Christmas  we  had  the 
best  wrestling  team  we've  ever  had," 
said  Coach  Moore.  "Recently  Clem- 
son  beat  us  by  15  points.  We  had  to 
forfeit  18  points  to  them  because 
of  injuries,  so  that  made  the  differ- 
ence in  that  meet.  The  same  thing 
happened  with  Maryville— they  beat 
us  by  17  points  and  we  forfeited  18 
points.  But  we're  wrestling  a  Divi- 
sion I  schedule." 

Despite  adversity  Sewanee  has 
some  outstanding  wrestlers,  with 
both  senior  Kevin  Marchetti  and 
freshman  Tom  Jenkins  boasting  a 
10-4  record  so  far. 

Gymnastics 

The  gymnasts  have  just  begun  their 
season,  losing  their  opener  to  Mis- 
sissippi University  for  Women  at 
Columbus,  68-46.  The  Mississippi 
team  was  playing  its  first  home 
meet  in  their  new  multi-million- 
dollar  gym  and  were  "all  revved  up" 
for  the  win. 

Gymnastics  is  scored  by  from 
one  to  five  judges,  who  give  each 
performer  points  according  to  form, 
difficulty  of  the  moves  attempted, 
and  originality.  Team  scores  are 
made  up  from  the  top  three  per- 
formers   in    each    of   four   events. 

Mainstay  of  the  Sewanee  team 
is  captain  Nora  Frances  Stone,  who 
competes  in  all  events.  Suzanne 
Yandow,  who  also  competes  in  all 
events,  is  a  freshman  with  promise 
to  help  Sewanee's  team,  which  is 
rebuilding  after  graduating  four 
seniors  last  year. 

Club  Sports 

Lacrosse  is  starting  its  seventh 
season  of  little-heralded  play,  with 
Dr.  Arthur  Berryman  in  his  fifth 
year    as    coach.    Sewanee,    whose

entire  schedule  is  made  up  of  SEC 
powerhouse  teams,  has  compiled  an 
"average"  record,  according  to 
Coach  Berryman,  who  says,  "We're 
just  out  there  to  have  fun." 

A  new  club  sport  is  the  girls' 
soccer  team,  which  has  about 
twenty  enthusiastic  members. 

From  the  Stable 

During  the  fall  season  the  Univer- 
sity Equestrian  Center  took  several 
ribbons  in  various  shows.  In  the 
Penrose  Farm  horse  trials  in  Knox- 
ville,  Lucy  Paul  won  the  pre-train- 
ing  division  on  Alphonse,  and  John 
Tansey,  director  of  the  center,  was 
third  on  My  Charlie.  Lucy  took 
third  in  the  pre-training  division 
in  the  Atlanta  horse  trials  on 
Master,  and  won  the  third  training 
level  in  the  Nashville  horse  trials 
on  Alphonse.  In  the  Nashville 
pre-training  division  John  Tansey 
on  My  Charlie  won  first  place. 
Mary  Rose  Gilchrist  in  the 
Nashville  dressage  trials  achieved 
her   first  and  second  level  Test  1 


and  first  level  Test  3.  The  eques- 
trian center  also  hosted  its  own 
student  horse  show,  with  Tracey 
Wells    winning    the   most   honors. 

Three  new  horses  have  been 
donated  to  the  equestrian  center 
this  year.  Four  new  stalls  are  being 
added  to  the  stables,  and  a  heated 
office  and  lounge  with  a  bathroom 
is  being  built.  Also  under  way  are 
plans  to  improve  the  paddock  and 
ring  area  and  the  cross-country 
course. 

Plans  for  spring  include  a  gym- 
khana, another  student  horse  show, 
clinics  with  well-known  riders, 
several  picnic  and  overnight  trail 
rides,  and  a  combined  training 
event    at    the    end    of    the    year. 


Sewanee  has  its  tenth  winner  of  a 
National  Collegiate  Athletic  Asso- 
ciation graduate  scholarship  in 
Dudley  West,  a  senior  from  Frank- 
lin, Tennessee.  He  is  one  of  thirty- 
three  to  receive  the  award  nation- 
wide in  football. 

The  University  of  the  South 
is  now  tied  with  U.C.L.A.  for  sixth 
place  in  total  number  of  scholar- 
ships won  over  the  years.  In  Divi- 
sion III  it  is  second  only  to  Caltech. 

West,  who  was  named  the 
Tigers'  most  valuable  player  this 
year,  is  also  an  All-College  Athletic 
Conference  team  member  and  is  on 
the  AU-American  first  team  selected 
by  the  Churchmen's  Sports  Hall  of 
Fame.  The  6'6",  240-pound  line- 
backer has  ten  career  pass  intercep- 
tions in  his  three  years  with  the 
Tigers,  and  led  the  team  in  tackles 
in    the    1975    season    with    193. 

Athletic  director  Walter  Bryant 
described  him  as  "one  of  the  finest 
linebackers  we've  ever  had— out- 
standing not  only  in  performance 
but  in  leadership  qualities."  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Order  of  Gowns- 
men, Omicron  Delta  Kappa,  Red 
Ribbon,  Silver  Spoon  and  Welling- 
tons and  is  treasurer  of  his  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  fraternity  chapter. 
He  is  majoring  in  economics  and 
plans  to  use  his  scholarship  to 
attend  law  school. 

Dudley  West  is  the  nephew  of 
Mrs.  Henry  Cannon,  "Minnie  Pearl" 
of  the  Grand  Ole  Opry.

Alumni  Sons  and  Daughters 


Acting  on  an  inquiry  from  the  dean 
of  the  College,  Paul  Engsberg  of 
the  admissions  office  ferreted  out 
the  number  of  students  in  the  Col- 
lege who  are  sons  or  daughters  of 
alumni.  He  found  that  as  of  Octo- 
ber 12  there  were  106,  or  10.6%  of 
the  enrollment  of  999.  In  addition 
there  were  110  grandchildren, 
brothers,  sisters  and  other  traceable 
kin. 

The  dean  wondered  how  that 
compared  with  the  percentage  at 
other  institutions  with  enough  simi- 


larity to  Sewanee  to  make  the 
comparison  meaningful.  The  public 
relations  office  launched  an  inquiry, 
and  shares  the  results  herewith 
from  those  colleges  who  were  kind 
enough  to  respond.  It  is  more  than 
a  parlor  game,  as  the  percentage  is 
a  fair  indicator  of  continuity,  and, 
to  a  certain  extent,  esteem.  (Col- 
leges vary  in  the  weight  they  give 
alumni  relationship  as  a  criterion 
for  admission.  At  Sewanee  the 
weight  is  considerable,  but  not 
decisive.)

♦After  Sewanee  *W  1|at  ? 


Many  alumni  canvassed  with  a  recent 
opinion   survey,    while  approving   the 
retention  of  the  liberal  arts  framework  for 
the  College,    expressed  concern    that 
students  might  also  need  help  in  finding 
their  way  into  jobs.  With  this  stimulus,  the 
Sewanee  News  investigated  what,  actually, 
is  being  done  along  these  lines. 


"Liberal  arts  colleges  are  becoming  aware 
in  the  tight  job  market  that  students  need  more 
assistance  in  planning  what  they  want  to  do  and 
in  methods  of  job  search  than  may  have  been 
true  in  the  past."  Thus  speaks  Mrs.  Dorothea 
Wolf,  career  services  associate  in  the  University's 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

At  Sewanee  placement  has  been  a  function 
of  the  whole  University,  with  traditionally  most 
of  a  student's  advising  coming  from  his  or  her 
academic  department.  Since  1966  there  has 
been  a  separate  office,  which  now  calls  itself 
"career  services,"  as  being  more  descriptive  of 
the     assistance     available     than     "placement." 

Mrs.  Elizabeth  Chitty,  director  of  career 
services  (as  well  as  financial  aid),  and  Mrs.  Wolf, 
associate,  begin  when  a  student  first  arrives  at 
Sewanee.  Mrs.  Wolf  presents  their  department 
and  describes  its  services  at  freshman  orienta- 
tion. They  publicize  "choice  of  major"  seminars 
held  in  February  for  freshmen  and  sophomores. 
In  this  program,  begun  by  the  placement  office 
four  years  ago,  each  academic  department  con- 
tributes information  on  what  it  takes  to  major  in 
that  discipline  and  what  the  student  might  do 
with  such  a  degree. 

Students  of  all  classes  are  encouraged  to 
come  in  and  discuss  their  options.  Seniors  get  a 
monthly  letter  and  calendar  giving  schedules  of 
recruiters  visiting  campus,  graduate  tests  and  job 
opportunities. 

A  recent  letter  to  seniors  included  informa- 
tion on  recruiting  by  three  law  schools,  three 
business  administration  schools,  and  the  Marine 
Corps;  information  on  teacher  internships,  para- 
legal training,  National  Science  Foundation 
scholarships,  and  graduate  tests;  and  reminded 
seniors  to  get  forms  filled  in  for  their  credential 
file.  Mailing  recommendations  from  this  file  is 
an  important  part  of  the  career  services  office 
work.  Another  letter  notified  seniors  of  summer 
camp,  resort  and  park  jobs;  alumni  career  coun- 
seling in  law;  vocational  interest  test  for  sopho- 
mores;  teacher   certification    program;   Rotary 


scholarships  for  study  abroad;  Sewanee  Women's 
Conference  and  American  Association  of  Univer- 
sity Women  discussions  on  careers  for  women. 

National  Outlook  Improves 

According  to  a  recent  national  survey, 
corporations  expect  to  hire  more  college  gradu- 
ates in  1977,  and  large  universities  have  experi- 
enced an  increase  in  job  recruiting  on  their 
campuses. 

Engineers,  accountants  and  business  admin- 
istration majors  were  most  in  demand  in  the 
survey  mentioned,  done  by  Frank  Endicott, 
emeritus  placement  director  at  Northwestern 
University.  Teaching  graduates  were  in  for  the 
hardest  time,  according  to  the  survey. 

While  Sewanee  doesn't  have  many  cor- 
porations recruiting  on  campus,  the  career 
services  office  has  scheduled  many  interviews 
for  graduate  schools  and  is  developing  contacts 
with  alumni  who  will  help  graduates  get  jobs. 
It  also  works  with  the  alumni  office  on  frequent- 
ly-held career  counseling  sessions,  during  which 
alumni  return  to  the  campus  to  discuss  the 
outlook  in  their  own  fields  of  work  with 
interested  students.  A  number  of  these  conver- 
sations have  led  to  specific  placement. 

Our  career  services  office,  true  to  Sewanee 
non-conformity,  has  had  good  success  placinS 
graduates  who  want  to  teach,  especially  men- 
Mrs.  Wolf  sends  a  letter  about  our  graduates 
interested  in  teaching  to  150  independent 
schools,  with  encouraging  results. 


MARCH,  1977 


on  careers,  graduate  schools,  professional  asso- 
ciations, summer  jobs  and  student  travel,  and 
government  organizations.  More  up-to-date 
information  sent  by  corporations  and  graduate 
schools  is  kept  in  an  open  file  that  students  can 
consult. 

Students  who  want  to  work  during  the 
school  year  can  sign  up  for  odd  jobs  such  as 
leaf-raking,  baby-sitting,  tutoring,  carpentry, 
etc.,  and  the  list  of  names  is  circulated  among 
the  community  in  a  paper  called  "Skills  for 
Sale."  Some  students  obtain  considerable 
employment  through  this  route,  but  the 
community  of  Sewanee  does  not  supply  work 
opportunities  for  non-aided  students  in  the 
quantity  needed. 

A  new  project  was  begun  by  the  career 
services  office  last  year  when  they  did  a  survey 
in  cooperation  with  the  political  science  depart- 
ment of  its  graduates  from  1956  to  '66,  asking 
their  present  occupation  and  whether  they 
would  help  new  graduates  with  internships  or 
tips  on  where  to  apply  for  jobs.  A  similar 
survey  is  now  under  way  in  cooperation  with 
the  economics  department.  The  office  plans 
to  survey  about  one  department  each  semester, 
but  would  like  to  do  more.  "These  surveys 
cost  a  fortune  to  do,"  says  Mrs.  Wolf. 

Alumni  Are  Greatest  Help 

There  is  a  career  services  committee  that 
meets  twice  a  year  to  exchange  ideas  and  make 
plans  for  additional  services  to  students.  This 
year  the  committee  includes  Dean  Seiters,  Dean 
Cushman,  Dr.  Charles  Baird,  John  Bratton, 
Arthur  Schaefer,  Edward  Watson,  and  students 
Mike  Fagen  and  Billy  DuBose. 

"The  whole  committee  feels  that  alumni  are 
our  greatest  source  of  help,"  Mrs.  Wolf  says, 
commenting  that  of  the  political  science  gradu- 
ates responding  to  the  questionnaire,  about  half 
indicated  willingness  to  help  new  graduates.  The 
alumni  names  were  turned  over  to  students  who 
wanted  help,  and  it  was  up  to  the  students  to 
write  to  the  alumni,  so  the  placement  office  is 
not  sure  just  how  many  got  jobs  as  a  direct 
result  of  this  approach,  but  Mrs.  Wolf  says, 
"Everyone  who  wrote  to  alumni  who  responded 
to  the  survey  received  help." 

Students  Enjoy  Career  Workshops 

Another  project  that  has  proved  productive 
but  has  been  limited  by  a  small  budget  and 
smaller  staff  is  the  holding  of  career  workshops. 
Mrs.  Wolf  met  with  a  small  group  of  students 
last  year  to  aid  them  in  deciding  what  careers 
they  would  like,  using  game-like  tests  to  help 
them  classify  their  interests.  She  would  like  to 
extend  these  workshops,  but  in  competition 
for  her  time  are  all  the  other  projects,  plus  her 
jobs  as  coordinator  for  Commencement  and 
president  of  the  Tennessee  College  Placement 
Association. 

A  recent  study  by  the  College  Placement 
Council  Foundation  indicated  that  college  grad- 
uates are  becoming  more  dissatisfied  with  their 
jobs,  posing  further  challenges  for  placement 
offices.  Salaries  for  women  were  predictably 
lower  in  all  fields,  with  the  exception  of  eco- 
nomics, where  they  were  about  equal,  and  engin- 
eering, where  the  few  women  majors  had  higher 
salaries  than  the  male  majority  though  almost 
half  of  them  were  working  in  other  fields.  A 
salary  survey  of  Sewanee  graduates  from  nine 
recent  classes  was  done  by  an  economics  stu- 
dent, Marshall  Cassedy,  and  the  data  are  being 
entered  in  the  computer  for  analysis. 


A  1975  study  by  the  Southern  Regional 
Education  Board  projected  an  oversupply  by 
1980  of  lawyers,  dentists  and  architects  in  the 
South,  with  the  most-needed  workers  expected 
to  be  librarians,  social  workers  and  medical 
professionals.  Mrs.  Wolf  says  the  fields  she  finds 
it  hardest  to  place  people  in  are  public  relations 
and  advertising,  and  she  thinks  it  is  partly 
because  people  with  no  clear  plans  tend  to  think 
they  sound  glamorous. 

Any  Major  Is  Good 

She  sometimes  gets  questions  like  "What 
should  I  major  in  for  this  or  that  kind  of  career?" 
but  says,  "As  a  college  our  purpose  is  not  to 
prepare  people  for  specific  jobs.  Any  one  major 
is  just  as  good  preparation  as  another  if  the 
student  takes  the  right  electives— for  instance, 
for  a  business  career  one  should  take  economics, 
statistics,    computer    science   and   accounting." 

The  national  survey  also  made  the  point 
that  one  reason  that  liberal  arts  graduates  were 
in  trouble  in  the  job  market  was  because  of  lack 
of  business-oriented  courses— for  example,  many 
of  them  had  had  no  math  courses  at  all. 

The  career  services  office  gives  out  applica- 
tions for  Civil  Service  examinations  and  graduate 
admissions  tests.  Dr.  Robert  Keele,  professor  of 
political  science,  administers  the  Graduate 
Management  Test  and  the  Law  School  Admis- 
sion Test  at  Sewanee.  Edward  Watson,  C'30, 
who  retired  early  from  his  law  practice  to  move 
to  Sewanee  to  work  for  his  alma  mater,  has  been 
helping  students  prepare  for  the  LSAT  in 
addition  to  serving  as  superintendent  of  leases 
and  legal  advisor  to  the  development  office. 
The  psychology  department  gives  timed  practice 
tests  for  the  various  exams.  The  Rev.  Charles 


Kiblinger,  chaplain,  has  a  degree  in  counseling 
and  gives  students  different  kinds  of  tests  for 
vocational  guidance.  He  gets  referrals  from  the 
career  services  office  "when  people  are  really  in 
a  quandary"  and,  as  part  of  his  counseling, 
administers  personality  tests  and  IQ  tests.  He 
says,  "My  theory  is  that  vocation  is  a  lifelong 
implementation  of  one's  self-image;  my  ap- 
proach is  to  help  students  come  to  terms  with 
how    they    see   themselves   as   human   beings." 

Work-Study  Helps  Later  On 

Mrs.  Chitty  and  Mrs.  Wolf  say  that  the 
students'  work -study  helps  them  in  their  careers 
in  many  instances,  giving  them  work  experience 
they  can  relate  to  their  future  jobs.  As  director 
of  financial  aid  Mrs.  Chitty  has  the  responsibility 
of  finding  work  in  the  University  for  many 
scholarship  holders,  and  there  is  an  active  inter- 
change between  her  office  and  the  departments 
served. 

The  career  services  office  has  published  a 
booklet  for  seniors  called  How  Do  I  Go  from 
Here?  A  Handbook  for  the  Job  Seeker.  "One  of 
the  biggest  lacks  our  students  have  is  in  oral 
communication  in  an  interview,"  says  Mrs.  Wolf, 
and  the  booklet  is  designed  to  correct  this  lack 
as  well  as  give  helpful  information  on  other 
aspects  of  job-hunting  and  job  interviews.  She 
advises  students  in  writing  their  resumes  and 
covering  letters,  but  doesn't  do  the  work  for 
them. 

With  all  the  help  the  career  services  office  is 
prepared  to  give,  the  burden  of  initiative  is  still 
on  the  student,  who  must  come  in  and  ask  for 
help.  In  fact,  that  could  well  be  the  motto  of 
this  office:  "Ask  and  you  shall  receive."

AN  OPEN  LETTER  FROM  THE  ACADEMY  BOARD  OF  GOVERNORS 


Academy  Alumni: 

A  new  year  has  begun  and  it  presents  an  excellent  excuse  for  all  of 
us  to  reaffirm  old,  worthwhile  commitments  and  to  enter  into  new 
ones.  We  want  to  take  this  opportunity  to  follow  up  on  some  thoughts 
expressed  to  you  last  December.  We  ask  that  you  give  serious  con- 
sideration to  a  commitment  to  support  the  Academy.  In  doing  so,  three 
practical  questions  need  to  be  answered. 
Is  the  Academy  worthy  of  your  support? 

In  his  December  note,  Joe  Gardner  emphasized  that  while  there 
have  been  changes  at  the  Academy,  its  basic  objective  of  providing 
quality  education  and  a  maturing  experience  in  a  Christian  setting 
remains  unchanged.  As  regular  visitors  to  the  Academy,  we  can  attest 
that  these  objectives  are  being  accomplished  with  excellence.  We  would 
like  now  to  give  you  our  views  of  the  major  changes.  It  is  well  known 
that  the  Academy  is  no  longer  military.  There  are  many  of  us  who  very 
much  enjoyed  the  military  aspects  of  life  at  the  Academy.  Each  of  us 
must  now  decide  if  the  absence  of  military  activities  detracts  so  much 
from  the  value  of  Sewanee  that  we  do  not  want  to  help  preserve  and 
strengthen  it. 

Serious  reflection  on  our  days  at  the  Academy  will  reveal  that  the 
aspect  of  Academy  life  which  we  enjoyed  so  much  and  from  which  we 
derived  so  much  benefit  was  the  close  association  with  other  students 
from  diverse  backgrounds  and  with  faculty  dedicated  to  our  total 
development.  Even  without  the  military,  this  is  as  much  a  part  of 
Sewanee  now  as  ever  before.  The  fact  is,  the  less  structured  atmosphere 
which  exists  at  the  Academy  today  provides  better  preparation  for  life 
in  the  real  civilian  world  which  most  of  us  inhabit. 

Another  controversial  change  at  the  Academy  was  the  addition  of 
females  to  the  student  body.  The  questions  here  are  what  kind  of 
contribution  do  they  make  to  the  student  body  and  how  does  their 
presence  affect  the  experience  of  Academy  life?  The  considerable 
popularity  of  the  Academy  is  such  that  the  administration  must  be 
very  selective  in  admitting  girls.  The  result  is  that  the  girls  make  a  most 
positive  contribution  to  student  body  quality  and  as  graduates  will 
represent  the  Academy  in  a  way  which  will  keep  us  all  justifiably  proud 
of  carrying  that  honor.  Their  presence  also  creates  an  atmosphere  in 
which  they  and  the  boys  are  prepared  for  college  and  subsequent  life 
better  than  would  be  the  case  in  an  artificial,  all-male  or  all-female 
setting.  In  summary,  we  believe  that  the  Academy  is  well  worthy  of  all 
our  support. 

Does  the  Academy  really  need  your  support? 
The  answer  here  is  a  resounding  YES,  and  for  more  reasons  than 
one.  Funds  are  continually  needed  with  which  to  operate  and  finance 
scholarships  for  deserving,  high  caliber  students.  Support  through 


alumni  annual  giving  directly  affects  the  quality  of  all  aspects  of 
Academy  life  and  as  a  result  affects  the  quality  of  the  graduates  with 
whom  we  all  will  be  associated  by  reputation.  There  is  another  serious 
aspect  of  participation  in  alumni  annual  giving.  To  fully  appreciate  it, 
we  must  realize  that  Sewanee  as  a  whole  is  a  capital-intense  corporation 
which  must  deal  with  financial  institutions  and  individuals  who  are 
considering  major  financing  and  endowments.  Alumni  interest  in 
Sewanee  is  normally  a  significant -concern  to  the  institution  or  indi- 
vidual in  deciding  if  they  should  support  Sewanee.  The  percentage  of 
alumni  who  participate  in  annual  giving  is  commonly  used  as  the 
measure  of  alumni  interest.  The  importance  of  our  interest  as  expressed 
in  this  way  cannot  be  overemphasized.  Therefore,  we  believe  it  is  clear 
that  your  support  is  really  needed. 

Can  you  help  the  Academy  in  a  meaningful  way? 

To  manage  efficiently  the  solicitation  and  collection  of  alumni 
annual  gifts,  a  unified  fund  drive  has  been  established  under  the  name 
"Million  Dollar  Program."  The  MDP  serves  the  Academy  as  well  as  the 
College  and.  the  School  of  Theology.  While  the  name  is  intended  to 
indicate  the  magnitude  of  the  total  need,  it  might  convey  an  image 
of  such  bigness  that  an  individual  may  feel  the  kind  of  gift  he  can 
afford  is  insignificant.  In  fact,  not  only  would  any  gift  be  most  welcome, 
but  the  simple  fact  of  an  expression  of  interest  through  participation 
would  be  important,  as  we  said  earlier.  Each  of  us  can  afford  annual 
gifts  which  will  be  meaningful.  But  why  give  through  the  MDP?  The  MDP 
has  been  very  good  for  the  Academy.  More  funds  have  been  made 
available  to  the  Academy  from  the  MDP  than  have  been  contributed 
to  it  by  Academy  alumni.  However,  it  is  important  that  our  annual  gifts 
be  designated  for  credit  to  the  Academy.  The  Academy's  share  of  the 
total  fund  will  benefit  from  increased  participation  by  its  alumni. 

If  you  believe  as  we  do  that: 

1 .  The  Academy  is  worthy  of  our  support 

2.  The  Academy  really  does  need  our  support,  and 

3.  We  can  help  the  Academy  in  a  meaningful  way, 

we  ask  that  you  join  in  supporting  the  Academy  through  annual 
gifts  to  the  MDP.  If  you  still  have  reservations  about  one  or  more  of 
these  points,  we  invite  you  to  visit  the  Academy  any  time  it  is  con- 
venient and  determine  first-hand  if  you  should  participate  in  its 
support.  You  will  find  an  administration  eager  to  meet  with  you  and 
discuss  your  concerns  and  probably  (depending  on  when  you  grad- 
uated) a  few  faculty  members  who  would  be  delighted  to  see  you  again. 
An  even  better  idea  is  to  plan  a  weekend  on  the  Mountain  next 
Homecoming,  October  7-9.  You  will  enjoy  the  festivities  and  have  an 
opportunity  to  meet  other  alumni  and  attend  the  annual  alumni 
meeting.  We  look  forward  to  seeing  you  on  the  Mountain  soon.

COOK'S  CHOICE  OF  ACADEMY  NEWS 


by  Anne  Cook 


Mrs.  Cook  is  the  wife  of 
Sewanee  Academy's  dean  oi 
students. 


Beachcombing  is  a  tradition  during  the 
spring  holidays,  but  for  some  Sewanee  Academy 
students,  Florida  yields  up  her  treasures  before 
then.  For  the  third  year  James  Banks,  biology 
instructor,  will  take  his  marine  biology  class  to 
the  Florida  State  University  Laboratory  near 
Sopchoppy  for  Interim  Term.  Traveling  by  van, 
the  group,  nine  in  number,  will  drive  to  Florida 
in  one  day,  live  in  the  guest  house  facilities,  and 
study  elements  of  the  marine  food  chain  that 
make  up  the  shore's  environment. 

Besides  the  fun  of  collecting  all  kinds  of 
crabs,  shells  and  sea  anemones,  students  use 
their  findings  as  key  subjects  for  research  in 
the  laboratory.  They  uncover  a  variety  of  life 
that  amazes  them— and  they  experience  mo- 
ments of  joy  as  they  discover  and  learn. 

Students  may  observe  research  that  is  being 
done  on  the  college  level  in  the  lab,  thus  seeing 
how  scientific  research  and  study  are  directly 
related  to  the  problems  of  today.  The  economic 
and  ecological  impact  of  off-shore  drilling  is 
currently  being  worked  on  in  the  lab. 

Getting  to  know  one  another  brings  the 
greatest  challenge  and  best  reward  of  this  eight- 
day  period.  Students  do  their  own  cooking  and 
turn  shucking  oysters  into  a  party.  Visits  to  a 
wildlife  refuge,  snorkeling  at  night  and  tramps 
along  the  beach  in  the  early  morning  expand 
the  feelings  of  these  students  about  the  world 
around  them. 

"And  to  think,  before  I  came  I  never  knew 
there  was  all  this  life  beneath  my  feet,"  com- 
mented one  of  last  year's  enthusiasts. 

The  marine  biology  trip  described  in 
Cook 's  Choice  is  one  of  the  many  mini- 
courses  offered  to  Academy  students 
during  their  Interim  Term.  Dates  for  the 
Master-Students  Term  (as  it  is  also  called) 
will  be  March  10-23.  Students  will  sign 
up  for  courses  in  fabric  design,  Civil  War 
battlefields  tour,  advanced  mountaineer- 
ing, bridge,  rock  geology  and  darkroom 
techniques,  to  name  but  a  few.

ACADEMY  SPORTS 


Basketball 

The  Academy  basketball  team  at 
midseason  stands  with  an  even 
record  of  five  wins  and  five  losses, 
some  games  having  been  postponed 
or  canceled  on  account  of  the  bad 
winter  weather,  and  despite  the 
recent  loss  through  injury  of  one 
of  the  team's  leading  scorers, 
Jimbo  Hill,  the  Tigers  should  take 
at  least  an  even  record  into  the 
District  tournament  later  in  Febru- 
ary. 

The  team's  play  has  been  note- 
worthy, even  in  its  narrow  defeats, 
by  its  overall  balance  and  teamwork. 
All  of  the  starting  players  have  at 
one  time  or  another  been  high  in 
scoring;  Brantley  and  Hill  have  led 
the  rebounding,  Butler  and  Clay 
have  consistently  played  good  floor 
games,  and  Ruleman  has  been'stead- 
ily  able  to  make  the  big  play  or 
the  important  basket.  They  have 
been  competently  backed  by  other 
players:  Williams,  Carter,  Benning, 
and  Morgan. 

In  the  pre-Christmas  season, 
after  a  somewhat  shaky  start,  the 
team  came  together  to  win  four 
games,  all  against  more  seasoned 
competition.  By  far  the  most  satis- 
fying win  of  the  season  so  far,  how- 
ever, came  on  December  10,  when 
the  Tigers  visited  the  Saints  at  St. 
Andrews,  who  were  5-1  at  the  time, 
and  rode  home  with  a  fine  if 
narrow  win,  by  50-48.  The  re- 
match, sure  to  be  just  as  hotly 
contested,  comes  on  February  11 
at  the  Academy. 

The  Academy  girls,  handi- 
capped by  lack  of  experience 
against  strong  local  teams  as  well  as 
by  some  unlucky  injuries,  have 
nonetheless  produced  some  fine 
streaks  of  play,  and  the  Lady  Tigers, 
too,  after  being  down  by  a  wide 
margin,  roared  back  to  overtake 
St.  Andrew's  in  the  closing  seconds 
to  win  by  29-27.

Princeton  Gets  Double  Whammie 
Sewanee  Academy  pulled  out  a 
double  win  in  basketball  January 
14  over  Princeton  High  School.  The 
girls  easily  bombed  Princeton's  girls 
by  a  score  of  49-17.  All  three  of

Sewanee's  offensive  players  hit  in 
double  figures  as  Kathy  Patton  led 
the  way  with  twenty-four  points. 
Betty  Van  Hooser  added  fourteen 
points  and  Mary  Pope  Hutson  con- 
tributed thirteen  points  to  the 
cause.  Kathy  Patton  also  led  Sewa- 
nee in  offensive  rebounding  as  she 
cleaned  the  boards  for  ten  offensive 
rebounds.  Libby  Baird  made  a 
brilliant  showing  with  thirteen  de- 
fensive rebounds.  Catharine  Arnold 
and  Anne  Cross  aided  the  Sewanee 
defense  in  hampering  the  sluggish 
Princeton  offense,  which  could  on- 
ly muster  nine  points  the  first  half 
and  only  eight  in  the  second  half. 

The  Sewanee-Princeton  boys' 
game  proved  to  be  a  bit  more 
physical  but  Sewanee  managed  to 
edge  Princeton  53-51.  At  the  start 
it  looked  like  a  game  of  catch-up 
for  Sewanee  but,  by  the  end  of  the 
first  quarter,  Sewanee  was  in  com- 
mand and  at  the  end  of  the  half  it 
was  Sewanee  29-20.  Sewanee's 
first  half  sparkplug  was  center  Britt 
Brantley,  whose  height  helped  the 
inside  game  both  offensively  and 
defensively.  Brantley  hit  for  eight 
points  from  the  field  and  shot  per- 
fectly from  the  charity  line,  five  for 
five  free  throws.  In  addition  to 
thirteen  first-half  points,  Britt 
swept  the  boards  for  eight  rebounds 
and  managed  to  rob  Princeton  of 
two  points  with  a  finely  blocked 
shot. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  second 
half  Sewanee  seemed  too  relaxed 
and  allowed  Princeton  six  unanswer- 
ed points  before  scoring  a  bucket  of 
their  own.  Keith  Clay,  who  hit  on 
long  field  goals  all  during  the  first 
half,  fouled  out  midway  through 
the  third  quarter.  His  position  was 
taken  by  Jimbo  Hill,  who  put  the 
Sewanee  offense  into  gear.  Hill 
wound  up  with  twelve  points  and 
eight  rebounds  for  the  contest. 
Britt  Brantley  remained  high  scorer 
in  the  game  with  a  total  of  twenty- 
two  points  and  fifteen  rebounds. 
Bob  Butler  added  three  points. 
Keith  Clay  and  Scott  Ruleman 
rounded  out  the  Sewanee  attack 
with  eight  points  each.  Princeton's 
high  scorer  was  Bean  with  eighteen 
points.  The  victory  helped  Sewa- 
nee's record  as  it  now  stands  at 
5-5. 


The  Sewanee  Academy  girls'  basketball  team  posted 
a  6-12  season  in  their  second  year  of  TSSAA  play. 
An  opening  round  victory  in  the  District  six  Class  A 
playoffs  netted  the  team  valuable  experience  for 
the  future.

Soccer 

The  immense  popularity  of 
soccer  at  the  Sewanee  Academy 
might  mystify  many  of  the  Acad- 
emy's less-than-recent  alumni.  Had 
they  been  on  the  sidelines  at  the 
Sewanee-Tennessee  Military  Insti- 
tute game  January  27,  however, 
the  source  of  that  popularity 
would  have  been  obvious  even  to 
the  wholly  uninitiated. 

There  were  dozens  of  literal 
chills  and  spills  as  the  players  re- 
peatedly were  sent  sprawling  into 
the  near-frozen  water  and  mud  that 
covered  the  Sewanee  field.  But  such 
forbidding  conditions  seemed  only 


to  whet  the  appetites  of  the  yet- 
undefeated  Tigers.  They  made  sally 
after  sally  into  the  goal  area,  until 
Art  Cockett,  after  nine  minutes  of 
play,  finally  pushed  the  ball  through 
foot-deep  mud  and  into  the  mouth 
of  the  goal  to  score.  In  response, 
T.M.I,  quickly  rallied  its  defenses, 
and  for  twenty-five  minutes  scoring 
drives  were  frustrated  time  and 
again  by  T.M.I. 's  aggressive  tackling 
and  Sewanee's  own  mud.  When 
sophomore  John  Mulhall  finally 
broke  through  and  scored,  T.M.I, 
gave  in  a  little,  and  the  Tigers'  spirit 
grew  until  they  were  unstoppable.

Academy  Sports 

(Continued) 


Co-captain  Bayard  Leonard 
soon  gave  Sewanee  its  third  goal. 
Then  within  a  few  minutes  Archie 
Baker  dribbled  around  three  oppon- 
ents to  add  still  another.  The  final 
score  came  as  Baker  took  an  assist 
from  Leonard  to  earn  his  fifteenth 
goal  of  the  season  (he  is  only  one 
goal  away  from  a  school  record). 
T.M.I,  remained  scoreless  because 
of  the  sterling  play  of  such  defens- 
ive standouts  as  fullbacks  Chris 
Cook  and  Martin  Knoll,  and  also 
because  of  the  sure  hands  of  ace 
goalie  Melvin  Lane. 

The  5-0  victory,  however,  was 
about  what  Tiger  fans  have  come  to 
expect  from  their  team.  After  all, 
after  six  games  the  Tigers  are  aver- 
aging four  points  a  game  and  are 
allowing  opponents  an  average  of 
only  one  point  per  game.  Earlier 
in  the  year,  Coach  Phil  White  had 
commented  that  since  he  had  only 
two  returning  starters,  he  considers 
this  a  building  year.  Well,  if  this  is 
the  kind  of  ball  Sewanee  booters 
play  during  "building  years,"  then 
the  Academy's  enthusiasm  for 
soccer  is  no  mystery  at  all. 


Wrestling 

The  Sewanee  Academy  wrestling 
team  closed  its  dual  match  compe- 
tition for  the  season  with  Grundy 
County  on  February  1.  Although 
young  and  inexperienced  and  for- 
feiting 2-3  weight  classes,  the  wrest- 
lers represented  the  Academy  well 
with  a  3-6  record.  The  wins  came 
over  Tennessee  Temple,  Marion 
County,  and  Grundy  County.  The 
losses  were  primarily  against  AAA 
competition. 

Three  Academy  wrestlers  were 
seeded  in  the  district  tournament 
held  February  4-5.  John  Grainger 
at  112  pounds,  Mark  Gillespy  at 
132  and  Tim  Williams  at  138  were 
all  seeded  fourth  in  their  class.  Last 
year  there  were  four  undefeated 
Tiger  wrestlers  in  regular  competi- 
tion and  only  one  was  seeded  in 
the  tournament,  so  this  is  a  big 
tribute  to  the  strength  of  Sewanee 's 
team  this  year.  The  Chattanooga 
division,  to  which  the  Academy 
belongs,  is  the  strongest  in  the 
state,  accounting  for  the  difficulty 
of  getting  wrestlers  seeded  in  the 
tournament.

Brown  to  Be  a  Leading  Speaker 
at  International  Conference 

Dr.  Stephen  Brown,  professor 
of  philosophy,  has  been  invited  to 
be  the  leading  speaker  in  one  of  the 
four  sections  of  the  international 
medieval  philosophy  conference  to 
be  held  at  Bonn,  Germany,  next 
August.  The  conference  meets 
every  five  years,  and  the  selection 
of  Dr.  Brown  confers  worldwide 
distinction  on  Sewanee  among 
scholars  of  the  Middle  Ages. 

Students  Give  Blood  in 
Record  Numbers 

Sewanee  contributed  34.0  pints  of 
blood  to  the  annual  Bloodmobile, 
with  a  quota  of  200.  Dr.  Gilbert 
Gilchrist,  professor  of  political 
science,  who  is  chairman  of  the 
operation,  says  this  topped  last 
year's  all-time  record  by  thirty-nine 
pints. 

Among  the  donors  were  240 
students.  An  additional  380  volun- 
teered but  were  turned  away  be- 
cause of  colds,  recent  taking  of 
antibiotics,  etc.  Nearly  two-thirds 
of  the  College  student  body  of 
1.000  came  prepared  to  give  blood. 

Sewanee  won  two  plaques  on 
the  previous  year's  record.  Of 
seventy-three  chapters  in  Kentucky 
and  Tennessee,  Sewanee  won  first 
award  for  highest  percentage  over 
quota  and  first  for  greatest  number 
of  first-time  donors.  Again  the 
whole  community  has  full  coverage 
for  blood  when  needed. 

Faculty  Authors 

Dr.  Robert  W.  Lundin,  professor  of 
psychology,  has  contributed  two 
chapters  to  a  book  just  published 
by  Random  House,  Abnormal  Psy- 
chology: Current  Perspectives.  The 
chapters  are  entitled  "The  Behavior- 
ist  Perspective  of  Abnormal  Be- 
havior" and  "The  Neuroses."  A 
biographical  sketch  of  Dr.  Lundin 
will  appear  in  the  forthcoming 
eighth  edition  of  The  International 
Authors  and  Writers  Who's  Who 
published   at  Cambridge,  England. 


ON  AND  OFF 

THE 

MOUNTAIN 


Dr.  James  C.  Davidheiser,  assistant 
professor  of  German,  had  an  article 
scheduled  for  publication  in  the 
January-February  issue  of  the  Mod- 
ern Language  Journal,  titled  "An 
Interdisciplinary  Approach  to  the 
Teaching  of  Foreign  Literature." 
It  describes  model  courses  involving 
the  combination  of  foreign  litera- 
ture, music  and  history,  along  with 
problems  involved  and  possible 
solutions.  He  also  was  selected  to 
present  a  paper  at  the  Twentieth 
Century  Literature  Conference  held 
at  the  University  of  Louisville 
February  24-25,  "Aspects  of  Time 
in  Franz  Werfel's  Historical  Novel, 
The  Forty  Days  of  Musa  Dagh." 
The  conference  chairman  wrote 
him:  "The  committee  was  deluged 
with  a  record  number  of  papers 
and  found  itself  forced  to  eliminate 
very  good  ones  because  of  limits 
set  to  the  length  of  the  conference. 
You  are,  therefore,  to  be  doubly 
congratulated."  Dr.  Davidheiser  is 
in  his  first  year  on  the  University 
faculty,  coming  from  the  Univer-

10-12  in  Nashville.  His  topic: 
"Initiating  an  Outdoor  Education 
Program." 

During  1976  he  was  instru- 
mental in  establishing  the  Smoky 
Mountain  Nordic  Ski  Patrol  and 
was  appointed  as  its  first  patrol 
leader.  John  Henry  Looney,  C'78, 
passed  the  basic  requirements  to  be 
a  member  of  the  service  and  rescue

FIELD  STUDY  IN  THE   PHILIPPINES 


Anthropology  as  a  discipline  was  intro- 
duced at  the  University  of  the  South  in 
1972,   with  Mary  Jo  Wheeler-Smith 
as  its  first  and  present  assistant  professor. 
One  of  the  earliest  graduates  to  have 
taken  courses  in  the  subject  was  given  a 
research  job  in  the  field,  and  the  Sewanee 
News  is  pleased  to  have  this  account  of 
her  work,  written  by  request,  as  an 
illustration  of  what  may  be  done  with 
the  new  (for  Sewanee)  discipline.  Mrs. 
Stapleton  's  field  work  was  funded  by  the 
Human   Lactation    Center,    Westport, 
Connecticut,  which  in  turn  was  created 
and  funded  by  the  U.  S.  Agency  for 
International  Development   (USAID). 

Lee  Stapleton  is  the  wife  of  the  Rev. 
Archie  Stapleton,  T'59,  rector  of  Otey 
Parish.  The  mother  of  five  children,  she 
returned  to  college  and  was  graduated 
with  honors  in  1975,  achieving  election 
to  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  She  majored  in  fine 
arts  but  also  studied  anthropology  with 
Mrs.  Wheeler-Smith. 

Mrs.  Stapleton   was  one  of  four 
women  from  among  many  working  in 
various  parts  of  the   "Third  World" 
chosen  to  present  her  findings  to  an 
International  Conference  on  Human 
Lactation  in  New  York  City  March  4. 
The  conference  was  co-sponsored  by 
the  Human  Lactation  Center  and  the 
New  York  Academy  of  Science  and 
keynoted  by  Margaret  Mead.  The  moti- 
vation for  the  research  was  summarized 
in  an  editorial  called  "Let's  Listen  to 
the  Mothers"  in  the  Lactation  Review, 
1976  Vol.  I,  No.  2:  "Those  of  us 
interested  in   nutrition,   health   and 
survival  through  breastfeeding  need  to 
enter  into  a  dialogue  with  women,  not 
make    mandates    unilaterally    which 
regulate  their  acts.  We  must  ask  them 
what  they  want,  under  what  circum- 
stances they  can  breastfeed,  and  what 
we  can  do  to  help  them.  " 


Lyn  Hutchinson 


By  Lee  Stapleton,  C75 


In  August,  1976,  I  returned  to  a  village  in 
the  Philippines  that  in  the  course  of  ten  years' 
residence  between  1959  and  1969  had  become 
very  familiar  to  me  and  very  dear  as  well.  Two 
of  my  children  had  been  bom  in  Sagada;  all  five 
had  roots  there.  My  own  ties  with  the  place  were 
profound.  I  had  arrived  soon  after  my  husband's 
three  years  at  St.  Luke's  and  his  ordination  to 
the  diaconate,  a  young  and  inexperienced  wife 
and  mother,  and  had  reached  a  measure  of 
maturity  among  the  Igorot  women  of  the  com- 
munity who  shaped  my  growth  and  influenced 
my  ideas  of  childrearing,  mothering  and  life  in 
general.  Under  their  careful  guidance,  I  learned 
to  raise  cabbages  and  chickens  as  well  as  children. 
I  returned  to  the  village  last  August  after 
seven  years'  absence  in  a  somewhat  different 
role,  that  of  an  anthropological  researcher.  How- 
ever, since  my  basic  approach  to  the  task  of 
gathering  data  was  to  seek  out  women  in  their 
homes  and  gathering-places,  and  to  listen,  re- 
entry into  the  community  presented  few  prob- 
lems. My  new  role  was  not  radically  different 
from  my  old  one.  Renewing  old  ties,  I  was 
warmly  received. 

I  did  not  return  alone.  Some  of  the  affection 
with  which  I  was  greeted  was  shared  by  Margaret, 
our  seven-year-old  daughter,  bom  in  Sagada. 
Her  participation  was  rewarding  for  her  and 
enhanced  my  perception  of  the  experiences 
and  events  of  those  three  months,  for  though  I 
was  returning  to  a  place  and  to  people  that  I 
knew  well,  she  was  seeing  her  birthplace  for  the 
first  time.  I  had  no  idea  how  a  seven-year-old 
would  react  to  being  embraced  and  held  by 
old  family  fnends  who  happened  to  be  wearing 
loin-cloths  and  carrying  spears.  She  adjusted 
to  these  new  experiences,  to  the  new  faces  and 
the  unfamiliar  landscape,  to  exotic  foods  and 
new  demands,  with  poise  and  serenity. 

These  experiences  included  travel  over 
precipitous  mountainsides  in  primitive  convey- 
ances at  the  height  of  the  monsoon  season- 
often  we  waited  for  hours  while  landslides  were 
cleared  from  trails.  We  arrived  in  the  Philippines 
during  a  period  of  seismic  activity,  and  there 
were  almost  daily  quakes  and  tremors.  Rainfall 
during  the  first  four  weeks  of  the  field  study 
period  averaged  four  inches  daily.  The  afternoon 
rains  curtailed  Maggie's  outdoor  activities  and, 
in  an  environment  where  there  were  no  toys  and 
few  amenities,  she  learned  as  an  Igorot  child 
does  to  enjoy  stories  and  tales  told  by  the  light 
of  the  evening  cookfires.  We  had  settled  com- 
fortably into  a  fairly  typical  Igorot  household 
where  four  generations  came  and  went,  and 
Maggie  soon  became  a  part  of  their  daily  activi- 
ties, feeding  chickens  and  pigs,  gathering  fire- 
wood, threshing  rice  and  millet,  tending  moun- 
tainside ricefields  and  swidden-plots,  visiting 
kinsmen  in  neighboring  villages.  Her  adaptation 
to  family  and  village  life  also  made  my  work 
easier:  she  often  represented  me  (accompanied 
by  another  'family'  member)  at  wakes,  burials 
and  wedding  feasts;  and  her  enthusiastic  par- 
ticipation in  the  agricultural  cycle  left  me  free 
to  devote  myself  to  the  work  I  had  come  to  do.

Into  the  Twentieth  Century 

My  main  task  was  to  discover,  through  fairly 
unstructured  discussion  and  dialogue  with 
village  women,  to  what  degree  acculturative 
change  had  affected  their  lifestyles,  particularly 
behavior  associated  with  infant  feeding  and 
weaning  practices  (such  concern  is  highly 
appropriate  in  a  setting  where  breastfeeding  is 
the  only  safe  and  economically  feasible  means 
of  nourishing  infants).  Most  of  the  women  I  met 
and  talked  with  are  beginning  to  be  affected  by 
major  cultural  change.  However,  their  lives 
are  still  characterized  by  a  daily  struggle  to  keep 
themselves  and  their  families  fed  and  cared  for. 
In  this  subsistence-agricultural  setting,  every- 
thing is  harder  and  requires  major  expenditures 
of  human  energy  and  time;  current  worldwide 
concern  for  the  health  of  the  infant  and  wean- 
ling demands  that  these  women's  priorities 
for  themselves  and  their  children  be  determined 
and  clarified.  Such  a  focus,  an  attempt  to  under- 
stand how  women  respond  to  dramatic  cultural 
change— and  the  exigencies  of  their  daily  life- 
should  help  to  explain  and  anticipate  changes 
related  to  feeding  and  health  care  of  small 
children.  My  specific  goal  was  to  find  out 
whether  Sagada's  integration  into  the  twentieth 
century  was  being  accomplished  in  a  manner 
that  made  breastfeeding  difficult  or  easy  to 
discard. 

The  data  for  the  study  were  based  on 
meetings  with  four  informal  discussion  groups 
(mostly  neighborhood  groupings),  involving 
a  total  of  twenty-four  women  and  about  ten 
hours  of  discussion  time.  Verbatim  transcripts

were  made  of  all  such  meetings.  In  an  attempt 
to  keep  group  composition  in  line  with  com- 
munity social  and  economic  levels,  I  met  with 
two  groups  from  illiterate  subsistence  farm 
families,  one  a  mixture  of  women  who  farm 
and  tend  small  family-owned  stores,  and  a 
fourth  composed  of  teachers  (three  of  these 
had  done  work  beyond  the  master's  level, 
although  their  own  mothers  had  been  illiterate 
farmers). 

In  addition  to  the  group  meetings,  there 
were  six  individual  interviews.  Informants 
ranged  from  a  nineteen-year-old  primipara 
to  a  woman  with  forty-five  grandchildren  and 
six  great-grandchildren.  Two  of  the  six  were 
young  schoolteachers;  the  rest  were  subsistence 
farmers  or  farmers  and  part-time  storekeepers. 

Were  Head-hunters 

The  village  of  Sagada,  the  setting  for  the 
field  study,  is  one  mile  above  sea  level  in  a  high 
valley  of  the  Cordillera  Central  Range  of 
northern  Luzon.  It  consists  of  approximately 
2,500  persons  living  in  close  proximity  and 
12,000  living  in  hamlets  up  to  five  kilometers 
away.  The  language  spoken  is  Sagada  Igorot; 
there  is  little  bilingualism  among  older  persons, 
and  discussions  and  interviews  were  conducted 
in  Igorot.  The  main  occupation  of  Sagadans  is 
subsistence  agriculture  based  on  rice  grown  in 
mountainside  terraces  and  root  crops  and  other 
vegetables  grown  in  swiddens  and  in  gardens 
within  the  village.  Approximately  75  per  cent  of 
informants  contacted  in  this  study  were  actively 
engaged  in  agriculture. 

The  mountain  province  of  which  Sagada  is  a 
part  is  an  aggregation  of  tribal  groups,  formerly 
aboriginal  head-hunting  societies.  However,  it  is 
also  an  area  of  rapid  social  change  resulting  from 
external  influences  and  contacts. 

Money  income  in  the  village  ranges  from  the 


meager  earnings  of  fanners  to  those  of  relatively 
prosperous  storekeepers  and  professional 
persons— priests,  doctors,  nurses  and  teachers. 
About  25  per  cent  of  informants  in  the  study 
were  from  the  latter  group;  but  their  incomes 
still  averaged  less  than  $100  per  month. 

The  community  exhibits  typically  modem 
and  traditional  types  of  leadership,  which 
sometimes  conflict.  Social  cohesion  exists  on 
many  levels,  but  the  highest  value  is  placed  on 
the  kin  group.  This  made  my  relationship 
with  a  particular  family  in  the  community,  and 
my  participation  in  the  daily  life  of  the  family, 
necessary  for  successful  data-gathering. 

The  main  difficulty  I  encountered  was  in 
maintaining  a  commitment  to  free  discussion, 
on  the  one  hand,  and  to  obtaining  answers  to 
specific  questions  in  my  protocol  on  the  other. 
This,  perhaps,  I  should  have  anticipated— it  is 
not  always  easy  to  do  field  work  among  old 
friends  and  neighbors.  I  was  eager  to  find 
answers  but  loath  to  become  intrusively  task- 
oriented.  And,  in  addition,  my  concerns  and 
the  goals  of  the  agency  that  hired  me  were  not 
invariably  the  concerns  of  Sagada  women. 
Many  of  the  problems  raised  by  the  protocol 
did  not  surface  frequently  in  discussions  and 
interviews;  often,  informants'  major  concerns 
and  interests  were  centered  in  other  areas. 
However,  all  of  the  women  contacted  demon- 
strated considerable  self-awareness  and  ability 
to  speak  frankly  and  eloquently  of  their 
concerns.  These  were  nourishing  contacts 
for  me. 

Effects  of  Change 

The  issues  that  emerged  during  my  two 
months'  study  in  the  village  fall  roughly 
into  two  categories:  "felt  needs,"  the  women's 
concerns;  and  those  perceived  by  me  as  prob- 
lems  but   not   generally   seen   as   problems   by 


informants.  The  women's  stated  concerns 
often  revolved  around  change  and  its  effects 
upon  their  lives;  sometimes  these  worries 
related  to  their  health  and  the  health  of  their 
children- but  often  they  did  not.  Issues  per- 
ceived by  me  as  problems  (for  instance,  high 
incidence  of  malnutrition  in  the  weanling, 
ignorance  of  basic  nutrition  concepts,  cultural 
values  concerning  the  behavior  of  caretakers 
toward  children)  appear  to  involve  resistant 
aspects  of  culture,  those  that  have  withstood 
change.  Most  often  these  issues  were  not  seen 
as  problems  by  the  women,  possibly  because 
they  themselves  survived  such  an  upbringing 
in  just  such  an  environment  to  become  pro- 
ductive persons. 

In  spite  of  some  findings  that  were  dis- 
couraging, I  was  reassured  to  find  that  Igorot 
women  of  Sagada  are  still  committed  to 
breastfeeding,  and  that  this  aspect  of  child  care 
has  changed  little.  My  recommendations  for  an 
action  program  included  fostering  and  affirming 
present  patterns  of  breastfeeding  through  the 
first  year  of  life,  while  upgrading  supplementation 
with  solids  and  improving  the  diet  of  the  wean- 
lings, which  is  deficient  in  many  ways  and 
appears  to  be  directly  responsible  for  the  high 
incidence  of  first-  and  second-degree  malnutri- 
tion among  two-  and  three-year-olds. 

There  are  many  frustrations  inherent  in  field 
work,  especially  in  brief  periods  of  study  such  as 
mine.  The  work  that  I  did  raised  many  questions 
that  are  unanswered  and  likely  to  remain  so,  at 
least  for  some  time.  But,  at  the  same  time,  this 
was  a  rewarding  and  stimulating  experience.  I 
owe  much  to  the  anthropology  department  of 
the  University  of  the  South  for  providing  me 
with  the  theoretical  background  and  knowledge 
that  enabled  me  to  do  this  work  and,  possibly, 
to  make  some  small  contribution  to  an  import- 
ant field.

fold   purpose.    First,    it   offers   an 


opportunity  for  college  students  to 
take  special  courses  not  normally 
available  during  the  academic  year 
to  broaden  their  academic  program. 
Second,  it  serves  previously  enrolled 
students  in  the  University  who  de- 
sire to  speed  the  acquisition  of 
their  college  degrees  or  to  gain 
additional  credits  toward  comple- 
tion of  their  class  standings.  Third, 
it  provides  to  incoming  freshmen  an 
opportunity  to  adapt  themselves  to 
the  academic  demands  of  college  in 
an  environment  which  is  relatively 
free  of  the  usual  pressures  of  extra- 
curricular activities. 


Regular  Sewanee  faculty  pro- 
vide the  instruction,  and  the  course 
content  and  academic  standards  in 
most  courses  are  the  same. 

What  could  be  more  pleasant, 
summer  school  director' Dr.  William 
T.  Cocke,  C'51,  asks,  than  spending 
six  cool  weeks  in  Sewanee,  earning 
academic  credits,  and  saving  money 
(a  student  can  complete  his  degree 
requirements  in  three  years  by 
going  to  two  or  three  summer 
sessions).  If  interested,  write  to

years,  Joe  Gardner,  A'67,  has  sched- 
uled the  alumni  board  of  governors 
to  meet  at  Sewanee  Academy  at 
Commencement,  May  20-21.  Among 
agenda  business  will  be  how  the 
alumni  can  best  aid  the  Academy  in 
a  year  of  transition  between  head- 
masters. Recently,  the  Governors 
issued  a  joint  statement  of  affirma- 
tion after  their  twice-annual  visit 
to  Sewanee  following  fundamental 
changes  in  the  school's  approach  to 
education  through  a  civilian  and  co- 
educational  situation   (see   p.   18). 

Career  Counseling 

Career  counseling  in  business,  with 
an  emphasis  on  banking  and  insur- 
ance, was  held  on  November  4-5. 
Those  participating  were  William;  H. 
Smith,  C54,  chairman  of  the  South-

Who  among  Academy  alumni 
would  like  to  accept  a  challenge? 
Louie  M.  Phillips,  A'26,  invites 
others  to  devise  their  own  challenge 
schemes  seeking  matching  funds 
like  his.  Louie  Phillips  is  offering  to 


match  dollar  for  dollar  up  to  $250

Anyone  interested  may  call  Mr. 
Phillips  or  the  alumni  office  for 
ideas  on  a  challenge. 

Charlotte 

The  Sewanee  Club  of  Charlotte 
gathered  on  December  10  in  the 
new  NCNB  Building  with  Dr.  Ted 
Stirling,  English  professor  and  di- 
rector of  the  Alumni  Summer 
College,  as  guest  speaker.  Henry  G. 
Carrison,  C'65,  is  the  new  president. 

Sewanee  Club  Holiday  Parties 

The  Sewanee  Club  holiday  season 
began  with  the  annual  Christmas 
tea  on  December  19  in  Nashville, 
hosted  by  Dudley  and  Pearl  Fort. 
The  Woodhill  Estates  Club  was  the 
scene  of  a  holiday  reception  for  the 
Sewanee  Club  of  Columbia  on 
January  7.  The  club  voted  to 
change  its  name  to  the  Sewanee 
Club  of  Central  South  Carolina  and 
elected  the  following  officers:  Earl 
"Trace"  Devanny,  C'74,  president; 
Joe  Lumpkin,  C'71,  vice  president; 
Jennifer  Benitez,  C'73,  secretary, 
and  Bruce  Hunt,  Jr.,  C'71,  treasurer. 
On  January  9,  holiday  teas  were 
also  hosted  by  John  and  Loti  Woods 
in  Birmingham  and  Henry  and  Patsy 
Langhorne  in  Pensacola.  Even 
though  it  was  Super  Bowl  Sunday 
and  both  cities  were  experiencing 
inclement  weather,  attendance  was 
excellent  at  these  parties. 

All  four  of  these  parties  were 
given  not  only  for  alumni  and 
spouses  but  also  for  current  and 
prospective  students.  This  alumni 
support  of  our  admissions  program 
is  most  valuable  and  very  much 
appreciated. 

Play  It  Again,  Luke 

Play  Me  Zoltan  by  Lucas  Myers, 
C'53,  opened  at  Lincoln  Center 
in  New  York  as  an  Equity  Approved 
Showcase  production  and  was  taken 
to  the  Theater  of  the  Open  Eye, 
Second  Avenue  at  88th  Street, 
Manhattan,  for  twelve  perform- 
ances between  January  21  and  30. 
How  would  a  native  of  Sewa- 
nee come  to  write  a  play  about 
zany  Europeans?  Well,  he  is  married 
to  one— not  zany  but  a  native  of 
Budapest  and  a  very  gifted  musician 
like  Zoltan  in  the  play.  This  charac- 
ter of  Play  Me  Zoltan  is  a  flamboy- 
ant Hungarian  pianist.  Mrs.  Agnes 
Vadas  Myers  is  a  distinguished 
violinist,  not  showy  like  Zoltan  but 


".l  by  a  German  critii 
greal  musical  talent'"  and  by 
the  New  York  Tunes,  reviewing  her 
Carnegie  Mall  recital  of  April  11, 
1974,  as  an  "altogether  excellent 
violinist." 

And  on  the  reviews  of  that  day 
in  1974  hangs  a  tale.  Lucas  had  met 
Agnes  in  Paris  at  a  time  when  she 
was  giving  concerts  with  great  Euro- 
pean orchestras  under  the  batons  of 
such  as  Otto  Klemperer  of  Vienna 
fame  and  Lucas  was  writing  a  play 
as  well  as  poetry  for  the  leading 
literary  reviews.  Lucas  came  home 
to  America  and  the  two  lost  touch. 
On  April  12  a  notice  on  Agnes'  con- 
cert appeared  in  Cue  which  Lucas 
saw  but  too  late  to  attend  the  per- 
formance. It  was  the  first  he  had 
heard  of  Agi  on  this  side  of  the  At- 
lantic. Soon  the  romance  bloomed 
again.  The  two  were  married  in 
Durham,  New  York,  last  winter 
in  a  setting  not  unlike  Sewanee  in 
the  Catskills  where  Luke  has  a 
home. 

A  still  from  the  play  is  caption- 
ed; "So  Vienna  speaks.  Budapest 
says,  'Stuff  your  partridge.'  "  Asked 
to  characterize  this  remark  (one  of 
the  funniest  lines  in  the  play),  Lucas 
likened  it  to  the  culture  shock  of  a 
southerner  telling  a  Yankee  what  to 
do  with  his  rutabagas.  Lucas  no 
doubt  has  heard  this  kind  of  par- 
lance, but  generally  less  rudely,  on 
the  floors  of  the  United  Nations, 
for  which  he  has  been  an  informa- 


tioi and  oft  since  1970. 

In  January  ol  thi  ,  ear  the  World 
Mail;  Encyclopedia  of  the  Nations 
was  published  by  World  Mark  John 
Wiley  of  New  York,  and  Lucas  edit- 
ed the  United  Nations  volume, 
number  one,  of  this  fifth  edition. 
He  also  is  the  author  of  United 
Nations:  Thirty  Years  in  Pursuit  of 
Peace  (Gateway-Kodansha  Interna- 
tional, the  San  Francisco  house  of 
Japan's  largest  publisher). 

Trying  to  suggest  which  Myers 
is  the  more  talented  would  lead  to 
polarization  between  Liesl  and  Zol- 
tan, for  Agi  would  nominate  Luke 
and  Luke,  Agi.  Our  readers  can 
decide  that  when  they  see  Luke's 
play  and  hear  Agnes  perform.  Some 
Sewanee  alumni  who  saw  Play  Me 
Zoltan  during  the  New  York  run 
were  Bill  Donoho,  C'43,  Frederic 
K.  Biehl,  C'36,  and  Fitz  Allison, 
C'49. 

If  you  are  a  music  lover  and 
want  to  hear  Agi  play,  you  will 
have  to  wait  until  she  can  get  to 
the  Mountain,  where  she  has  an 
open  invitation.  Anyone  whose 
dossier  displays  handwritten  page 
recommendations  from  a  former 
concertmaster  of  Toscanini,  Joseph 
Ginggold  (who,  incidentally,  spent 
several  summers  in  the  Myers'  home, 
Bairnwick,  while  here  with  the 
Cumberland  Forest  Festival  of  the 
1950s),  and  also  from  Otto  Klem- 
perer, deserves  to  be  heard  any- 
where whenever  she  can  make  it. 


Budapest  says,  "Stuff  your  partrid

LETTERS 


Not  All  Have  a  Deficit 

Editor: 

I  was  distressed  to  learn  in  the  last 
issue  of  the  Sewanee  News  that  the 
University  Corporation  had  suffered  a 
deficit  of  $252,000  during  the  last 
fiscal  year. 

In  the  discussion  of  the  Academy's 
deficit   you   say    parenthetically    that 
"all  private  academic  institutions  operate 
at  a  deficit."  This  statement  is  simply 
not  true.  If  it  were  there  would  be  no 
private  institutions  extant  at  this  time. 

All  private  schools,  particularly  those 
that  take  resident  students,  are  having  a 
difficult  time  balancing  budgets  in  these 
inflationary  times.  But  saying  that  all 
such  schools  are  operating  at  a  deficit  is 
doing  a  disservice  to  the  majority  of 
those  institutions  that  are  operating  in 
the  black;  and  most  of  them  do  not  have 
large  endowments. 

Berkeley  Grimball,  C'43 
Headmaster,  Porter-Gaud 

School 
Charleston,   South   Carolina 

Mr.   Grimball  is  quite  right,  and  our 
wording  was  unfortunate.    What  was 
meant  was   that  all  private   academic 
institutions    (excluding   trade   schools 
and  the  like)  have  to  supplement  tuition 
income  with  gifts  either  in  the  form  of 
endowment  or  annual  giving.  "Deficit,  " 
of  course,  in  this  context,   means  an 
excess  of  operating  expenditures  over 
budgeted  operating  income. 

Liked  Issue 

Editor: 

Congratulations  to  you  and  the 
other  editors  for  creating  such  a  fine  issue 
of  the  Sewanee  News  as  the  December 
1976  issue.  More  than  any  other,  this 
issue  provides  a  genuine  picture  of  the 
current  life  at  Sewanee,  inviting  one 
inside  rather  than  holding  one  at  a 
distance.  Sewanee  comes  through  as 
vibrant,  alive  and  very  much  herself. 

It  was  refreshing  to  note  the  absence 
at  requests  lor  donations  in  the  publi- 
cation. The  lone  and  quality  of  this 
issue  should  do  more  to  generate  good 
will  among  our  alumni  than  a  league  of 
letters  explaining  why  they  are  needed. 
It  is  a  pleasure  to  receive  a  publica- 
tion of  this  calibre  from  Sewanee.  Thank 
you  very  much.

Makes  Sure  for  Alumni  College 

Dr.  Stirling: 

The  new  issue  of  the  Sewanee  News 
arrived  yesterday,  and  on  leafing  through 
it  my  eye  was  caught  immediately  by  the 
article  "Alumni  Summer  College   Set 
for  1977."  When  I  read  in  the  last  para- 
graph that  over  half  last  year's  class  have 
already  signed  on  for  1977  I  lost  no  time 
in  writing  this  letter.  Please  add  my  wife, 
Jeanne,  and  me  to  your  list  of  reserva- 
tions. Our  experience  there  last  summer 
was  too  satisfying  for  us  to  miss  out  on 
this  coming  session. 

Wyatt  H.   Blake  III,  C*50 
Sheffield,  Alabama 

The  report  was  misleading,  and  if  I  said 
it  I  was  in  error.  What  I  intended  to 
suggest  was  that  approximately  half  of 
last  summers  registrants  had  expressed 
interest  in  returning  to  Sewanee  for  the 
Alumni  Summer  College.  They  had  not 
made  reservations.  In  fact  there  is  still 
plenty  of  room  for  our  second  session  in 
July.  —Edwin  Stirling,  C'62,  director 
of  the  Alumni  Summer  College 


Diploma  Wording  Challenged 

Editor: 

One  of  the  girls  in  my  dormitory 
at  Duke  University  law  school  is  a 
classics  major  and  she  was  reading  my 
diploma  the  other  day.  She  said  some  of 
the  words  were  in  the  wrong  gender- 
male  instead  of  female.  I  like  the  idea 
of  a  Latin  diploma  very  much,  but  it 
seems  to  me  that  if  they're  going  to 
be  in  Latin  it  ought  to  be  correct  Latin. 
Am  I  being  ridiculously  petty  about 
this,  or  do  you  agree  with  me? 

It  also  occurs  to  me  that  the  text 
of  the  diploma  should  be  supplemented 
with  a  separate  English  version,  as  the 

Anne  Marie  Bradford,  C'76 

This  problem  was  referred  to  Provost 
Thad  Marsh,  who  reports  having  consult- 
ed with  Dr.  Charles  Binnicker,  associate 
professor  of  classical  languages,  and 
with  Dr.  Bayly  Turlington,  professor  of 
classical  languages,   who  advised  the 
Vice-Chancellor,  "and  it  looks  as  if  we 
have  a  conclusion.  Iuvenis  apparently 
really  means  a  young  person  of  either 
sex,  and  therefore  is  appropriate  for 
both  in  the  diploma,  but  the  clincher  for 
sticking  to  our  present  form  is  that  the 
degree  itself  ("bachelor")  is  a  masculine 
form  for  which  there  is  no  feminine 
equivalent,  and  the  other  adjectives 
have  to  agree  with  that.  "  Next  question. 


In  Response  to  Alumni  Survey 

I  applaud  the  University  on  making 
this  questionnaire  available  to  alumni. 
I  hope  the  results  will  be  treated  in  a 
manner  befitting  the  Sewanee  tradition— 
quality  over  quantity— and  that  the 
results  will  not  be  computerized,  card- 
punched,  and  forgotten. 

Sewanee  graduates  take  scores  of 
different  paths  in  life  upon  leaving.  To 
me,  the  strength  of  the  University  lies  in 
its  ability  to  prepare  each  and  every 
one  with  an  intellectual  (and,  to  a  lesser 
extent,  moral   and  religious)  ability  to 
cope  with  life.  I  have  noted,  with  some 
disappointment,    the    way    in    which 
Sewanee  tends  to  fall  into  the  trap  of 
idolizing  those  graduates  who  become 
exceptionally  rich,  exceptionally  "suc- 
cessful," exceptionally  worthy  of  head- 
lines. This,  to  me  (exceptionally  nothing 
in  a  newsworthy  sense)  turns  its  back  on 
the  thousands  of  people  who  gained 
immeasurably  from  their  Sewanee  exper- 
ience. The  University  may  never  "pro- 
duce" an  O.  J.  Simpson  or  an  Alfred 
Nobel,  but  on  balance  its  students  beat 
hell   out  of  Vanderbilt  or  Southern 
California  in   their  individual   abilities 
to  contribute  and  gain  from  their  lives. 

If  we  believe  that  Sewanee  should 
"set  the  stage"  but  not  run  the  show  in 
one's  life,  we  should  knock  off  the  idol 
worship  of  those  who  come  to  the 
school  born  with  abilities  and  show  how 
Sewanee  made  them  better  than  they 
were  before. 

David  Wiltsee,  C'64 
College  Park,  Georgia 

.   .   .  To  be  unique.  To  do  one's  job  well, 
but  more:  to  do  a  worthwhile  job  that 
few  if  any  others  are  doing.  This  is 
critical  for  Sewanee.  To  continue  a  broad 
liberal   arts   program,   requiring  basic 
familiarity  with  all  major  areas  of  know- 
ledge—to teach  scientific  method,  healthy 
scepticism— to  admit  only  the  best  of 
scholars— to  maintain  a  campus  tone  of 
life  becoming  to  a  gentleman  or  lady, 
yet  without  rigidity  of  manners— to  avoid 
gearing  one's   program   to  job-market 
demands— with  one  school  after  another 
biting  the  academic  dust  and  converting 


itself  to  a  diploma  factory,  who  will 
preserve  learning?  who  give  its  students  a 
chance  to  be  wise  as  well  as  educated? 
If  Sewanee  turns  away  from  these  ideals, 
she  has  no  further  reason  to  exist.  While 
she  does,  she  has  my  support. 

V.  Wesley  Mansfield  III,  C'68 
Chattanooga,  Tennessee 

I  feel  education  should  be  provided 
for  all  those  who  wish  to  partake  regard- 
less of  race,  creed,  religion,  economic 
status,  etc.  The  teaching  profession  of 
which  Sewanee  is  a  part  is  learning  that 
lesson  that  has  been  for  too  long  so  clear, 
but  unheeded.  If  a  child  cannot  learn  the 
way  we  teach  him,  then  teach  him  the 
way  he  can  learn.  Sewanee  emits  "aca- 
demia"  but  there  are  those  who  need 
something  else.  Sewanee  should  move 
out  to  embrace  these  others  also.  It  has 
long  been  steeped  in  ceremony,  pomp 
and  tradition— maybe  too  long  to  make 
an  objective  survey  of  its  place  in  a 
modern-day  America  with  modern-day 
real-life  situations.  While  at  Sewanee  in 
the  summers  of  '71-'75,  I  met  very  few 
friendly  "real"  people.  My  professors 
were  the  best' with  a  few  exceptions,: 
but  I  was  happy  I  did  not  have  to  attend 
during  the  regular  year.  Professors  in 
robes  would  give  me  an  aura  of  gloom 
in  a  classroom — very  depressive — where 
are  the  powdered  wigs? 

I  realize  that  Sewanee  today  is  not 
for  everyone  but  I  fear  many  capable 
students  are  "turned-off"  by  the  atmos- 
phere of  "I  need  to  check  your  family 
background  before  you  may  enter  here," 
or   "Are    your   parents    graduates    of 
Sewanee?" 

My  experience  at  Sewanee  may  or 
may  not  be  a  misconception  but  I 
experienced  it.  I  thoroughly  enjoyed 
the  institute  sponsored  by  the  National 
Science  Foundation  and  the  people 
involved,  but  I  could  not  or  would  not 
ever  be  a  full-time  student  at  Sewanee. 
I  have  seen  much  friendlier  campuses 
elsewhere. 

Thank  you  for  the  opportunity  to 
"sound  off." 

Unsigned 

The  greatest  danger  I  see  for  Sewanee 
is  its  tendency  to  rest  on  its  reputation. 
I  can  best  explain  this  by  comparing 
Sewanee  to  Caltech,  where  I  attended 
graduate  school.  Although  these  institu- 
tions have  very  different  emphasis,  they 
also  have  a  great  deal  in  common.  Their 
enrollments  are  similar,  both  strive  for 
excellence  in  what  they  perceive  as  their 
mission,  both  are  dedicated  to  the  honor 
system  and  both  try  to  make  the  faculty 
available   to  the  students— though   for 
obvious  reasons  Sewanee  is  much  more 
successful  at  the  last  point. 

The   difference  which   I  consider 
significant  is  that  Caltech's  emphasis  is 
on  being  at  "the  leading  edge"  while 
Sewanee  seems  to  feel  that  we  were 
great  we  are  great  we  will  be  great.  I 
would  not  want  to  see  Sewanee  become 
a  research  establishment  but  I  find  grave 
danger  in  declaring,  "We  are  great  because 
we  are  and  if  you  don't  like  it  you  can 
leave."  These  sentiments  were  in  fact 
expressed  when  I  was  at  Sewanee.  It 
isn't  whether  or  not  you  wear  a  gown 


(though  it's  kind  of  fun),  or  whether 
you  are  the  third  generation  of  your 
family   to  be   a  Sewanee   "man"   or 
whether  alumni  did  great  things  in  the 
past;  the  question  is  what  we  are  doing, 
where  we  are  going  and  are  we  on'  the 
path.   I  don't  mean  to  ignore  one's 
heritage— Caltech    is    proud    of    its 
founders— but  likewise   don't  conclude 
that  worthy  founding  fathers  insure 
success.  In  this  comment  I  am  avoiding 
specific  examples  of  situations  in  which 
these  attitudes  prevailed  though  many 
are  quite  vivid  in  my  memory.  I  hope  the 
trend  of  my  thoughts  is  clear  without 
case  histories.  In  the  years  since  I  left 


Sew 


the 


been  substantial 


changes.  I  hope  my  comments  are  direct- 
ed toward  an  already -solved  problem. 
In  closing  I  would,  however,  like  to 
raise  a  specific  question  and/or  issue. 
A  recent  issue  of  the  News  showed  a 
ranking  of  colleges  by  percentage  number 
of  graduate  scholarships  awarded  ath- 
letes. Both  Sewanee  and  Caltech  rated 
very  high.  A  recent  issue  of  Science 
(within  the  last  two  or  three  months) 
carried  a  ranking  of  colleges  by  percent- 
age of  graduates  with  earned  doctorates 
in  various  fields  and  over  a  span  of 
roughly  thirty  years.  Sewanee  was  quite 
absent  from  the  list  of  the  top  twenty- 
five  (I  believe  it  was  twenty-five)  schools. 
Isn't  this  a  more  meaningful  comparison? 
Where  does  Sewanee  rank?  Are  we  happv 
with  that  rank? 

G.    Price    Russ    III,    C'68 

La  Jolla,  California 

/  wonder  how   the   Science  list   was 
compiled.  Many  of  the  societies  in  the 
experimental  sciences  and  mathematics 
keep  computer  files  on  their  members, 
and    the    undergraduate    sources    of 
members  with  earned  doctorates  would 
be  easy  to  retrieve.  Sewanee  would  not 
rank  high  in  those  fields,  simply  because 
such   a  small  percentage   of  Sewanee 
students  end  up  majoring  in  mathematics 
or  science.  But  I  wonder  about  earned 
doctorates  in  the  other  disciplines.  I  bet 
we   would   rank  pretty   high,    though 
probably  not  in  the  first  ten.  It  would 
be  worth  tracking  down,  although  very 
time-consuming.    —Stephen  E.  Puckette,

My  present  views  and  feeling  are 
based  on  about  a  dozen  of  Sewanee's 
recent  graduates.  All  shared  the  same 
philosophy  with  which  I  totally  disagreed, 
and  I  am  ashamed  to  admit  I  attended 
the  same  institution.

Church  Fares  Better 

After  I  had  been  in  Sulphur  Springs 
about  six  months,  two  of  my  vestrymen, 
both   in   their  sixties  and   long-time 
churchmen,  made  the  same  remark  to  me, 
but  separately,  "We  always  fare  better 
when  we  have  a  Sewanee  man!!!"

Bulletin:  Million  Dollar  Program  total  as  of  May  25  is  $822,221. 

JUNE  IS  CRUCIAL 


by  Marcus  L.  Oliver 

Director  of  Annual  Giving 

The  month  of  June  has  another 
identity.  "Tis  June  the  month  of 
roses  .  .  .  and  gifts  to  Sewanee  in 
large  numbers."  At  least  this  is 
what  Sewanee  fund-raisers  trust 
will  happen. 

June  has  replaced  August  as  the 
twelfth  month  in  the  University's 
fiscal  year  and  thus  is  heir  to  the 
claim  of  being  the  second  most 
productive  month  in  terms  of 
gifts.  December  has  long  reigned  as 
the  uncontested  winner,  with  one 
notable  and  currently  significant 
exception. 

The  exception  is  August  of 
1975  when,  as  twelfth  and  final 
month  in  the  Challenge  Year, 
$216,588  dollars  were  received 
for  Sewanee's  Million  Dollar  Pro- 
gram; and  thereby  hangs  a  dilemma. 
The  dilemma  is  that  now,  in  the 
regrouping  of  monthly  gift  records 
according  to  the  new  fiscal  year, 
August  1975  becomes  the  second 
month  in  the  fiscal  year  1975-76 
which  also  includes  December 
1975's  respectable  $187,805  and 
June  1976's  $158,457.  This  loads 
the  year  unnaturally,  making  it  a 
tough  act  to  follow. 

As  a  consequence,  the  Million 
Dollar  Program  is  for  the  first  time 
in   its   seven-year   history  running 


significantly  behind  the  previous 
year  on  a  month-by-month  com- 
parison. As  of  April  30  this  year's 
MDP  gift  total  is  lagging  some 
$108,599  behind  last  year's. 

The  miracle  is  that  the  disparity 
between  this  year  and  last  is  not 
even  greater,  and  it  would  have 
been  had  December  1976  not 
broken  all  monthly  records  with 
$306,847  ($187,805  in  1975  and 
$176,505  in  1974)  for  MDP  gifts. 
Since  gifts  to  MDP  apply  directly 
to  the  operating  budget  they  are 
especially  critical. 

We  are  behind  by  about 
$11,565  when  restricted  gifts  are 
combined  with  MDP  gifts,  showing 
a  total  of  $1,283,382.  The  addition 
of  bequests,  of  which  there  have 
been  remarkably  few  this  year, 
throws  the  lead  substantially  in 
favor  of  last  year:  $1,661,828 
(75-76)     to     $1,354,408    (76-77). 

**  number  of  good  things  are 
working  which  should  help  make 
the  month  of  June  finish  strong 
and  thus  enable  the  Million  Dollar 
Program  to  exceed  its  goal  for  the 
third  straight  year.  The  new  feature 
in  Sewanee's  fund-raising  efforts  is 
the  program  built  around  visits 
with  the  Vice-Chancellor,  which 
have  been  held  in  Dallas,  Houston, 
Shreveport,  Nashville,  Atlanta, 
Memphis      and      Louisville.      The 


mission  of  these  dinners  has  been 
the  identification,  cultivation  and 
solicitation  of  major  gift  prospects. 

There  is  reason  for  encourage- 
ment. The  number  of  members 
of  the  Chancellors  Society  ($10,000 
minimum  unrestricted  gift)  is  of 
this  date  thirteen  compared  to  the 
same  number  secured  during  the 
whole  of  last  year.  It  appears  that 
membership  in  the  Vice-Chancellor's 
and  Trustees'  Society  (minimum  of 
$1,000)  and  the  Century  Club 
(minimum  of  $100)  are  running 
ahead  of  last  year. 

Metropolitan  Area  Campaigns, 
the  United  Fund  type  of  program 
where  enough  volunteers  are  re- 
cruited to  make  personal  calls  on 
essentially  every  Sewanee  prospect 
in  a  given  city  were  held  in  Char- 
lotte, Miami,  Tampa,  Jackson, 
Mississippi  and  the  Huntsville, 
Alabama  area. 

The  experimental  program  of 
the  alumni  of  the  College,  Opera- 
tion Task  Force,  has  had  the 
interesting  result  of  increasing  the 
number  of  College  alumni  donors

A  NEVER-FAILING  SUCCESSION 


Chancellor's  Address  to  the  Board  of  Trustees 

University  of  the  South 
Sunday,  May  1,1977 

In  this  Chapel  at  convocations  opening  a  new 
school  term,  Founders'  Day  celebrations, 
Commencement  exercises,  and  occasions  such 
as  this,  the  University  Prayer  traditionally  is 
prayed.  The  petition  within  the  University 
Prayer  which  seems  to  linger  longest  in  the 
congregation's  ears,  is  most  readily  remembered 
after  leaving  the  Chapel  and  has  produced  the 
most  commentsHf  not  the  most  Amens— is  in 
the  polished  phrases:  "and  raise  up,  we  pray,  a 
never-failing  succession  of  benefactors." 

Within  the  prayer,  this  petition  follows 
requests  that  God  bless  the  University;  give 
the  spirit  of  wisdom  to  all  who  share  the  au- 
thority of  teaching  and  governing;  provide 
the  grace  for  the  daily  growing,  enlightening, 
purifying,  and  sanctifying  of  students'  bodies, 
minds,  hearts,  and  wills;  and  bless  all  who 
have  contributed  in  any  good  way  to  this 
University. 

Then  after  God  is  petitioned  to  "raise  up 
a  never-failing  succession  of  benefactors," 
the  prayerful  hope  is  expressed  that  the  names 
of  such  may  continue  always  in  the  happy 
memories  of  those  who  benefit  from  the  offer- 
ings of  service  and  gifts,  which  can  only  become 
acceptable  through  the  merits  of  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ. 

By  definition  and  performance,  benefac- 
tors literally  and  actually  are  those  whose 
good  works  and  good  gifts  make  for  the  well- 
being  of  others.  The  term  is  accurately  descrip- 
tive of  those  whose  gifts  and  services  provide 
opportunities,  means,  and  assistance  to  enable 
other  persons  and  institutions  to  become  bene- 
factors. The  effective  benefactors,  like  the 
effective  purpose  and  prayer  of  this  University, 
add  to  "the  succession  of  benefactors." 

There  is  more  historic  evidence  of  the 
positive  and  affirmative  response  to  the  prayers 
in  behalf  of  this  University  for  a  succession  of 
benefactors  than  has  been  recorded  or  can  be 
measured.  There  are  lists  and  records  of  many 
benefactors  whose  contributions  have  enabled 
and  strengthened  the  beneficial  services  of 
Sewanee's  institutions.  An  impressive  listing  is 
inscribed  in  the  stone,  glass,  and  wood  of  this 
Chapel.  And  while  this  Chapel  of  All  Saints 
offered  to  the  glory  of  God  honors  the  memory 
of  all  benefactors,  listed  and  unlisted,  there  is  no 
complete  list  available  of  all  those  who  thus  far 
have  in  an  unfailing  succession  shared,  as  best 
they  could,  the  good  life  to  which— or  is  it 
more  accurate  to  say,  to  whom— this  Univer- 
sity and  this  Chapel  are  dedicated. 


To  borrow  a  few  verses  from  the  Book 
Ecclesiasticus  (44:9-12): 

"Some  there  be,  which  leave  no  memorials; 

Who  are  perished  as  though  they  had  not 
been, 

and  are  become  as  though  they  had  not 
been  born; 

and  their  children  after  them. 

But  these  were  men  of  mercy, 

Whose  righteous  deeds  have  not  been  for- 
gotten. 

With  their  seed  shall  remain  continually 
a  good  inheritance ; 

Their  children  are  within  the  Covenants. 

Their  seed  standeth  fast, 

and  their  children  for  their  sakes." 

The  prayers  of  and  for  this  University, 
therefore,  should  never  fail  to  include  thanks- 
givings for  the  un-numbered  and  unlisted,  as 
well  as  for  those  well  recognized,  whose  service 
and  gifts  have  provided  and  do  provide  the 
substance  which  relates  and  binds  together  the 
spiritual  and  material  substance  of  this  Univer- 
sity corporation. 

And,  moreover,  if  such  prayers  are  to  be 
faithful  and  creditable,  every  person,  within 
the  community  of  purpose  to  realize  the  dedi- 
cation of  this  University  to  the  development, 
conservation,  and  well-being  of  each  person  in  a 
more  wholesome  society  and  environment,  is 
entrusted  with  the  responsibility  to  become  a 
benefactor.  All  of  us  here  share  both  trusteeship 
and  the  benefactor  vocation  with  every  member 
of  the  owning  dioceses,  with  alumni,  students, 
faculty,  auxiliary  staffs,  administrators,  and 
friends  of  Christian  education. 

One  whom  we  have  come  to  recognize 
as  a  benefactor  and  devoted  servant  of  Sewa- 
nee  is  the  Vice-Chancellor  of  this  University, 
Jefferson  Bennett.  He  and  the  Lady  Chris 
have  for  six  years  given  most  generously  and 
graciously  of  themselves  to  the  life  of  this  place. 

There  is  no  adequate  means  to  measure 
their  contributions.  Love  is  immeasurable. 
Many  more  benefit  from  kindness  and  com- 
passion than  can  be  counted.  The  Bennetts' 
contributions  are  all  mixed  up  in  loving  kindness 
and  compassion. 

Now  Dr.  Bennett  has  submitted  his  resigna- 
tion to  this  board.  He  who  has  reminded  us  that 
the  average  college  president's  tenure  averages 
five  years  has  exceeded  that  average  by  one  year. 
He  was  willing  to  serve  longer  in  the  office  of 
Vice-Chancellor.    Yet   he    is    resigning,   and   in

JU,NE  1977 


AYRES  TO  BE  ACTING  V.C. 


Robert  M.  Ayres,  Jr.,  C'49,  H'74, 
of  San  Antonio,  Texas  was  named 
acting  Vice-Chancellor  and  Presi- 
dent of  the  University  of  the  South 
by  the  board  of  regents  at  their 
April  meeting. 

Mr.  Ayres  is  an  alumnus  of  the 
University,  former  chairman  of  the 
board  of  regents,  former  president 
of  the  Associated  Alumni,  and 
currently  volunteer  chairman  of  its 
development  program  for  annual 
giving,  the  Million  Dollar  Program. 
He  will  replace  Dr.  J.  Jefferson 
Bennett,  who  is  leaving  office  June 
30,  while  a  search  is  under  way  for 
his  successor. 

After  the  regents  met  in  special 
session  to  accept  Dr.  Bennett's 
resignation  the  Chancellor,  Presid- 
ing Bishop  John  M.  Aliin,  asked  the 
joint  faculties  to  mail  him  individu- 
ally a  recommendation  for  an 
acting  Vice-Chancellor.  Robert 
Ayres'  name  appeared  as  the  over- 
whelming choice. 

Dr.  Richard  B.  Doss,  chairman 
of  the  board  of  regents,  in  announc- 
ing the  appointment  said,  "Robert 
Ayres'  willingness  to  set  aside  his 
personal  concerns  and  accept  this 
responsibility  is  a  stroke  of  great 
good  fortune  for  the  University.  He 
commands  the  respect  and  admira- 
tion of  our  faculty,  students,  alumni 
and  benefactors.  From  that  and  his 
own  strength  will  come  the  author- 
ity to  make  the  decisions  which  can- 
not wait  a  year  for  the  appointment 
of  a  permanent  Vice-Chancellor." 

Mr.  Ayres  is  a  senior  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  investment  banking 
firm  of  Rotan  Mosle,  Inc.  He  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Governing 
Council  of  the  Securities  Industry 
Association  and  chairman  of  the 
Texas  Investment  Bankers'  Associ- 
ation. He  serves  on  numerous 
corporation,  civic  and  philanthropic 
boards,  and  is  currently  on  the 
Executive  Council  of  the  Episcopal 
Church. 

For  the  past  two  years  he  has 
been  on  leave  of  absence  to  pursue 
fundraising  work  for  the  University 
of  the  South  and  for  work  in  world 
relief.  During  this  time,  he  was 
appointed  by  the  Presiding  Bishop 


to  assist  in  the  organization  of  the 
Venture  in  Mission  program,  an 
effort  to  raise  significant  funds  for 
the   mission    work  of  the  Church. 

Robert  Ayres  is  a  1949  gradu- 
ate of  the  University  of  the  South, 
attended  Oxford  University  in  Eng- 
land, and  has  an  M.B.A.  degree 
from  the  Wharton  School  of  Fi- 
nance and  Commerce  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania.  He  also  holds 
an  honorary  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Civil  Law  from  the  University  of 
the  South . 

He  is  married  to  the  former 
Patricia  Ann  Shield  and  they  have 
a   son    and   a  daughter.   The   son,

by  164  over  last  year,  an  increase 
of  11.9%;  but  the  dollar  total  of 
these  gifts  is  smaller  by  some 
$21,631. 

Persons  who  contemplate 
making  a  gift  to  Sewanee  should 
check  to  see  if  their  employers 
are  among  the  six  hundred  com- 
panies which  match  employee  gifts, 
some  on  a  two-for-one  basis.  A 
number  of  substantial  gifts  have 
come  by  this  route. 

Academy  alumni  from  the 
class  of  1921  through  1931,  inclu- 
sive, may  qualify  for  having  their 
gifts  matched  by  a  fellow  alumnus. 
Louie  M.  Phillips,  A'26,  of  Nash- 
ville, has  challenged  Academy 
alumni  from  his  decade  who  were 
not  donors-of-record  last  year  by 
offering  to  match  their  gifts  up  to 
a  total  investment  on  his  part  of 
$2,500.    May    his    tribe    increase! 

All  of  these  programs  tend  to 
have  a  cumulative  effect  as  the 
fund-raising  year  nears  its  climax. 
If  the  efforts  of  literally  hundreds 
of  volunteers  pay  off  as  expected, 
the  month  of  June  will  rival  Augusts 
and  even  Decembers  of  the  past  in 
terms  of  production  of  gifts;  and 
the  Million  Dollar  Program  will 
continue  its  recent  habit  of  exceed- 
ing goals. 


Robert  Atlee  Ayres,  is  a  freshman 
Wilkins    Scholar    in    the    College. 

Search  Committee 
A  search  committee  to  name  a 
permanent  Vice-Chancellor  had  its 
organizational  meeting  Sunday, 
May  1.  The  committee  was  ap- 
pointed by  the  Chancellor,  Bishop 
Allin,  and  convened  by  former 
Chancellor  Bishop  Girault  M.  Jones, 
T'28,  H'49,  whom  the  committee 
then  elected  chairman.  Members  are 
Bishop  Furman  Stough,  C'51,  T'55, 
H'71,  of  Alabama,  the  Rev.  Maurice 
M.  Benitez,  T'58,  rector  of  the 
Church  of  St.  John  the  Divine  in 
Houston,  Texas,  and  the  Rev.  Ed- 
ward Dudley  Colhoun,  C'50,  of  St. 
Paul's  Church,  Winston-Salem, 
North  Carolina.  Faculty  trustees  on 
the  committee  are  Dr.  Gilbert 
Gilchrist,  C'49,  professor  of  politi- 
cal science,  and  Dr.  Anita  Good- 
stein,  professor  of  history.  The 
student  trustee  on  the  committee 
is  Thomas  Hunt  Williams  of  Clarks- 
ville,  Tennessee,  and  the  two  lay 
members  are  Harold  Eustis,  C'37, 
businessman  of  Greenville,  Missis- 
sippi and  Thomas  Tisdale,  C'61, 
lawyer  of  Charleston,  South  Caro- 
lina. 

Dr.  Gilchrist  has  been  made 
secretary.  All  suggestions  to  the 
committee  should  be  sent  to  S.P.O. 
Box  1165  at  Sewanee.  Your  co- 
operation will  be  most  welcome, 
the  committee  emphasizes. 


Faculty  Salaries  Lag 


A  study  made  from  1975-76  data 
by  the  Sewanee  chapter  of  the 
American  Association  of  University 
Professors  showed  faculty  salary 
increases  nationwide  failing  to 
keep  pace  with  inflation.  At  Sewa- 
nee, average  money  compensation 
increased  7.3%  reflecting  the  in- 
creased University  contribution  to 
the  teachers'  retirement  fund  plus 
small  salary  increases  averaging 
3.3%.  This'  was  slightly  above  the 
national  average  but  below  average 
for  the  list  of  twenty-four  colleges 
with  which  the  University  compares 
itself  in  various  ways.  Sewanee 
ranks  seventeenth  on  this  list  of 
twenty-four. 

The  A.A.U.P.  offered  a  resolu- 
tion, passed  by  the  faculty,  request- 
ing the  regents  to  reaffirm  a  goal  of 
attaining  fourteenth  place  on  this 
list  by  1980  and  expressing  concern 
"that  the  continued  treatment  of 
faculty  salaries  as  a  residual  item  in 
the  budget  creates  little  likelihood 
that  this  goal  will  be  attained."  A 
faculty  committee  from  the  three 
units  studying  budget  priorities  also 
concluded  that  salaries  were  regard- 
ed as  a  residual  and  not  a  priority 
item. 

The  regents  in  February  order- 
ed $80,000  added  to  faculty 
salaries,  the  funds  to  come  from 
already-submitted  non-academic 
budgets.  These  revisions  have  been 
under  way. 


Headmaster 
Appointed 

Donald  Roderick  Welles,  Jr.  has 
been  appointed  headmaster  of  the 
Sewanee  Academy,  succeeding 
Henry  Hutson,  C'50,  who  has 
accepted  the  headmastership  of  his 
alma  mater,  Christ  School  in  Arden, 
North  Carolina. 

Mr.  Welles  is  presently  director 
of  the  Upper  School  at  the  Port- 
ledge  School  in  Locust  Valley,  New 
York.  He  is  a  graduate  of  Hotchkiss 
School  and  Yale  University,  and 
earned  his  M.Div.  degree  from  the 
Episcopal  Theological  School  in 
Cambridge,  Massachusetts.  He  was 
bom  in  Wilmington,  Delaware  on 
April  17,  1935,  is  married  and  has 
two  children. 

He  served  as  curate  at  Christ 
Church,  Exeter,  New  Hampshire 
and  at  St.  George's  Church  in  Lon- 
don, England,  then  was  chaplain 
to  the  Winant  Volunteers,  a  group 
doing  social  service  in  England  and 
Scotland.  In  1964  he  joined  the 
faculty  of  St.  Paul's  School  in 
Concord,  New  Hampshire,  where  he 
taught  religion  and  was  acting  head 
of  the  department  for  a  year.  He 
was  founder  and  director  of  the 
school's  Independent  Study  Pro- 
gram, in  which  students  worked 
with  faculty  to  design  their  own 
curricula  for  all  or  part  of  the 
academic  year.  While  there  he  was 
chairman  of  the  Concord  Human 
Rights  Council  and  a  member  of 
the  board  of  directors  of  the  Con- 
cord Mental  Health  Center. 

He  has  worked  several  summers 
with  the  Outward  Bound  School  at 
Hurricane  Island,  Maine.  From 
1971  to  1972  he  served  as  project 
manager  for  the  Scaife  Foundation 
study  at  the  Smithsonian  Institu- 
tion's Chesapeake  Bay  Center  for 
Environmental  Studies.  In  that 
capacity  he  provided  administra- 
tive and  logistical  support  for 
research  on  the  feasibility  of 
restoring  a  wilderness  island  land 
mass  by  utilizing  the  debris  of 
urban  renewal  programs. 

In  1972  he  became  director 
of  the  Portledge  School's  Upper 
School,  a  newly  formed  college 
preparatory  school  emphasizing 
individualized  instruction  and 
independent  study.

QUAM   IUCUNDUM 


A  NEVER-FAILING  SUCCESSION 


(Continued  from  page  2) 

doing  so,  he  reveals  again  to  those  well  acquaint- 
ed with  him,  a  combination  of  realism  mixed 
with  love  and  faith  and  humility. 

The  reality  of  professionalism  and  ex- 
perience is  evidenced  in  one  who  perceives 
the  office  occupied  and  service  offered  within 
the  context  of  an  institution  as  a  contribution 
to  the  purpose,  movement,  and  life  of  the 
institution  rather  than  an  end  in  itself. 

The  reality  of  professionalism  and  a  pro- 
fessional evaluation  of  reality  are  also  manifest 
when,  after  an  honest  consideration  of  the 
conditions  and  circumstances  of  corporate 
relations,  responsibility,  and  development,  an 
administrator  decides  with  integrity  and  without 
rancor  to  offer  an  organization  or  institution  the 
potential  of  new  leadership  by  resigning  as  chief 
executive. 

Jefferson  Bennett  is  the  personification  of 
just  such  professional  reality. 

Association  with  Jeff  Bennett,  however, 
leads  rapidly  to  the  realization  that  he  is  to 
be  appreciated  for  more  than  his  professional- 
ism and  realism.  Those  attributes  are  enhanced 
by  love  and  faith  and  humility.  Both  Jeff 
and  Chris  Bennett  have  demonstrated  love  for 
this  community  and  this  University,  or  to  be 
more  accurate,  for  the  people  of  this  place. 
They  demonstrated  faith  in  coming  to  Sewa- 
nee  and  have  been  faithful  in  their  service 
here.  The  decision  to  resign  has  been  offered 
with  a  precious  humility  and  grace. 

Certainly  the  love  they  have  bestowed  in 
service  to  this  University  community  places 
them  permanently  in  that  "never-failing  suc- 
cession of  benefactors"  for  whom  this  Uni- 
versity prays. 

A  recollection  worth  sharing  is  of  an  occa- 
sion when  the  present  Vice-Chancellor  received 
criticism  for  failure  to  discharge  a  member  of 
the  University  staff  considered  ineffective.  One 
observer  noted  in  passing  that  it  might  be  that 
the  major  weakness  of  the  Vice-Chancellor  as  an 
administrator  is  his  compassion. 

Observation  of  the  office  and  duties  of 
the  Vice-Chancellor  may  lead  to  an  appraisal 
that  the  burdens  placed  upon  any  occupant 
are  more  than  one  person  can  bear  alone  or 
for  long  duration.  The  trustees  might  do  well 
to  call  upon  the  regents  to  re-examine  and 
evaluate  the  job  description  and  make  pro- 
visions for  re-alignment  or  additional  staffing 
if  necessary. 

Meanwhile,  we  have  occasion  to  give  thanks 
for  the  many  contributions  of  Jeff  and  Chris 
Bennett  and  to  pray  for  a  "never-failing  succes- 
sion"   of    Vice-Chancellors    with    compassion. 


Evidence  of  affirmative  answers  to  our 
prayers  for  a  worthy  succession  of  benefac- 
tors is  provided  in  the  availability  of  another 
dear  friend  and  servant— son  of  Sewanee,  Robert 
Ayres,  who  has  responded  to  yet  another  urgent 
call  from  his  Alma  Mater. 

We  have  additional  reason  to  give  thanks 
that  he  is  able  to  accept  the  regents'  request 
to  serve  as  interim  Vice-Chancellor  for  a  term 
of  up  to  one  year.  With  complete  confidence 
and  prayerful  gratitude,  both  the  Chancellor 
and  the  Presiding  Bishop  recommends  and 
requests  without  qualification  the  confirma- 
tion and  unanimous  support  of  Robert  Ayres 
in  his  never-failing  dedication  to  this  Univer- 
sity. 

Only  such  dedication  can  fulfill  the  purpose 
and  high  calling  of  this  Christian  University.  The 
cause  to  be  served  requires  the  best  offerings  of 
a  never-failing  succession.  Experience,  both 
bitter  and  sweet,  teaches  the  necessity  of  sharing 
and  passing  on  this  vital  enterprise  of  Christian 
education.  The  work  is  exhaustive  and  requires 
the  best  of  the  best. 

My  constant  prayer  for  Sewanee  is  continual 
deliverance  from  mediocrity.  Both  human  need 
and  our  survival  as  a  people  and  an  institution 
demand  excellence.  Our  goals  and  standards  are 
not  set  by  the  world's  fashions  and  fads.  Such 
substitutes  must  not  be  accepted.  Our  achieve- 
ment too  long  has  fallen  far  short  of  our  poten- 
tial; too  often  our  heritage  is  left  unclaimed. 

The  echo  of  this  age  may  prove  to  be  the  call 
for  the  new  life  style,  yet  unheeded  because  un- 
heard as  a  result  of  the  confusion  in  these  present 
days.  The  purpose  of  such  institutions  as  this 
University  is,  and  has  been,  to  develop  the  intelli- 
gence, strengthen  the  body,  motivate  the  will, 
and  affirm  the  spirit  for  the  well-being  of  human- 
ity, the  conservation  of  the  environment,  the 
good  use  of  the  earth,  and  a  more  abundant  life 
for  all.  Our  professed  commitment  is  to  the 
vital  process  of  providing  the  best  possible 
opportunity  and  stimulus  toward  the  wholesome 
fruition  of  every  unique  individual  we  can  serve. 
That  fruition  is  only  realized  by  those  whose 
appreciation  for  the  offerings  of  life  comes  to 
fulfillment  in  the  experience  of  offering  them- 
selves in  return  through  service. 

Let  us  translate  the  high  calling  into  prayers 
and  transmit  our  prayers  into  disciplined  service 
in  order  to  claim  and  share  and  enjoy  our 
goodly  heritage.

"I  leave  in  the  serene  knowledge 
that  this  is  financially,  as  well  as 
academically,  one  of  the  soundest 
universities  in  this  country,"  Dr. 
J.  Jefferson  Bennett,  Vice-Chancel- 
lor and  President  of  the  University, 
told  the  Alumni  Council  meeting 
April  22-23.

Dr.  Bennett  had  announced  his 
intention  of  leaving  the  office 
which  he  has  held  for  six  years, 
on  June  30,  and  this  was  his  last 
address  to  the  Council,  composed 
of  class  leaders  and  club  presidents. 
He  had  cited  frustrations  in  coping 
with  deficits  as  contributing  to  his 
decision  to  resign  and  allow  fresh 
eyes  to  review  Sewanee 's  needs. 
The  budget  for  1977-78  submitted 
by  his  administration  and  approved 
by  the  regents  in  April  comes  close 
to  balancing. 

"Enrollment,  a  grievous  prob- 
lem for  so  many  of  our  sister 
colleges,"  Dr.  Bennett  said,  "con- 
tinues at  capacity.  We  have  a 
physical  plant  which  needs  practi- 
cally no  expansion  with  a  replace- 
ment value  for  insurance  purposes 
of  $34,000,000  and  an  endowment 
with  a  market  value  of  $25,000,000. 

"Far  more  important  and  re- 
assuring is  what  we  call  our  living 
endowment,"  the  Vice-Chancellor 
stressed.  "We  have  12,000  alumni 
who  are  just  beginning  to  be  edu- 
cated to  the  need  for  annual  giving. 
We  have  509,000  Episcopalians  in 
our  owning  dioceses,  heirs  of  our 
founders,  and  are  only  now  getting 
under  way  to  reach  them  with  a  full- 
time   director  of  church  relations. 

"The  annual  earnings  of  this 
living  endowment— that  is,  the  gifts 
to  our  Million  Dollar  Program  of 
the  people  I  have  enumerated— have 
been  growing  year  by  year  and  have 
doubled  in  the  last  five  years,  ex- 
ceeding a  million  dollars  a  year  in 
the  last  two." 

Dr.  Bennett  concluded,  "Against 
this  all-but-unparalleled  strength, 
deficits  during  a  period  of  depressed 
stock  market  conditions,  however 
largely  and  properly  they  concern 
an  administrator  and  the  governing 
boards,  are,  if  temporary,  hardly 
more  than  a  parenthesis  in  the  long, 
proud  history  of  the  University  of 
the  South."

Thad  N.  Marsh,  provost  of  the  Uni- 
versity, has  announced  his  intention 
to  leave  that  office  at  the  same  time 
Dr.  Bennett  does,  June  30.  "This 
office  is  so  closely  identified  with 
that  of  the  Vice-Chancellor,"  he 
said,   "that   I   feel   I   cannot   serve 


Col.  Joseph  Powell  (USAF  ret) 
retired  in  March  as  administrator 
of  Emerald-Hodgson  Hospital,  and 
Dr.  Russell  Leonard,  University 
health  officer,  has  been  serving  as 
interim  administrator  without  com- 
pensation. Search  for  a  permanent 
administrator  is  under  way. 

To  Col.  Powell  had  fallen  the 
painful  duty  of  laying  off  a  number 
of  people  from  the  hospital  staff, 
a  move  recommended  by  pro- 
fessional consultants  and  approved 
by  the  hospital  board.  The  staff  was 
judged  excessive  for  the  current 
occupancy  rate— as  much  as  twice 
the  staff  hours  per  patient  in  the 
nursing  department  necessary  for 
the  average  census.  In  an  unrelated 
development  Dr.  Dudley  Fort,  C'58, 
withdrew  his  affiliation  from  the 
hospital. 

The  mounting  pressures  were 
sapping  Col.  Powell's  health  and  he 
elected  to  retire  at  the  age  of  sixty- 
two. 

Dr.  Leonard  as  interim  admin- 
istrator carried  out  a  further  reduc- 
tion in  staff  and  a  redesigning  of 
staff  patterns  for  greater  efficiency. 
"Our  aim  is  to  have  a  first-rate  staff 
that  can  handle  twenty  patients  a 
day  with  no  change  in  the  present 


Dr.  Bennett.' 

Mr.  Marsh,  who  came  to  the 
University  as  provost  in  August, 
1973,  will  remain  at  the  University 
as  professor  of  English  during  two 
sabbatical  leaves  from  that  depart- 
ment next  year. 

"I  entered  full-time  administra- 
tive work  in  1959,"  he  said,  "and 
I  will  give  up  twenty-four-hour 
duty  with  no  great  sense  of  loss. 
The  four  years  I  have  spent  working 
with  Dr.  Bennett  have  been  among 
the  most  rewarding  of  my  profes- 
sional life.  He  is  a  rare  combination 
of  wisdom  and  shrewdness,  decisive- 
ness and  humaneness,  tough- 
mindedness  and  Christian  concern." 
The  provost  came  to  Sewanee 
from  Centenary  College,  where  he 
had  been  dean.  He  has  also  held 
administrative  posts  at  Rice  Univer- 
sity and  Muhlenberg  College  and 
was  on  the  English  faculty  of  the 
University  of  Kansas,  Kansas  State 
University  and  Rice.  He  was  a 
Rhodes  Scholar  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Kansas  and  earned  three 
graduate  degrees  from  Oxford  Uni- 
versity. He  has  contributed  a  num- 
ber of  articles  on  English  literature 
to  scholarly  journals. 

At  Sewanee  he  has  taught 
courses  in  Renaissance  English, 
Anglo-Saxon  and  freshman  English 
in  addition  to  his  administrative 
tasks.  He  has  been  vice-chairman  of 
the  board  of  directors  of  Emerald- 
Hodgson  Hospital,  the  Sewanee 
Community  Council,  and  the  Uni- 
versity lease  committee.  He  is 
president  of  the  Hudson  Stuck— 
Sewanee  branch  of  the  English- 
Speaking  Union. 

He  has  been  in  much  demand

ment to  provide  the  finest  possible 
medical  care  to  the  residents  of  this

the  Emerald-Hodgson  Hospital." 
Dr.  Leonard  has  been  engaged 
for  some  time  in  efforts  to  attract 
additional  physicians  to  practice 
here,  and  foresees  a  time  when  the 
hospital  will  need  to  expand  its 
staff  again. 

The  father  of  two  alumni  and  a 
current  student,  Dr.  Leonard  has 
his  MD.  from  Northwestern  Medical 
School  in  Chicago  and  did  a  surgical 
residency  at  Memorial  Hospital  in 
Houston  and  a  thoracic  preceptor- 
ship  under  Drs.  Barkley  and  Dailey 
in  Houston.  He  is  board-certified 
in  both  general  and  thoracic  surgery 
and  has  had  administrative  experi- 
ence as  acting  superintendent  of  the 
East  Texas  Tuberculosis  Sanatorium 
in  Tyler,  Texas.  He  was  chief  of  the 
surgery  section  of  the  Anniston 
Memorial  Hospital  in  Anniston, 
Alabama,  and  president  of  the  Cal- 
houn Medical  Society. 

Col.  Powell  had  been  adminis- 
trator of  Emerald-Hodgson  Hos- 
pital since  1966.  He  was  pro- 
fessor of  air  science  at  the  Uni- 
versity from  1958  to  1962,  and  was 
invited  by  Provost  Gaston  Bruton 
to  return  to  the  hospital  position 
when  Melvin  Southwick  retired.  In 
the  interim  Col.  Powell  was  advisor 
to  Staff  College  for  the  Uraguayan 
government  in  Montevideo.  He 
studied  hospital  administration  at 
the  University  of  Alabama  and  di- 
rected the  Sewanee  operation  with- 
out loss  for  five  years  (1970-74)— 
indeed,  with  surpluses  totaling 
$100,000  for  the  period.  He  points 
out  that  even  with  the  $80,000 
deficit  for  1975-76  the  hospital 
provided  medical  care  for  students 
and  community  at  an  average  cost 
to  the  University  of  only  $6,000 
a  year  during  the  ten-year  span.  He 
worked  with  the  architect  to  bring 
into  being  a  model  small  hospital 
and  effected  the  move  into  it 
without  a  break  in  service. 

All  this  took  its  toll.  "I  worked 
about  358  days  a  year,  day  and 
night,"  Col.  Powell  recalls,  "but  I 
have  no  complaint.  I  have  always 
been  grateful  for  the  opportunity 
to  come  back  to  Sewanee." 

He  and  his  wife,  Marilyn,  have 
built  a  home  on  the  bluff  at  Rattle- 
snake Spring  and  will  continue  to 
live  there.  She  is  a  full-time  student 
in  the  College,  heads  the  Commun- 
ity Action  Committee  and  is  a 
member  of  the  Tennessee  Bishop 
and  Council.  They  are  the  parents 
of  four  children,  three  of  them 
alumni.

CHESTON,  PICKERING  RETIRE 


Charles  Edward  Cheston,  now  pro- 
fessor emeritus  of  forestry,  was 
bom  in  Princeton,  New  Jersey,  in 
1911.  He  is  a  graduate  of  Syracuse 
University  and  did  his  postgraduate 
work  in  forestry  at  Yale  University 
and    the    University    of    Michigan. 

He  came  to  Sewanee  after  years 
with  the  U.  S.  Forest  Service,  the 
National  Park  Service  and  the  New 
Jersey  department  of  conservation 
and  development.  Since  September 
of  1942  he  has  been  professor  of 
forestry  and  engineering  at  the 
University  of  the  South. 

He  is  a  licensed  surveyor,  and 
has  made  many  maps,  including 
a  topographical  map  of  the  entire 
University  domain  drawn  on  a  scale 
of  four  hundred  feet  to  the  inch 
and  showing  every  twenty-foot 
change  of  elevation. 

He  was  appointed  to  the 
Tennessee  Conservation  Commis- 
sion three  times  by  two  governors. 
He  has  been  president  of  the  Ten- 
nessee Foresters  Association  as  well 
as  its  secretary  for  many  years, 
chairman  of  the  Society  of  Ameri- 
can Foresters  Kentucky-Tennessee 
section,  and  a  member  of  the 
Council  of  Forest  School  Execu- 
tives. 

For  ten  years  he  was  the  Uni- 
versity's golf  coach,  with  a  winning 
collegiate  team  for  five  of  those 
years.  He  also  served  as  athletic 
director  for  a  semester. 

Most  of  his  accomplishments  at 
Sewanee  are  so  identified  with 
those  of  his  department,  now  also 
retired  in  its  original  form,  that  we 
have  reserved  them  for  a  separate 
article  below. 

Pickering  Was  Late  Bloomer 

Dr.  A.  Timothy  Pickering,  pro- 
fessor emeritus  of  Spanish,  came 
late  and  brilliantly  to  academic 
life.  A  member  of  a  Depression-hit 
family,  he  did  not  enter  college 
until  he  was  thirty  years  old.  At 
that  time,  he  was  in  a  civil  service 
job  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  and  took 
advantage  of  the  proximity  of 
Ohio  State  University  to  take 
courses  at  night.  Becoming  caught 
up  in  the  endeavor,  he  quit  his  job 


and  worked  in  an  aircraft  factory 
at  night  to  take  courses  during  the 
day.  He  finished  in  three  years, 
then  went  on  for  the  master's  and 
the  Ph.D.,  supporting  himself  vari- 
ously as  a  teaching  assistant,  waiter, 
museum  employee.  He  taught  at 
Wabash  College  in  Indiana  before 
coming  to  Sewanee  in  1951,  rising 
soon  after  to  full  professor  and 
chairman  of  the  Spanish  depart- 
ment. 

A  precise  gardener,  he  is  also  a 
ham  radio  operator.  A  few  years 
ago  he  began  to  study  Russian  by 
himself  and  now  reads  Russian 
literature  for  pleasure. 

He  is  very  tall  and  spare,  and 
so  is  his  biography.  Few  people 
have  ever  allowed  so  little  infor- 
mation to  seep  into  their  files. 
Pressed  for  details,  he  says,  "I 
have  never  done  more  than  my 
duty.  The  most  you  can  say  about 
me  is  that  I  was  never  caught  in  a 
felony.  I  have  never  written  a  book, 
and  what  articles  I  have  had  in 
scholarly  journals  strike  me  as 
insignificant  and  I  can't  remember 
either  their  titles  or  those  of  the 
journals." 

However,  his  one-time  major 
student    Joseph    R.    Jones,    C'56, 

Pickering 


who  taught  at  Sewanee  for  a  year 
and  is  now  professor  of  Spanish 
and  director  of  graduate  studies 
for  the  department  of  Spanish  and 
Italian  at  the  University  of  Ken- 
tucky, Lexington,  says  of  him: 
"There  are  two  things  that  stand 
out  in  my  mind  about  Tim  Picker- 
ing. First,  his  exceptionally  high 
standards  of  performance,  which  he 
requires  of  himself  as  well  as  every- 
body else.  I  never  knew  him  to 
come  to  class  unprepared  even 
though  he  had  been  over  the 
material  a  thousand  times.  The 
second  quality  is  his  infinite  pa- 
tience, not  only  with  students  but 
in  his  preparation.  He  would  go 
through  mountains  of  material  to 
find  exactly  the  right  things.  He 
never  wasted  a  student's  time. 
And  even  though  he  is  very  quiet, 
he  has  a  marvelous  sense  of  humor 
that  made  all  that  work  tolerable. 
—I  have  boundless  admiration  for 
him.  He  is  one  of  the  best  teachers 
I  ever  had." 

A  colleague  characterizes  him 
as  "entirely  honest  and  entirely 
kind.— How  many  are  there?"

May  14  to  honor  him  with  a  picnic 
and  loggers'  field  day. 

Students  worked  hard  setting 
up  for  the  contests,  manning  the 
registration  table,  running  a  shuttle 
service  from  the  parking  area,  and 
trucking  in  food  and  beer.  Several 
alumni  were  heard  to  remark,  "We 
should  do  this  every  year  for  a 
commencement  party!" 

Alumni  beat  the  students 
at  woodchopping,  thanks  to  the 
sizzling  axes  of  Craig  Sinclair  and 
Jimmy  Green,  and  at  crosscut  saw- 
ing. Students  won  at  canoe  racing, 
log  throwing,  tree  felling,  and  den- 
drology (alumni  were  rusty  on 
Latin  names).  Alumni  won  at  com- 
pass and  pacing.  (Students  get  lost 
in  the  woods  more  often?)  Students 
also  won   the  tug  of  war,  and  the

At  the  end  of  the  afternoon, 
the  students  named  the  forestry

alumni  presented  him  with  a

off  a  last  bit  of  horseplay  as  the

New  Directions  for  Forestry 


With  the  retirement  this  spring 
of  Charles  Edward  Cheston,  Annie 
B.  Snowden  professor  of  forestry, 
that  distinguished  fifty-four-year- 
old  department  will  take  a  new  tack. 
To  be  renamed  the  department  of 
natural  resources,  it  will  include  a 
geologist  (bringing  a  long-hoped-for 
discipline  to  the  curriculum)  to 
replace  Mr.  Cheston  and  will  have 
a  basic  science  orientation  rather 
than  a  professional  emphasis.  Stu- 
dents wishing  to  pursue  a  career  in 
forestry  will  be  guided  onto  a  3-2 
track,  similar  to  the  one  now  in 
effect  for  engineering.  That  is,  the 
student  will  spend  three  years  at 
Sewanee  and  two  years  at  a  gradu- 
ate school  of  forestry  for  a  combined 
liberal  arts  and  forestry  degree. 
General  courses  in  forestry  (forest 
ecology,  for  instance)  will  continue 
to  be  offered,  but  those  of  a  more 
specialized  professional  nature  (e.g. 
forest  management)  will  be  dropped. 

Dean  Puckette  believes  this  to 
be  more  consonant  with  the  liberal 
arts  framework  of  the  College,  and 
fairer  to  future  students.  While  the 
Sewanee  department  has  produced 
many  outstanding  foresters  and  its 
graduates  have  been  welcomed  by 
people  familiar  with  its  work,  the 
dean  believes  that  the  world  is 
becoming  more  credentials-minded. 
The  department  has  never  been 
large  enough  for  full  accreditation. 

"A  Miracle  Wrought" 

Since  the  arrival  in  1942  of 
Charles  Cheston,  a  man  of  phenom- 
enal energy,  imagination  and  drive, 
he  and  his  department  of  forestry 
have  changed  the  face  of  Sewanee 
and  in  a  very  real  way,  of  Tennessee. 

The  Sewanee  Forest,  A  Demon- 
stration of  Multiple  Use,  a  publica- 
tion of  the  University  with  two 
government  agencies  in  1966,  noted : 
"When  a  8,220-acre  forested  site 
was  acquired  for  the  University  of 
the  South  in  1857  forest  condi- 
tions throughout  the  Cumberland 
Plateau  were  impaired  by  indiscrim- 
inate cutting,  woods  burning,  and 
livestock  grazing.  Forest  stands 
were  highly  defective  and  low  in 
volume."  A  government  report  in 
1899  said:  "Coniferous  trees  are 
entirely  absent.  Excepting  white 
oak  and  yellow  poplar,  most  of  the 
trees  on  the  plateau  have  sprung  up 
from  the  stump  and  not  from  seeds, 
in  consequence  of  fires  which  must 
have  raged  on  the  plateau  since 
many  decades  of  years  with  uncon- 
trolled and  uncontrollable  force.  .  .  . 
Most  of  the  trees  now  standing  are 
fit  only  for  firewood,  for  railroad 
ties,  and,  as  far  as  chestnut  oak  is 
concerned,  for  tanning  purposes." 
From  these  sad  beginnings,  in  1952 
the  Nashville  Tennessean  Magazine 
observed  "...  a  miracle  wrought  in 
the  Sewanee  domain,  where  lessons 
of  conservation  are  taught.  .  .  .Here 
is  to  be  found  some  of  the  finest 
timber  in  Tennessee."

The  rich  forest  we  know  now, 
as  integral  a  part  of  Sewanee 's 
physical  identity  as  its  sandstone 
buildings;  its  sixteen  lakes  and 
wildlife  preserves,  its  deer  herd, 
2,000  additional  acres  bringing  it 
up  to  its  complement  of  nearly 
10,000,  all  reflect  Mr.  Cheston's 
efforts.  Two  million  trees  were 
planted  under  his  direction.  Tim- 
ber bringing  in  well  over  a  quarter 
of  a  million  dollars  was  carefully 
selected  and  cut  under  the  princi- 
ples of  forest  management. 

Mr.  Cheston  was  a  vigorous 
pioneer  of  the  doctrine  that  lum 
bering  and  good  forestry  are  mu- 
tually supportive,  and  the  Univer- 
sity forest  in  his  time  has  been 
regarded  as  a  model  of  forest 
management,  and  has  repeatedly 
been  the  subject  of  official  study. 
He  has  held  numerous  conferences 
and  workshops  for  tree  farmers 
and  lumbermen  and  has  attracted 
gifts  for  the  forestry  department 
in  the  neighborhood  of  half  a 
million  dollars  from  grateful  sup- 
porters. 

Mr.  Cheston  is  largely  respon- 
sible for  seeing  to  it  that  the 
community  has  an  adequate  water 
supply.  His  engineering,  fund- 
raising,  vision  and  persistence 
brought  about  the  sixteen  lakes 
that  keep  Sewanee  alive  and  do  so 
much  to  make  that  life  pleasant. 
One  earlier  attempt  at  a  pond  had 
given  rise  to  an  oft-repeated  rhyme 
("Guerry's  tank— it  sank")  and 
discouraged  further  efforts.  The 
eleventh  of  the  lakes,  Lake  Cheston, 
was  named  in  his  honor. 

Forty-one  Majors 

The  forested  campus  has  been 
managed  for  conservation  and 
timber  harvest  since  1898,  when  a 
contract  for  U.  S.  Forest  Service 
advisory  management  was  con- 
cluded with  Gifford  Pinchot,  then 
head  U.  S.  Forester.  A  department 
of  forestry  was  initiated  in  1923 
with  George  Garrett,  later  head  of 
forestry  at  Yale.  He  was  followed 
by  two  foresters  and  two  botanists 
before  Charles  Cheston  came  in 
1942.  Cheston  added  two  men.  For 
twenty  years  these  have  been  the 
same  two,  Henry  Wilds  Smith  and

Charles  Baird.  A  forestry  major  was 
instituted,  requiring  (with  few  and 
slight  modifications)  the  same 
liberal  arts  courses  as  the  other 
majors.  From  a  beginning  of  two 
major  students,  the  department 
now  has  forty-one. 

Other  stand-out  achievements 
of  Cheston's  administration  have 
been  the  construction  of  the 
Snowden  Forestry  Building  in  1962 
and  the  bringing  in,  next  door,  of  a 
U.  S.  Forestry  research  station, 
greatly  enhancing  the  instructional 
resources  of  the  students  and  the 
function  of  the  domain  as  a  model 
of  silviculture  for  the  area.  It  was 
on  Cheston's  recommendations  and 
active  political  follow-through  that 
the  station  was  established. 

Gifts  from  thirty-one  lumber 
companies  made  possible  the  panel- 
ing of  rooms  and  corridors  in  the 
Snowden  Building  in  twenty-eight 
different  woods.  Capital  gifts  of 
$150,000  went  into  the  construc- 
tion. A  collection  of  7,000  wood 
samples,  said  to  be  the  second 
largest  in  America,  was  another  gift. 

Gavels  of  298  wood  specimens

fish-fuddletree"  and  an  assemblage 
of  other  wood  artifacts,  also  gifts, 
have  drawn  tourists  to  the  building's 
museum  room  as  well  as  serving  as 
teaching  tools. 

When  the  first  coeds  entered 
the  University  in  1969,  a  number 
of  them,  rather  to  everyone's 
surprise,  elected  the  discipline  of 
forestry  and  planned  careers  on  it. 
Actually,  since  the  beginning, 
women  and  forestry  have  not  been 
strangers.  George  Garrett's  Patrol- 
men's News  in  1925  had  this  nota- 
tion: "About  fifty  women  fire 
fighters  helping  on  the  fire  line 
this  spring."  And  (in  No.  21): 
"Mr.  I.  L.  Maples  (sic)  is  having 
his  front  porch  painted.  The  work 
is  being  done  by  two  fair  ladies." 

A  celebration  in  1975  of  fifty 
years  of  forestry  at  Sewanee  drew 
thirty-one  participants  from  nine 
states,  many  of  them  graduates 
of  the  department  now  in  high 
places  in  the  teaching  and  prac- 
tice of  forestry.  George  Garrett, 
the  first  professor  of  forestry 
here,  was  an  honored  guest. 

Three  quotations  (source  not 
given)  which  someone  thought 
enough  of  to  paste  on  the  inside 
front  cover  of  the  forestry  scrap- 
book  tell  much  about  the  values 
that  have  been  held  among  these 
encompassing  contributors  to  the 
history  of  the  University: 

"Giving  is  the  secret  of  a 
healthy  life.  Not  necessarily  money, 
but  whatever  a  man  has  of  encour- 
agement and  sympathy  and  under- 
standing." 

"It  is  very  easy  to  forgive  others 
their  mistakes;  it  takes  more  grit 
and  gumption  to  forgive  them  for 
having  witnessed  your  own." 

"Only  those  who  have  the 
patience  to  do  simple  things  perfect- 
ly ever  acquire  the  skill  to  do  diffi- 
cult things  easily." 

The  department  of  natural 
resources  has  a  firm  line  to  hew  to.

THE SEWANEE  NEWS 


What  1,238  Alumni  Think  — Part  II 


In  questionnaires  returned  by  College  alumni  a 
number  of  questions  and  a  few  misconceptions 
surfaced,  which  we  now  take  the  opportunity  to 
address. 

Two  alumni  wanted  to  know  how  confirm- 
ations since  mandatory  chapel  was  dropped 
compare  with  those  before.  In  giving  us  these 
figures,  Chaplain  Charles  Kiblinger  points  out 
that  confirmations  nationwide  have  been  in  a 
steady  decline  for  the  past  twenty  years. 

At  Sewanee,  in  the  six  years  before  1970 
when  chapel  attendance  was  compulsory  for 
graduation,  fifty-three  students  from  all  three 
units  were  confirmed.  For  1971-76  the  figure 
was  seventy-one.  Perhaps  of  even  greater  interest 
is  the  number  of  communions  taken  in  All 
Saints'  Chapel.  For  the  last  years  of  mandatory 
chapel  they  averaged  about  8,500  a  year.  In 
1973  there  were  12,500;  in  1974  there  were 
15,750;  in  1975  there  were  16,500;  and  in 
1976  there  were  18,000.  Chaplain  Kiblinger 
recalls  that  when  he  was  an  undergraduate 
fruitfully  busy  for  another  twenty      in  the  sixties,  "There  was  a  good  deal  of  apathy, 

resentment  and  hostility  connected  with  chapel

suggestions  could  keep  us

attendance.  Now  all  who  are  there,  are  there 
because  they  want  to  be,  and  there  is  active, 
lively  participation." 

(Paragraph  on  falling  credentials?) 

A  number  of  respondents  express  confusion 
about  the  current  dress  code,  commenting  that 
photographs  do  not  indicate  the  wearing  of 
coats  and  ties  that  they  remember.  It  is  true  that 
the  code  has  been  modified.  The  handbook 
currently  states;  '|Jn  accordance  with  Sewanee 
tradition,  men  wear  coats  'and  ties  and  women 
wear  skirts  or  dresses  (except  in  inclement 
weather)    to  classes  and  Concert  Series  events." 

There  were  several  inquiries  about  the 
plan  to  provide  requirements  for  teacher's 
certificates.  This  is  now  operative  (see  March, 
1977  Sewanee  News). 

"Whatever  happened  to  the  second  college 
in  the  Oxford  tradition?"  one  alumnus  asked. 
The  advisability  of  a  multi-college  system 
was  examined  in  some  depth  by  a  committee 
of  the  1974  Self-Study,  and  the  following 
recommendation  emerged:  "We  strongly  re- 
commend that  Sewanee  not  attempt  to  create 
one  or  more  additional  college  units  in  the  next 
ten  years.  Given  the  present  size  of  the  Uni- 
versity we  feel  that  such  a  course  is  not  feasible 
or  desirable;  but  even  were  the  University  to 
expand  (about  which  we  have  grave  reservations), 
we  would  question  the  advisability  of  a  multi- 
college  system." 

One  questionnaire  response  says,  "I  approve 
of  financial  aid  in  certain  cases,  but  would  like 
to  know  what  percentage  of  Sewanee's  budget 
is  being  utilized  for  this  purpose."  In  1975-76, 
the  year  referred  to  in  the  survey,  $114,400  of 
unrestricted  funds  was  allotted,  or  1.2%  of  the 
total  operating  budget.  In  actuality  only 
$44,599  was  spent,  or  .47%.  In  the  1976-77 
budget  the  percentage  was  1.6%.  Projected  for 
1977-78  is  1.1%. 

"I  ask  a  question,"  another  respondent 
writes.  "Most  colleges  lower  standards  to 
minorities.  I  hope  Sewanee  doesn't."  No,  says 
Albert  Gooch,  director  of  admissions,  it  does 
not.  While  negative  factors  in  the  cultural 
backgrounds  of  all  applicants  are  considered 
in  weighing  SAT  scores,  no  one  is  admitted 
unless  there  is  a  reasonable  expectation  that 
he/she  will  pass. 


A  recent  graduate  would  like  to  know 
"where  the  notion  of  the  'hidden  tuition' 
came  from.  Sewanee  is  the  only  school  that 
I've  heard  of  that  has  this,  and  most  schools 
are  cheaper  than  Sewanee  with  no  hidden 
means  of  support."  Wrong.  Tuition  pays  the 
full  cost  at  practically  no  reputable  institution 
of  higher  education.  Taxes  pay  most  of  it  at 
publicly  supported  colleges  and  universities. 
Private  ones  make  up  the  difference  from 
gifts.  At  Vanderbilt  tuition  covers  about  a  third 
of  the  cost.  At  Amherst,  Bowdoin  and  David- 
son, colleges  roughly  comparable  in  size  and 
objectives,  the  proportion  is  about  the  same 
as  Sewanee's— half  and  half. 

An  alumnus  of  the  '40s  says,  "The  curricu- 
lum needs  further  enrichment:  sociology, 
Italian,  Russian."  Anthropology,  which  may 
be  considered  the  basic  discipline  for  sociology, 
is  taught.  So  is  Italian,  and  there  is  a  major- 
offering  department  of  Russian. 

A  man  inquires  about  "John  Patton's 
(janitor  at  Hoffman)  asthma.  Hope  he  has 
improved." 

We  have  a  direct  response  to  this.  "Dear 
alumnus:  I  am  very  grateful  for  your  concern. 
My  health  has  not  improved  very  much,  but  I 
have  managed  to  stay  out  of  the  hospital  the 
latter  part  of  '76  and  the  first  part  of  '77.  That 
is  a  blessing.  I  hope  my  progress  will  continue. 
I  would  like  very  much  to  hear  from  you 
whoever  you  are.  Very  sincerely,  John  Patton.' 

One  respondent  objects  to  "the  large  alio 
cation  of  funds  to  St.  Andrew's  and  SMA."  St 
Andrew's  has  never  been  a  part  of  the  Univer 
sity  and  has  not  received  any  of  its  funds,  and 
SMA  is  no  longer  SMA  (it  is  now  the  Sewanee 
Academy).  It  is  the  oldest  of  the  University's 
three  units,  and  the  corporation  has  always  seen 
its  mandate  from  the  Episcopal  Church  for 
secondary  education  at  the  Academy  to  be  as 
compelling  as  that  for  higher  education  in  the 
College  and  the  School  of  Theology. 

The  two  writers  who  objected  to  Sewanee's 
not  being  coeducational  and  to  its  use  of 
"graduate  students  to  teach  seminar  courses 
or  independent  study"  are  also  on  infirm  ground, 
as  is  the  man  who  deplores  athletic  scholarships. 
Swiss  seaports,  all. 

We  were  unable  to  accommodate  a  few 
requests— such  as  one  for  a  catalog— because 
there  were  no  names  on  the  survey  forms, 
and  these  were  separated  from  the  envelopes  and 
other  material  before  examination  to  preserve 
anonymity  for  those  desiring  it. 

The  editors  of  this  magazine  naturally  had  a 
strong  interest  in  the  response  to  item  18,  "I 
would  like  to  have  more  news  from  Sewanee 
on  these  topics:"  The  outpouring  of  requests 
and  suggestions  could  keep  us  fruitfully  busy 
for  another  twenty  years.  A  good  deal  of  stimu- 
lation has  already  occurred  and  has  affected  the 
contents  of  recent  issues  of  the  magazine  and 
other  communications  with  alumni. 

Most  frequent  requests  (duly  noted)  are  for 
more  pictures,  more  news  of  faculty,  classmates, 
current  students  and  sports.  On  the  other  hand, 
speaking  for  a  small  but  vocal  minority,  is  one 
man:  "New  courses,  statistics  as  to  academic 
standing  of  college,  generally  a  Sewanee  News 
that  gives  scholarship  some  play  amidst  its 
concern  with  sports,  solicitations  and  stuffed 
shirts!" 


Herewith  a  cross-section : 
"From  time  to  time  I  see  things  by  Sewanee 
people  in  magazines.  For  example,  I've  noted 
contributions  by  S.  Bates,  B.  Dunlap  and  R. 
Tillinghast  in  the  New  Republic.  Perhaps  the 
Sewanee  News  could  alert  us  to  such."  Please 
tell  us,  and  we'll  be  glad  to  pass  it  along.  "Please 
do  not  list  papers  in  scholarly  journals."  Why 
not? 

"Alumni  news,  listing  of  fraternity  member- 
ship where  alumni  are  mentioned." 

"Are  current  high  school  graduates  (nation- 
wide and  Sewanee  applicant-acceptant-matri- 
culant)  better  prepared  or  more  poorly  pre- 
pared?" 

"News  of  student,  faculty  and  alumni 
achievements  in  the  world  of  literature  and 
ideas.  More  news  of  what  goes  on  in  the  class- 
room. If  you  have  professors  who  serve  as 
intellectual  yeast,  publish  more  of  their  ideas 
and  lectures  for  the  alumni.  Our  professional 
lives  may  call  for  academic  retreading  once  in  a 
while,  but  professional  seminars  don't  give  us 
what  a  Sewanee  refresher  would!"  Sounds  like 
a  prime  candidate  for  the  Alumni  Summer 
College. 

"The  admissions  program  and  how  the 
admissions  counselors  operate  to  recruit 
students  for  the  University." 

"Why  some  full  professors  have  to  teach 
twelve  hours  and  not  just  nine.  What  are  the 
salaries  for  instructors  and  assistant  professors? " 
"Seven-eighths  of  the  news  from  Sewanee 
asks  for  money.  Fine  and  legitimate,  but  needs 
leavening  with  some  of  the  ferment  one  re- 
members, not  the  saccharine  alumni-ese  of 
the  other  one-eighth." 
"Just  more  news." 

"I  enjoy  the  news  as  it  comes  and  costs  do 

prevent    too    elaborate    a    report    to    alumni." 

"Use    and    management    of  the   University 

Domain.   Concern   for   the  land  is  a  Southern 

tradition,  and  how  an  institution  blessed  with 

good  holdings  handles  them  should  be  of  more 

than  casual  interest  to  us  all."  (Smokejumper) 

"Where   the   funds   contributed   by   alumni 

are   being   spent   under   the   current  budget." 

"Endowment  investments." 

"Are  the  professors'  salaries  competitive?" 

"Selection  of  trustees  for  the  University." 

"Families    who    continue   to   serve   on   the 

Mountain,  generation  after  generation." 

"Local  geology.  I  was  much  interested  in 
caves  when  I  was  there." 

"Some  analysis  of  trends  in  education  at 
Sewanee  and  in  the  world.  Maybe  an  editorial 
column." 

"Controversies  on  campus." 
"Financial   aid   and  scholarships.  Who  gets 
them  and  how?" 

"More  financial  data.  Have  seen  only  one 
corporate  annual  report  for  the  University  in 
twenty  years." 

"Factual  articles  by  the  faculty  (or  students) 
on  straightforward  Sewanee  topics  such  as 
geology  of  the  area,  history,  biography,  archi- 
tecture, etc.  No  one,  for  example,  has  ever 
written  a  good-humored,  expository  account  of 
the  neo-gothic  mode  in  Sewanee  and  its  impli- 
cations. People  are  FOR  or  AGAINST." 

"The  fishing— I  did  a  lot  when  I  was  there. 
The  forestry  department,  especially  Dr.  Smith, 
my  favorite  person  at  Sewanee." 

"The  components  of  the  budget  and  how 
it  compares  to  other  liberal  arts  institutions 
of  the  same  caliber  as  Sewanee." 

"I  would  like  to  see  courses  required  for 
all     freshmen    in    expository    writing    (maybe 


English  majors  could  help  grade  papers).  An 
invaluable  skill  needed  especially  for  today's 
high  school  graduates." 

"Schedules  of  sports  activities  and  cultural 
events.  Information  on  alumni  privileges  in 
regard  to  use  of  University  facilities-tennis 
courts,  gym,  golf  course,  etc."  (Alumni  may 
use  all  these  facilities.  There  is  a  special  dis- 
count at  special  times  of  the  year,  such  as 
Commencement,  alumni  and  trustees'  meet- 
ings, etc.,  and  at  other  times  the  regular

Several  alumni  express  an  interest  in  the 
current  occupations  of  their  fellows.  One  asks 
specifically  about  the  occupational  fate  of 
70s  graduates  in  their  tight  job  market.  The 
eagerly  awaited  alumni  directory  will  provide 
a  comprehensive  answer;  meanwhile,  since  one 
of  the  survey  questions  concerned  occupation, 
we  have  tabulated  this  information  from  those 
who  furnished  it.

A  REPORT  ON  PREMEDICAL  EDUCATION  AT  SEWANEE 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


James  N.  Lowe,  Chairman 
Premedical  Advisory  Committee 

This  yeaf  nineteen  Sewanee 
seniors  are  applying  to  medical  and 
dental  schools.  While  Sewanee  con- 
tinues to  offer  its  premedical  stu- 
dents a  broad  libera]  arts  education 
together  with  rigorous  training  in 
the  sciences,  many  changes  have 
occurred  in  the  advising  system  for 
these  students  and  in  the  way  in 
which  we  recommend  students. 
This  is  a  report  to  the  alumni  on 
changes  1  have  seen  in  eight  years 
on  the  Premedical  Advisory  Com- 
mittee including  three  years  as 
committee  chairman. 

Sewanee  has  had  a  long  history 
of  association  with  medical  educa- 
tion. At  one  time,  it  even  hail  a 
medical  college.  Many  doctors  in- 
cluding many  current  faculty  mem- 
bers of  medical  schools  received 
their  undergraduate  education  at 
Sewanee.  This  report  is  the  latest 
chapter  in  a  long  and  colorful  story. 

What  kind  of  job  is  Sewanee 
doing  now?  What  happens  to  her 
students  who  apply  to  medical 
school?  How  does  the  Premedical 
Advisory  Committee  at  Sewanee 
evaluate  applicants?  Or,  for  many 
of  the  readers,  the  question  may  be 
"How  have  things  changed  since  I, 
or  a  close  friend,  was  a  part  of  the 
program?"  Dramatic  changes  in 
medical  school  education  and  ad- 
missions have  occurred  in  the 
twelve  years  I  have  taught  at 
Sewanee.  Sewanee  has  responded  to 
these  changes.  Pride  in  this  year's 
senior  premedical  and  predental 
students  and  in  the  time,  care  and 
concern  shown  by  the  seven  faculty 
members  on  the  committee  prompt 
me  to  think  that  we  at  Sewanee 
deserve  to  brag  a  bit. 

Beginning  in  the  late  1960s, 
admission  to  medical  school  became 
much  more  competitive.  The  num- 
ber of  applicants  jumped  rapidly 
while  the  number  of  available 
places  grew  slowly.  Two  major 
changes  in  admissions  policies 
occurred.  Pressed  by  an  abundant 
supply  of  qualified  students  and  by 
changes  in  medicine  itself,  medical 
schools  selected  students  with  even 
higher  grade-point  averages  for 
increasingly  demanding  curricula. 
They  then  became  intensely  aware 
that  GPAs  and  test  scores  were  not 
good  predictors  for  performance  in 
the  clinical  years  or  in  medical  prac- 
tice. Qualities  of  the  physician  such 


as  sensitivity  and  compassion  have 
continued  to  play  an  important 
part  in  the  outcome  of  an  illness. 

However,  given  the  very  large 
number  of  applicants  (5,400  appli- 
cants for  83  places  at  Vanderbilt 
in  1975;  820  in  state  applicants 
for  204  places  at  Tennessee),  it 
became  increasingly  difficult  for 
medical  schools  to  look  at  personal 
qualities  important  for  success  in 
medicine.  Admissions  committees 
asked  the  undergraduate  institutions 
for  more  help  both  in  realistic  ad- 
vising of  premedical  students  and  in 
trying  to  assess  the  total  person 
when  writing  letters  of  recommen- 
dation. 

Sewanee 's  response  centered  in 
a  faculty  committee,  the  Premedical 
Advisory  Committee.  Under  Charles 
Foreman  the  committee  evaluation 
became  recognized  here  and  at  medi- 
cal schools  as  the  most  important 
letter  of  recommendation.  A  stand- 
ard   was    needed.    One   admissions 


director  commented,  "Every  stu- 
dent can  find  three  faculty  mem- 
bers to  recommend  him  highly, 
and  three  who  would  not." 

The  committee  letter  seeks  to 
describe  the  student,  commenting 
on  both  strengths  and  weaknesses. 
"Help  the  student  put  his  best  foot 
forward  for  the  interview,"  sug- 
gested another  admissions  director. 
It  is  a  candid  letter  written  in  the 
belief  that  knowing  a  student 
better  may  help  both  our  student 
and  the  school  to  which  he  is 
applying.  The  committee  also  gives 
each  student  an  overall  evaluation. 
The  categories  are:  "highly  recom- 
mended," "recommended  with 
confidence,"  "recommended," 

"recommended  with  reservations" 
and  "not  recommended."  When  a 
student  is  recommended  with  reser- 
vations, these  reservations  are  de- 
scribed in  the  letter  and  additional 
sources  of  evidence  for  further 
evaluation  are  suggested.  For  ex- 
ample,  a  student   who   performed 


badly  in  his  first  three  semesters 
of  college  may  be  doing  much 
better  at  the  time  he  applies.  The 
committee  may  still  have  some 
reservations  about  that  student's 
ability  to  maintain  his  good  per- 
formance and  may  suggest  a  close 
look  at  the  first  semester's  work 
during  the  senior  year.  A  cover 
letter  is  also  sent.  It  describes  the 
evaluation  process  and  gives  the 
percentages  of  students  of  earlier 
years  placed  in  each  category. 
The  nature  of  the  committee 
changed  as  well  as  its  procedure. 
The  committee  was  expanded  when 
Dr.  Foreman  became  chairman.  Its 
composition  shifted  toward  the 
humanities  when  I  became  chair- 
man. This  year's  members  are 
David  Camp  (chemistry),  Henrietta 
Croom  (biology),  Mary  L.  Cushman 
(education  and  dean  of  women), 
Jack  Lorenz  (physics),  Gerald  Smith 
(religion),  Edwin  Stirling  (English) 
and  James  Lowe  (chemistry).  As  a 
measure    of    commitment    to    the 


work  of  the  committee,  each  of  the 
four  members  who  will  be  on  leave 
next  year  chooses  his  own  replace- 
ment. We  sought  to  continue  a 
broad-based  committee  whose 
members  bring  together  a  wide 
variety  of  concerns  yet  can  listen 
to  one  another  and  be  willing  to 
modify  our  judgments. 


This  year,  each  senior  had  an 
individual  interview  with  every 
member  of  the  committee.  These 
interviews  lasted  from  thirty 
minutes  to  over  an  hour.  The 
committee  then  held  a  series  of 
evaluation  sessions.  We  discussed 
strengths  and  weaknesses  of  each 
applicant,    then    sought   to    arrive 


Ogden  Robertson 


at  an  overall  impression  of  the 
student.  Letter  writers  were 
assigned.  Each  letter  was  then 
read  (and  modified)  by  two  other 
committee  members  before  it  was 
mailed.  Much  time  was  invested  in 
this  process.  In  addition  to  trying 
to  give  our  students  a  careful 
evaluation,  we  gave  them  an  oppor- 
tunity to  express  their  views  in  an 
interview  situation  on  a  variety  of 
topics  related  to  medicine. 

What  are  the  results?  During 
the  seven  years  1970-1976,  the 
percentage  of  applicants  nation- 
wide who  were  admitted  to  medical 
school  dropped  from  about  45%  to 
near  35%.  On  the  average,  about 
four  in  ten  applicants  were  admit- 
ted. During  the  same  period,  fifty- 
three  of  our  seventy-seven  appli- 
cants were  admitted  to  the  study  of 
medicine:  forty -seven  to  medicine, 
five  to  dentistry  and  one  to  osteo- 
pathy. (The  data  for  Sewanee  is  not 
directly  comparable.  It  includes  all 
graduates  who  applied  to  medical 
or  dental  school  including  a  few 
students  not  premeds  as  under- 
graduates who  later  applied  to 
medical  school.  Some  students 
reapplied  after  either  additional 
work  or  study  for  one  or  more 
years  before  being  admitted.)  We 
placed  69%  of  our  students,  almost 
seven  of  ten,  during  this  competi- 
tive period. 

Sewanee  graduates  of  the  past 
few  years  are  now  studying  medi- 
cine in  private  schools  (Creighton, 
Emory,  Tulane,  Vanderbilt,  and 
Washington)  and  at  state  medical 
schools     in     Alabama,    California, 


Georgia,  Florida,  Louisiana,  Missis- 
sippi, Tennessee,  and  Texas.  As  of 
April  6  of  this  year,  fourteen  of 
nineteen  seniors  had  been  admitted. 
(Nationally,  about  nine  of  twenty 
seniors  were  admitted.)  Included  in 
the  nineteen  applicants  are  three 
black    students    and    two    women. 

We  should  expect  Sewanee  to 
do  a  good  job  of  premedical  edu- 
cation. We  admit  many  good  stu- 
dents. A  broad  liberal  arts  educa- 
tion, an  atmosphere  of  personal 
respect  and  integrity,  symbolized 
by  the  honor  code,  and  religious 
concerns  of  many  students  and 
faculty  are  strengths  of  this  college. 
There  is  still  another  advantage  I 
stress  to  prospective  students.  Se- 
wanee premedical  students  take 
many  courses  together.  They  know 
one  another  and  help  one  another. 
Since  they  come  from  many  states, 
they  can  consider  their  classmates 
as  friends  and  colleagues  rather 
than  rivals  for  the  same  places  in 
a  medical  school  class. 

I  have  spoken  repeatedly  of  a 
premedical  program,  yet  we  do  not 
have  a  premedical  major.  Certain 
courses  designated  by  medical 
schools  are  required  of  all  premedi- 
cal students.  In  addition,  all  take 
additional  advanced  biology  or 
chemistry  courses.  Many  major  in 
biology  or  chemistry,  but  we  also 
have  English,  physics,  political 
science,  and  religion  majors  in 
medical  schools. 

Students  should  and  do  major 
in  a  discipline  they  like— after  all,  , 
they  may  not  enter  medicine.  We 
urge  students  to  prepare  for  an 
alternate  career  even  as  they  pre- 
pare for  medicine.  "If  a  student 
is  not  mature  enough  to  prepare 
for  an  alternate  career,  he  is  not 
mature  enough  to  be  a  physician," 
states   another  admissions  officer. 

What  can  alumni  do  to  help 
the  premedical  program  at  Sewa- 
nee? A  few  may  be  able  to  help 
our  students  who  seek  to  work  at 
a  hospital  in  the  summer.  Many  of 
you  might  aid  in  bringing  to  Se- 
wanee qualified  students  with 
interest  in  medical  careers.  Ulti- 
mately, we  are  known  to  medical 
colleges  by  the  students  we  send 
them.  Sewanee  needs  to  be  grad- 
uating at  least  a  dozen  premedical 
students  a  year  to  keep  close  con- 
tacts with  the  many  medical 
schools  our  students  attend.  We 
enjoy  working  with  our  premed- 
ical students.  Student  and  faculty 
morale  is  high.  We  could  continue 
to  do  a  good  job  with  still  more 
students. 

Dr.  Lowe  is  associate  professor 
of    chemistry    in    the    College.

Florida  Mission  History 

The  Sound  of  Bells;  The  Episcopal 
Church  in  South  Florida,  1892-1969.  By 
Joseph  D.  Cushman,  Jr.  Gainesville: 
University  Presses  of  Florida,  1976.  378 
pp.  $15.00. 

This  volume  is  the  successor  to 
Dr.  Cushman 's  A  Goodly  Heritage: 
The  Episcopal  Church  in  Florida, 
1821-1892  (Gainesville:  University 
of  Florida  Press,  1965),  which  was 
his  Ph.D.  dissertation  done  at  Flor- 
ida State  University  in  1962.  A 
Goodly  Heritage  traces  the  history 
of  the  Diocese  of  Florida  from 
the  beginnings  of  the  Episcopal 
Church  until  the  division  and 
creation  of  the  missionary  juris- 
diction of  Southern  Florida. 

The  Sound  of  Bells  (from  hear- 
ing the  mission  bells  toll)  is  the 
story  of  the  missionary  jurisdic- 
tion of  Southern  Florida  through 
the  creation  of  the  Diocese  of 
South  Florida  (1922)  to  the  divi- 
sion of  this  Diocese  in  1969  into 
the  Dioceses  of  Central  Florida 
(Bishop  William  H.  Folwell),  South- 
east Florida  (Bishop  James  L. 
Duncan)  and  Southwest  Florida 
(Bishop  E.  Paul  Haynes).  This  need 
to  subdivide  illustrates  the  growth 
of  the  Episcopal  Church  in  Florida. 

There  has  been  much  criticism 
of  denominational  history  writing 
in  the  United  States  and  of  regional 
denominational  histories  that  treat 
dioceses,  synods,  presbyteries  and 
other  jurisdictions.  Frequently 
these  histories  are  no  more  than 
chronicles,  facte  and  dates,  with 
no  analysis  and  interpretation. 
Often  they  are  written  without 
regard  to  the  larger  context  and 
environment.  Professor  Cushman 
does  a  good  job  of  interpretation 
and  of  showing  the  broader  context. 

A  diocesan  history  takes  on 
flesh  in  the  lives  of  its  clergy  and 
bishops.  Cushman  does  well  in 
treating  the  diocese's  four  bishops: 
William  Crane  Gray  (1892-1914), 
Cameron  Mann  (1914-1932),  who 
was  also  a  poet,  John  Durham  Wing 
(1932-1950),  and  Henry  Irving 
Louttit  (1951-1969).  It  might  be  of 
Sewanee  interest  that  Bishop 
William  C.  Gray's  brother,  Charles 
Mcllvaine  Gray,  pp.  90,  102,  144, 
357,  was  the  first  student  of  the 
University  of  the  South  to  be 
ordained:  deacon,  May  26,  1872; 
priest  October  18,  1874.  (There  is 
some  confusion  in  the  text  and  the 
index  between  Charles  M.  Gray  and 
Charles  M.  Gray  II,  the  organist  at 
St.  Peter's  Church,  St.  Petersburg.) 

One  other  minor  criticism.  In 
discussing  Bishop  Gray's  theology, 
Cushman  says:  ".  .  .  he  regarded 
confirmation  not  merely  as  an  act 
of  renewing  one's  baptismal  vows, 


something  that  man  does  for  God; 
but  as  the  bestowal  of  the  gifts  of 
the  Holy  Spirit,  something  that 
God  does  for  man.  Confirmation, 
then,  was  in  its  highest  sense  the 
ordination  of  the  laity."  Actually, 
the  criticism  is  of  Bishop  Gray, 
for  never  have  I,  in  my  study  of  the 
Christian  tradition,  seen  confirma- 
tion as  ordination.  Baptism  has 
always  been  the  ordination  of  the 
laity.  A  reference  for  the  bishop's 
idea  would  have  helped. 

This  is  a  good  diocesan  history 
and  should  provide  insight  into  the 
Episcopal  Church  in  South  Florida.

Scarbrough  Poems 

"A  large  book  of  poems  from  a 
small  press"  is  what  Iris  Press  terms 
its  publication  of  George  Scar- 
brough: New  and  Selected  Poems, 
1977.  Allen  Tate  has  said  of  Scar- 
brough (C'44):  "In  my  opinion  his 
is  one  of  the  few  genuine  poetic 
talents  to  appear  in  the  South  in 
the  past  generation.  I  hope  his  work 
gets  the  attention  it  deserves."  And 
James  Dickey:  "George  Scar- 
brough's  poems  have  carried  him 
deep  into  the  very  heart  of  the 
Southern  land.  The  medium  is 
words,  and  on  the  superbly  imagin- 
ative use  of  these,  he  has  arrived 
at  the  deepest  roots,  beyond  what 
could  be  imagined  by  anyone  less 
than  a  true  poet.  Anyone  who  gives 
himself  without  reserve  to  George 
Scarbrough 's  poems  will  find  his 
life  renewed." 

In  a  handsomely  printed  flyer 
the  publisher  says,  "With  George 
Scarbrough:  New  and  Selected 
Poems  Iris  Press  continues  its 
policy  of  offering  significant  and 
readable  literature  in  books  de- 
signed by  imaginative  artists  and 
produced  with  fine  materials  and

Bishop  Guerry  Biography 

Twentieth  Century  Prophet,  Being  the 
Life  and  Thought  of  William  Alexander 
Guerry,  Eighth  Bishop  of  South  Carolina. 
Edited  by  his  son,  the  Rev.  Canon 
Edward  B.  Guerry.  The  University  Press 
at  Sewanee,  Tennessee,  1976.  212  pp. 
$5.00  (May  be  ordered  from  St.  Luke's

When  one  considers  men  who 
made  Sewanee— and  women  too- 
one  also  thinks  of  families  which 
made  Sewanee.  Among  them— 
Kirby-Smith,  yes;  Cobbs,  yes.  But 
consider  Guerry  and  related  tribes 
They  are  mainly  Scots,  Huguenots 
French  and  British.  Add  an  Irish 
man  or  two.  The  names,  when  cross 
checked  against  the  Centennial 
Alumni  Directory,  are  so  formid 
able  as  to  be  frightening.  LeGrand 
McBee  (and  don't  you  pronounce 
it  any  way  but  MACbee!),  Capers 
Felder,  Brailsford,  DuBose,  Moul 
trie,  Ainslie,  Sumner,  Patten 
Vardry,  Echols,  Alexander,  Duke 
Hunt,  Dempsey,  Baker,  Brunson 
Williams,  Perry,  Hoke,  Mikell— they 
are    all    there,    Guerry-connected 

It's  a  joy  for  the  amateur 
historian,  or  archivist,  or  genealo 
gist  to  savor  the  flavor  of  familiar 
names— great  names— many  of  them 
more  than  familiar.  One  of  them 
changed  the  reviewer's  life.  Others 
profoundly  affected  the  career  of 
the  institution  he  cherishes,  and 
others  shared  experiences  most  inti- 
mate. This  review  is  not  objective. 

The  subject  of  this  biography 
is  one  of  three  Episcopal  prelates 
to  die  from  gunshot:  Leonidas 
Polk,  Guerry,  and  Dillard  Brown 
of  Liberia,  the,  latter  two  by  per- 
sons charitably  called  demented. 
The  secretary  of  Bishop  Guerry 
described  to  me  her  horror  as 
she  heard  in  the  adjoining  office 
the  rising  voice  of  the  racist  priest 
threatening  his  bishop,  known  in 
his  day  as  a  Christian  liberal— who 
among  other  acts  "adopted"  a 
failing  Black  Baptist  college  (1922) 
known  as  Voorhees. 

This  book  is  a  guided  tour 
through   the   powerful  intellect  of 


a  man  always  willing  to  grapple 
with  the  most  basic  and  difficult 
issues  of  his  time.  Bishop  Guerry 
was  a  man  of  profound  faith  who 
willingly  came  to  grips  with  doubt. 
He  did  not  dodge  the  thorny  prob- 
lems of  his  Southland  under  Re- 
construction, the  Negro  in  the 
Church,  the  Miracles,  divorce,  the 
Sacraments,  healing.  He  faced  them 
all  in  cogent  sermons  selected  by  a 
discriminating  editor.  From  today's 
perspectives,  perhaps  his  great  in- 
sight was  ecumenism,  which  in  his 
time  was  called  "Church  unity."  No 
Sewanee  student  of  his  time— or 
a  score  of  years  before  or  after- 
failed  to  be  awed  by  (and  marked 
for  life  by)  William  Porcher  DuBose. 
Guerry 's  tribute  to  DuBose  satur- 
ates the  reader.  Guerry  projects 
Sewanee 's  greatest  teacher. 

Guerry  stood  for  national  con- 
cepts at  a  time  when  the  regional 
were  sentimentally  so  attractive. 
He  favored  revision  of  the  1922 
Prayer  Book,  saying  in  effect,  "Pre- 
serve the  faith  and  doctrine  but 
adapt  to  new  usages."  Although  he 
favored  the  "full  Bishop  with  juris- 
diction" he  went  along  with  the 
experiment  of  Black  suffragan 
bishops  in  a  couple  of  dioceses. 
About  authoritarianism  he  said, 
"There  are  no  mysteries  which 
cannot  be  investigated." 

One  of  the  great  vignettes  of 
the  Chaplain  (later  Bishop)  Guerry 
home  at  Sewanee  (father,  mother, 
one  daughter,  four  sons)  is  the 
account  of  the  trauma  of  Ely 
Green,  the  half-white  lad  of  nine 
who  found  comfort  in  that  house 
at  Sewanee  after  having  been 
blasted  as  "nigger"— a  term  (to 
Sewanee 's  credit)  he  had  never 
heard. 

Two  complaints  I  lodge  against 
my  dear  friend  Edward,  the  "onlie 
begetter"  of  this  book.  Edward,  the 
next  edition  MUST  have  an  index. 
And  why,  Edward,  in  your  com- 
pendium of  cousins,  did  you  have 
to  omit  the  wealthiest  of  all,  the 
descendants  of  that  McBee  priest, 
who  might  have  endowed  the  Uni- 
versity of  the  South  if  you  had  said 
something  about  them?  Edward, 
Edward.  You  should  have  let  me 
read  the  galleys  instead  of  the 
finished  book.

Church  Mission  Goals 

Realities  and  Visions:  The  Church's 
Mission  Today.  Edited  by  Furman  C. 
Stough  and  Urban  T.  Holmes  III.  New 
York:  Seabury/Crossroad,  1976.  188  pp. 
$3.95 

This  is  the  third  of  three  "mo- 
saic" volumes  commissioned  by 
Presiding  Bishop  John  M.  Allin, 
C'43,  T'45,  H'62.  The  first  two, 
of  which  Dean  Holmes  was  also 
co-editor,  were  To  Be  a  Priest  and 
Male  and  Female. 

Realities  and  Visions  focuses  on 
the  directions  its  twenty-two  con- 
tributors would  like  the  Church's 
missionary  efforts  to  take  in  the 
next  decade.  A  review  in  the  Living 
Church  (January  30,  1977)  by  the 
Rev.  John  Baiz  singles  out  the  essay 
by  the  School  of  Theology's  Dr. 
Charles  Winters:  "(He)  writes  pro- 
vocatively on  'Theological  Educa- 
tion in  the  Next  Decade,'  placing 
great  emphasis  on  theological  edu- 
cation for  the  laity  and  continuing 
education  for  both  laity  and 
clergy."  Bishop  Stough,  the  co- 
editor,    is    C'51,   T'55,   and   H'71. 


Teaching  Series 

Dean  Holmes  is  on  the  steering 
committee  for  the  New  Church's 
Teaching  Series,  the  official  teach- 
ing series  of  the  Episcopal  Church. 
The  seven-volume  publication  will 
replace  the  present  six-volume  set 
in  use  for  the  last  thirty  years. 
The  series  is  expected  to  be 
ready  in  1978  and  will  contain 
two  volumes  co-authored  by  Se- 
wanee  people.  Dean  Holmes  is 
writing  the  one  called  "Christian 
Believing  in  the  Contemporary 
World"  with  Madeleine  L'Engle, 
and  the  Rev.  Charles  Winters, 
professor  of  dogmatic  theology 
and  director  of  the  fast-growing 
theology  by  extension  program, 
will  be  the  author  with  Richard 
Norris  of  the  one  on  the  faith  of 
the  Church.  The  Rev.  John  M. 
Gessell,  professor  of  Christian 
ethics,  is  a  member  of  the  sub- 
committee on  ethics  for  the  series. 

Religious  Treasure 

The  University  and  All  Saints' 
Chapel  in  particular  are  included 
in  an  unusual  guide  book, America's 
Religious  Treasures,  by  Marion 
Rawson  Vuilleumier  with  illustra- 
tions by  Pierre  DuPont  Vuilleumier. 
The  book,  subtitled  "A  Spiritual 
Heritage  Travel  Guide,"  was  pub- 
lished in  1976  by  Harper  and  Row 
and  is  priced  at  $4.95  (paperback). 


On  Ministry 

Ministry  and  Imagination  by  Urban  T. 
Holmes  III.  New  York:  Seabury  Press, 
1976.  279  pp.  $10.95. 

John  Westerhoff,  associate  profes- 
sor of  religion  and  education  at  the 
Duke  University  Divinity  School, 
reviewing  Dean  Holmes'  book  in 
The  Living  Light,  the  official 
education  publication  of  the  United 
States  Catholic  Conference,  says: 
"Dean  Holmes  is,  I'm  convinced, 
the  leading  pastoral  theologian  in 
the  church  today;  his  book  Ministry 
and  Imagination  the  most  signifi- 
cant contemporary  work  on  the 
church's  ministry.  It  is  a  rare  contri- 
bution to  both  theory  and  practice 
—a  scholar's  and  a  practitioner's 
dream.  If  I  were  asked  to  name  the 
one  most  influential  book  read 
during  1976,  this  would  be  it. 
Ministry  and  Imagination  is  a  book 
the  Christian  church— Catholic  and 
Protestant— needs. " 

Professor  Westerhoff  has  made 
the  book  required  reading  for  the 
basic  course  he  is  teaching  at  Ford- 
ham,  Princeton,  Toronto  and  Duke 
Universities. 

Liturgical  Study 

Sanctifying  Life,  Time  and  Space:  An 
Introduction  to  Liturgical  Study  by 
Marion  J.  Hatchett.  New  York:  Seabury 
Press,  1976.  ix  +  215  pp.  Cloth,  $8.95. 

Louis  Weil,  writing  in  Worship— 
described  as  the  most  respected 
American  periodical  dealing  with 
liturgy— says :  "The  qualities  of 
Marion  Hatchett 's  introduction  to 
liturgical  study  are  manifold.  Given 
the  extraordinary  quantity  of  litur- 
gical publication  during  the  past 
decade,  it  is  surprising  how  little 
material  of  this  comprehensive  and 
fundamental  nature  is  available.  .  .  . 
Dr.  Hatchett  has  assembled  a  re- 
markable amount  of  data  which 
will  serve  both  to  illuminate  those 
who  are  beginning  the  study  of  the 
liturgy,  and  also  to  correct  the 
often  naive  assumptions  of  those 
who  too  easily  read  back  into  the 
early  ages  of  Christian  history  an 
understanding  of  liturgy  and  sacra- 
ments which  reflects  a  much  later 
period  and  perhaps  even  a  period 
during  which  the  essential  meaning 
of  these  rites  was  lost  or  obscured. 
...  As  a  professor  of  liturgy,  the 
present  reviewer  can  only  rejoice 
that  so  much  material  has  been 
made  available  in  such  a  convenient 
form,  for  it  will  serve  as  a  splendid 
point  of  departure  in  working  with 
persons  at  the  beginning  of  their 
preparation  for  the  Church's 
ministry." 


ACADEMY  SPORTS 


BULLETIN 

Girls'  team  finished  second, 
boys  finished  fourth  in  District  8 
tennis  tournament.  Hutson  and 
Arnold  went  on  to  regionals, 
Hutson  to  state  tournament. 


Baseball 

Britt  Brantley,  a  six-foot  seven-inch, 
270-pound  first  baseman  on  Sewa- 
nee  Academy's  baseball  team,  has 
signed  a  letter  of  intent  with 
Aquinas  Junior  College  in  Nashville, 
according  to  Tigers  coach  Dale 
Morton  (C'73). 

A  two-year  starter  in  basketball 
as  a  center-forward,  Brantley  will 
play  both  sports  for  Aquinas, 
joining  fellow  Sewanee  Academy 
graduate  John  Patton,  A'76. 

Archie  Baker,  who  catches  and 
pitches  for  the  Academy  Tigers, 
was  selected  to  the  All-District 
team  as  was  Harry  Thomas,  a  right 
fielder  from  Shelby  ville.  Baker 
comes     from     Charleston,     S.     C. 

Golf 

Graduation  claimed  the  top  four 
golfers  on  last  year's  Academy 
squad. 

"And  you  can  guess  the  rest," 
quipped  the  number  five  man  from 
last  season  who  moved  up  to 
pressure-producing  No.  1. 

Although  young  and  inexperi- 
enced, the  team  ended  with  an  8-15 
record.  The  Districts  will  be  played 
on  the  Stones  River  Country  Club 
course  in  Murfreesboro.  On  the 
team  are  Ken  Fritsch,  Mike  Harris, 
Chris  Cook,  George  Morgan,  Chuck 
Williams,  Bill  Carter  and  Bud  Ben- 
ning.   Peyton   Cook   is   the   coach. 

Tennis 

Bayard  Leonard,  number  one  player 
on  the  Academy's  boys'  tennis 
team,  won  easily  the  Castle  Heights 
Military  Academy  Tennis  Tourna- 
ment in  early  May. 

Seeded  number  one,  Leonard 
downed  Earthman  of  Webb  6-3,  6-1, 
Martin  of  Webb  School  6-4,6-3  and 
Rossman  of  Castle  Heights  6-1,6-1, 
to  reach  the  finals  against  the 
second  seed,  Scott  Rogers  of  Castle 
Heights.  Using  his  strong  serve  and 
sound  volleying,  Leonard  won 
handily,  6-2,6-1. 

In  the  doubles  competition 
Leonard  and  Artie  Cockett  were 
the  runners-up,  losing  to  Rogers 
and  Evangelist  of  Castle  Heights 
6-2,6-2. 

End  of  season  record:  boys  7-4, 
and  girls  8-1.  Going  into  the  District 
8  tournament  Mary  Pope  Hutson  is 
seeded  third  in  singles,  and  she  and 
Catharine  Arnold  are  seeded  second 
in  the  doubles.

Where 
Something 
Is  Taught 


RUSSELL  KIRK 


o: 


ften  people,  some  students, 
parents,  write  to  me  in- 
quiring whether  a  genuine  education 
still  is  to  be  obtained  somewhere  or 
other  in  these  United  States.  I  reply  that 
although  there  exists  no  perfect  uni- 
versity or  college,  this  being  a  bent 
world,  nevertheless  I  can  commend  cer- 
tain departments  and  even  certain  in- 
stitutions. 

For  anybody  desiring  to  study  "Eng- 
lish literature  at  any  level,  I  recom- 
mend that  department  at  Vanderbilt 
University.  Ever  since  the  days  oi  the 
Fugitives  and  the  Agrarians,  Vander- 
bilt's  professors  of  literature  have  been 
first-rate;  and  the  department  seems  un- 
abashedly Christian,  too. 

For  politics  and  government,  as  dis- 
tinguished from  computer-operation 
and  nose-counting,  I  entertain  a  high 
opinion  of  the  present  departments  at 
Georgetown  University  and  Catholic 
University.  Standards  there  are  high, 
sound,  and  humane. 

For  undergraduate  study  generally, 
certain  colleges  please  me  especially — 
for  instance,  the  University  of  Dallas, 
Washington  and  Lee,  William  and 
Mary,  Occidental  College,  the  Univer- 
sity of  the  South — both  because  they 
are  pleasant  places  and  because  the 
curriculum  is  not  decadent.  And  there 
are  new  ones  with  a  curriculum  that 
seems  innovative  because  it  is  so  rooted 
in  tradition — among  them  Thomas 
Aquinas  College  (Calabasas,  Calif- 
ornia) and  Cardinal  Newman  College 
(St.  Louis). 

Sometimes  it  is  wise  to  choose  a  col- 
lege simply  because  of  the  presence 
there  of  two  or  three  especially  able 
professors.  If  one  is  interested  in  his- 
tory, say,  people  worth  studying  under 
are  Professor  Roland  Berthoff,  at  Wash- 
ington University,  and  Professor  Paul 
Gottfried,  at  Rockford  College  (at 
which  latter  institution  Professor  Peter 
Slanlis,  by  the  way,  teaches  English 
literature). 

At  the  liberal-arts  colleges  on  a  hu- 


mane scale,  undergraduates  can  ac- 
tually talk  with  professors — not  merely 
with  teaching  assistants.  In  the  field  of 
political  theory,  Mr.  Gerhart  Niemeyer 
now  is  visiting  professor  at  Hillsdale 
College,  as  well  as  teaching  one  course 
still  at  Notre  Dame  University.  Hills- 
dale also  is  acquiring,  as  head  of  its  de- 
partment of  economics,  Mr.  Roger 
Freeman,  long  of  the  Hoover  Institu- 
tion, one  of  the  very  best  scholars  in 
that  field.  Whatever  one  may  think  of 
Antio.h  College  generally,  that  institu- 
tion retains  Mr.  Louis  Filler,  certainly 
a  lively  and  healthy  influence  in  Amer- 
ican Studies. 

The  Decampused  Campus 

For  those  who  would  like  to  be  de- 
campused altogether,  there  is  Interna- 
tional College,  with  its  office  in  Los 
Angeles.  This  unique  recent  creation 
arranges  study  throughout  the  world 
with  well-known  scholars,  writers,  art- 
ists, musicians,  and  the  like;  students 
live  near  their  "tutors,"  or  mentors, 
rather  than  in  a  teen-age  ghetto  called 
■  a  dorm. 

For  graduate  studies  in  many  fields, 
of  course  the  famous  long-established 
universities  continue  to  offer  splendid 
resources  and  distinguished  professors 
— Harvard,  Princeton,  Yale,  the  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago,  the  University  of 
Michigan,  and  the  rest.  But  undergrad- 
uate existence  at  such  campuses — well, 
one  might  almost  quote  Hobbes  on  the 
condition  of  life  for  primitive  man, 
"poor,  nasty,  brutish,  and  short."  The 
humane  scale  was  lost  some  time  ago  at 
such  places;  the  undergraduates  look 
sour  and  unhappy;  often  they  would  be 
more  secure  and  find  more  moral  com- 
panionship in  the  streets  of  Palermo  or 
Fez.  Don't  go  "where  the  action  is,"  if 
you  mean  to  improve  your  intellect. 

Most  dismal  of  all,  for  any  young 
person  seeking  genuine  education  and 
genuine  academic  community,  is  Behe- 
moth University:  my  collective  term  for- 
the  swollen  campus,  perhaps  once  a 
land-grant  college  or  a  normal  school, 
which  offers  all  things  (except  wisdom 
and  virtue)  to  all  delayed  adolescents. 
Its  curriculum,  cafeteria-style,  is  a 
mingling  of  pop  culture  and  pseudo- 
vocationalism.  Its  abler  professors 
would  like  to  be  just  about  anywhere 
else.  Its  students  would  encounter  more 
virtue   and   elegance   if  they  dwelt   in 


some  low  brothel;  but  since  most  of 
them  are  present  only  for  fun  and 
games,  that  really  doesn't  much  matter. 
Speaking  of  bordellos,  Michigan 
State  University,  East-  Lansing,  now 
boasts  a  "porn  queen"  among  its  stu- 
dent body.  She  maintains  a  B-plus  aver- 
age in  physical  education.  This  young 
lady  transferred  from  Western  Michi- 
gan University  to  East  Lansing  because 
she  was  offered  the  managership  of  an 
"adult"  skin-flick  cinema  in  Lansing; 
she  has  built  up  the  volume  of  its  busi- 
ness to  $33,000  a  month.  Also  she  has 
bargain  sidewalk  sales  of  printed  por- 
nography; and  she  has  produced  on  her 
own,  with  capital  from  the  Bahamas,  a 
delightful  film  about  gang  rape,  drawing 
her  cast  from  the  undergraduates  of 
MSU.  As  yet,  MSU  doesn't  grant 
theater-arts  credit  for  participation  in 
this  young  woman's  undertakings,  but 
there's  a  fresh  possibility  for  attracting 
freshmen  and  freshwomen  to  the 
Friendly  Campus. 

The  Rape  You  Get .  .  . 

To  parents  and  others  who  pay  the 
tuition  and  fees,  this  exhortation,  from 
the  musical  The  Fantasticks:  "The  rape 
you  get  depends  upon  the  price  you 
pay."  With  few  exceptions,  cheap 
schooling  produces  cheap,  and  nasty, 
minds.  Real-life  rapes  are  more  fre- 
quent than  cinematographic  rapes  at 
MSU;  much  to  the  chagrin  of  the  au- 
thorities, the  student  newspaper  reports 
them  and  laments  them.  Yet  the  streets 
of  East  Lansing  are  safer  than  those  of 
Ann  Arbor,  where  some  16  attacks  on 
women  (officially  reported  ones,  that 
is)  occurred  during  October  and  No- 
vember alone.  Once  upon  a  time,  stu- 
dents professed  that  their  minds  were 
ravished  by  learning;  nowadays  their 
bodies  are  violated  by  learners. 

The  rape,  I  repeat,  depends  upon  the 
price  you  pay.  So  I  marvel  at  parents 
who  may  have  three  cars  in  the  garage 
and  six-figure  accounts  with  stock- 
brokers and  nevertheless  dispatch  Sweet 
Sue  and  Beaming  Bill,  their  offspring, 
to  Behemoth  U — because  the  charges 
there  are  somewhat  less  than  at  Our 
Lady  of  the  Sorrows  or  at  Bruno-Ser- 
vetus  University.  At  Behemoth  U,  if 
your  body  eludes  the  predators,  still  the 
lions  (or  the  mice)  will  get  your  in- 
tellect. For  the  price  of  hi-fi  equipment 
the  child  you  save  may  be  your  own.  □

"R^VieW    ^  Age  85 


by  Don  Keck  DuPree,  C'73 

America's  oldest  continuing  literary  quarterly, 
the  Sewanee  Review,  was  founded  in  1892  with 
the  pledge  that  it  would  be  "devoted  to  such 
topics  of  general  Theology,  Philosophy,  History, 
and  Literature  as  require  fuller  treatment  than 
they  usually  receive  in  the  popular  magazines 
and  less  technical  treatment  than  they  receive 
in  specialist  publications."  In  the  eighty -five 
years  since,  the  Review  has  grown  to  interna- 
tional stature  in  the  field  of  humane  letters.  Its 
first  editor,  William  Peterfield  Trent,  left  Se- 
wanee in  1900  for  Columbia  University,  where 
he  was  a  pioneer  in  promoting  American  litera- 
ture as  an  independent  field  of  study.  Trent  was 
the  first  in  a  series  of  distinguished  men  of 
letters    who    have    shaped    Sewanee 's   Review. 

Through  the  efforts  of  its  early  editors  John 
Bell  Henneman,  John  MacLaren  McBryde, 
George  Herbert  Clarke  (who  began  publishing 
verse)  and  William  Skinkle  Knickerbocker,  the 
Review  developed  into  a  top-flight,  nationally 
significant  magazine  of  general  knowledge.  With 
the  service  of  Andrew  Lytle  as  managing  editor 
in  the  early  1940s  followed  by  Allen  Tate  as 
editor  in  the  middle  1940s,  the  Review  evolved 
from  a  forum  of  general  humanities  to  the 
specifically  literary  magazine  we  know  today. 

Under  Tate's  leadership  the  Review  began  to 
pay  contributors,  broaden  the  list  of  subscribers 
and  seek  out  important  material  from  new,  un- 
published authors.  Tate  was  able  to  move  the 
Review  into  the  void  created  by  the  discontinu- 
ation  of  the  old  Southern   Review   in   1942. 

In  addition  to  the  leading  Fugitives,  Tate 
attracted  work  from  authors  whose  international 
renown  extended  the  readership  which  the 
Review  then  had.  No  glance  is  ever  complete, 
but  those  issues  of  1944-46  included  such 
authors  as  John  Peale  Bishop,  T.  S.  Eliot,  Caro- 
line Gordon,  Robert  Lowell,  St.-John  Perse, 
•Catherine  Anne  Porter,  John  Crowe  Ransom, 
Dylan  Thomas,  Jacques  Maritain,  Malcolm 
Cowley  and  R.  P.  Blackmur. 

Successive  editors  have  stressed  the  import- 
ance of  Tate's  accomplishments.  It  goes  without 
saying  that  increasing  the  range  and  stature  of 
contributions  added  to  the  prestige  of  the 
Magazine,  and  this  was  promoted  in  large 
neasure  by  the  new  policy  of  paying  contribu- 
tors.   As    George    Core,    the    Review's   present 


editor,  has  remarked,  "The  magazine  can't  be 
run  on  charity."  Although  payment  may  not 
be  great,  paying  for  material  puts  the  magazine 
on  the  same  professional  level  as  other  widely 
circulated  literary  magazines. 

Following  Tate,  editors  John  Palmer  (1946- 
1952)  and  Monroe  Spears  (1952-1961)  contin- 
ued, consolidated  and  extended  the  program 
which  had  been  solidly  established  in  the  middle 
40s.  Advancing  the  program  of  critical  coverage, 
from  1942  on  the  Review  included  many  essays 
which  are  now  recognized  as  landmarks  in  the 
field  such  as  the  collaborations  by  W.  K.  Wimsatt 
and  Monroe  C.  Beardsley,  "The  Intentional 
Fallacy"  (1946)  and  "The  Affective  Fallacy" 
(1949),  and  Joseph  Frank's  "Spatial  Form  in 
Modern  Literature"  (1945). 

Palmer  left  Sewanee  for  military  service 
during  the  Korean  War.  Since  that  time,  he 
has  edited  the  distinguished  Yale  Review,  a 
national  quarterly  of  the  general  humanities. 
Spears  is  now  Libbie  Sheam  Moody  professor 
of  English  at  Rice  University.  He  is  the  author 
of  the  well-known  Dionysus  and  the  City: 
Modernism  in  Twentieth  Century  Poetry.  The 
efforts  of  Palmer  and  Spears  on  behalf  of 
sound  criticism  throughout  their  tenure  with 
the  Review  will  long  be  regarded  as  a  highlight 
of  post-war  literary  publishing.  In  speaking  of 
Monroe  Spears,  George  Core  has  said:  "Mr. 
Spears  strikes  me  as  one  of  the  best  literary 
editors  of  the  past  three  decades.  His  great 
achievement  at  the  Sewanee  Review  has  not 
been  fully  recognized." 

Late  in  1961  novelist  and  critic  Andrew 
Lytle  returned  as  editor  of  the  magazine.  Under 
Lytle  many  contributors  such  as  Kenneth 
Burke,  Randall  Jarrell,  Madison  Jones,  Stephen 
Spender,  Peter  Taylor  and  Eudora  Welty  con- 
tinued to  appear.  Lytle  also  made  a  particular 
effort  to  find  space  for  young  unpublished 
writers  whose  careers  the  Review  could  foster. 
As  a  teacher  of  writing,  Lytle  was  keenly  aware 
of  the  problems  the  young  writer  faces. 

On  Lytle's  retirement  in  1973,  George 
Core,  from  the  University  of  Georgia  Press, 
became  editor.  In  his  initial  editorial  Core 
noted,  "Over  the  last  thirty  years  the  Sewanee 
Review  has  evidenced  a  general  editorial  policy 
which  has  to  some  extent  superseded  the  par- 
ticular interests  of  the  editors  involved.  I  intend 


Peterfield  Trent 


to  pursue  this  established  commitment  to 
humane  letters  in  the  Western  world  and  to 
preserve  the  essential  character  of  the  magazine." 
Core  has  added  stress  to  the  review  of 
current  books.  Some  200  or  more  new  titles 
are  reviewed  annually  in  the  short-review  section 
of  the  magazine  or  included  in  the  longer  essay- 
reviews  which  have  always  been  featured.  In 
addition,  fiction  and  poetry  chronicles  appear 
regularly.  This  breadth  of  coverage  and  the 
timeliness  of  reviews  have  brought  the  Review 
the  added  benefit  of  more  paid  advertising. 
Core  continues  to  seek  a  broad  range  of 
writers,  relying  upon  "regular  contributors 
and  a  good  mix  of  occasional  contributors." 
Established  critics  such  as  Denis  Donoghue 
and  James  M.  Cox  appear,  together  with  some 
writers  who  are  presented  for  the  first  time. 
Core  notes  that  an  editor  "cannot  depend 
upon  the  unsolicited  material  that  the  mail 
brings  in";  he  must  have  a  good  number  of 
writers  on  whom  he  can  rely. 

In  recent  years,  individual  issues  of  the 
Review  have  presented  a  definite  focus  pur- 
suing a  particular  body  of  material.  The 
"Literature  of  Modem  Ireland"  issue  (Winter 
1976)  is  an  example.  Core  notes  that  his  pur- 
pose behind  special  issues  of  this  sort  is  an 
attempt  to  "edit,  rather  than  merely  assemble 
items  between  the  covers."  As  with  all  editors, 
this  conscious  selection  of  material  raises  the 
problem  of  available  space  and  the  overall 
economy  of  the  magazine.  "I  cannot  accept 
everything  that  is  suitable,"  Core  notes.  "After 
a  special  issue  several  good  pieces  always  arrive 
which  are  certainly  publishable  but  which 
cannot  be  accepted  because  their  subjects 
have  just  been  pursued." 

The  current  editorial  policy  allows  for  an 
average  of  one  short  story  and  about  twelve 
pages  of  poetry  per  issue.  "I  read  well  over  a 
hundred  short  stories  for  every  one  I  accept," 
Core  notes,  "and  I  accept  fewer  than  fifty 
poems  for  every  ten  thousand  I  receive."  The 
fiction  and  poetry  published  continue  to  attract 
wide  attention,  as  did  Stephen  Minot's  story 
"A  Passion  for  History"  (Spring  1976),  which 
was  chosen  for  inclusion  in  Prize  Stories  1977: 
The  O.  Henry  Awards  and  The  Best  American 
Short  Stories  1977. 

Some  of  the  poets  published  in  the  last  two 
years  are  A.  R.  Ammons,  James  Applewhite, 
Ben  Belitt,  Hayden  Carruth,  Malcolm  Cowley, 
Roy  Fuller,  Seamus  Heaney,  Jean  Farley, 
Thomas  Kinsella,  Howard  Nemerov,  Dabney 
Stuart,  John  Unterecker  and  Robert  Penn 
Warren. 

Many  readers  have  noted  that  in  addition 
to  its  lively  content  the  Review  is  physically 
attractive.  Still  produced  in  letterpress  by  the 
University  Press,  Review  copy  is  consistently 
free  of  typographical  and  other  inadvertent 
errors  due  to  the  zealous  copyreading  of  manag- 
ing editor  Mary  Lucia  Cornelius  and  editorial 
assistant  Sara  Ham.  In  an  age  of  often  less- 
than-attractive  offset  production,  the  Sewanee 
Review  continues  to  please  the  discerning  eye. 
Allen  Tate  once  remarked  that  the  regular 
reading  of  a  literary  quarterly  is  one  good  way 
for  someone  over  twenty-one  to  continue  his 
education.  Unfortunately  most  people  overlook 
the  literary  quarterlies  in  their  post-collegiate 
magazine  subscriptions.  This  author  can  cer- 
tainly recommend  that  at  $7  a  year  the  Sewanee 
Review  provides  good  reading  with  the  short 
story  and  verse  in  each  issue  as  well  as  an  oppor- 
tunity to  share  in  the  literary  opinion  of  our  age.

66th  Alumnus  Bishop 

New  bishop-coadjutor-elect  of  the 
diocese  of  Indianapolis  is  the  Rev. 
Edward  W.  Jones,  GST'65,  rector 
of  St.  James'  Church  in  Lancaster,

Clean  Sweep 

Sewanee  students  turned  out  in 
great  numbers  on  Earth  Day  (Wed- 
nesday, April  20)  for  the  annual 
Help  Day  cleanup. 

Several  fraternities  had  100 
per  cent  of  their  membership 
working,  as  did  two  women's 
dormitories  (Hunter  and  Hoffman). 
The  lone  sorority  decided  its 
members  would  work  through  their 
dorms.  Each  fraternity  and  dormi- 
tory contributed  ten  dollars  and  a 
further  donation  from  the  Sewanee 
Woman's  Club  made  up  prize 
money. 

First  prize  of  $100  was  won  by 
Sigma  Nu  for  their  cleanup  around 
the  Sewanee  Memorial  Cross.  The 
SN's  cut  brush  from  the  view, 
mowed,  raked,  picked  up  trash,  and 
in  a  surprise  finish  gave  the  Cross 
itself  a  fresh  white  paint  job  with 
the  aid  of  rope  work  by  a  few 
intrepid  members. 

Second  prize  of  $50  was  won 
by  Chi  Psi  for  rebuilding  the  trail 
between  the  Cross  and  Morgan's 
Steep,  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon  for 
their  cleanup  of  the  Cowan  Road 
approach  to  the  campus.  Third 
prize  of  $25  was  won  by  Hunter 
Hall  and  Delta  Tau  Delta,  who 
jointly  cleaned  up  the  airport 
road,  filling  four  dumpsters  and 
bagging  enough  trash  to  fill  two 
more. 

Davidheiser  Has  Fulbright 

Dr.  James  Davidheiser,  associate 
professor  of  German  in  the  College, 
has  a  Fulbright  grant  to  participate 
in  a  summer  seminar  in  German 
studies  for  college  and  university 
professors  at  the  University  of 
Bonn.  During  five  weeks  in  Bonn 
the  grant  recipients  will  attend 
sessions  of  the  Bundestage,  the 
West  German  parliament,  will  visit 
local  communities  and  their  govern- 
ing officials,  study  political  parties 
in  both  West  and  East  Germany  and 
observe  various  other  facets  of 
German  culture.  In  late  July  they 
will  travel  to  Berlin  as  the  guests  of 
the  German  Academic  Exchange 
Service  (DAAD).  Following  an  in- 
depth  study  of  the  Berlin  question, 
the  group  will  tour  locations  in 
West  Germany  for  a  week. 

This  Fulbright  program  is  ad- 
ministered by  the  Fulbright  Com- 
mission in  Bonn-Bad  Godesberg  and 
the    U.    S.    Office    of   Education. 

Ebey  Presents  Research 
Dr.  Sherwood  Ebey,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  mathematics,  is  co-author 
of  a  technical  report  published  by 


In  the  Bag  for  Earth  Day 


the  Oak  Ridge  National  Labora- 
tory (ORNL),  entitled  "Statistical 
Modeling  of  Adsorption  Processes 
on  Catalyst  Surfaces:  Preliminary 
Report." 

Dr.  Ebey  did  research  for  this 
paper  while  on  sabbatical  leave  in 
1975-76,  working  with  the  depart- 
ment of  mathematics  and  statistics 
research  at  ORNL.  His  co-authors 
are  E.  L.  Fuller,  Jr.  and  F.  R.  R. 
Uppuluri,  staff  members  of  ORNL. 

The  work  represents  an  inter- 
disciplinary approach  to  some  prob- 
lems concerning  catalytic  chemical 
reactions  that  occur  on  the  surface 
of  a  crystal.  Dr.  Ebey  and  his  col- 
leagues studied  the  problems  using 
theoretical  mathematics,  computer 
simulation,  and  the  results  of  lab- 
oratory experiments. 

In  addition  to  the  publication 
of  the  technical  report,  this  work 
was  presented  in  a  paper  delivered 
to  the  fall  regional  meeting  of  the 
American  Chemical  Society.

thing else  relating  to  his  project. 
He  will  be  glad  to  return  any 
materials  entrusted  to  him,  or  will 
place  them  in  the  Archives  if  the 
donor  so  desires. 

Oscar  Winner  Recalls  Sewanee 
A  cover  feature  on  Louise  Fletcher, 
actress  (she  won  an  Academy 
Award  last  year  for  her  work  in 
"One  Flew  over  the  Cuckoo's  Nest") 
sister  of  the  Rev.  John  Fletcher, 
C'53,  in  the  Chicago  Tribune  Maga- 
zine March  20,  includes  the  follow- 
ing paragraphs  (taking  off  from  an 
earlier  item  in  Newsweek):  "The 
person  in  the  Newsweek  photo 
seemed  to  be  a  middle-aged  woman 
revisiting  a  spirit  of  youthful 
freedom— the  kind  of  spirit  Fletcher 
once  felt  at  the  University  of  the 
South  in  Sewanee,  Tenn.  There,  on 


brief  and  welcome  respites  from  the 
All  Saints  Episcopal  School  for 
Young  Women  at  Vicksburg,  Miss., 
an  unprosperous  clergyman 's  daugh- 
ter met  aristocratic  college  class- 
mates of  her  brother. 

'My  brother  was  three  years 
ahead  of  me,'  Fletcher  recalls, 
smiling  faintly  at  the  memory. 
'Because  of  him  I  would  meet  all 
those  adorable  guys  and  be  invited 
up  for  the  weekend,  and  I  would 
show  up  back  at  school  on  Monday 
morning  feeling  lousy.  They  were 
incredibly  hilarious,  long  weekends 
when  nobody  ever  went  to  sleep. 
We  were  Southern  ladies  and  gentle- 
men being  "grownup,"  and  we 
would  go  up  for  the  weekend  in  our 
best  clothes  and  go  to  teas  and  hide 
that     we     were     really     drinking. 

'The  best  thing  we  ever  drank 
was  champagne  on  Sunday  morning. 
You'd  drink  it  with  water,  because 
someone  said  that  if  you  did  that 
you  could  stay  drunk.  I  think  most- 
ly they  drank'— the  faint  smile  be- 
comes more  pronounced— 'swill. 
And  things  like  Artillery  Punch  that 
some  smart  aleck  from  Baton  Rouge 
or  somewhere  would  cook  up  from 
deadly  wood  alcohol  or  something.' 
She  sighs.  'I  remember  so  affection- 
ately that  time.'  " 

Scott  Doing  Ski  Manuals 
Jim  Scott,  Academy  chemistry 
instructor  and  outdoor  program 
director,  will  be  flown  to  San  Fran- 
cisco in  June  to  help  prepare  man- 
uals for  the  national  Nordic  Patrol 
program.  He  has  been  appointed  a 
mountaineering  instructor  by  the 
National  Ski  Patrol,  qualified  to 
teach  anywhere  in  the  country.  He 
will  hold  courses  all  over  the  South- 
east, including,  he  hopes,  Sewanee. 

Tennessee  Independents  Win  Awards 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Inde- 
pendent College  Funds  of  America 
in  April,  in  San  Francisco,  the 
Tennessee  Independent  Colleges 
Fund,  of  which  the  University  of 
the  South  is  a  member,  won  two 
awards  for  excellence  in  corporate 
fund  raising:  the  IBM  incentive 
award  of  $5,000  and  the  Levi 
Strauss  Foundation  incentive  award 
of  $15,000.  The  prize  money  has 
been  distributed  among  the  member 
colleges. 

Seminarians  Observe 
Active  Ministries 

Atlanta  was  host  during  the  winter 
to  twenty-four  students  from  the 
School  of  Theology.  The  purpose 
of  their  visit  was  to  observe  and 
experience  the  variety  of  ministries 
being  conducted  in  both  the  urban 
and  suburban  setting. 

The  program  was  coordinated 
by  the  Rev.  Peter  Thomas  at  St. 
Luke's  parish  in  downtown  Atlanta, 


in  cooperation  with  the  field  w0, 
office  at  Sewanee. 

The  seminarians  viewed  sue 
ministries  as  the  soup  kitchen  bein 
operated  at  St.  Luke's,  the  Salvatio 
Army,  and  other  "street  ministries 
For  the  latter  part  of  their  thre. 
day  stay  the  students  spent  i 
time  in  various  city  and  suburbj 
parishes  learning  of  programs  bein 
operated  in  those  parishes.

Guarded  Against  Evils 
We  are  indebted  to  Mrs.  Edwin 
Stirling  for  this  advertisement 
placed  by  Vice-Chancellor  Rev. 
Telfair  Hodgson  in  the  Church 
Record  of  September  1, 
Reasons  Why  Your  Sons  Should  it 
Sent  to  Sewanee 

1.  The  location  upon  the  Cum- 
berland Plateau,  dry  under  foot 
yielding  chemically  pure  freestone 
water,  and  bathed  in  fresh,  bracing 
air,  is  the  healthiest  in  the  United 
States. 

2.  The  students  are  not  herded 
together  in  commons  and  dorm'' 
tones,  but  are  broken  up  in'0 
families,  being  subject  to  Christian 
and  refining  influences. 

3.  The  tradition  of  the  school 
is  to  make  Christians  and  gentlemen 
as  well  as  scholars  of  its  student 

4.  Owning  a  domain  four  miles 
in  each  direction,  and  having  abs0' 
lute  control  over  it,  it  can  gu3** 
students  against  those  temptation5 


JUNE  1977 


that  surround  them  at  all  other 
institutions. 

5.  Owing  to  its  remoteness  from 
cities  and  large  towns,  there  is  not 
the  same  inducement  for  its  stu- 
dents to  spend  money  outside  of 
the  regular  college  charges  that  ex- 
ists elsewhere;  hence  the  University 
of  the  South  is  really  cheaper  than 
most  other  colleges.  The  fees  and 
charges  for  board  are  greater  than 
at  some  other  schools,  but  when  we 
consider  that  there  are  no  saloons, 
nor  billiard-rooms,  nor  gambling 
places  allowed  within  four  miles 
of  Sewanee,  we  can  see  that  in  its 
higher  charges  for  board  and  tuition 
the  University  of  the  South  can 
afford  to  give  its  students  the  best 
tuition,  and  better  guard  them 
against  the  evils  that  beset  other 
institutions. 

6.  It  is  the  conclusion  of  the 
best  medical  minds  that  boys  from 
hotter  and  malarial  regions  should 
spend  several  years  of  their  lives, 
between  the  ages  of  ten  and  twenty, 
in  such  an  invigorating  climate  as 
that  of  Sewanee. 

7.  This  conclusion  is  also  be- 
ginning to  obtain  in  regard  to 
youths  living  in  the  North  and  East, 
who  are  predisposed  to  pulmonary 
troubles,  asthma  and  catarrh. 

Academy  Has  Three 
National  Merit  Finalists 

Three  Sewanee  Academy  seniors 
were  finalists  in  the  National  Merit 
Scholarship  examinations.  They  are 
Anita  Goss  of  Crossville,  Tennessee, 
Martha  Hatchett  of  Sewanee  and 
Robert  Meeks  of  Murrayville, 
Georgia. 

Anita  is  a  member  of  the  choir 
and  has  acted  in  plays  and  served 
on  the  yearbook  photography  staff. 
She  has  applied  to  the  University 
of  Tennessee  in  Knoxville  and  the 
University  of  Michigan  at  Ann 
Arbor. 

Martha  is  the  daughter  of  the 
Rev.  Marion  J.  Hatchett,  professor 
in  the  School  of  Theology,  and 
Mrs.  Hatchett.  In  addition  to  her 
academic  work  she  takes  horseback 
riding  and  gymnastics.  She  has 
applied  to  Swarthmore  College  in 
Pennsylvania,  Grinnell  in  Iowa  and 
Earlham  in  Indiana. 

Robert  is  the  son  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Marshall  Meeks  of  Murray- 
v*lle,  and  until  his  senior  year 
attended  North  Hall  High  School 
"i  Gainesville,  Georgia,  where  he 
was  an  honor  roll  student  and 
active  in  sports.  He  was  a  Telluride 
Association  Summer  Program 
Scholar  at  the  University  of  Georgia 
and  earned  a  certificate  of  merit.  He 
has  applied  to  Cornell  and  Oberlin. 

HaPpy  Birthday  to  a  New  Friend 

T*o  friends  of  Donald  E.  Morton 
°f  Chattanooga,  Leonard  Lance  and 
WiUiam  S.  Mulherin  of  Nashville, 
Sent  checks  to  the  University  as  a 


birthday  greeting  to  him.  Mr.  Mor- 
ton had  requested  that  they  do  this 
instead  of  buying  him  a  present. 
Marcus  L.  Oliver,  director  of  annual 
giving,  acknowledged  the  gifts  in  this 
jvise:  "Happy  birthday,  Mr.  Morton 
.  .  .  from  Mr.  Leonard  Lance,  Mr. 
William  S.  Mulherin,  and  a  very 
grateful  Sewanee!  This  is  a  wonder- 
ful idea.  If  we  could  persuade  just 
a  fraction  of  the  population  to 
follow  this  fine  example,  Sewanee's 
fiscal  worries  would  be  over.  We 
find  neither  your  name  nor  your 
friends'  on  our  mailing  list  which 
makes  the  gift  an  even  happier 
surprise.  It  means  we  have  friends 
we  don't  even  know  about— and 
that  is  as  it  should  be  for  a  Sewanee. 
Many  happy  returns  of  the  day!" 

Mrs.  Pickering  Down 

A  favorite  Academy  teacher,  Mrs. 
Marjorie  (Bun)  Pickering,  reached 
the  point  this  year  where  the  back 
injury  she  sustained  during  World 
War  II  as  a  WAC  in  Italy,  which 
has  recurred  after  repeated  opera- 
tions, put  her  out  of  action.  (Not 
an  easy  thing  to  do,  her  students 
will  testify.)  Surgeons  at  Duke  Uni- 
versity Hospital  have  performed  a 
spinal  fusion  and  ordered  a  conva- 
lescent period  and  gradual  return  to 
activity  over  nearly  a  year.  Her  wit 
is  still  as  sharp  as  her  bones  some- 
times feel  during  her  enforced  re- 
cumbency, and  students  allow 
themselves  to  be  entertained  by  her 
during  hair-raising  bouts  of  Monop- 
oly    and     Scrabble     in     Spanish. 

To  Greater  Understanding 

Dr.  Don  S.  Armentrout,  assistant 
professor  of  ecclesiastical  history 
in  the  School  of  Theology,  was  one 
of  sixteen  recipients  of  special 
awards  of  commendation  from  the 
Concordia  Historical  Institute  "for 
significant  contributions  to  Luther- 
an history  and  archives  during  the 
year  1975."  The  awards  were  an- 
nounced at  a  dinner  given  by  the 
Institute's  board  of  governors  in 
St.  Louis  January  25. 

The  citation  reads:  "Don  S. 
Armentrout  for  excellent  research 
carried  out  on  an  interdenomina- 
tional subject  in  his  article  'Luther- 
an-Episcopal Conversations  in  the 
Nineteenth  Century,'  Historical 
Magazine  of  the  Protestant  Episco- 
pal Church,  XLIV,  2  (June  1975), 
167-187,  which  contributes  to  a 
greater  understanding  of  the  inter- 
relationships between  these  two 
historic  communions." 

Libel  Suit  Settled 

The  University's  libel  suit  against 
the  publishers  of  Insiders'  Guide 
to  the  Colleges,  4th  edition,  has 
been  settled  before  trial.  The 
Berkeley  Publishing  Company  of 
New  York  paid  the  University 
$10,000  plus  accumulated  court 
costs. 


The  University  brought  its 
suit  after  the  book  included  in  its 
item  on  the  University  of  the  South 
a  gross  untruth  and  refused  to 
withdraw  the  book  from  circula- 
tion. The  statement  was:  "As  of 
this  writing,  it  is  too  early  to  tell 
what  the  long-range  effects  of  the 
killings  of  two  black  students  dur- 
ing a  mild  demonstration  on  the 
campus  in  November  will  be.  The 
sudden  violence  seemed  incongru- 
ous, given  the  political  mildness 
of  the  place,  although  state  poli- 
ticians and  not  campus  events  were 
to  blame." 

This  canard  was  peculiarly 
galling  since  Sewanee's  was  one 
of  the  few  entirely  peaceful  cam- 
puses during  the  turbulent  'sixties 
and  early  'seventies. 

Vice-Chancellor  Bennett  says, 
"One  of  the  reasons  for  the  rela- 
tively small  settlement  was  the 
much  more  strict  burdens  on  the 
plaintiff  in  libel  cases  in  the  New 
York  district  which  were  decided 
after  we  filed  suit  but  before  the 
trial  was  scheduled.  But  at  least 
the  settlement  vindicated  our 
position  in  the  matter." 

Sewanee  Inn 

The  Sewanee  Inn  has  been  leased 
from  the  University  by  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  James  W.  Hiles,  who  are  oper- 
ating the  restaurant  and  seventeen 
of  the  motel  units  (six  are  still  in 
use  as  student  dormitory  space). 
Mr.  Hiles  was  born  in  Beech 
Grove,  Tennessee  in  1923  and  grew 
up  there.  Jean  Cordell  Hiles  is  from 
the  Chattanooga  area.  From  1940 
to  1970  James  Hiles  lived  near 
Smyrna,  Tennessee,  and  was  in  the 
restaurant  business  in  Rockwood 
1950-54.  Since  1970  the  couple 
has  operated  restaurants  in  Ocala, 
Florida    and,    most    recently,    the 


Commodore  restaurant  in  Tulla- 
homa. 

The  restaurant  is  open  every 
day  from  9:00  A.M.  to  9:00  P.M. 
and  from  8:00  on  weekends  or 
on  other  days  when  motel  guests 
are  at  hand  for  breakfast.  Emphasis 
is  on  family-style  cooking  reason- 
ably priced.  Specialties  are  steaks 
and  seafood. 

Patrons  have  reported  that  the 
food  is  hot  and  promptly  and 
pleasantly  served.  Those  who  have 
had  steaks  have  liked  them,  and 
favorable  comments  have  been 
heard  on  the  meat-and-vegetable 
lunch.  Telephone  number  is  615- 
598-5683.

ACADEMY  HONORS  PROGRAM 
OFF  TO  FLYING  START 


Two  years  ago  Sewanee  Academy, 
the  preparatory  school  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  the  South,  initiated  a 
program  for  an  honors  diploma, 
to  be  earned  by  students  taking 
five  honors  courses  in  both  math/ 
science  and  humanities,  and  main- 
taining a  3.0  grade  point  average  in 
their  junior  and  senior  years.  Stu- 
dents must  also  take  a  senior  honors 
seminar,  which  is  being  held  this 
year  for  the  first  time. 

Four  seniors  are  enrolled  in  the 
honors  program— all  girls,  as  it 
happens.  They  are  attending  the 
seminar  meetings  on  Thursday 
nights  in  faculty  homes,  along  with 
members  of  the  Academy's  curricu- 
lum committee.  Topic  of  the 
seminar  is  "Individual  Survival  in 
the  Modern  World."  Sessions  have 
been  held  on  population  growth, 
natural  resources,  the  impact  of 
man  on  the  environment;  the  indi- 
vidual in  modern  society;  changing 
roles  of  males  and  females;  litera- 
ture and  the  arts,  religion,  and  edu- 
cation. 

Academic  dean  Max  Cornelius 
said  the  honors  program  was  started 
"to  make  a  flexible  curriculum  bet- 
ter equipped  to  take  care  of  all  our 
students,  whose  abilities  vary  con- 
siderably." At  the  Thursday  night 
sessions,  he  said,  the  focus  is  on  the 
whole  survival  of  the  individual, 
physically,  emotionally  and  spirit- 
ually. "We  haven't  found  answers," 
he  said,  "we've  just  raised  a  lot  of 
questions." 

Leaders  of  the  discussion 
groups  have  included  faculty  of 
both  the  Academy  and  the  College 
of  Arts  and  Sciences.  For  instance, 
literature   and   the   arts   were  ably 


represented  by  Rhodes  Scholar 
Douglas  Paschall,  assistant  professor 
of  English  in  the  College,  and  Mrs. 
Paschall  (Rosemary),  art  instructor 
at  the  Academy.  Another  husband 
and  wife  teaching  team  were  Drs. 
Marvin  and  Anita  Goodstein,  pro- 
fessors of  economics  and  history 
respectively  in  the  College,  who  led 
the  discussion  on  changing  roles  of 
males  and  females. 

The  students  themselves  have 
lively  praise  for  the  program.  Anne 
Cross  says,  "I  love  the  honors 
seminar— it's  worth  it  for  that 
alone.  We  come  out  of  the  discus- 
sions and  just  want  to  change  the 
world.  It  can't  be  done,  but  you  do 
affect  the  people  around  you  by 
what  you  believe.  It's  really  opened 
my  mind  to  things  I've  never 
thought  about  before." 

Sharon  Bonner,  though  she  says 
she  "doesn't  talk  much,"  also 
enjoys  the  program.  "I  think  you 
should  do  the  best  you  can,"  she 
says,  "and  the  honors  program 
gives  you  the  incentive  to  try 
harder." 

Elizabeth  Looney  agrees.  "I 
liked  the  chance  to  do  in-depth 
study,  to  work  harder  than  you 
have  to  in  most  of  the  classes 
around  here."  One  of  the  things 
she  learned  was  how  to  write  term 
papers— she  did  one  on  new  religi- 
ous cults,  going  to  Chattanooga  to 
interview  Hare  Krishna  members 
and  people  "that  I  guess  would  be 
called  'Jesus  freaks'." 

Anne's  big  project  at  present  is 
in  biology— she  is  studying  leaves, 
trying  to  find  similarities  of  amino 
acids    within    certain    families    of 


plants.  She  hopes  to  finish  it  by 
the  end  of  the  school  year  and  pub- 
lish her  results.  Last  semester  for 
one  of  her  honors  courses  she  took 
a  dendrology  course  in  the  College 
of  Arts  and  Sciences. 

Asked  if  there  is  academic 
rivalry  among  these  honors  stu- 
dents, Sharon  admitted  there 
might  be,  but  added,  "We  get  in 
better  arguments  that  way!"  All 
are  enjoying  the  seminar,  and 
Elizabeth  said,  "It's  valuable  infor- 
mation for  living  today— you  don't 
need  to  wait  till  you  get  out  of 
school.  It's  life  material  instead  of 
scholastic  material."  She  feels  they 
were  just  able  to  scratch  the  surface 
of  such  a  large  subject,  wishes  they 
had  selected  a  more  specific  subject 
or  had  the  seminar  all  year  instead 
of  just  second  semester. 

Anita  Goss  says  that  during  the 
honors  program  she  has  written 
about  twice  as  many  papers  as  usual. 
She  describes  herself  as  "a  chronic 
overachiever"  and  echoes  Elizabeth's 
wish  for  a  less  broad  seminar  topic 
or  more  time  to  discuss.  She  wrote 
one  paper  on  Renaissance  art  and 
did  an  oil  painting  in  Renaissance 
style  to  go  with  it.  Another  of  her 
projects  was  a  research  paper  on 
comedic  principle— Edward  Gorey's 
Amphigorey  tickled  her  funnybone 
and  she  chose  it  as  her  example. 
All  these  girls'  faces  light  up  as 
they  describe  their  interest  in  their 
extra  work  and  the  fascination  of 
the  brainstorming  seminar  sessions. 
In  its  first  year,  the  Sewanee  Acad- 
emy's honors  program  would  seem 
to  have  been  firmly  established  in 
the  curriculum.

An  intriguing  Sewanee  footnote 
appends  to  the  designation  of 
Bishop  Hollis.  His  first  predecessor 
as  Bishop  of  Montreal  was  Francis 
Fulford,  who  took  part  in  the  Con- 
vention of  the  Episcopal  Church  in 
1865  and  in  the  consecration  of 
Bishop  Quintard  who  in  turn 
named  his  Sewanee  home,  now  the 
Vice-Chancellor's  residence,  after 
Bishop  Fulford.  Bishop  and  Mrs. 
Hollis  spent  two  summers  in 
Sewanee  which  inspired  Mrs.  Hollis 
to  write  The  Witch  of  Shakeni 
Hollow,  a  notable  contribution  to 
Mountain  lore. 

Academy  Commencement 

Sixty-three  seniors  received  their 
diplomas  from  the  Sewanee  Acad- 
emy at  graduation  exercises  on 
Sunday,  May  22.  Everett  Tucker, 
Jr.,  A'30,  member  of  the  board  of 
governors  of  the  Academy  and 
president  and  director  of  the 
Industrial  Development  Company 
of  Little  Rock,  spoke  at  the  prep 
school's  109th  commencement 
held  in  All  Saints'  Chapel  to 
seniors,  their  parents,  friends  and 
all  members  of  the  Academy 
family. 

Tucker,  who  worked  with  the 
Little  Rock  Chamber  of  Commerce 
for  ten  years,  is  a  1934  graduate  of 
Washington  and  Lee  University.  In 
1958  he  was  elected  to  the  Little 
Rock  school  board,  serving  during 
the  height  of  the  integration  contro- 
versy. He  enlisted  in  the  U.  S.  Army 
Air  Corps  in  1942  and  was  dis- 
charged as  a  major  in  1946.  He  has 
been  president  of  the  American  an" 
Southern  Industrial  Development 
Councils  and  currently  is  serving 
on  various  boards  including  the 
Arkansas  National  Stockyards,  the 
Commercial  National  Bank,  the 
Commonwealth  Federal  Savings  &

ARE  YOU   PUTTING  FIRST  THINGS  FIRST? 


IS   PREP  SCHOOL  A   LUXURY? 


I  can't  afford  it— I'm  saving  for 
college,  say  parents.  But,  for  some 
students  this  way  of  thinking  is  a 
costly  mistake.  If  the  foundation 
for  college  is  not  firmly  laid,  the 
less  mature  student  is  perhaps  being 
programmed  to  fail.  Too  late  par- 
ents find  that  money  should  have 
been  spent  on  prep  school. 

The  Sewanee  Academy  offers  a 
fresh  start,  a  new  set  of  experiences. 
The  learning/living  aspects  are  in- 
valuable. You  can't  hide  in  a  class 
of  ten  students.  Being  prepared  be- 
comes a  habit.  You  learn  from  your 
roommate  to  respect  another  per-

group  are  in  the  direction  of  getting

COOK'S  CHOICE 

OF  ACADEMY  NEWS 

by  Anne  Cook 


CONVERSATION  WITH  THE  DEAN  OF 
STUDENTS 

What  do  you  find  to  be  the  most  difficult  part 
of  your  job? 

The  most  frustrating  thing  about  dealing 
with  teens  is  to  find  out  what  they're  thinking. 
They  have  a  difficult  time  vocalizing. 

Our  purpose  is  to  provide  a  college  prepara- 
tory education  in  a  Christian  environment.  I 
think  that  must  mean  we're  attempting  to  instill 
in  them  proper  ethics,  proper  standards  of  con- 
duct. If  we  simply  pointed  out  the  academic 
buildings,  the  dining  hall  and  said,  "this  is  where 
you  sleep,"  and  so  on,  we  wouldn't  be  meeting 
our  responsibilities  to  the  adolescent.  They're 
still  young  and  need  guidance. 

I  believe  they  need  the  structure  this  school 
provides.  We  have  bells  to  wake  up,  hours  for 
meals,  class  schedules  that  we  expect  them  to 
meet,  a  haircut  rule  so  they  can  get  in  the  habit 
of  being  properly  groomed,  room  inspection  to 
give  them  a  sense  of  orderliness. 

At  the  Academy  we're  trying  to  instill  in 
them  self-respect  and  self-discipline  so  they 
can  handle  the  freedom  they  will  have  when 
they  go  off  to  college. 

What,  are  the  rewards  of  yojur  job? 

The  rewards  are  in  dealing  with  a  basically 
good  group  of  teen-agers  and  watching  them 
develop.  I  teach  history  and  am  the  golf  coach 
so  I  deal  with  youngsters  in  everyday  situations 
as  well  as  in  the  special  calls  of  the  deanship. 

How  do  you  deal  with  problems  such  as  drugs 
or  alcohol? 

Drugs  are  not  the  problem  that  they  once 
were.  Alcohol,  as  you  know,  has  been  on  the 
rise  in  society  as  a  whole.  We  try  to  educate 
students  about  these  problems.  We  try  to 
counsel  individuals  and  from  time  to  time  have 
speakers.  We  want  to  develop  a  health  program 
so  that  the  student  can  be  aware  of  what  makes 
his  body  tick.  A  certain  amount  of  experimenta- 
tion is  inevitable.  We  have  to  have  strict  rules 
on  alcohol  and  drug  use.  This  is  done  not 
solely  from  a  legal  standpoint,  but  primarily 
for  the  best  interests  of  the  student  and  the 
Academy  as  a  Christian  institution. 

What  happens  to  a  student  who  gets  in  trouble? 

He's  given  a  hearing  by  the  discipline  com- 
mittee, which  is  made  up  of  faculty  and  stu- 
dents. He  can  tell  his  side  of  the  story.  Based 
°n  the  facts  gathered  in  this  hearing  the  D.  C. 
recommends  an  action  to  the  headmaster. 
This  is  usually  conduct  probation.  If  a  student 
violates  conduct  probation  he  is  again  given  a 
hearing.  If  the  D.  C.  feels  he  has  violated  con- 
duct probation  then  it  recommends  dismissal. 

""hat  is  the  most  frequent  reason  given  for 
Setting  into  trouble? 

The  two  most  frequent  excuses  are  "there's 
nothing  to  do  around  here"  and  "I  have  prob- 
lems." Of  course  the  way  to  keep  their  minds 
and  bodies  occupied  is  to  have  as  many  whole- 
some activities  as  possible,  not  only  on  school

Academy,  talking  things  over  with  Proctor  Jean 
Ross,  a  senior  from  Guntersville,  Alabama. 


days,  but  during  their  free  time.  A  great  deal  of 
effort  goes  into  planning  shopping  trips,  ski  and 
ice-skating  outings,  record  dances.  We  also  push 
athletics,  both  varsity  and  intramurals. 

Our  plays  twice  a  year  involve  students  as 
actors  and  backstage  in  lighting  and  props.  Our 
unique  outing  program   offers  another  outlet. 

How  does  the  discipline  differ  from  the  military 
days? 

Within  the  military  framework  we  had  a 
distinct  chain  of  command.  Everybody  knew 
where  he  stood.  If  something  happened,  the 
commandant  went  to  the  battalion  commander, 
who  then  turned  to  the  company  commander, 
etc.  Under  our  prefect/proctor  system  the 
quality  of  dorm  life  is  my  responsibility,  assisted 
by  the  students.  For  the  most  part  they  handle 
situations  very  well. 

Uniforms  were  worn  in  the  old  days,  making 
our  students  easily  distinguishable  from  the 
college  students,  and  that  made  some  things 
simpler.  They  have  much  more  freedom  today 
than  under  the  military  system. 

Within  our  student  body  of  180  are  a  few 
who  come  from  problem  situations.  They  come 
from  broken  homes  or  from  homes  with  one 
parent  who  can't  give  them  the  attention  they 
need.  Many  of  them  are  looking  for  guidance. 


We  provide  a  home  away  from  home  and  they 
blossom  and  grow  in  this  environment. 

A  few  we  are  unable  to  reach.  There  are  a 
certain  number  that  we  counsel  frequently  in  an 
attempt  to  keep  them  from  getting  into  trouble. 

Why  do  they  get  into  trouble  in  school? 

Lack  of  motivation. 

How  do  you  motivate? 

It's  difficult,  but  if  we  can  bring  just  one 
person  from  oblivion,  it's  worth  it. 

Do  you  think  today's  youth  is  softer? 

Yes,  but  it's  not  their  fault.  People  today 
have  a  softer  life  than  those  of  us  who  grew  up 
closer  to  the  depression.  • 

While  today's  generation  is  more  indulged 
than  ours  was,  they  can  surprise  you  with  their 
character  and  good  humor.  For  instance,  the 
efforts  for  conserving  energy  by  the  University 
this  past  January  were  for  the  most  part  readily 
accepted  by  our  student  body.  They  tolerated 
the  sixty-degree  temperature  with  equanimity. 
Giving  up  their  daily  shampoo  and  shower  was 
much  tougher  for  them,  and  they  grumbled 
about  it.  If  cleanliness  is  next  to  godliness,  then 
this  generation  is  right  up  there.

THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


Swasey  Resigns 

Martha  Swasey,  director  of  women's 
athletics  at  the  University,  has  re- 
signed, effective  at  the  end  of  the 
school  year,  to  open  a  school  of 
physical  education  in  Chattanooga. 
The  goal  of  the  school  will  be  to 
promote  lifetime  sports  and  to  help 
schools  in  the  Mid-South  in  develop- 
ing interscholastic  sports  programs 
for  girls  and  women. 

Pam  Lampley,  who  came  to 
Sewanee  last  year  to  coach  tennis 
and  work  in  the  women's  physical 
education  program,  will  be  the  new 
women's  athletic  director. 

Mrs.  Swasey  came  to  Sewanee 
five  years  ago,  two  years  after 
women  students  were  admitted, 
with  the  assignment  to  develop  an 
athletic  program  which  included 
physical  education  and  intramurals 
that  would  meet  the  needs  of 
women  students  at  the  University. 
The  program  now  comprises  six 
varsity  sports  for  the  360  women, 
an  augmented  physical  education 
curriculum  in  which  all  classes  are 
coed,  and  a  program  of  extramural 
and  intramural  activities  which  has 
also  grown  through  popular  demand. 

Pam  Lampley  received  her  B.S. 
degree  from  the  University  of  Ten- 
nessee at  Knoxville  in  1973  and  her 
M.S.  degree,  also  from  U.T.,  in  1974. 
She  has  taught  physical  education 
classes  and  coached  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Texas  at  Austin. 

Since  coming  to  Sewanee  she 
has  taught  golf  and  tennis  and 
coached  basketball  and  tennis.  Next 
year  she  plans  to  continue  as  the 
women's  tennis  coach. 

Baseball 

Sewanee  played  four  teams  during 
the  regular  season,  all  schools  that 
give  athletic  scholarships,  and  won 
3  out  of  13  games.  CAC  competi- 
tion was  in  the  tournament  at  Prin- 
cipia  College,  where  the  Tigers 
came  in  fifth.  Seems  that  at  Sewa- 
nee, intramural  Softball  attracts 
most  of  the  best  diamond  talent, 
with  stalwarts  from  the  football 
season  keeping  the  varsity  baseball 
team  together. 

Tennis 

Tennis  is  THE  sport  at  Sewanee  this 
spring.  The  men's  team  won  10  and 
lost  5  and  finished  first  in  the  CAC 
tournament,  making  them  15  and  6 
for  the  season.  The  women  won  10 
and  lost  3. 

The  men  defeated  Fisk  9-0  in 
their  opening  match  and  never 
looked  back.  The  five  losses  were 
all  to  athletic  scholarship  schools, 
with  two  scholarship  schools  falling 
to  Sewanee.  The  squad  this  year  is 
the  largest  ever,  with  all  players  re- 
turning next  year.  Sperry  Lee  plays 
in  the  No.  1  spot,  with  David 
Humphreys    No.    2,    Tandy    Lewis 


No.  3,  Woody  Leonard  No.  4,  cap- 
tain Ed  Colhoun  No.  5,  Sam  Bold- 
rick  No.  6,  and  John  Douglas  No.  7. 

The  Tigers  had  9-0  wins  over 
Fisk,  Belmont,  Bryan  and  Motlow 
and  lost  to  Carson-Newman  and 
Emory.  In  the  TIAC  they  were 
topped  by  powerful  Carson-Newman 
and  by  Tennessee  Wesleyan,  whom 
they  narrowly  defeated  earlier  in 
the  season.  Colhoun  and  Boldrick 
reached  the  singles  finals,  and  the 
team  of  Boldrick-Douglas  reached 
the  finals  in  doubles. 

The  CAC  win  was  especially 
sweet  because  Principia,  whom  Se- 
wanee didn't  play  during  the  regu- 
lar season,  was  the  favorite,  being 
ranked  third  in  the  nation  in 
Division  III.  Individual  champions 
are  David  Humphreys  in  the  No.  2 
position,  Tandy  Lewis  in  the  No. 
3  position,  and  Ed  Colhoun  in  the 
No.  5  position.  In  the  doubles  the 
team  of  Colhoun-Lewis  won  the 
championship     at     No.     2     spot. 

The  women  netters,  behind  the 
strong  singles  play  of  Lynn  Jones 
and  Amy  St.  John,  who  teamed  up 
for  a  formidable  doubles  attack, 
downed  Belmont  and  Young  Harris 
9-0,  and  also  defeated  MTSU,  Mary- 
ville,  Tennessee  Tech  and  David 
Lipscomb.  Losses  were  to  Furman, 
UT-Knoxville,  and  Emory. 

Track 

Trackmen  started  the  season  with 
warmup  participation  in  the  Florida 
Relays  and  Davidson  Relays.  They 
downed  UTC  83-58  and  then 
rolled  over  Samford  83-34.  Among 
Tiger  winners  in  that  contest  were 
Frank  Selph  in  the  pole  vault,  Bill 
Lemos  in  javelin  and  discus,  Mike 
Marchetti  in  the  shot  put,  and  Ted 
Miller  in  the  440  intermediate  and 
the  110  high  hurdles. 

A  44-99  loss  to  Vanderbilt 
in  the  rain  followed— though  Selph 
won  the  pole  vault  and  Miller  the 
440  hurdles,  Mike  Harding  the  880 
dash  and  John  Jacobs  the  440  dash. 
Felton  Wright  ran  the  3-mile  in  a 
creditable  15:15,  losing  to  the  Van- 
derbilt   runner    by    half    a    step. 

A  close  win  over  Maryville 
(74-69)  rounded  out  the  3-1  season, 
with  Selph  the  star  as  he  broke  the 
school  record  in  the  pole  vault  at 
14  feet.  Sewanee  runners  Chuck 
Boswell,  Charlie  Orr  and  Scott 
Tully  finished  1-2-3  in  the  880; 
the  mile  relay  team  beat  their  oppo- 
nents; and  contributing  to  the  win 
were  Harding  in  the  440  dash,  Billy 
Cox  in  the  long  jump,  and  David 
Ricks  in  the  440  intermediate 
hurdles. 

A  disappointing  fifth  place 
finish  in  the  CAC  marred  the  record 
of  this  year's  small  team. 


Golf 

Sewanee  had  a  2-7  season  record 
but  finished  third  in  the  CAC,  led 
by  freshman  Wayne  Davis  with  a 
154  (75-79). 

The  Tennessee  Intercollegiate 
Championships,  held  at  the  Sewa- 
nee course  on  a  bright  sunny  week- 
end, drew  a  record  number  of 
entries.  The  Sewanee  team  finished 


fifth  out  of  twelve  teams  entered  i 
the  college  division.  Mark  Smith 
with  153  and  Ben  Jackson  with  155 
were  the  low  Sewanee  scorers,  with 
captain  Ken  Schuppert,  who  won 
the  CAC  as  a  freshman,  coming  j 
with  159.  The  university  divisio 
provided  some  excitement  when 
Emile  Vaughan  of  MTSU  won  the 
individual  scoring  with  a  64,  break- 
ing the  course  record,  and  a  par  72. 
Beating  out  Sewanee  were  Carson- 
Newman,  Christian  Brothers,  UTC 
and  David  Lipscomb,  the  latter  a 
full  scholarship  school  whom  Sewa- 
nee   beat    in    the    regular   season. 

Swimming  and  Gymnastics 

Synchronized  swimming  ended 
their  season  with  4  wins  and  1  loss. 
While  their  team  lost  to  the  Univer- 
sity of  Georgia,  Nora  Frances  Stone 
and  Jennifer  Ray  were  first  and 
second  in  individual  scoring.  The 
Stone-Ray  duo  got  better  support 
from  their  teammates  as  Sewanee 
downed  Mississippi  University  for 
Women.  Then  Sewanee  won 
three-way  meet  with  Agnes  Scott 
and  Brenau,  taking  the  first  four 
places  in  the  B  division  led  by  Anne 
Morton.  In  the  A  division  Jennifer 
Ray  finished  second  behind  Agnes 
Scott's  Laura  McDonald. 

The  gymnastics  team  wound  up 
the  year  with  4  wins  and  3  losses.

Y'all  Come 


Alumni  and  friends  and  friends  of 
alumni  and  friends,  their  families 
and  friends  of  their  families  are 
urged  to  reserve  immediately  for 
the  Alumni  Summer  College  July 
1-9  by  writing  to  Dr.  Edwin  Stirling, 
Sewanee,  Tennessee  37375. 

As  all  those  who  shared  the 
initial  experience  last  summer  will 
vouch,  this  is  a  splendid  chance  to 
arouse  routine-dulled  intellects  or 
sharpen  active  ones,  savor  the 
Mountain  at  its  greenest,  strengthen 
old  bonds  and  forge  new  ones.  Plus 
the  opportunity  to  enroll  your 
children  in  a  creative  day  program 
at  no  extra  cost,  that  will  allow 
them  a  vacation  from  their  parents, 
with  options  for  shared  recreation. 

As  before,  the  best  and  bright- 
est of  the  College  faculty  will  be 
assembled  to  present  aspects  of 
their  disciplines  and  launch  provoca- 
tive discussions  expected  to  con- 
tinue beyond  schedule.  No  home- 
work other  than  voluntary,  no 
grades,  no  competition. 

Douglas  Paschall,  C'66  and 
D.Phil.  Oxford  University,  will 
consider  criticism.  "I  hope  to 
show,"  Paschall  says,  "that  the 
critic  need  not  be  a  bogey-man  to 
be  avoided,  but  rather  a  guide  to  be 
sought." 

Harold  J.  Goldberg,  the  history 
department's  China  hand,  will  focus 
on  the  major  factors  which  shaped 
China's  development  in  the  Twen- 
tieth Century— nationalism,  com- 
munism, and  the  amazing  career  of 
Mao  Tse-tung,  and  will  include 
some  speculations  on  China's  future. 

Robert  C.  F.  Cassidy  of  the  de- 
partment of  religion  will  zero  in  on 
one  of  the  most  poignant  of  con- 
temporary dilemmas  with  "Death 
by  Choice:  A  Case  Study  in  Moral 
Decisioning."  A.  Scott  Bates, 
French  professor  who  has  been 
teaching  a  course  on  film,  will 
explore  critical  ways  of  looking  at 
movies,  with  several  samples  for 
viewing.  Marcia  Clarkson,  lecturer 
in  computer  science,  will  offer 
three  sessions  on  this  ubiquitous 
contemporary,  plus  an  opportunity 
for  elementary  school  children  of 
participants  to  use  a  computer 
assisted  mathematics  program. 
Tommy  Gene  Watson,  duPont's 
lively  new  librarian,  will  take  as 
his  thesis  "The  potential  of  the 
public  library  to  be  a  major  force 
which  shapes  society  makes  it,  in 
many  ways,  the  'hottest  spot  in 
town.'  We  will  examine  the  kinds  of 
service  people  have  a  right  to  ex- 
pect from  their  libraries  as  well  as 
what  they,  in  turn,  can  do  to  make 
libraries  more  potent  forces  in  the 
community."

THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


Academy  Board  of  Governors 
The  Rev.  Roderick  Welles,  Jr., 
newly  appointed  headmaster,  was 
expected  to  meet  with  the  Sewa- 
nee  Academy  alumni  governing 
board  at  their  meeting  May  21  just 
before  Commencement.  Also  pres- 
ent and  reporting  on  his  ideas  for 
the  Academy's  future  was  to  be 
headmaster  Henry  Hutson,  who  is 
leaving  this  summer  to  become 
headmaster  of  Christ  School,  Arden, 
North  Carolina.  Everett  Tucker, 
A'30,  of  Little  Rock,  who  serves 
on  the  board  of  governors,  was 
chosen  as  the  Commencement 
speaker. 

Alumni  Council  Meets  April  23 
"Sewanee  in  Transition"  was  the 
theme  of  this  year's  Alumni  Coun- 
cil, with  class  agents  in  attendance 
from  1921  (Thomas  Hargrave)  to 
1972  (Henry  Lodge)  and  others  in 
between  from  far  and  wide. 

Carrying  out  the  theme  in 
specific  terms  was  a  panel  presided 
over  by  former  Chancellor  and 
chairman  of  the  search  committee 
for  a  new  Vice-Chancellor,  Bishop 
Girault  Jones,  T'28,  H'49.  On  the 
panel  were  faculty  members  Gilbert 
Gilchrist,  C'49,  and  dean  of  women 
Mary  Sue  Cushman;  alumni  John 
Crawford,  C'28,  and  the  Rev.  James 
Johnson,  T'58;  and  junior  student 
trustee  Tommy  Williams.  Both 
Gilchrist  and  Williams  are  on  the 
search  committee. 

Dr.  Gilchrist  said  that  the  three 
most  important  jobs  immediately 
ahead  were  the  appointment  of  an 
interim  Vice-Chancellor  with  the 
respect  of  all  and  authority  to  act, 
the  choice  of  the  right  Vice-Chan- 
cellor, and  putting  in  order  the 
University's  financial  condition. 
Considerable  discussion  followed, 
especially  on  the  setting  of  priori- 
ties and  criteria  for  selecting  the 
new  Vice-Chancellor. 

Other  views  of  panelists:  Finan- 
cial aid  must  be  continued  on  the 
basis  of  need  and  awarded  up  to 
the  amount  for  which  that  need  is 
demonstrated.— Tommy  Williams. 
The  top  priority  of  Sewanee  is 
maintenance  of  the  highest  educa- 
tional standards.— Mary  Sue  Cush- 
man. Alumni  and  other  constitu- 
ents cannot  just  love  Sewanee  but 
must  work  for  Sewanee.— John 
Crawford . 

Giving  the  report  on  Opera- 
tion: Task  Force,  Mark  Oliver  as 
staff  director  for  annual  giving  said 
that  the  percentage  of  alumni  par- 
ticipation is  up  but  dollars  are 
down.  He  presented  awards  for 
reaching  five-per-cent-increase  goals 
for  1976-77,  to  Douglass  Mel 


C'45,  and  Henry  Lodge,  C'72.  Not 
present  but  recognized  as  goal- 
reachers  were  the  Rev.  Horatio 
Tragitt,  C'15;  1926  (Colie  Harwell 
recently  resigned  and  has  been  suc- 
ceeded by  Robert  Evans);  William 
Schoolfield,  C'29;  Lewis  Lee,  C'55; 
and  Billy  Joe  Shelton,  C'76. 

Dean  Stephen  Puckette,  C'49, 
proposed  a  plan  to  achieve  50  per 
cent  participation  by  all  classes. 
Dividing  by  four  the  number  of 
class  members  it  would  take  for  a 
class  to  reach  the  desired  50  per 
cent  giving  goal,  the  number 
determined  would  be  solicited  by 
four  classmates.  The  president 
commended  this  plan  to  all  class 
agents  for  adoption. 

Reports  on  progress  in  each  of 
their  respective  areas  of  concern 
were  given  by  the  Rev.  James 
Johnson,  T'58,  for  Church  Support; 
Richard  Simmons,  C'50,  for  Admis- 
sions; Warren  Belser,  C'50,  for 
Regions;  and  Edward  Watson,  C'30, 
for  Bequests. 

Mr.  Johnson  introduced  a  reso- 
lution of  appreciation  for  Dr. 
Bennett's  close  cooperation  with 
Sewanee  alumni  and  full  support  of 
the  development  program,  and 
sending  him  the  best  wishes  of  all 
in  the  years  to  come. 

Hall  Trophy-Alumni  Banquet 

John  Crawford,  without  question 
one  of  the  outstanding  class  leaders 
in  the  long  history  of  the  Associated 
Alumni,  was  presented  the  Hall 
Trophy  at  the  Alumni  Council 
banquet  for  having  brought  his 
class  in  the  last  fiscal  year  from 
about  20  per  cent  to  70  per  cent 
participation.  The  trophy  was  pre- 
sented by  O.  Morgan  Hall,  C'39, 
who  said  that  dedication  and  con- 
centrated effort  were  responsible 
for  this  success. 

Also  pointing  out  that  distance 
is  no  obstacle  to  success  in  the  class 
effort,  former  alumni  president  Hall 
cited  Mr.  Crawford  from  Portland, 
Maine,  and  Thomas  Hargrave,  C'21, 
of  Rochester,  New  York,  as  out- 
standing class  chairmen  traveling 
the  longest  distances  to  be  at 
Alumni  Council. 

Vice-Chancellor  Bennett  and  Dr. 
Gilbert  Gilchrist  both  addressed  the 
gathering.  Dr.  Bennett  expressed 
appreciation  for  support  during  his 
tenure  and  told  the  alumni  that  it 
must  not  be  interrupted.  "It  must 
be  increased  if  you^are  to  have  the 
kind  of  Sewanee  you  want  and  the 
kind  your  children  and  grandchild- 
ren deserve."

1977  Trying  for  100% 

Two  seniors,  William  Porcher  (Billy) 
DuBose  and  Henry  (Hank)  Selby, 
presented  themselves  in  the  alumni 
office  one  day  to  say,  "What  can 
we  do  for  Sewanee?"  As  a  conse- 
quence Billy  became  the  class  agent 
and  Hank  class  chairman.  The  two 
put  together  an  ingenious  plan  to 
have  the  class  of  1977  meet  on  two 
occasions  before  graduation  for 
fellowship  and  commitment. 

At  a  luncheon  where  the  seniors 
were  addressed  by  Dr.  Bennett  and 
Dr.    Gilbert    Gilchrist,    C'49,    the 


seniors  signed  a  pledge,  for  an 
indefinite  amount  since  many 
seniors  are  uncertain  of  their 
immediate  future  following  gradua- 
tion. Billy  DuBose  charged  the 
seniors,  "If  we  are  successful  in 
having  every  senior  sign  a  pledge, 
we  will  set  an  example  for  every 
prior  class  and  a  precedent  for 
every  future  class." 

Although  nearly  all  seniors 
were  at  the  luncheon,  Hank  Selby 
invited  all  to  a  beer  party  after 
"comps"  for  the  first  purely  social 


I  are  clued  into  events

function  with  the  view  of  having 
everyone  present.  Those  not  at  the 
luncheon  turned  in  their  pledges 
bringing  the  graduating  seniors  in 
the  class  of  1977  close  to  the  100 
per  cent  goal  for  participation  in 
unrestricted  giving. 

Mew  Trustees 

The  Associated  Alumni  have  elect- 
ed to  three-year  terms  on  the  board 
of  trustees  the  Very  Rev.  Allen  L. 
Bartlett,  C'51,  dean  of  Christ 
Church  Cathedral,  Louisville; 
George  Langstaff,  C'48,  president 
of  General  Shoe  of  Nashville;  and 
Richard  Simmons,  C'51,  president 
of  Hamilton  and  Shackelford  Insur- 
ance Company  of  Birmingham.  The 
Associated  Alumni  are  entitled  to 
seven  seats.  The  president,  George 
B.  Elliott,  C'51,  serves  by  virtue  of 
his  office. 

Sewanee  Club  Activity 
Coming  from  many  parts  of  Vir- 
ginia and  Maryland,  the  Sewanee 
Club  of  Washington  at  the  invita- 
tion of  president  Dr.  Jerry  Snow, 
C'61,  gathered  at  the  traditional 
meeting  place  in  rural  northern 
Virginia,  the  Evans  Farm  Inn, 
April  15  to  hear  Dr.  Ted  Stirling, 
C'62,  speak  and  answer  questions 
about  Sewanee  in  a  time  of  tran- 
sition. .  .  .  That  same  day  the 
lacrosse  team  was  in  Columbia, 
South  Carolina,  where  president 
Earl  H.  (Trace)  Devanny,  C'74,  had 
a  keg  on  the  field  and  young  alumni 
to  root  for  the  Tiger  club.  He  also 
announced  a  summer  party  for 
June  10,  revived  a  tradition  for  the 
pre-school  barbecue  at  White  Pond 
between  Columbia  and  Camden  for 
August  21  and  even  set  the  date  of 
January  6  for  the  annual  Christmas 
holiday  party.  All  clubs  please  take 
note  of  Central  South  Carolina 
activity  for  ideas  and  be  aware  of 
Dobbins  Trophy  competition  for 
the  best  club!  .  .  .  Tampa  Bay  Area 
heard  Sewanee's  veteran  raconteur 
Dean  John  Webb  at  the  University 
Club  of  Tampa.  This  club  has  found 
vigorous  new  leadership  in  president 
Bobby  Newman,  C'73.  .  .  .  The 
Tennessee  Valley  Club  (area  from 
fayetteville,  Tennessee  to  Florence 
and  down  to  Guntersville,  Alabama, 
centered  in  Huntsville)  went  audio- 
visual and  showed  "A  Place  for  Ivy" 
a'  the  residence  of  Jane  and  Carter 
Martin.  President  Lee  Prout,  C'61, 
with  strong  support  from  all  over 
north  Alabama  and  especially  from

Reunions  at  Homecoming 

Fifty-year  reunions  at  Sewanee  just 
in  the  past  few  years  have  become 
something  for  each  succeeding 
chairman  to  reckon  with  as  activity, 
attendance  and  nostalgia  combined 
for  a  kind  of  deja  vu  happening. 
Ralph  Speer,  C'27,  is  laying  plans 
with  his  classmates  for  what  may  be 
the  best  ever  at  this  Homecoming, 
October  21-23,  as  1927  classmates 
across  the  country  feed  in  their 
ideas  for  a  display  of  memorabilia 
and  all  that  goes  with  the  big  cele- 
bration. 

Last  year's  twenty-fifth  reunion 
saw  published  a  brochure  replete 
with  newsletter,  directory  and  pic- 
tures of  1951ers  celebrating  so 
nostalgically  that  it  went  to  all 
class  chairmen  for  future  ideas. 
The  Class  of  1952  under  the 
leadership  of  Andy  Duncan  and 
Win  Price  will  be  on  the  Mountain 
not  to  be  outdone  by  any  previous 
twenth-fifth  reunion. 

Classes  previous  to  1927  come 
to  the  Mountain  each  year  as 
Alumni  Exornati  (50-year  gradu- 
ates already  honored).  Classes  of 
years  in  multiples  of  five  will  have 
their  reunions  this  year:  1932,  their 
forty-fifth,  1937,  their  fortieth;  on 
up  to  1972,  their  fifth.  If  yours  is 
in  between,  you  are  welcome  to 
help  fellow  alumni  in  school  with 
you    celebrate    their    anniversary. 

ATO  Centennial 

"Centennial  Celebration  in  1977." 
This  is  the  theme  for  Sewanee's 
ATO,  which  has  been  on  the 
Mountain  for  one  hundred  years. 
Activities  at  Homecoming  will  be 
centered  in  the  Tennessee  Omega 
lodge,  the  oldest  fraternity  house 
in  the  South  before  it  burnt  and 
was  exactly  reproduced.  Mike  Par- 
due,  C'53,  plastic  surgeon  of 
Thousand  Oaks,  California,  is 
national  chairman. 

Career  Counseling 

Concluding  Alumni  Career  Counsel- 
ing May  5-6  was  the  session  on  law. 
Five  attorneys  and  a  law  student, 
Dale  Grimes,  C'75,  were  on  hand  to 
spell  out  the  rewards  and  hazards  of 
the  profession  to  Sewanee's  pre-law 
students.  In  attendance  were  Ned 
Boehm,  C'69,  general  practitioner 
of  Chattanooga,  Harold  Bigham, 
C'54,  Vanderbilt  law  professor; 
Robert  Hood,  C'66,  trial  lawyer  of 
Charleston;  and  Floyd  Sherrod,

Pat  M.  Greenwood,  C'28,  chairman  of  the 
board  of  the  Great  Southern  Life  Insurance 
Company  of  Houston  and  the  parent  Great 
Southern  Corporation,  was  presented  at  his 
company's  last  annual  meeting  with  a  bust  of 
himself  by  Robert  Berks,  sculptor  of  Presidents 
and  other  notables.  At  the  same  time  he  was 
inducted  into  the  company's  hall  of  fame 
as  an  honorary  member. 

The  gift  was  a  highly  appropriate  one  since 
he  is  a  connoisseur  and  collector  of  South- 
western art,  and  has  seen  to  it  that  good  art  is 
in  view  of  all  his  company's  400  employees. 

Mr.  Greenwood  joined  Great  Southern  after 
a  year  at  Sewanee  and  built  the  company  into 
one  that  passed  $3  billion  of  insurance  in  force 
last  September.  A  civic  and  philanthropic  leader 
in  Houston,  at  seventy  he  has  announced  no 
retirement  plans. 

He  relaxes  with  an  elaborate  model  railroad, 
complete  with  towns  and  countryside,  behind 
his  house.  "My  children  and  grandchildren  can 
watch  me,  "  he  says,  "but  I  won't  let  them 
touch  it. "

Charles   Wheatley,   C'66,   undertook  for  his 
master's  in  architecture  thesis  at  U.C.L.A.  a  de- 
sign for  the  rehabilitation  of  Sewanee's  Cannon 
Hall.  He  explains:  "The  problem  of  rehabilita- 
tion of  existing  buildings  is  an  important  design 
problem  facing  architects  today.  The  'rehab' 
as  opposed  to  the  restored  building  is  mainly 
concerned  with  the  efficient  reuse  of  a  building 
rather  than  its  return  to  an  'original  state'  or 
an  historical  style.  My  approach  to  Cannon 
Hall  was  as  a  'rehab.' .  .   .  The  new  building 
exists  as  a  dialectic:  two  buildings  which  relate 
by  their  common  fabric  (masonry)  but  contrast 
in  regard  to  their  technology  and  characteristics 


of  form  which  are  juxtaposed  next  to  one 
another.  The  tension  which  results  from  these 
juxtapositions  of  differences  in  fact  helps  to 
unify  the  two  into  a  complementary  whole." 

The  revitalized  structure  proposes   the 
inclusion  of  a  lecture  room  and  classroom, 
faculty  offices,  studios  for  sculpture  and  ceram- 
ics, videotaping  and  sound  recording,  exhibit 
and  event  space.  Adviser  for  the  project  was 
Cesar  Pelli,  now  dean  of  the  Yale  University 
school  of  architecture  and  one  of  eleven 
architects  from  the  United  States  invited  to 
participate  in  the  Venice  Biennale  last  summer.

GOING  FOR  A  FOURTH 


For  the  third  consecutive  year,  the  Million 
Dollar  Program  has  surpassed  its  goal  in  unre- 
stricted gifts  and  bequests.  Even  that  statement 
seems  to  be  hollow  without  some  understanding 
of  what  it  means  in  personal  sacrifice  and  dedica- 
ted love  for  The  University  of  the  South.  The 
goal  for  1976-77  was  $1,134,000.  The  gener- 
osity of  Sewanee's  benefactors  boosted  our  fis- 
cal-year total  to  $1,238,217,  a  campaign  record. 
Our  total  gift  income  for  the  year  in  restricted 
and  unrestricted  funds  was  $1,709,866. 

As  could  be  expected,  the  final  month  of 
the  campaign  was  crucial.  Unrestricted  gifts  of 
$208,562  received  in  June  gave  us  the  second 
highest  final-month  total  in  the  seven-year  his- 
tory of  the  Million  Dollar  Program,  designed  as 
a  direct  support  for  Sewanee's  operating  budget.

I  cannot  express  how  much  the  personal 
efforts  of  so  many  of  our  alumni  and  friends 
have  meant  to  this  campaign.  There  is  simply  no 
substitute  for  the  strong  and  aggressive  leader- 
ship of  committed  volunteer  leaders— the  regents, 
trustees,  alumni,  parents  and  friends.  I  have  said 
before  that  those  who  are  best  at  fund  raising 
are  volunteers  and  the  Vice-Chancellor,  and  in 
this  regard  I  should  mention  here  that  Dr.  J. 
Jefferson  Bennett,  the  university's  immediate 
past  Vice-Chancellor  and  President,  was  indis- 
pensible  to  the  success  of  the  campaign  just 
ended. 

I  should  also  mention  that  this,  our  third 
year  to  reach  our  program  goal,  was  also  the 
third  year  that  Robert  M.  Ayres,  our  acting 
Vice-Chancellor,  was  chairman  of  the  Million 
Dollar  Program. 

An  important  adjunct  to  our  fund  raising 
is  our  effort  to  make  people  increasingly  aware 
of  what  The  University  of  the  South  is  trying  to 
accomplish.  Even  some  of  our  alumni  believe 
Sewanee's  mission  may  have  changed  in  recent 
years.  But  the  commitment  of  our  faculty, 
staff  and  supporters  to  achieving  unusually 
high  academic  excellence  in  a  spiritual  en- 
vironment has  seldom,  if  ever,  been  stronger. 
Volunteer  leaders  are  important  in  explaining 
our  mission,  as  well  as  our  needs. 

These  times  are  not  kind  to  private  colleges 
and  universities.  While  The  University  of  the 
South  maintains  a  good  fiscal  posture  upon  a 
strong  financial  base,  other  schools  have  not 
been  as  fortunate.  In  the  past  seven  years,  the 
nation  has  lost  45  private  institutions  of  higher 
learning.  Mergers  of  private  schools  into  larger 
state-supported  systems  are  not  uncommon.  In 
maintaining  the  independence  of  The  University 
of  the  South,  we  must  appeal  increasingly  to  our 
alumni  and  friends  and,  with  their  assistance,  ex- 
pand our  base  of  support. 


An  innovation  in  this  past  year's  program 
was  the  organization  of  dinners  with  the  Vice- 
Chancellor.  The  dinners  had  a  threefold  purpose. 
First,  they  allowed  us  to"  identify  prospective 
donors.  Second,  the  dinners  enabled  these  per- 
sons to  hear  of  Sewanee's  missions  and  goals 
directly  from  the  Vice-Chancellor.  And  third, 
they  provided  a  beautiful  opportunity  for  the 
Vice-Chancellor  to  visit  with  donors,  many  of 
whom  were  not  alumni  but  were  Episcopalians 
or  persons  who  felt  a  special  commitment  to  the 
university.  In  thinking  back  over  the  dinners  this 
past  year,  I  remember  disappointments,  but  I 
remember,  as  well,  some  wonderful  surprises  in 
support  for  Sewanee. 

Plans  are  under  way  for  the  new  year.  Din- 
ners with  Robert  M.  Ayres,  our  acting  vice-chan- 
cellor, are  being  planned  for  eight  cities.  The 
tentative  schedule  includes  Atlanta,  Birmingham, 
Chattanooga,  Jacksonville,  Louisville,  Nashville, 
New  Orleans  and  San  Antonio. 

We  also  are  continuing  our  program  of  Met- 
ropolitan Area  Campaigns,  organizing  our  vol- 
unteer efforts  to  seek  financial  support  for  the 
University.  Other  benefits  are  resulting  from 
these  campaigns.  In  conducting  a  Metropolitan 
Area  Campaign  in  Jacksonville,  Florida,  we  saw 
the  Sewanee  Club  for  that  city  suddenly  re- 
juvenated. 

It  should  also  be  noted  specially  that  in 
addition  to  having  a  gradually  increasing  number 
of  donors,  the  Million  Dollar  Program  this  year 
has  nineteen  members  of  the  Chancellor's  So- 
ciety—persons who  gave  $10,000  or  more.  This 
breaks  last  year's  record  of  thirteen  members. 
A  highlight  of  the  year  was  an  exceptional- 
ly large  gift  from  Mrs.  Brownlee  Currey  of  Nash- 
ville. Mrs.  Currey  spent  summers  of  her  youth  at 
Tuckaway  Inn.  And  the  proceeds  of  her  gift 
have  made  possible  the  current  dormitory  reno- 
vation of  Tuckaway. 

Operation:  Task  Force,  implemented  last 
year  to  increase  the  number  of  alumni  gifts  by 
5  per  cent  each  year,  has  achieved  a  certain 
initial  success  while  not  reaching  the  goal.  The 
number  of  gifts  increased  an  average  of  4  per 
cent.  But  of  74  University  classes,  29  had  in- 
creases of  5  per  cent  or  more,  ranging  up  to  22 
per  cent  for  the  Class  of  '29  and  21  per  cent  for 
the  Class  of  '55. 

The  blessings  we  have  received  over  the 
past  months  have  given  us  confidence  to  look 
ahead  to  the  new  year  and  a  new  goal  of 
$1,150,000  for  the  Million  Dollar  Program.  Our 
confidence  can  only  be  a  product  of  our  en- 
thusiasm for  the  future  of  Sewanee.  But  we  need 
the  enthusiasm  and  commitment  of  all  of  our 
good  friends  and  alumni  to  make  this  new  year 
another  successful  one.

Admissions 
Motto: 
Plan  Ahead 

The  attention  of  America  is  on  the 
new  college  year — whether  football 
games  or  classes— but  the  Sewanee 
admissions  office  is  already  think- 
ing about  next  year,  and  smart  high- 
school  seniors  are  thinking  about 
next  year  too. 

By  now  the  College  admissions 
staff  has  accumulated  a  list  of  more 
than  2,200  names  of  prospective 
Sewanee  students.  And  the  first 
candidates  accepted  for  the  1978 
academic  year  will  be  receiving  ad- 
missions letters  by  mid-November. 

Albert  S.  Gooch,  Jr.,  admis- 
sions director,  said  he  will  have 
virtually  completed  admissions 
work  for  next  year  by  May  1.  By 
that  date,  he  and  his  staff,  includ- 
ing Paul  E.  Engsberg,  associate  di- 
rector, will  have  visited,  written  and 
talked  with  more  than  10,000  pro- 
spective students  and,  in  many 
cases,  their  families. 

Contacts  with  these  college 
prospects  will  prompt  approxi- 
mately 1,050  applications,  from 
which  a  freshman  class  of  290  to 
310  students  (60  percent  of  those 
actually  accepted  for  admission) 
will  be  enrolled. 

This  fall  Sewanee  has  310  new 
college  freshmen  and  another  fifty 
transfer   and    re-entering   students. 

"A  good  selection  of  appli- 
cants means  we  do  not  have  to 
accept  mediocre  students  just  to  fill 
spaces,"  Mr.  Gooch  said.  "But  at 
the  same  time,  we  do  not  have  to 
be  unfair  to  those  who  meet  ad- 
missions standards." 

The  current  list  of  2,200  or 
more  prime  college  prospects  is 
gathered  not  through  mailing  lists 
purchased  from  commercial  agents 
or  high-powered  advertising  cam- 
paigns but  by  proven  methods  of 
finding  those  students  who  not 
only  would  be  suitable  for  Sewanee 
but  would  find  Sewanee  the  place 
where  they  could  reach  their  high- 
est potentials. 

First  there  are  the  high  school 
students  who  know  something 
about  Sewanee  and  write  for  ad- 
missions information.  Other  stu- 
dents ask  that  their  ACT  and  SAT 
test  scores  be  sent  to  Sewanee. 
Sewanee  may  also  be  one  of  two 
colleges  listed  by  students  on  their 
Merit  Scholarship  applications.  Also 
the  list  of  some  300  students  who 
receive  Sewanee  Club  Awards  each 
year  in  their  junior  year  is  added  to 
the    new    year's    admissions    list. 

The  admissions  office  also 
asks  each  entering  freshman  to 
recommend  two  or  more  students 
from  the  junior  class  of  his  high 
school,  and  recommendations  are 
sought  from  the  clergy  of  each 
owning  diocese.  Then  there  are 
those  prospects  who  visit  the  Uni- 
versity on  the  recommendation  of 
friends  or  Sewanee  alumni. 


Albert  S.  Gooch,  Jr.,  admissions  director,  talks  with  Eric  Zimm  of  Temple  Terrace, 
Florida,  during  a  spring  visit  to  the  campus.  Eric  is  an  entering  freshman  this  fall. 


"Our  approach  is  not  that  of 
a  salesman,"  said  Mr.  Gooch,  "We 
do  not  want  anyone  to  come  to 
Sewanee  who  does  not  sincerely 
want  to  come  to  Sewanee. 

"Our  brochures  are  printed  in 
black  and  white,  not  because  we 
don't  have  ample  opportunity  for 
glamorous  color  pictures  but  be- 
cause we  look  at  our  job  as  intro- 
ducing, not  selling,  Sewanee  to  the 
prospective  student,"  he  said. 

The  student  sold  too  quickly, 
Mr.  Gooch  said,  may  be  lost  just  as 
quickly. 

The  first  criterion  for  admis- 
sions is  to  be  sure  the  student  can 
do  the  quality  of  work  required  at 
Sewanee.  The  next  step,  Mr.  Gooch 
said,  is  to  look  at  the  type  of  per- 
son the  applicant  is  through  extra- 
curricular activities  and  what  others 
say  about  him.  And  finally  the 
committee  tries  to  look  at  the  kind 
of  contribution  the  student  could 
make  at  Sewanee,  whether  through 


work  on  the  radio  station  or  news- 
paper, participation  in  athletics  or 
student  government  or  in  simply 
being  a  good  associate  to  other 
students. 

"Obviously  we  make  mistakes. 
Every  year,"  said  Mr.  Gooch,  "we 
accept  students  who  do  poorly  or 
flunk  out,  and  we  do  not  accept 
others  who  go  elsewhere  and  make 
Phi  Beta  Kappa." 

If  an  applicant  is  rejected,  he 
said,  it  is  important  that  the  ad- 
missions office  and  faculty  com- 
mittee on  admissions  not  do  it 
lightly. 

"At  the  end  of  our  dealings 
with  a  student  and  his  parents,  we 
want  them  to  know  that  we  at  Se- 
wanee were  their  friends,  were  in- 
terested in  them,"  he  said. 

"Every  time  someone  applies 
for  admission,  we  are  complimen- 
ted by  that  application,"  said  Mr. 
Gooch.  "We  look  for  ways  to  say 
yes."

SEPTEMBER  1977 

Robert  M.  Ayres,  Jr.,  C'49,  H'74,  has  been  directing  University  affairs 
as  acting  Vice-Chancellor  since  July  1.  His  schedule  has  been 
crowded.  Except  for  occasional  trips  away  from  the  campus,  it  has 
not  been  unusual  to  see  a  light  in  his  office  at  night.  His  feelings  about 
his  interim  position  are  expressed  here  in  a  special  interview. 


AN  INTERVIEW  WITH  ROBERT  AYRES 


Q.  How  long  do  you  expect  your 
appointment  as  Vice-Chancellor  to 
last,  and  what  opportunity  is  there 
to  take  any  meaningful  action  dur- 
ing this  time? 

A.  I  would  expect  to  be  here  for  a 
year.  It  very  likely  will  take  that 
long  for  the  selection  committee 
to  complete  its  work  and  for  the 
board  of  trustees  to  name  a  per- 
manent Vice-Chancellor. 

Since  I  am  not  a  stranger  to 
Sewanee— having  served  on  the 
board  of  trustees  and  the  board  of 
regents— I  feel  strongly  that  con- 
tinued action  can  be  taken  to 
strengthen  the  University  and  see 
that  we  meet  both  the  short-term 
and  long-term  goals  established  by 
the  regents. 

We  are  blessed  with  an  out- 
standing student  body  and  an  out- 
standing faculty  at  a  time  when 
many  colleges  are  suffering  from 
enrollment  problems.  Last  year  our 
freshmen  entered  with  the  highest 
test  averages  in  the  University's 
history.  I  am  also  impressed  with 
the  commitment  people  have  to  the 
University — the  faculty,  administra- 
tive staff,  and  employes  outside 
the  academic  area,  many  of  whom 
have  spent  twenty  and  thirty  years 
serving  this  community. 

We,    therefore,    have    an   ex- 

Q.  What  then  is  your  first  concern 
as  acting  Vice-Chancellor? 
A.  I  believe  it  is  of  primary  im- 
portance that  we  cease  to  operate 
at  a  deficit,  which  this  past  year 
approached  $500,000.  This  will 
be  particularly  difficult,  however, 
in  these  times  of  inflation  and  with 
the  limitations  we  have  for  increas- 
ing tuition  and  fees. 

Q.  Could  you  explain  some  of  the 
action  being  taken  to  eliminate  the 
deficit? 

A.  First,  we  have  to  operate  every 
segment  of  this  corporation  in  as 
efficient  a  manner  as  possible.  We 
must  tighten  our  belts.  This  may 
require  each  of  us  to  assume  a 
heavier  work  load. 

Q.  You  have  been  critical  of  the 
financial  drain  of  several  auxiliary 
services  of  the  University.  What  is 
the  alternative? 

A.  Our  auxiliary  services  offer  an 
opportunity  to  earn  some  income 
for  the  University.  I  think  it  is 
important  that  we  endeavor  to 
operate  these  auxiliary  services  in 
a  way  that  will  provide  the  best 
service  to  our  community.  It  is  my 
hope  that  this  year  we  can  increase 
the  revenue  of  these  services  and 
perhaps  turn  several  operations  to  a 
break-even  or  profit  position. 


Q.   Could   you   give  ah  example? 

A.  An  example  is  Emerald-Hodgson 
Hospital,  which  lost  $130,000  this 
past  year.  We  have  just  employed  a 
new  hospital  administrator,  a  man 
with  experience  in  rural  hospital 
management.  He  is  heading  an 
effort  to  bring  additional  phy- 
sicians to  Sewanee,  which  should 
increase  the  number  of  patients 
and    gradually   reduce    the   losses. 

Q.  Are  there  other  financial  prob- 
lems you  must  deal  with? 
A.  I  am  thankful  we  do  not  have  to 
build  any  new  facilities  at  this  time, 
but  I  am  concerned  about  the  con- 
dition of  some  of  our  existing  build- 
ings. These  maintenance  items 
weigh  very  heavily  on  our  budget 
each  year. 

Another  concern  is  the  size  of 
our  debt,  which  is  approximately 
$3.7  million.  The  interest  alone  on 
this  debt  last  year  was  in  excess  of 
$260,000.  If  we  could  find  the 
necessary  gifts  to  the  University  to 
reduce  this  debt,  it  would  enable  us 
to    reduce    the    operating   deficit. 

Q.  You  were  one  of  the  members 
of  a  special  committee  formed  last 
year  to  study  The  Sewanee  Acad- 
emy. That  study,  completed  this 
year,  actually  dealt  with  the  very 
life  and  death  of  the  Academy. 
Where  does  the  Academy  stand 
now  in  University  plans? 
A.  The  Academy  has  been  a  con- 
cern because  of  poor  enrollment 
these  past  several  years  and  thus  has 
created  losses  in  some  years  in 
excess  of  $100,000.  The  board  of 
regents  and  the  board  of  trustees 
have  expressed  their  determination 
to  continue  the  operation  of  the 
Academy.  Every  effort  possible  will 
be  made  to  strengthen  the  insti- 
tution. 

We  look  forward  to  the  leader- 
ship of  the  Rev.  Rod  Welles  as  head- 
master. We  have  a  fine  secondary 
school,  with  excellent  teaching,  and 
it  deserves  greater  support  through 
enrollment  and  financial  gifts  than 
it  has  received  in  the  past. 

Q.  Concerning  financial  campaigns, 
much  emphasis  has  been  placed  on 
annual  unrestricted  giving.  Will  that 
continue  to  receive  as  much  atten- 
tion? 

A.  The  annual  unrestricted  giving 
program  is  the  third  major  source 
of  income,  after  tuition  and  endow- 
ment income,  and  it  must  continue 
to  be  strengthened. 

Several  years  ago  the  Univer- 
sity initiated  the  Million  Dollar  Pro- 
gram, realizing  that  by  1975  we 
would  need  $1  million  a  year  in  un- 
restricted funds  to  balance  our  bud- 


get. We  have  exceeded  the  $1  mill- 
ion level  for  three  years,  but  we  still 
have  not  balanced  our  budget  be- 
cause costs  have  increased  faster 
than  our  income. 

I  feel  we  may  have  reached  a 
plateau  in  unrestricted  giving.  The 
$1.2  million  raised  this  past  year  is 
a  very  significant  sum  of  money  for 
an  institution  of  our  size.  Neverthe- 
less, we  must  maintain  that  level 
and  make  every  effort  to  increase  it. 

Our  endowment  provides  a 
very  significant  portion  of  our  in- 
come. It  must  be  managed  in  an  in- 
telligent manner  and  must  be  in- 
creased through  the  solicitation  of 
significant  contributions. 

Q.  Where  can  the  University  seek 

additional  financial  support? 

A.    I   am   deeply   concerned  with 

what  I  see  as  inadequate  church 

support  for  the  University  of  the 

South. 

One  hundred  and  twenty 
years  ago  a  very  small  group  of 
bishops,  representing  a  relatively 
few  parishioners  in  dioceses  which 
were  not  affluent,  gathered  almost 
as  much  money  for  the  University 
as  was  given  this  past  year  by 
churches  representing  significant 
numbers  of.  affluent  Episcopalians. 

This  says  one  or  two  things  to 
me,  and  we  at  Sewanee  need  to  give 
these  questions  a  hard  look:  Are  we 
providing  our  churches  with  a  real 
Christian  outreach  on  this  moun- 
tain? In  addition  to  providing  ex- 
cellent academic  offerings,  are  we 
helping  our  students  in  the  acad- 
emy, college,  and  seminary  to  find 
a  closer  personal  relationship  with 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  for  only  thus 
can  we  be  assured,  as  in  the  words 
of  the  University  prayer,  that  "the 
students  will  grow  in  grace  day  by 
day".  Do  we  have  a  community 
where  love  and  respect  for  one  ano- 
ther   is    of    the   highest   priority? 

If  we  are  doing  these  things, 
all  of  us  have  an  obligation  to  com- 
municate this  to  the  Episcopal  com- 
munity. 

We  are,  of  course,  serving  our 
Church  in  unique  ways.  A  new  pro- 
gram in  The  School  of  Theology, 
Theological  Education  by  Exten- 
sion, is  receiving  international  recog- 
nition. It  is  intended  to  provide  lay 
persons  with  the  education  needed 
for  the  kind  of  ministry  to  which 
every  baptized  person  is  called.  An 
enrollment  of  1,200  is  expected  by 
this  fall,  and  interest  is  growing 
daily. 

Q.  What  other  special  concerns  do 
you  have? 

A.  My  greatest  hope  for  this  year  is 
that  we  look  at  things  very  realis- 


tically here  at  Sewanee.  I  want 
there  to  be  an  openness  and  hones- 
ty about  ourselves  and  the  aims  of 
the  University. 

I  want  this  to  be  a  loving  com- 
munity, with  a  spirit  of  purpose  in 
each  individual  and  a  sense  of  com- 
mitment and  sacrifice.  This  does 
not  mean  sacrifices  have  not  been 
made;  for  instance,  our  faculty 
salaries  have  not  increased  as  fast 
as  inflation.  But  a  sense  of  commit- 
ment on  campus  can  be  conveyed 
to  our  benefactors,  friends  and 
alumni  everywhere. 

The  Chancellor  has  spoken 
.clearly  of  the  need  of  a  more 
Christian  life  style  on  this  campus. 
I  want  to  go  on  record  in  support 
of  this.  For  instance,  I  share  his 
view  that  excessive  drinking  is  in- 
appropriate    in    this    community. 

I  believe  also  we  need  to  be 
more  concerned  with  responsible 
stewardship  of  all  our  resources. 
We  must  reduce  waste  of  food  in 
our  dining  facilities,  greater  care 
should  be  taken  of  property  in  our 
dormitories,  and  we  must  be  con- 
cerned with  the  conservation  of 
energy  in  all  our  facilities. 

Q.  In  your  first  weeks  as  Vice- 
chancellor,  you  have  made  frequent 
visits  to  faculty,  student  and  com- 
munity gatherings.  Can  you  keep 
this  up  through  the  year? 
A.  I  certainly  hope  to.  For  instance, 
I  look  forward  to  meeting  as  many 
students  as  possible,  and  will  eat 
many  of  my  meals  in  Gailor  Hall. 

Q.  How  do  you  feel  about  student 
involvement    in    life   at   Sewanee? 

A.  Much  of  the  vitality  of  the  Uni- 
versity community  is  a  result  of  the 
involvement  of  the  student  body.  I 
see  them  seriously  engaged  in  their 
studies— and  also  participating  in 
sports  and  in  many  student  organi- 
zations. Communication  on  campus 
is  enhanced  by  a  responsible  news- 
paper and  radio  station. 

I  am  pleased  we  still  have  an 
Honor  Council  at  Sewanee.  It  is  sig- 
nificant that  our  students  are  will- 
ing to  give  of  themselves  and  their 
time  for  this  work.  Such  organi- 
zations as  the  Order  of  Gownsmen 
and  the  Delegate  Assembly  offer 
important  examples  of  outstanding 
student  leadership. 

Another  vital  organization  is 
the  Student  Christian  Fellowship, 
which  now  comprises  approximate- 
ly 10  per  cent  of  our  student  body. 

Student  leadership  is  one  of 
the  great  strengths  of  the  University, 
and  I  will  make  every  effort  to  give 
these   young   people  my  support. 


Woods  Named  Chairman 


aware  of  the  challenges  that  face 
the  University  of  the  South  in  the 
next  several  years.  I  will  do  my  best 
to  see  that  we  meet  them." 

Woods  is  the  third  member  of 
his  family  to  have  held  the  Sewanee 
chairmanship.  Both  his  father,  the 
late  J.  Albert  Woods,  and  his  uncle, 
the  late  G.  Cecil  Woods,  served  as 
chairman  of  the  board  of  regents. 
John  Woods  served  as  an  alumni 
trustee  before  being  elected  a  re- 
gent in  1973. 


John  W.  Woods,  C'54,  of  Bir- 
mingham has  been  elected  chairman 
of  the  University  board  of  regents, 
succeeding  Dr.  Richard  B.  Doss, 
C'50,     whose    term    has    expired. 

Woods  is  president,  chairman 
of  the  board  and  chief  executive 
officer  of  the  Alabama  Bancorpor- 
ation,  parent  holding  company  of 
the  First  National  Bank,  Birming- 
ham, and  some  dozen  other  banks 
and  financial  corporations  in  Ala- 
bama. 

He  took  his  bachelor's  degree 
in  English  at  Sewanee,  being  a 
member  of  Sopherim  and  the 
Mountain  Goat.  He  was  president 
of  the  Order  of  Gownsmen,  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  and  Blue  Key  honor 
fraternity. 

After  graduation  he  joined 
Chemical  Bank,  New  York,  be- 
coming an  officer  in  1959  and  vice- 
president  and  head  of  the  Southern 
Division  in  1965,  with  three  years 
out  for  Air  Force  service  as  a  jet 
pilot. 

In  1969  he  was  elected  presi- 
dent of  the  First  National  Bank  of 
Birmingham,  and  in  1972  became 
vice-chairman  of  the  board  of  First 
National  Bank  and  chairman  of  Ala- 
bama Bancorporation.  He  is  a  di- 
rector of  these  two  corporations 
and  also  of  Engel  Mortgage  Com- 
pany, Alabanc  Financial  Corpor- 
ation, Alabama  Power  Company, 
Avondale  Mills,  McWane,  Inc.,  and 
Protective  Life  Insurance  Company. 

He  is  president-elect  of  the 
Birmingham  Area  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, a  director  of  the  Metro- 
politan Development  Board  and  of 
the  YMCA,  trustee  and  treasurer  of 
Children's  Hospital,  a  trustee  of

Organization. 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Church 
of  the  Advent  in  Birmingham.  He 
and  his  wife,  the  former  Loti 
Chisolm,     have     three     daughters. 

On  accepting  the  chairmanship, 
Woods  said,  "While  I  am  honored 
to  have  been  elected  chairman  of 
the   board   of  regents,   I  am   well 


Schaefer  Is 
Interim  Provosf 

Dr.  Arthur  M.  Schaefer,  asso- 
ciate professor  of  economics  at 
the  University,  has  been  named  in- 
terim provost,  replacing  Thad  N. 
Marsh,  who  resigned  effective  June 
30. 

The  appointment  was  made  by 
Robert  M.  Ayres,  the  acting  vice- 
chancellor. 

"From  my  own  point  of  view, 
Sewanee  is  a  place  with  amazing  po- 
tential not  yet  realized,"  said  Dr. 
Schaefer.  "This  is  an  active  place, 
but  we  have  not  always  been  suc- 
cessful in  coordinating  those  acti- 
vities so  that  they  complement  each 
other." 

In  his  new  office,  he  said,  he 
will  be  trying  "to  put  the  puzzle  to- 
gether" in  a  sense  and  develop  an 
overall  plan,  "so  we  are  not  work- 
ing at  cross  purposes." 

Dr.  Schaefer  pointed  out  that 
there  has  been  a  feeling  for  some 
time  that  the  Sewanee  Inn,  for  in- 
stance, is  a  separate  function  of  the 
University  and  not  related  to  other 
activities.  He  indicated  that  the  Inn 
could  serve  an  important  service  in 
the  overall  University  mission, 
among  other  things  drawing  to  the 
University  people  who  might  other- 
wise not  have  any  contact  with 
Sewanee. 

The  Sewanee  Academy,  Dr. 
Schaefer  said,  is  another  example  of 
lost  potential.  He  noted  that  the 
new  headmaster  himself  has  ex- 
pressed a  desire  to  give  the  Aca- 
demy an  identity  of  its  own  while 
bringing  it  more  into  the  overall 
University  picture. 

"I  have  never  taught  at  a  place 
that  had  the  devotion  that  this  place 
has,"  Dr.  Schaefer  said.  "I  cannot 
put  my  finger  on  it,  but  it  is  there. 
But  we  have  not  mobilized  that  to 
the  extent  that  it  can  be  mobilized." 


Lacy  New 
Hospital  Head 


The  new  administrator  of  Emerald- 
Hodgson  Hospital  in  Sewanee  is 
Kenneth  Ray  Lacy  of  Laurel, 
Mississippi  who  has  been  an  ad- 
ministrator of  hospitals  in  Zachary, 
Louisiana  and  Virginia  Beach. 

Mr.  Lacy,  44,  succeeds  Dr. 
Russell  Leonard,  the  University 
health  officer,  who  has  been  serv- 
ing as  interim  administrator. 

He  was  the  administrator  of 
Lane  Memorial  Hospital  and  Nurs- 
ing Home  at  Zachary  for  five  years 
and  then  opened  the  larger  276-bed 
Bayside  Hospital  at  Virginia  Beach. 
During  his  administration  of  Lane 
Memorial,  it  was  designated  a 
model  hospital  for  the  nation  in  its 
accreditation  survey  by  the  Joint 
Commission  on  the  Accreditation 
of  Hospitals. 

Mr.  Lacy  noted  with  pleasure 
that  Emerald-Hodgson  "is  very  well 
planned  and  equipped."  He  also 
complimented  the  staff  of  the 
thirty-four-bed  Sewanee  facility, 
which  opened  in  its  new  location 
only  last  year. 


Doing  the  job,  as  he  says,  will 
mean  using  the  talents  of  the  Se- 
wanee community,  "and  we  have  a 
lot  of  talented  people,"  Dr.  Schae- 
fer said. 

Dr.  Schaefer  has  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Sewanee  faculty  since 
1966,  serving  during  that  time  on 
numerous  committees,  including 
the  committee  on  committees,  the 
benefits  committee  and  the  budget 
priorities  committee.  He  also  has 
been  active  in  the  American  Asso- 
ciation of  University  Professors, 
of  which  he  is  president  of  the 
Sewanee  Chapter  and  vice-president 
of  the  Tennessee  Conference. 

A  native  of  Philadelphia,  Dr. 
Schaefer  is  an  alumnus  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania  where  he 
earned  'his  undergraduate  and  grad- 
uate degrees  in  economics. 

After  attending  the  Wharton 
School,  he  served  four  years  as 
personnel  and  operations  adminis- 
trator at  the  Girard  Trust  Company, 
one  of  the  principal  banks  of  Phila- 
delphia. In  this  capacity,  he  was 
concerned  with  staffing,  salary,  ad- 
ministration and  operations  analysis. 
In  1955  he  left  his  position  at  Gi- 
rard to  pursue  an  academic  career.

author of  an  article  in  Plant  Phys- 
iology titled  "Transfer  RNA 
Methylation  in  Tissues  of  Zea  mays 


and  Nicotiana  tabacum"  and  will 
shortly  have  other  articles  pub- 
lished. 

The  Rev.  Craig  Anderson,  T'75,  will 
be  teaching  pastoral  theology  for  a 
year  at  St.  Luke's  during  the  sab- 
batical of  Dr.  Henry  Myers. 

While  a  student,  Craig  received 
the  Woods  Leadership  Award  and 
was  editor  of  the  St.  Luke's  Journal 
for  a  year.  He  has  just  spent  two 
years  as  assistant  chaplain  at  St. 
Luke's  and  was  in  the  Vanderbilt 
Ph.D.  program  in  theology  and  per- 
sonality. 

He  has  a  B.A.  from  Valparaiso 
University  and  was  market  and  ad- 
vertising manager  for  Procter  and 
Gamble's  Denver  office  before  en- 
tering the  seminary.  He  is  married 
and  has  one  child. 

Vappu  S.  Nuotio-Antar  is  an  assist- 
ant professor  of  physics,  substitut- 
ing this  year  for  Eric  Ellis,  who  is 
on  sabbatical  leave. 

Dr.  Antar  received  her  bach- 
elor's degree  in  1965  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Helsinki,  Finland.  She 
subsequently  received  two  master's 
degrees  at  Helsinki  in  theoretical 
physics  and  applied  mathematics 
and  was  awarded  her  doctorate  in 
1970. 

As  an  ASLA-Fulbright  Scholar, 
she  entered  the  University  of  Texas 
at  Austin  in  1970  and  stayed  a  sec- 
ond year  to  do  work  in  aerospace 


engineering.  More  recently  she  has 
studied  at  Niels  Bohr  Institute, 
Denmark  and  Heidelberg  University, 
Germany. 

For  most  of  the  past  twelve 
years,  she  has  been  working  for  the 
Finnish  Academy  of  Sciences 
through  the  University  of  Helsinki. 

Dr.  Antar  resides  in  Tullahoma, 
where  her  husband  is  an  assistant 
professor  of  aerodynamics  at  the 
University  of  Tennessee  Space  Insti- 
tute. 

James  H.  Hill,  C'77,  has  been  hired 
as  junior  forester,  to  assist  in  the 
management  of  the  10,000-acre 
domain  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Charles  Baird,  head  of  the  depart- 
ment of  forestry  and  geology.  Hill 
was  co-winner  of  the  Allen  Farmer 
award  in  forestry  and  graduated 
with  honors.  The  Vice-Chancellor 
has  established  a  forest  manage- 
ment advisory  committee,  headed 
by  the  provost  with  Dr.  Baird  as 
secretary.  Other  members  are  Harry 
Dodd,  University  treasurer;  Dr. 
Marcus  Hoyer,  assistant  professor 
of  geology;  Dr.  George  Ramseur, 
professor  of  botany;  Dr.  Charles  E. 
McGee,  head  of  the  USFS  Silvicul- 
ture Laboratory  in  Sewanee;  and 
Sewanee  resident  Richard  Winslow, 
C'65,  forester  for  Tennessee  Con- 
solidated Coal  Company. 


Geology:  Following  the  Founders'  Lead 


With  the  reorganization  of  the 
forestry  department  into  the  depart- 
ment of  forestry  and  geology  comes 
a  reshuffling  of  space  in  the  Snow- 
den     Forestry    Building    as    well. 

The  forestry  library  is  being 
moved  to  duPont  to  be  consoli- 
dated with  the  main  library;  the 
drafting  tables  have  been  moved 
into  the  library  space  to  make  room 
for  a  ground  floor  geology  lab;  and 
two  of  the  small  offices  will  be  oc- 
cupied by  the  German  department 
this. year.  A  junior  forester  has  been 
hired  to  assist  in  the  management 
of  the  domain. 

The  geology  program  envi- 
sioned by  the  founders  of  the 
University  has  finally  gotten  started, 
120  years  after  it  was  called  for  in 
the  ordinances.  Marcus  C.  Hoyer,  a 
geologist  with  a  Ph.D.  from  Ohio 
State,  arrived  this  summer  full  of 
enthusiasm  for  his  pioneering  role. 
The  first  semester  he  is  teaching 
two  sections  of  physical  geology, 
the  introductory  course,  with 
twenty-five  students  each.  The 
second  semester  he  plans  to  teach 
the  introductory  course  plus  one  in 
either  historical  geology  or  hydro- 
logy. Field  trips  will  be  part  of  the 


lab  experience,  and  he  arrived  in 
Sewanee  a  month  early  to  find  out 
what  places  nearby  would  be  good 
destinations  for  field  trips. 

"An  opportunity  to  initiate  a 
program  in  this  day  and  age  does 
not  come  along  very  often,  in  a 
field  as  old  as  geology  at  least," 
says  Dr.  Hoyer.  His  specialties  pre- 
viously have  been  very  old  or  pre- 
Cambrian  rocks,  or  those  formed 
in  the  last  four  to  ten  million  years 
(both  of  which  types  he  will  have 
to  do  without  at  Sewanee). 

"I  haven't  been  a  rock  col- 
lector before,"  he  said,  "but  I'm 
going  to  start."  His  dissertation 
reported  on  his  studies  of  paleo- 
magnetism  in  silt  and  clay,  and  his 
master's  thesis  was  on  the  Puget 
Peak  avalanche  in  Alaska.  How- 
ever, his  discipline  promises  to  shed 
valuable  new  light  on  Sewanee 
practicalities- -he  is  already  half- 
way through  the  two-inch-thick 
engineering  report  on  EPA  recom- 
mendations for  upgrading  Sewanee 's 
sewage  plant. 

Marc  Hoyer  was  bom  in  Chi- 
cago, received  his  B.A.  in  geology 
from  Augustana  College  and  his  M. 
S.  from  Arizona  State  University. 
He    taught  at   Gustavus   Adolphus 


Dr.  Marcus  Hoyer,  geologist 


College  in  Minnesota  and  at  Murray 
State  University  in  Kentucky  before 
coming  to  Sewanee.  He  held  NDEA 
and  Bownocker  Fellowships,  and 
did  his  Alaska  field  work  under  the 
auspices  of  USAROD  and  the  Army 
Natick  Laboratory.  He  was  on  the 
football  and  wrestling  teams  in  col- 
lege, likes  to  jog,  hike  and  back- 
pack. He  is  a  member  of  the  Geo- 


logical Society  of  America  and  the 
Geological  Society  of  Kentucky; 
Sigma  Xi,  scientific  research  so- 
ciety; Sigma  Gamma  Epsilon,  hon- 
orary earth  science  fraternity;  and 
AMQUA.  His  wife,  Mari-Ann,  has  a 
master's  degree  in  special  education 
from  Arizona  State  University. 
They  have  two  children,  Kristin  and 
Matthew.

Joining  duPont  and  St.  Luke's 

ON 

REDOING 
THE  ATTIC 


Even  occasional  visitors  to  the 
Jessie  Ball  duPont  Library  have  no- 
ticed important  changes  since  Tom 
Watson  took  over  as  librarian  just 
over  a  year  ago.  Relocation  of  the 
reference  department  in  the  more 
spacious  reading  room  heads  the 
list. 

But  more  profound  changes 
are  in  the  offing. 

Plans  have  been  drawn  for 
completing  and  opening  the  third 
floor  of  duPont,  which  now  looks 
like  grandma's  attic,  somewhat  en- 
larged, complete  with  odd  pieces  of 
furniture  and  boxes  of  old  books. 

More  significantly,  the  third 
floor  will  be  the  new  home  of  The 
School  of  Theology  Library,  which 
will  be  moved  from  St.  Luke's  Hall, 
leaving  its  cramped  maze  of  stacks 
and  rooms  for  renovation  into  an 
administrative  complex,  classrooms, 
lecture    hall    and    reading   lounge. 

Grant  proposals  are  ready  to 
present  to  selected  foundations  in 
search  of  $500,000  to  finance  the 
joint  project.  Mr.  Watson  estimates 
the  cost  of  the  third-floor  develop- 
ment at  $350,000.  Renovating  the 
present  St.  Luke's  facility  would 
cost  another  $150,000. 

When  completed,  duPont  not 
only  will  house  The  School  of  The- 
ology Library  but  will  contain  an 
enlarged  and  improved  University 
archives  section.  The  theology  lib- 
rary will  occupy  the  great  majority 
of  the  third  floor,  however,  with  a 
reading  room  (much  larger  than 
the  present  one),  three  small-group 
study  rooms,  a  lounge,  two  seminar 
rooms,  nineteen  enclosed  faculty 
carrels  and  private  office  space  for 
the  reference  staff. 

There  will  be  stack  space  for 
110,000  volumes  (150,000  maxi- 
mum) compared  to  the  presently 
cramped  space  for  60,000  volumes 
at  St.  Luke's.  Mr.  Watson  said  the 
situation  at  the  theology  library  has 
reached  the  point  that  to  add  a  vol- 
ume it  is  almost  necessary  to  take  a 
volume  off  the  shelf.  And  about 
6,000  volumes  already  have  been 
moved  from  St.  Luke's  into  duPont. 

The  composition  of  the  lib- 
rary collection,  however,  also  will 
be  changed  with  the  move  to  du- 
Pont. Mr.  Watson  said  the  entire 
philosophy  and  religion  collection 
of  the  University  will  be  combined 
on  the  third  floor,  bringing  signifi- 
cant benefit  to  both  duPont  and 
the  theology  library. 

The  School  of  Theology  col- 
lection will  fill  in  some  subject  gaps, 
notably  in  sociology,  which  is  not 
presently  well  represented  at  du- 
Pont. Also  The  School  of  Theology 
volumes  on  art,  music  and  certain 
aspects  of  psychology  will  be 
blended  into  the  larger  duPont 
stacks.

i  duPont  third  floor  destined  to  be  finished  i 


While  most  large  universities 
have  separate  library  collections  for 
their  graduate  or  professional  lib- 
raries, Mr.  Watson  said  that  practice 
seems  to  be  changing. 

"It  has  never  made  particular- 
ly good  sense  on  a  campus  of  this 
size,"  he  said.  "It  is  inefficient  and 
expensive." 

There  has  been  resistance 
among  theology  students  and  some 
faculty  members  to  moving  the 
theology  library.  Seminarians  have 
enjoyed  the  convenience  of  being 
able  to  visit  the  library  between 
classes  or  avoid,  during  bad  weather, 
the  150-yard  walk  to  duPont.  The 
traditional  informality  of  St.  Luke's, 
they  fear,  might  be  lost  forever, 
along  with  the  custom  of  giving 
many  students  keys  and  twenty- 
four-hour    access    to    the    library. 

The  appearance  of  Mr.  Watson 
last  year  apparently  softened  some 
of  the  early  foreboding.  And  plans 
have  proceeded  resolutely  under 
Mr.  Watson;  the  Very  Rev.  Urban 
T.  (Terry)  Holmes,  the  School  of 
Theology  dean,  and  Edward  Camp, 
who  has  been  St.  Luke's  librarian 
for  twenty  years  and  associate  Uni- 
versity   librarian    since    last    year. 

Mr.  Camp  is  particularly  sen- 
sitive to  the  fact  that  the  theology 
library  has  been  a  rather  exclusive 
gathering  place  for  seminarians, 
with  their  common  interests  and 
problems. 

"The  proximity  of  the  lib- 
rary and  classrooms  of  course 
means  the  library  can  be  personal," 
Mr.  Camp  said.  "Undoubtedly  some 
of  the  informality   will  be  lost." 

But  he  points  out  that  the 
building,    dedicated   in   1879,   was 


not  designed  for  the  type  of  curri- 
culum, in  its  informal  setting,  used 
today. 

Mr.  Camp  indicated  that  long- 
range  plans  for  the  seminary  and  its 
library  may  have  been  changed  by 
circumstances  about  the  time  he  ar- 
rived because  the  annual  purchase 
of  books  quickly  doubled  and  then 
tripled.  The  shelves  "long  ago  filled 
up,"  he  said,  and  a  search  for  addi- 
tional space  was  begun. 

To  build  a  new  wing  for  St. 
Luke's  of  comparable  size  to  the 
duPont  third  floor  would  cost  an 
estimated  $1.5  million.  Therefore, 
the  duPont  plan,  Mr.  Watson  noted, 
has  both  fiscal  and  logistical  ad- 
vantages for  everyone. 

The  greatly  expanded  space 
for  St.  Luke's  will  mean  more  space 
for  college  faculty  and  students. 
And  the  additional  120  student  car- 
rels planned  for  duPont's  third 
floor  not  only  will  accommodate 
the  seminary  students  but  will  leave 
forty  to  fifty  more  carrels  for  stu- 
dents in  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences. 

The  new  third-floor  archives 
room  will  occupy  only  12  per  cent 
of  the  floor's  30,000  square  feet  of 
usable  space.  But  the  archives,  a  nat- 
ural adjunct  to  the  School  of  The- 
ology Library,  will  be  easily  acces- 
sible to  all  students.  Mr.  Watson 
pointed  out  further  that  only  20 
per  cent  of  the  archives  material  can 
be  reached  presently  from  the 
second-floor  archives  rooms  be- 
cause the  bulk  of  the  material  is 
stored,  and  "stored  inadequately", 
on  the  third  floor. 

Under  the  new  plans,  a  circular 
stairway  will  lead  from  the  archives 


on  the  third  floor  into  the  present 
special  collections  and  archives  area 
on  the  second  floor.  The  University 
archives  will  then  have  room  for 
two  special  collections,  both  on  the 
second  floor — a  rare-books  room 
and  the  Sewaneeana  Room  for  ma- 
terial specifically  related  to  Se- 
wanee. 

Establishing  a  place  for  all  rare 
books  belonging  to  a  library  is  most 
important,  Mr.  Watson  said.  A  third 
of  the  rather  large  collection  of  rare 
books  is  stored  on  the  open  third 
floor.  There  are  scores  of  leather- 
bound  folio-sized  volumes  dating 
from  the  17th  and  18th  centuries. 

They  should  be  housed,  Mr. 
Watson  explained,  in  a  place  with 
proper  climate  control  where  the 
leather  bindings  can  be  preserved 
and  properly  exhibited. 

The  University  administration 
has  determined  that  funding  for  the 
duPont-St.  Luke's  project  shall  come 
principally  from  foundations.  Mr. 
Watson  said  he  expects  that  differ- 
ent parts  of  the  project  will  be 
acceptable  to  different  foundations, 
and  that,  therefore,  the  entire  pro- 
ject likely  will  not  be  financed  by  a 
single  grant. 

The  University  Development 
Office  has  identified  those  founda- 
tions that  would  be  amenable  to  at 
least  a  part  of  the  project— whether 
involving  archives,  theological  li- 
braries or  general  library  develop- 
ment—and Mr.  Watson  and  Dean 
Holmes  are  making  contacts  with 
foundation  representatives  this 
fall. 


SEPTEMBER  1977 


Lecture  Series  Gears  Up 


Christopher  Mayhew,  a  former 
member  of  the  British  Parliament 
and  an  expert  on  the  Middle  East, 
will  speak  in  Sewanee  at  8:15  p.m. 
October  27  in  the  Bishop's  Com- 
mon lounge. 

Although  the  first  speaker  of 
the  year  attracted  by  the  duPont 
Lectures  Committee,  Mr.  Mayhew 
will  not  strictly  speaking  be  the 
season's  first  duPont  lecturer.  The 
committee  also  is  contributing  to 
the  appearance  of  actress  and  teach- 
er Katharine  Sergava  of  New  York 
City,  who  will  present  a  lecture- 
demonstration  on  "The  Actor's 
Art"  September  29  in  Guerry  Hall. 
The  acting  group  is  making 
Sewanee  its  base  for  a  week  while 
traveling  to  area  cities,  such  as 
Nashville  and  Huntsville,  for  per- 
formances. The  student  actors  are 
led  by  their  director,  Katherine 
Sergava. 

While  not  immediately  evident, 
the  emphasis  of  the  duPont  Lec- 
tures Committee  is  shifting  away 
from  the  bigger  (and  much  more 
expensive)  names  to  speakers  who 
can  also  talk  with  authority,  and 
often  with  much  more  interest, 
on  crucial  issues  of  the  day. 

The  Rev.  Don  S.  Armentrout, 
committee  chairman,  said  this 
policy  will  mean  more  speakers  this 
year.  It  involves  spending  $300  to 
$500  a  speaker  instead  of  $1,000 
to  $1,750. 

In  many  cases  the  less  ex- 
pensive speaker  is  better  prepared, 
he  said. 

An  exception  to  the  new 
policy,  however,  will  probably  be 
made  in  the  case  of  the  Michael 
Harrah  Wood  Memorial  Lecture  in 
the  spring.  For  that  lecture,  a  very 
well-known  personage  will  be 
sought. 

Last  year  the  Wood  lecturer 
was  the  medieval  English  scholar, 
Christopher  Brooke,  who  spoke  on 
campus  during  Sewanee 's  Mediaeval 
Colloquium.  . 

Dr.  Armentrout  noted  that 
the  committee  attempts  to  cooper- 
ate with  as  many  groups  on  campus 
as  possible,  contributing  money 
here  and  there,  often  to  depart- 
ments, to  help  defray  the  cost  of 
speakers. 

The  committee  works  with  a 
budget  of  about  $6,000.  And  to  pre- 
pare for  its  own  speakers,  it  seeks 
suggestions  from  all  faculty  mem- 
bers and  departments. 

"We  try  to  cover  all  disci- 
plines," Dr.  Armentrout  said.  "We 
also  like  to  have  lectures  of  general 
interest  and  try  not  to  duplicate  the 
lecture  .  series  of  The  School  of 
Theology." 

To  hold  down  travel  costs,  the 
committee  also  tries  to  "hook" 
notable  speakers  visiting  neighbor- 
ing campuses. 


Another  important  practice  of 
the  lecture  policy  at  Sewanee  is 
that  students  become  involved  by 
taking  lecturers  to  breakfast  and 
lunch  and  by  meeting  them  at  the 
airports.  Dr.  Armentrout  said  the 
students  who  drove  Andrew  Young 
from  Chattanooga  to  Sewanee  last 
year  had  an  unforgettable  experi- 
ence. 

Other  members  of  the  com- 
mittee are  William  M.  Priestley, 
Anita  S.  Goodstein  and  Virginia 
Owen.  In  addition,  another  faculty 
member  will  be  appointed  this  year 
to  a  three-year  term,  and  three 
students— one  from  the  seminary 
and  two  from  the  College— will  be- 
come members. 


the  Rev.  C.  FitzSimons  All 


Squaring  Off  on  Evangelism 


Two  distinguished  theologians  have 
accepted  invitations  to  speak  in  the 
DuBose  Lectures  October  19  at  The 
School  of  Theology. 

Summer 

Joint  Ministry  Studies 

"Helpful,"  "unique,"  "exact- 
ing," "beautiful"  and  "expensive" 
were  some  of  the  statements  made 
by  students  of  this  summer's  Joint 
Doctor  of  Ministry  Program  at 
Sewanee. 

The  Rev.  Patrick  Murray  of 
Fayetteville,  Arkansas,  who  attend- 
ed as  a  special  student,  remarked 
about  "the  quality  of  the  teachers— 
they  know  what  they're  doing." 
He  also  found  quality  in  his  fellow 
students  and  their  discussion. 

In  all  there  were  thirty-six 
students  attending  classes  from 
June  28  to  July  28.  Fourteen  of 
them  were  going  for  their  D.Min. 
degrees  in  the  program,  which  takes 
three  to  five  summers  to  complete 
under  the  joint  sponsorship  of  the 
School  of  Theology  in  Sewanee  and 
the  Vanderbilt  University  Divinity 
School  in  Nashville. 

About  half  the  students  were 
accompanied  to  Sewanee  by  their 
families,  and  some  spouses  would 
occasionally  visit  classes.  A  course 
in  marriage  counseling,  taught  by 
Dr.  Henry  Myers,  was  well  attended. 

The  Rev.  Charles  Mclntyre, 
back  from  Vernon,  Texas,  was  en- 
rolled as  a  special  student,  though 
he  says  he  may  pursue  the  D.Min. 
someday.  He  was  among  those 
temporary  bachelors  bunking  on 
St.  Luke's  fourth  floor  and  said  of 
the  climb,  "My  knees  are  getting 
in  shape  for  the  rest  of  the  year." 
The  Rev.  Jim  Horton  of 
LaMarque,  Texas,  said  of  the  pro- 
gram: "It's  good  R  and  R— I'm 
trying  to  promote  it  in  my  diocese 
among  my  clergy  friends." 

Methodist,  Lutheran  and  Chris- 
tian churches  were  represented  in 
the    student    body,    that    included 


They  are  the  Very  Rev.  O.  C. 
Edwards,  dean  of  Seabury-Westem 
Theological  Seminary,  and  the  Rev. 
C.  FitzSimons  Allison,  rector  of 
Grace    Church,    New    York    City. 

They  are  expected  to  take  some- 
what contrasting  positions  on  the 
question  of  evangelism  and  may 
present  some  fresh  views  about  the 
direction  the  church  may  be  moving 
on    several    theological    questions. 

The  convocation  will  conclude 
with  a  celebration  of  St.  Luke's 
Day  in  St.  Luke's  Chapel  at  4:30 
p.m.  October  20. 


Religion  and  Myth 

The  Rev.  Francis  X.  Sullivan, 
a  member  of  the  Roman  Catholic 
Society  of  Jesus  (Jesuit),  will  talk 
on  the  role  of  myth  in  religion, 
at  the  annual  Arrington  Lectures 
November  14-18  at  The  School  of 
Theology. 

The  lectures  will  be  from  the 
viewpoint  of  the  history  of  religion, 
anthropology  and  literature.  Father 
Sullivan  was  a  member  of  the  fac- 
ulty last  year  at  the  Gregorian  Uni- 
versity in  Rome  and  will  teach  this 
year  at  Boston  College.  He  is  a  poet 
of  some  distinction  and  is  expected 
to  read  some  of  his  work. 


interfaith  chaplains.  The  Rt.  Rev. 
Reginald  Hollis,  Episcopal  bishop 
of  Montreal,  also  attended. 

The  program,  which  began  in 
1974,  had  its  first  commencement 
May  29.  The  six  original  Doctor  of 
Ministry  graduates  were:  The  Rev. 
Mercer  Logan  Goodson  of  Bogalusa, 
Louisiana;  the  Rev.  Edward  Meeks 
Gregory  of  Richmond,  Virginia;  the 
Rev.  Robert  Sturgis  Kinney  of 
Amarillo,  Texas;  the  Rev.  John 
McKee  of  Atlanta,  Georgia;  the  Rev. 
William  Stuart  Pregnall  of  Alexan- 
dria, Virginia;  and  the  Rev.  Albert 
Clinton  Walling  of  Houston,  Texas.

UPDATE  ON  FACULTY  ACTIVITIES 


Readers  of  the  Sewanee  News 
have  expressed  interest  in  out-of- 
class  activities  of  Sewanee  faculty, 
and  since  independent  work  is 
also  of  interest,  though  not  always 
well  known,  to  other  faculty  mem- 
bers, a  list  is  compiled  here.  Of 
necessity  only  a  part  of  the  faculty 
is  mentioned  in  this  issue. 

George  Core,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  English  and  editor  of  the 
Sewanee  Review,  has  several  books 
"in  progress",  a  review  published, 
another  almost  out  and  an  article 
on  the  drawing  board.  The  books: 

(1)  a  study  of  new  Southern  critics, 

(2)  a  study  of  modem  Southern 
literature,  (3)  an  edition  of  John 
Crowe  Ransom's  letters,  and  (4)  a 
study  of  literary  agency  and  literary 
economics.  The  reviews  (which  are 
in  addition  to  works  in  the  Sewanee 
Review):  (1)  on  Ransom  and  his 
colleagues,  especially  Allen  Tate, 
in  the  summer  issue  of  the  Virginia 
Quarterly  Review,  and  (2)  on 
Patrick  White's  new  novel,  A  Fringe 
of  Leaves,  in  the  fall  Virginia  Quar- 
terly. In  addition  Dr.  Core  is  read- 
ing regularly  for  the  University  of 
Georgia  Press  and  the  University 
of  Illinois  Press,  and  he  is  a  consult- 
ant for  the  National  Endowment 
for  the  Humanities,  which  primarily 
involves  evaluating  research  fellow- 
ships. Last  year  he  finished  a  three- 
year  stint  as  secretary-treasurer  and 
then  secretary  of  the  Society  for 
the  Study  of  Southern  Literature. 

Richard  Duncan,  an  art  in- 
structor, has  work  on  display  in 
several  exhibitions,  some  on  tour 
throughout  the  U.  S.  and  Canada. 
Beginning  this  fall,  October  8-27, 
Mr.  Duncan  will  have  a  one-man  ex- 
hibit at  The  Hunter  Museum  of 
Art,  Chattanooga.  He  was  the  first 
artist  selected  for  the  inaugural 
exhibition  in  the  new  upper  gallery 
of  the  museum.  He  wUl  have  an- 
other one-man  show  at  the  Genesis 
Gallery  in  Chattanooga  this  fall, 
and  an  exhibit  in  The  University  of 
the  South 's  St.  Luke's  Oratory  next 
spring.  Other  projects  include  an 
edition  of  prints  to  be  published 
soon  by  Platework  Press  of  Atlanta,

etchings  with  the  aid  of  a  Ford 
Grant  from  the  University,  and  con- 
struction of  large  print-canvas  work. 
Mr.  Duncan  also  will  be  studying 
the  zone  system  of  photography 
with  Bradley  Burns  of  the  Hunter 
Art  Museum  for  the  next  several 
months,  for  which  he  recently  com-

algebraic  text  titled  Basic  Concepts 
of  Algebraic  Topology,  which 
should  be  published  next  spring. 
Dr.  Croom  is  teaching  a  course  at 
Louisiana  State  University  where  he 
also  is  collaborating  with  a  col- 
league there  in  doing  research  in 
topology.  His  wife,  Henrietta,  an 
assistant  professor  in  biology,  is 
with  him  and  is  teaching  micro- 
biology at  LSU. 

Robert  W.  Lundin,  professor 
of  psychology,  is  the  author  of  one 
of  thirteen  chapters  of  a  book, 
Current  Personality  Theories,  pub- 
lished in  June  by  Peacock  Pub- 
lishers. The  chapter  was  titled 
"Behaviorism:  Operant  Reinforce- 
ment." Dr.  Lundin  plans  to  revise 
two  of  his  previously  published 
books. 

William  M.  Priestley,  associate 
professor  of  mathematics,  is  work- 
ing on  notes  for  an  introductory 
calculus  text.  Two  of  his  papers 
were  recently  published:  "Sets 
Thick  and  Thin,"  in  the  American 
Mathematical  Monthly,  and  "A 
Noncommutative  Korovkin  Theo- 
rem," in  the  Journal  of  Approx- 
imation Theory. 

Arthur  Knoll,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  history,  has  authored  a 
210-page  work,  Togo  Under  Im- 
perial Germany,  1884-1914,  a  case 
study  in  colonial  rule,  which  is  be- 
ing published  this  fall.  The  project 
was  aided  by  a  grant  from  The 
University  of  the  South. 

Kenneth  R.  Wilson  Jones,  pro-

history,  has  authored  an  essay  in 
The  Social  Impact  of  the  Telephone, 
published  in  June  by  the  M.I.T. 
Press.  The  work,  titled  'The  Bri- 
tish Experience,  1876-1912",  grew 
out  of  a  talk  Mr.  Perry  gave  last 
year  at  the  Bell  Centennial  Sym-

SEPTEMBER  1977 


ON  AND  OFF  THE  MOUNTAIN 


Unusual  Summer 

Dr.  George  Ramseur  conducted 
what  was  probably  the  most  un- 
usual and  interesting  class  of  the 
summer  school.  It  began  the  day 
after  commencement  and  ended  the 
day  before  the  rest  of  the  summer 
school  started,  and  carried  three 
hours  credit. 

A  earful  of  botany  students 
was  selected  to  accompany  him  on 
a  trip  to  the  North  Carolina  coast, 
visiting  areas  of  unique  vegetation 
along  the  way. 

"You  never  know  what  students 
will  think  is  significant,"  said  Dr. 
Ramseur.  They  were  excited  about 
an  oriental  yellow  poplar  growing 
in  the  arboretum  in  Chapel  Hill — 
this  is  significant  in  plant  geo- 
graphy. They  were  also  interested 
at  seeing  bear  oak,  which  occurs 
only  in  a  few  places  in  North 
Carolina. " 

The  group  studied  plant  com- 
munities on  a ''transect  from  the 
Atlantic  Ocean  to  the  Cumberland 
Plateau,  visiting  Kings  Mountain, 
Hanging  Rock,  the  Yadkin  River 
floodplain,  granite  outcrops,  sand 
dunes,  Roan  Mountain,  Mount 
Mitchell  and  the  Balsams. 

Students  participating  were 
William  Todd  Bender,  Beth  Candler, 
Jeri  Lynn  Gibson,  James  P.  Groton, 
and  Elizabeth  McClatchy. 

Oxford  Studies 

Twenty-six  Sewanee  students  parti- 
cipated this  summer  in  the  British 
Studies  at  Oxford  program,  spon- 
sored by  the  Southern  College  Uni- 
versity Union. 

Joseph  D.  Cushman,  professor 
of  history,  and  John  V.  Reishman, 
associate  professor  of  English,  led 
the  Sewanee  contingent  and  parti- 
cipated in  the  six-weeks  program 
that  included  lectures  by  outstand- 
ing British  scholars  and  administra- 
tors. 

The  program  covered  the  Vic- 
torian and  Edwardian  period  of 
English  history  and  culture. 

Action  at  Bairnwick 

Bairnwick,  the  School  of  The- 
ology's conference  and  retreat  cen- 
ter, has  experienced  a  gentle  flow 
of  guests  all  summer  and  has  sched- 
uled several  conferences  for  the  fall. 

The  Alabama  Training  Net- 
work held  a  Design  Skills  workshop 
August  28-September  2  to  help 
those  who  plan  and  conduct  meet- 
ings, classes,  conferences,  and  other 
learning  events.  They  will  have  a 
Consultation  Skills  workshop  the 
week  of  November  13-18.  Its  flyer 
states,  -  "Many  institutions  in  our 
society  are  moving  toward  a  new 
style  of  working  with  people:  from 
directing  to  enabling."  The  work- 
shop will  help  its  participants 
change  from  "directors"  to  "con- 
sultants." The  Anglican-Lutheran 
Dialogue  is  expected  to  fill  the 
house  September  21-24. 


The  Rev.  Richards  Beekman 
of  San  Francisco,  an  icon  painter 
and  designer  of  church  appoint- 
ments, will  be  artist  in  residence 
during    the    month    of    October. 

Theological  Education  by 
Extension  is  now  reaching  about 
1,000  people  in  26  dioceses  and  is 
expanding  into  Australia. 

French  House  Gets  Dictionary 

A  three-volume  French-Eng- 
lish dictionary  was  presented  to  the 
French  House  by  Tom  Watson,  Uni- 
versity librarian,  at  a  spring  meeting 
of  Le  Cercle  Francais.  "This  is  part 
of  our  program  to  promote  the 
academic  interests  of  students  and 
faculty  inside  and  outside  the  lib- 
rary building,"  Mr.  Watson  said. 
"The  French  House  is  a  significant 
part  of  the  foreign  language  pro- 
gram, and  it  is  trying  to  build  a 
basic  working  library  of  its  own  to 
have  in  the  house." 

Matthews  Wins  Internship 

Kimberly  Sue  Matthews  of 
Lake  Wales,  Florida,  who  was  grad- 
uated cum  laude  from  the  Univer- 
sity this  past  spring  with  a  major  in 
Russian,  has  won  a  student  intern- 
ship with  the  Carnegie  Endowment 
for  International,  Peace.  She  is 
working  this  fall  in  the  Carnegie 
Endowment's  Washington  office 
doing  research  ori  U.S.  foreign  pol- 
icy and  participating  in  group  dis- 
cussions with  journalists,  govern- 
ment officials,  scholars  and  Con- 
gressional staff  members. 

Isotopes  License  Renewed 

The  University  of  the  South 
radioisotopes  laboratory  has  had  its 
license  renewed  for  ten  years  by  the 
Tennessee  Health  Department.  The 
University  is  licensed  to  have  twenty 
different  types  of  radioactive  ma- 
terials, though  Dr.  Frank  Hart,  asso- 
ciate professor  of  physics,  said 
there  may  be  only  six  or  seven  used 
at  the  University  in  any  one  year. 

Rabbi  Falk  at  Sewanee 

Rabbi  Randall  Falk  of  Nashville 
will  again  teach  a  course  this  fall  at 
the  School  of  Theology.  The  course, 
titled  "Judaism  in  Jesus'  Times,"  is 
sponsored  by  the  Jewish  Chautau- 
qua Society,  the  educational  pro- 
ject of  the  National  Federation  of 
Temple  Brotherhoods. 

Rabbi  Falk  completed  his 
Master  of  Hebrew  Letters  degree  at 
Hebrew  Union  College-Jewish  Insti- 
tute of  Religion.  He  also  holds  an 
M.A.  and  a  D.D.  from  Vanderbilt 
University  as  well  as  an  honorary 
D.D.  from  Hebrew  Union. 


The  rabbi  is  spiritual  leader  of 
The  Temple  in  Nashville.  He  is  cur- 
rently serving  as  president  of  the 
Nashville  Council  of  Community 
Services;  president  of  the  Tennessee 
Children's  Home  Society;  vice- 
president  of  the  Nashville  Associa- 
tion of  Rabbis,  Priests  and  Ministers; 
a  member  of  the  Human  Relations 
Commission  of  Metropolitan  Nash- 
ville-Davidson County;  and  a  mem- 
ber of  the  board  of  directors  of  the 
Nashville  chapter  of  the  National 
Conference  of  Christians  and  Jews. 

In  recognition  of  his  achieve- 
ments, he  was  named  "Clergyman 
of  the  Year"  by  the  Nashville  chap- 
ter of  Religious  Heritage  of  Ameri- 
ca. 

Hospital  Auxiliary  Cited 

The  Emerald-Hodgson  Hospi- 
tal Auxiliary  has  been  awarded  a 
special  citation  of  appreciation  for 
its  outstanding  efforts  toward  the 
hospital  building  fund.  The  organ- 
ization pledged  $22,500  and  paid 
off  the  pledge  within  two  years. 


Club  Operated 
by  Committee 

The  Sewanee  Golf  and  Tennis 
Club  is  being  operated  this  fiscal 
year  by  a  specially  formed  Sewanee 
committee  under  contract  from  the 
University. 

The  committee,  headed  by  H. 
Malcolm  Owen,  has  announced  its 
intentions  to  maintain  the  facilities 
in  first  class  condition  and  make  a 
concerted  effort  to  eliminate  the 
deficit  which  attended  the  previous 
operation.  Membership  fees  already 
have  been  increased. 

Other  committee  members  in- 
clude Arthur  Schaefer,  Edward 
Watson,  Horace  Mayes  and  Mrs. 
Sally  Berry  man.  Dale  Mooney  re- 
mains with  the  club  as  the  superin- 
tendent of  the  physical  facilities. 


Ayres  to  Speak 

Robert  M.  Ayres,  Jr.,  the  acting 
Vice-Chancellor,  will  address  the  an- 
nual Founders'  Day  Convocation 
at  noon  October  10  in  All  Saints' 
Chapel. 

All  three  units  of  the  Univer- 
sity will  come  together  for  prayer 
and  singing.  The  Woods  Leadership 
Awards    will    also     be    presented. 


MUSK:  CENTER 
STILL  GROWING 

Another  "best  ever"  Sewanee 
Summer  Music  Center  has  con- 
cluded, with  a  record-breaking  en- 
rollment of  over  200  students— a  far 
cry  from  the  original  thirty  stu- 
dents twenty-one  years  ago. 

An  older  group  this  year 
(some  of  them  have  grown  older 
with  the  Center)  meant  more  play- 
ing experience  and  better  per- 
formances. The  student  concerto 
program  was  praised  by  members  of 
the  audience  as  one  of  the  most  ex- 
citing of  the  season,  but  Martha 
McCrory,  director  of  the  Center 
and  its  chief  press  agent,  assures  us 
that  each  concert  was  a  highlight  in 
itself. 

Violinist  Kishiko  Suzumi  thrill- 
ed audiences  at  each  of  her  drama- 
tic performances,  receiving  standing 
ovations  and  flowers.  The  season 
was  further  brightened  by  guest  ap- 
pearances of  pianists  Julian  Martin 
and  Paul  Tardif,  violinist  Thomas 
Moore,  flutist  Mark  Thomas,  and 
violist  Henry  Barrett.  Guest  con- 
ductors were  Amerigo  Marino  of  the 
Birmingham  Symphony,  prolific 
composer  Crawford  Gates  of  the 
Rockford  Symphony,  Kenneth 
Moore  of  Oberlin  and  Gary  Parks  of 
Jacksonville. 

An  evidence  of  the  Center's 
growth  is  the  fact  that  in  residence 
this  year  were  a  piano  tuner,  a 
woodwind  repairman  and  a  string 
repairman.  


ACADEMY 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


It  Does  Not  Happen  by  Itself' 


The  opening  this  year  of  The  Sewa- 
nee  Academy  is  perhaps  unlike  the 
start  of  any  year  since  it  was  estab- 
lished in  1868. 

With  a  new  headmaster,  a  new 
director  of  admissions  and  a  pledge 
of  renewed  support  from  the  Board 
of  Regents  and  the  acting  vice- 
chancellor,  it  is  as  if  the  Academy 
had  figuratively  taken  a  deep  breath 
and  plunged  into  a  new  era. 

The  Rev.  Donald  Roderick 
(Rod)  Welles,  Jr.,  the  headmaster, 
already  has  begun  guiding  the  Acad- 
emy toward  two  general  goals: 
closer  involvement  with  the  College 
and  The  School  of  Theology  and 
development  of  a  broader  academic 
and  non-academic  curriculum.  The 
faculty  is  doing  a  good  job,  he  said, 
teaching  the  basic  academic  sub- 
jects, and  that  part  of  the  program 
is  extremely  important.  But  there 
is    potential    for    more,    he    adds. 

To  Mr.  Welles  it  is  that  unique 
potential  that  sets  The  Sewanee 
Academy  apart.  Private  boarding 
schools  have  certain  problems  in 
common,  and  Mr.  Welles,  as  he  says, 
came  to  Sewanee  with  his  "eyes 
wide  open."  But  the  Academy  of- 
fered an  opportunity  and  challenge. 

"I  was  nine  years  with  board- 
ing schools,  five  years  in  day 
schools,  and  I  chose  to  return  to  a 
boarding  school,"  he  said. 

Coming  to  the  Academy  also 
provided  him  an  opportunity  to  re- 
turn to  active  ministry  and  find  a 
home  in  a  rural  setting. 

Mr.  Welles  sees  the  decline  in 
enrollment,  a  common  problem 
among  most  boarding  schools,  as 
having  occurred  at  the  Academy  be- 
cause some  great  potential  resources 
were  forgotten.  Problems  have 
arisen  because  of  a  loss  of  identity 
at  the  Academy,  beginning  with  the 
elimination  of  the  military  program 
in  1971  that  resulted  in  a  loss  of 
alumni  support.  Mr.  Welles  also 
recognized  an  isolation  from  the 
College  and  the  surrounding  com- 
munities. 

Nevertheless,  he  says,  the 
"strong,  professional,  academic 
faculty,  deeply  committed  to  the 
Academy"  combined  with  the 
mountain  setting  and  college  en- 
vironment offer  unique  avenues  to 
development  of  a  strong  prepara- 
tory program. 

Mr.  Welles  said  he  plans  to  join 
the  efforts  of  members  of  the 
Alumni  Board,  led  by  Joe  Gardner, 
A'67,  who  have  shown  a  desire  to 
gather  support  from  all  alumni  for 
the  Academy  program. 

"Our  commitment  is  to  the 
whole  student,"  said  Mr.  Welles, 
"to  the  growth  and  development  of 
the  whole  student. 


I   ildffll 
The  Rev.  Roderick  Welles,  headmaster,  and  Edward  Harrison,  C'75,  admissions  director 


"I  define  curriculum  as  every- 
thing happening  at  a  boarding 
school— seven  days  a  week,  twenty- 
four  hours  a  day.  What  goes  on  out- 
side  the  classroom  is  as  important 
as  what  goes  on  inside  the  class- 
room. 

"I  want  to  build  a  non-aca- 
demic program  into  something  that 
is  exciting  and  enjoyable,"  he  said. 

Mr.  Welles  hopes  to  see  expan- 
sion of  the  curriculum  in  the  arts- 
visual  art,  music  and  drama — which 
is  not  now  well  supported  with 
funds,  space  or  time.  In  a  program 
that  would  expand  to  duPont 
Library  on  the  College  campus,  he 
hopes  to  help  build  the  library  re- 
sources of  the  Academy.  Under  the 
growing  program,  Academy  stu- 
dents also  will  have  opportunities 
to  join  non-academic  activities, 
such  as  the  already  popular  rock 
and  mountain  climbing  with  Jim 
Scott,  Academy  chemistry  instruc- 
tor who  is  a  member  of  the  Swiss 
Alpine  Club. 

"We  already  have  an  excellent 
program  in  math,  the  sciences,  Eng- 
lish and  languages,"  he  said.  "But 
I  am  encouraging  the  members  of 
our  faculty  to  get  together  with 
their  opposite  numbers  in  the  Col- 
lege to  collaborate  on  our  programs. 
The  College  faculty  has  shown  a 
willingness  to  do  this,  and  I'm  going 
to  take  them  up  on  it." 

Mr.  Welles  said  he  also  will 
give  stronger  support  to  physical 
education  and  the  instructional 
sports.  The  interscholastic  program, 
he  said,  has  been  handled  well  and 
already  is  strong. 

Maintaining  that  the  Academy 
"cannot  be  all  things  to  all  stu- 
dents," Mr.  Welles  and  Ed  Harrison, 
C'75,  the  new  admissions  director, 
with  help  from  the  faculty,  have 
established  narrower,  more  clearly 
defined  admissions  standards.  There 
has  been  a  problem  in  recent  years 


of  the  faculty  having  to  deal  with 
too  wide  a  range  of  academic  abil- 
ities among  the  students. 

"We  will  not  cheat  a  student 
by  enrolling  him  when  we  know  he 
cannot  do  the  work,"  Mr.  Welles 
said. 

In  addition,  he  said,  the  Aca- 
demy is  not  a  school  for  problem 
students    sent    by    their    families. 

"We  want  students  who  want 
to  come,"  he  said. 

Consequently  Sewanee  Aca- 
demy is  not  full  this  year,  though 
enrollment  is  about  the  same  as 
last  year's  175,  counting  day  stu- 
dents. Nevertheless,  the  Academy 
can  house  200  students  and  com- 
pared to  present  figures,  add  an 
almost  unlimited  number  of  day 
students. 

The  tuition  for  day  students 
was  lowered  in  July  from  $2,250  a 
year  to  $1,450  in  a  move  to  in- 
crease enrollment  from  the  sur- 
rounding communities. 

"We  would  like  to  have  a 
larger  candidate  pool  than  we  have. 
We  also  would  like  to  have  more 
girls  in  the  candidate  pool  and  more 
ninth  and  tenth  graders,"  he  said. 

Mr.  Welles  does  not  delude 
himself. 

"Sewanee  Academy  has  some 
real  strengths.  But  we  have  to  work 
with  the  strengths  and  work  very 
hard,"  he  said.  "It  does  not  happen 
by  itself." 

Mr.  Welles  comes  to  Sewanee 
from  Locust  Valley,  New  York 
where  he  has  been  director  since 
1972  of  the  Upper  School  at  the 
Portledge  School.  The  Portledge 
School  is  a  eollege  preparatory 
school  emphasizing  individualized 
instruction  and  independent  study. 

A  native  of  Wilmington,  Del- 
aware, Mr.  Welles  was  graduated 
from    Hotchkiss   School   and   Yale 


University  and  earned  his  M.  Div. 
Degree  from  the  Episcopal  Theo- 
logical school  in  Cambridge, 
Massachusetts. 

He  has  served  in  a  variety  of 
positions  with  the  church,  private 
schools  and  foundations. 


Harrison 

Heads  Admissions 

Edward  H.  Harrison,  Jr.,  C'75,  has 
been  appointed  director  of  admis- 
sions for  The  Sewanee  Academy, 
replacing  Grant  LeRoux,  who  re- 
signed to  enter  theological  seminary. 

Mr.  Harrison  will  continue 
in  his  position  as  assistant  dir- 
ector of  admissions  for  the 
University's  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences.  He  has  been  con- 
centrating since  July  on  ad- 
missions work  for  the  Academy 
but  will  combine  emphasis  on 
both  divisions  as  he  travels  for 
the  University  through  the 
academic  year. 

Optimistic  about  the  potential 
at  the  Academy,  Mr.  Harrison 
said  he  sees  the  school  emerging 
as  a  well-defined  preparatory  school 
in  a  civilian  context,  with  a  military 
heritage." 

Along  with  the  new  headmaster, 
he  favors  a  closer  identity  of  the 
Academy  with  the  College.  That 
emphasis  is  clearly  consistent  with 
his  combined  admissions  work  and 
his     personal     collegiate     bearing. 

While  a  student  at  the  Uni- 
versity, Mr.  Harrison  was  a  member 
of  the  Order  of  Gownsmen,  assis- 
tant volunteer  fire  chief  and  presi- 
dent of  his  fraternity,  Phi  Delta 
Theta.  He  is  the  son  of  the  Rev.  and 
Mrs.  Edward  Harrison,  Sr.  of  Pensa- 
cola  and  is  married  to  a  1977  Se- 
wanee graduate,  the  former  Teresa 
Sanderson. 


SEPTEMBER  1977 


One  of  the  most  enthusiastic  participants  in  the  Academy's  spring  Field  Day  was 
Leland  Kennerly.  With  him  are  Ron  Greiser  and  Ken  Daniels. 

COOK'S  CHOICE  OF  ACADEMY  NEWS 


Because  of  the  Sewanee  Aca- 
demy's strong  drama  club,  The 
Academy  Players,  seventeen  stu- 
dents have  qualified  for  charter 
membership  in  the  International 
Thespian  Society,  an  organization 
that  promotes  theater  in  secondary 
schools  around  the  world. 

Under  the  direction  of  Frank 
Thomas,  Jr.,  students  explore  the 
fields  of  make-up,  direction  and 
stage  management,  as  well  as  acting. 
Max  Cornelius  guides  students  in 
the  intricacies  of  lighting  and  sound 
effects  for  the  two  full-length  pro- 
ductions  that   are   given   annually. 

From  the  class  of  1977  stu- 
dents who  have  qualified  for  charter 
membership  are  Bill  Downs  of 
Little  Rock,  Arkansas;  Tom  Flood 
of  Louisville,  Kentucky;  Fletcher 
Thompson  of  Mobile,  Alabama; 
Eban  Goodstein,  Kathryn  Ramseur 
and  Anne  Cross,  of  Sewanee;  Suzy 
Boggild  of  South  Pittsburg,  Tennes- 
see; Kathy  Fox  of  Columbia,  South 
Carolina;  Debbie  Chadwick  of 
Chattanooga,  Betsy  Goodwin  of 
Greenville,  Mississippi;  Richard 
Fender  of  Huntsville,  Alabama; 
Andy  Hunter  of  Guntersville,  Ala- 
bama; and  Anita  Goss  of  Crossville, 
Tennessee.  • 

Members  from  the  class  of 
1976  are  Robert  Ellis,  New  Orleans, 
Louisiana;  Clyde  Westrom,  Monroe, 
Louisiana;  David  Henton,  Lubbock, 
Texas;  and  Deirdre  Mclntyre,  Ver- 
non, Texas. 

As  a  result  of  their  awakened 
interest  in  drama,  two  of  our  '73 
graduates  have  pursued  theater  in 
college.  Jonathan  Stephens  and 
Anne  Camp  have  been  with  Cla- 
rence Brown  Productions  on  the 
University  of  Tennessee,  Knoxville 
campus  doing  technical  theater  and 
stagecraft.  Currently,  Jonathan  is  in 
Knoxville    working    on   the   Mary 


Martin-Anthony  Quayle  production, 
Do  You  Turn  Somersaults?  which  is 
due  to  have  its  pre-Broadway  run  at 
the  Kennedy  Center  in  Washington 
beginning  August  18. 

Summer  Academy  Campus 

The  delicate  notes  of  a  violin 
solo  replaced  the  throb  of  country 
rock  in  Gorgas  dormitory  this  sum- 
mer. Dr.  and  Mrs.  James  Marable, 
violin-cello  team  from  Knoxville, 
taught  and  chaperoned  32  pre- 
teenaged  youngsters  in  a  stringed 
instrument  camp.  Barbara  Marable, 
whom   I  found  in  the  hallway  of 


Gorgas,  violin  under  chin,  had  no- 
thing but  praise  for  the  facilities 
and  for  Sewanee  Academy. 

"Marvelous,"  she  said. 

Another  summer  migration  oc- 
curred in  July  when  the  Chatta- 
nooga Boys'  Choir  came  to  rehearse 
Christmas  music  and  to  study  music 
theory  for  a  week.  Tennessee 
Avenue  dwellers  awakened  to  their 
singing  as  the  boys  walked  to  break- 
fast. 

The  sound  of  music  has  faded 
away,  as  I  write,  replaced  by  the 
crisp  sound  of  a  key  fitting  into  a 
lock  to  open  a  dormitory  door.  It's 
August  and  students  will  soon  ar- 
rive. 


'77  Footnofe: 

Where  Grads  Are  Now 


England  Named 
Associate  Dean 

Edward  V.  England,  C'72,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  English  faculty  at  the 
Academy  for  the  past  four  and  a 
half  years,  has  been  named  asso- 
ciate dean  of  students.  He  succeeds

squad  to  four  victories  his  first 
year.  He  spent  this  past  summer 
working  on  his  master's  degree  at 
Middlebury    College,    Connecticut.

Impressions  from 
THE  ALUMNI 
SUMMER  COLLEGE 

by  Edith  Whitesell,  SC'77 


Learning  at  the 
Alumni  Summer 
College  ranged  from 
computer  program- 
ming to  kayak 
rolling. 


I  am  an  instant  alumna.  I  achieved 
that  status  not  by  twenty  years  of 
working  on  the  alumni  magazine, 
pondering  alumni  names  in  various 
capacities,  baking  cookies  for  them 
on  their  occasionally  rocky  road 
toward  becoming  alumni  or  noting 
with  gratitude  their  subsequent 
contributions  to  alma  mater,  but  by 
being  a  full-fledged,  though  time- 
truncated,  participant  in  the 
Alumni  Summer  College. 

I  only  had  two  days,  but  full 
attendance  has  been  my  ambition 
since  the  College's  inception.  Along 
with  the  Sewanee  Summer  Music 
Center  and  wild  blueberries  in  the 
same  season  it  dangled  the  richest 
rewards  I  knew  of  for  being  in  Se- 
wanee at  a  certain  time.  Plus,  of 
course,  all  the  built-in  dividends 
that  we  who  have  been  privileged 
to  live  here  have  never  been  stupid 
enough  to  take  for  granted.  Space 
and  trees  and  heights,  the  young 
to  look  at  and  the  old  to  listen  to, 
the  simple  life  in  a  daily  rub  with 
complex  thought. 

The  first  Summer  College  ses- 
sion did  it,  and  the  others  sustained 
it.  Made  us— no,  me,  since  I  am  no 
longer  the  editor — feel  like  an 
alumna.  First  off,  it  was  listening 
to  Gilbert  Gilchrist  in  his  primary 
capacity  as  a  teacher  and  under- 
standing first-hand  the  esteem  in 
which  alumni  have  held  him.  He 
talked  about  political  corruption, 
and  his  genial  approach,  his  smooth 
hard  invitation  to  look  at  what 
corruption  is  made  of,  sheared 
away  eant.  (What  is  corruption  and 
what  is  "honest  graft"?  If  a  senator 
calls  the  IRS  to  ask  it  not  to  press 
the  audit  of  one  of  his  campaign 
Workers,  is  that  corruption?  Is  it 
'he  use  of  public  office  for  private 
Sain  at  the  expense  of  the  public 
wterest?  Whose  idea  of  the  public 
'nterest  is  to  prevail?  Was  Nixon 


corrupt?)  Everybody  got  in  the  act 
and  it  was  a  lively  act.  I  was  re- 
called to  the  heady  days  when 
college  first  came  into  freshman 
view  and  the  stale  dogma  of  the 
high  school  textbooks  gave  way  to 
the  most  searching  intelligences  in 
our  society  looking  at  things  as 
they  are. 

The  big  difference  was  that 
this  time  around  the  lively,  season- 
ed intelligences  included  those  of 
the  students  and  each  session  ended 
in  a  rocket  burst  of  points  of  view 
lighting  the  way  to  future  explora- 
tion. In  the  relatively  small  group 
were  a  lawyer,  two  physicians,  a 
chemical  engineer,  a  theologian,  a 
retired  Air  Force  officer.  The  last- 
mentioned  had  had  no  previous 
experience  of  Sewanee  at  all  but 
he,  like  me,  was  an  instant  alumnus. 
Unlike  me,  who  had  wielded  a 
reporter's  pencil  mostly  in  silence 
all  these  years  and  could  not  change 
completely,  he  brought  a  new  voice 
into  each  discussion. 

The  other  Alumni  College  fac- 
ulty members  attending  all  sessions 
jogged  their  colleagues,  too,  and 
they  did  not  hesitate  in  matters 
outside  their  disciplines  but  within 
their  interests  to  become  participat- 
ing students.  When  Robert  Cassidy 
of  the  department  of  religion  intro- 
duced varying  moralities  on  abor- 
tion, Scott  Bates,  French  professor 
who  was  to  speak  on  film,  brought 
up  some  hard  questions  on  the 
dilemma  in  India  and  the  state's 
interference  with  individual  deter- 
mination in  what  it  considered 
the   long-term   interest   of  society. 

Another  variant  from  the  under- 
graduate experience  was  comfort. 
Lectures  and  discussions— often 
interwoven — were  held  in  the  main 
lounge  of  the  Bishop's  Common. 
Easy    sitting,   cool   air,   indulgence 


for  the  eye  in  Maury  McGee's  decor 
which  makes  of  the  lounge  a  large 
and  lovely  living  room.  I,  for  one, 
am  ready  to  accept  some  compen- 
sations for  age  and  leave  the  rigors 
of  Walsh  classrooms  to  the  young. 

We  got  some  of  that,  though, 
too,  when  the  group  repaired  to  a 
classroom  in  Woods  Labs  where 
there  was  a  computer  terminal  for 
Marcia  Clarkson's  introduction  to 
that  pervasive  incursion  in  our 
lives.  She  started  us  off  with  a 
questionnaire  that  showed  us, 
young  as  the  formidable  instrument 
is,  we  had  had  time  to  pluck  a 
bunch  of  misconceptions  about  it 
from  the  common  "knowledge." 
Did  you  know  that  the  cost  of 
computers  had  gone  down  from 
millions  in  their  beginnings  to, 
currently,  $20  for  a  basic  compo- 
nent? That  there  are  hundreds  of 
computer  languages?  Suzanne 
Tomlinson  played  dirty  pool  by 
getting  all  the  questions  right— she 
is  the  chemical  engineer. 

Mrs.  Clarkson  went  all-out  to 
ease  the  formidability  of  the  instru- 
ment by  insisting  that  everyone  at 
least  touch  it.  She  put  on  a  game 
program,  which  she  said  had  sup- 
planted bridge  as  the  Number  One 
student  means  to  avoid  study. 
Marcia  having  answered  the  ma- 
chine's question  by  telling  it  that 
our  team  was  to  be  called  the 
"Tigers"  and  its,  the  "Turkeys," 
it  printed  out  on  the  terminal 
screen,  "Fine.  Now  the  Tigers  need 
a  quarterback  (that's  you,  son)." 
■Inevitably  there  was  comment  on 
the  computer's  male  chauvinism, 
it  not  having  anticipated  the 
instructor  to  be  a  lissome  young 
dark-eyed  female. 

And  then,  back  in  the  lounge, 
Harold  Goldberg  in  one  brief  lec- 
ture not  only  covered  with  an 
appearance  of  ease  the  whole  his- 
tory of  the  rise  of  communism  in 
China  but  managed  to  make  it 
graphic  and  gripping.  His  masterly 
presentation  answered  an  unex- 
pressed question  of  old-timers,  "Do 
they  make  professors  like  they  used 
to?"  Comparisons,  as  Dogberry 
said,  are  odorous,  but  we  venture 
that  none  of  the  fondly  recalled 
giants  of  early  days  was  more 
skilled  in  the  professor's  art  than 
Dr.  Goldberg,  now  entering  his 
fourth  year  in  the  College's  history 
department. 

An  "I  was  there"  sense  came 
into    the    discussion    when    John 


27 

Franklin,  the  lawyer,  confirmed 
Nationalist  foot-dragging  in  World 
War  II  expounded  by  the  lecturer 
and  the  Communist  armies'  readi- 
ness to  help  downed  Americans, 
from  his  own  Air  Force  experience 
in  that  theater.  He  also  shared,  with 
sadness,  a  current  article  on  the 
Communist  rigidity  once  in  power, 
with  which  Dr.  Goldberg  expressed 
agreement. 

Another  newcomer  to  the  fac- 
ulty displayed  with  just  pride  was 
Tom  Watson,  University  librarian. 
He  began  his  rundown  of  censor- 
ship by  explaining  that  director  Dr. 
Edwin  Stirling  had  asked  him  to 
talk  about  something  concerning 
libraries,  but  not  anything  dull. 
Mr.  Watson  could  not  be  dull  if 
he  tried,  for  he  is  one  of  the  happy 
few  who  know  that  libraries  are 
the  most  exciting  spots  on  earth. 

All  of  this  spilled  over  not  only 
into  the  scheduled  discussions  but 
through  lunch  at  Gailor  (would  you 
believe  a  salad  bar  now?)  and,  we 
dare  say,  far  into  the  night  for 
those  privileged  to  be  staying  in 
Malon  Courts  dormitory  together. 
I  wonder  what  they  talked  about 
on  the  hikes? 

The  faculty  lunched  with  the 
students  each  day.  Confirmed  was 
the  Sewanee  Siren's'  selection  of 
quotes    on    the    Alumni    College: 


One    conversation    with    a  wise   man   is 

better  than   ten  years'  study  of  books. 

—Chinese  Proverb 

Wise,  cultivated  genial  conversation  is  the 
last  flower  of  civilization. 

—Emerson,  "Woman" 

Conversation     is     the     laboratory     and 
workshop  of  the  student. 

—Emerson,  "Society  and  Solitude" 

Next  year  I'm  going  to  attend  the 
whole  thing  or  bust. 


Seminars: 
Summer  Refresher 

It  is  time  to  make  plans  for  the 
1978  Sewanee  Summer  Seminars 
open  to  all  alumni  and  friends  of 
the    University    next    July    9-15. 

Edwin  Stirling,  seminars  di- 
rector, said  the  name  has  been 
changed  from  Alumni  College  to 
emphasize  that  non-alumni  also 
may  attend.  He  noted  that  the 
seminars  provide  an  opportunity 
for  old  friends  and  alumni  to  meet 
for  a  week  in  Sewanee. 

Morning  lectures  and  seminars 
will  cover  contemporary  interests 
in  literature,  biology,  history,  civil 
liberties,  Latin  American  politics 
and  music.  The  faculty  is  being 
selected. 

Afternoons  will  be  relatively 
free  for  reading,  golf,  tennis,  or- 
ganized hikes  or  simply  personal  re- 
flection. 

Sewanee  Summer  Music  Cen- 
ter also  will  be  under  way  and  is  a 
major  attraction. 

The  cost  is  $210  per  parti- 
cipant, $130  for  a  non-participant, 
such  as  a  child,  and  $85  for  tuition 
only.  More  information  may  be  ob- 
tained by  writing  Dr.  Stirling  at  the 
University. 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


COLLEGE  SPORTS 


Football 

Shirley  Majors  has  entered  his 
twenty-first  grid  season  as  Tiger 
head  coach  on  a  down  (and  slightly 
sour)  note.  Nineteen  lettermen  are 
gone  from  last  year's  squad  that 
finished  5-4,  and  not  many  seniors 
are    back    to    take    their    places. 

Approaching  the  opener  with 
Hampden-Sydney  September  17,  he 
and  the  Sewanee  staff  were  faced 
with  getting  twenty  to  twenty-five 
freshmen  ready  for  the  trenches. 
That  violates  certain  Majors  prin- 
ciples. 

"I  don't  like  it,"  said  Coach 
Majors,  always  careful  with  a 
player's  confidence.  "But  we've 
got  to  be  there  for  the  opening 
kickoff,     and     we'll     be     there." 

There  are  bright  spots,  thank 
Heaven.  Grayson  Hall  (205),  a 
Fort  Payne,  Alabama  junior,  is  back 
at  linebacker  and  will  also  play  full- 
back. (Playing  both  offense  and  de- 
fense is  taken  in  stride  at  Sewanee.) 

Kelley  Swift  (215),  a  Nashville 
junior,  helps  anchor  the  offensive 
line  at  tackle.  Still  another  junior 
starter  is  Nino  Austin  of  Tampa, 
who  lacked  only  two  pass  recep- 
tions to  break  a  single-season  school 
record  when  he  was  hurt  against 
Principia  last  season. 

The  seniors  include  Barry  Ray 
(200)  of  Chattanooga,  who  may  be 
moved  from  running  back  to  the 
offensive  line  because  of  his  size 
and  blocking  ability;  Burney 
Durham  of  Gallatin,  Tennessee,  an 
aggressive  defensive  end,  and  Allen 
Ehmling  of  Hendersonville,  who  has 
started  at  comerback  for  two  years. 

Still  other  top  prospects  include 
juniors  David  Evans  of  the  Canal 
Zone,  a  cornerback,  and  Jimmy 
Spears  of  Winter  Garden,  Florida,  a 
running  back  and  punter;  a  pair 
of  sophomore  defensive  linemen, 
Scott  Anderson  of  Columbus,  Ohio 
and  Mike  Marchetti  of  Nashville; 
a  sophomore  offensive  lineman, 
John  Saclarides  of  Tarpon  Springs, 
Florida;  and  Joe  Shults  of  Decatur, 
Texas,  who  stepped  in  to  replace 
Austin  ably  at  the  end  of  last  year. 

The  quarterback  to  replace 
graduated  Ron  Swymer?  With  the 
start  of  practice,  Coach  Majors 
knew  only  it  would  be  one  of  four 
freshmen. 

Nevertheless,  sage  Sewanee  fans 
don't  count  the  Tigers  out  too  early. 
Underdogs  much  of  the  time  last 
season,  Sewanee  still  won  the 
College  Athletic  Conference  Champ- 
ionship and  finished  with  a  winning 
season  by  defeating  Washington 
University  26-15  in  the  final  game. 

Cross  Country 

Coach  Dennis  Meeks  is  largely  re- 
building a  cross  country  squad  that 
will    center   around  junior   Felton 


About  Half  Of  Sewanee's  600 
College  Men  Will  Try  Out  For 
Varsity  Teams  This  Year 


Wright  of  Tallahassee,  Florida. 
Coach  Meeks  said  Wright  should  be 
one  of  the  top  runners  in  the  con- 
ference this  year. 

After  early  tentative  engage- 
ments, Sewanee  will  get  to  the  meat 
of  the  schedule— the  Bryan  College 
Invitational,  October  1;  Centre 
College,  October  7;  Southwestern, 
October  15,  and  Vanderbilt,  Octo- 
ber 22,  with  perhaps  one  or  two 
other  meets  to  be  added. 

The  Tennessee  Intercollegiate 
Athletic  Conference  Championships 
will  be  October  29,  in  Nashville ;  the 
College  Athletic  Conference  Cham- 
pionships will  be  at  Southwestern 
November  5— then  the  NCAA,  No- 
vember 12. 

Soccer 

About  sixty  candidates  were  on 
hand  for  the  opening  of  soccer 
practice  in  August,  and  with  seven- 
teen lettermen  returning,  the  Tigers 
are  expected  to  see  an  improvement 
on  last  season's  2-9-1  record. 
A  seventeen-  or  eighteen-  match 
schedule  hopefully  will  close  with  a 
victory  in  the  Tennessee  Intercol- 
legiate Soccer  Association  Tourna- 
ment October  25-29.  Peter  Walter, 
C'67,      returns     as     head     coach. 

Basketball 

The  Sewanee  cagers  will  open  the 
new  season  at  home  November  29, 
against  Trevecca. 

Coach  Don  Millington  is  wel- 
coming back  all  five  starters  from 
last  year's  largely  inexperienced 
squad  that  closed  with  a  9-15 
record.  Five  of  the  losses  were  by 
five  points  or  less. 

A  top  returnee  is  Harry  Cash, 
a  senior  center  from  Chattanooga, 
who  was  named  to  the  all-district 
team  last  year  and  was  one  of 
sixty-one  Division  III  All-America 
candidates.

Field  Hockey 

Sewanee's  field  hockey  team  is 
after  a  second  consecutive  unde- 
feated regular  season  and  another 
regional  tournament  berth  this  fall. 
Dr.  Kevin  Green's  charges 
pulled  off  victories  last  year  over 
such  teams  as  Vanderbilt,  Tennes- 
see, Centre  College,  Transylvania 
and  Agnes  Scott.  The  schedule 
looks  much  the  same  this  year, 
concluding  with  a  triangular  match 
with  UT  and  Vanderbilt  October  28- 
29  in  Sewanee  before  the  regional. 

Tennis 

The  women's  tennis  squad  is  play- 
ing a  four-match  fall  schedule.  Pam 
Lampley,  women's  athletic  director 
and  coach,  is  putting  much  of  her 
hopes  for  an  undefeated  season  on 
Lynn  Jones  of  Birmingham  and 
Amy  St.  John  of  Mobile. 

Volleyball 

Women's  volleyball  is  into  its 
fourth  season  as  a  varsity  sport  at 
Sewanee.  And  Laurence  Alvarez, 
part-time  coach  and  quick-change 
artist  from  his  planning  and  budget- 
ing office,  expects  to  have  several 
girls  back  who  lettered  last  year. 
Interest  in  volleyball  is  grow- 
ing at  Sewanee,  he  says.  That  may 
mean  more  victories  by  state  tour- 
nament action  November  11-12  at 
Milligan  College. 


More  Basketball 

The  women's  basketball  team  will 

play  a  ten  or  twelve-game  schedule, 

beginning   with   a  trip   to   Temple 

November  21.  Pam  Lampley  is  the 

coach. 

Horseback  Riding 

Once  again  the  University 
Equestrian  Center  is  offering  be- 
ginner, intermediate  and  advanced- 
level  instruction  in  riding  skills  to 
the  community,  with  physical  ed- 
ucation credit  possible  for  at  least 
two  lessons  a  week. 

Special  courses  include  dres- 
sage, stadium  jumping  and  cross- 
country jumping  under  John  Tan- 
sey,  director  of  the  center,  and 
Mrs.  Jean  Raulston.  Mrs.  Raulston 
pointed  out  that  riders  have  the 
benefit  of  miles  of  well-maintained 
trails  through  the  10,000-acre  Uni- 
versity reservation. 

The  center  attracted  30  young- 
sters, from  nine  to  25  years  old,  to 
its    recent    summer    riding    camp. 

Students  this  semester  will  be 
participating  in  shows,  fox  hunts, 
combined  training  events  and  en- 
durance rides.  Clinics  with  guest 
instructors  also  are  available  each 
semester. 


Pam  Lampley,  Marian  England 


England  Is  Assistant  Director,  Coach 


Marian  England,  C'74,  has  been 
named  Sewanee's  assistant  director 
of  women's  athletics,  joining  Pam 
Lampley,  the  new  director,  as  the 
second  full-time  women's  varsity 
coach  in  the  Athletic  Department. 
Mrs.  England  will  coach  gym- 
nastics and  synchronized  swimming. 
She  also  will  continue  to  teach 
classical  ballet,  as  she  has  done 
since  she  was  a  University  senior. 
But,  beginning  this  year,  ballet 
will  be  an  official  part  of  the  phy- 
sical education  program  and  may  be 


taken  by  students  without  the  extra 
tuition  charge  of  $60. 

Her  background  in  ballet  in- 
cludes study  with  the  Foster  School 
of  Dance,  Columbia,  South  Caro- 
lina for  ten  years.  In  addition  to 
participating  in  several  summer 
workshops,  she  performed  with  the 
Carolina  Ballet  Company  for  five 
years. 

Mrs.  England  was  also  a  mem- 
ber of  the  University's  first  women's 
tennis  team. 


SEPTEMBER  1977 


ALUMNI  AFFAIRS 


Cap  and  (jown 


McGee  Field  Dedication 
Set  for  Homecoming 


Sewanee  will  pay  a  memorial  trib- 
ute to  one  of  its  most  exuberant 
alumni  and  supporters  ever  with  the 
dedication  of  the  Benjamin 
Humphreys  McGee  Field  at  Home- 
coming October  22. 

The  dedication  and  renaming  of 
old  Hardee  Field  will  be  held  during 
halftime  of  the  Se wanee-Washington 
&  Lee  football  game,  exactly  20 
years  after  the  then  new  stadium 
was  dedicated  to  the  memory  of 
Eugene  O.  Harris,  Jr.  Washington  & 
Lee  also  was  the  opponent  at  the 
stadium  dedication  in  1957. 

In  conjunction  with  the  field 
dedication,  a  $7,200  fund-raising 
campaign  has  begun  to  help  cover 
the  cost  of  improvements  to  the 
field  and  stadium  facilities. 

Ug  McGee,  as  he  was  known 
affectionately  to  his  many  friends, 
was  killed  August  1,  1975  in  an 
auto  crash  only  a  block  from  his 
home  in  Leland,  Mississippi.  His 
death  interrupted  a  career  of  dedi- 
cated support  for  his  alma  mater. 
He  was  a  graduate  of  both  the 
Academy,  '42,  and  the  College,  '49. 

At  the  time  of  his  death,  Ug 
McGee  was  president  of  the  Asso- 
ciated Alumni  and  was  a  University 
trustee.  He  had  just  completed  a 
term  on  the  board  of  regents.  And 
his  great  value  to  the  University  as 
a  campaign  worker  over  the  years 
was  incalculable. 

"There  is  no  question  he  was 
among  the  most  loyal  and  dedi- 
cated Sewanee  men  of  all  time," 
wrote  John  Bratton,  alumni  dir- 
ector,  shortly   after  the  accident. 


Although  born  in  Greenville, 
Mississippi  in  1925,  Ug  McGee  re- 
sided with  his  family  in  Sewanee 
through  much  of  his  youth.  At  the 
University,  he  was  a  two-year  letter- 
man  in  football,  was  a  member  of 
Phi  Delta  Theta  and  a  member  of 
the  Order  of  Gownsmen.  He  served 
as  a  Marine  staff  sergeant  during 
World  War  II  and  was  awarded  an 
Air  Medal. 

He  found  time  for  volunteer 
work  for  the  University  despite 
operating  Little  Panther  Plantation 
near  Leland,  where  he  was  a  director 
of  the  Bank  of  Leland  and  was  also 
an  active  member  of  St.  John's 
Episcopal  Church. 

The  idea  for  dedicating  the  field 
to  the  memory  of  Ug  McGee  was 
first  conceived  at  Ug's  graveside  by 
three  of  his  old  friends— John  A. 
Bragg,  A'43,  C'49,  of  Franklin, 
Tennessee;  Catchings  B.  Smith, 
A'42,  of  Jackson,  Mississippi;  and 
Walter  D.  Bryant,  Jr.,  C'49,  Sewa- 
nee athletic  director. 

Later  Mr.  Bragg  wrote  in  a  let- 
ter to  Coach  Bryant:  "As  you, 
Catch,  and  I  said  in  Leland  last 
summer  at  Ug's  funeral,  we  mar- 
veled at  the  fact  that  this  unique 
man  of  Sewanee  had  touched  the 
lives  of  so  many  people  and  had 
been  the  common  denominator  of 
so  many  different  generations  of 
Sewanee  men  and  women.  His 
loyalty  and  dedication  to  his  be- 
loved alma  mater  was  contagious  to 
those  about  him  and  brought  out 
the  best  in  us  all.  If  he  had  a  'parti- 
cular' love  at  Sewanee,  it  was  the 
athletic  program,  and  he  demon- 
strated that  throughout  his  life." 


Sewanee  Club  Activity 
Coastal  Carolina  alumni  gathered 
for  their  annual  affair  at  the  Black- 
lock  House  March  29  in  Charleston 
to  hear  Dr.  Douglas  Paschall  give  an

ment by  the  Pot  Belly  Stokers,

Houston  alumni  and  friends 
had  the  opportunity  to  play  tennis 
before  dinner  at  the  Woodlands  Inn 
on  June  4. 

Stepped-up  activity  has  been 
the  goal  of  Central  South  Carolina's 
president,  Trace  Devanny  III,  C'74, 
who  scheduled  two  events  this  sum- 
mer: Dr.  Robert  Cassidy,  professor

circuit  rider  with  an  unusual  pres- 
entation on  Sewanee,  at  the  Wood-

rain  or  shine"  read  the  invitation

June  26.  John  Peebles,  C'73,  had 
the  idea,  invited  Dr.  Edwin  Stirling

did  with  all  seventy-five  in  attend- 
ance.

C'37,  met  with  George  Archer,

Sally  Baskin's  offer  of  their  home 
as  the  setting  for  an  informal  chat 
on  Sewanee  that  has  become  the 
hallmark  of  College  Dean  Stephen 
Puckette. 

Baton  Rouge  inaugurated  club 
activity  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Edwin  Bowman,  C'51,  with  an 
organizational  party  at  the  home  of 
Bob  Holloway,  C'36,  on  August  11 
featuring  Dr.  Douglas  Paschall  of 
the  English  department  and

Next  day  Dr.  Paschall  appear- 
ed in  New  Orleans  to  share  boiled 
shrimp  and  beer  with  alumni  and 
friends  at  the  home  of  Feild  Gomila, 
C'61. 

Clay  Bailey's  (C'50)  home  was 
the  scene  August  18  of  a  Sewanee 
picnic  in  Nashville  with  a  number 
of  guests  from  the  Mountain  to 
bring  everyone  up  to  date  on  the 
latest  Sewanee  happenings. 

Most  of  the  summer  gather- 
ings had  the  bonus  feature  for 
Sewanee  of  a  recruitment  aid,  as 
current  met  prospective  students 
with  their  parents  in  an  alumni 
sponsored  setting. 


New/Revitalized  Sewanee  Clubs 
In  a  formulated  plan  to  establish 
new  Sewanee  Clubs  and  revitalize 
others,  alumni  director  John 
Bratton  took  to  the  road  to  meet 
with  Sewanee  leaders  in  areas  of 
heavy  concentration  of  alumni  and 
friends.  Organizational  meetings 
already  have  been  held  in  Baton 
Rouge,  New  Orleans,  Knoxville,  the 
Mississippi  Delta,  San  Antonio  and 
Austin. 

Initial  contacts  have  been 
made  to  formulate  plans  towards 
new  clubs  for  Greenville/Spartan- 
burg, Shreveport,  Montgomery, 
Central  Florida,  Lexington,  Mem- 
phis, and  Raleigh/Durham/Chapel 
Hill. 

Notices  of  programs  are  sent 
within  a  fifty-mile  radius  of  the 
major  city.  Anyone  wishing  to 
organize  activity  in  any  area  not 
mentioned  above  or  whose  clubs 
are  not  now  functioning  should 
communicate  with  the  alumni 
director.  Others  desiring  to  partici- 
pate in  regularly  scheduled  func- 
tions should  call  the  local  club  pres- 
ident or  organizational  chairman 
depending  on  the  status  of  the  club.

v  v^  Conference  on  Literature 


All  Saints'  Chapel  decked  for  the  holidays 


Sewanee  will  host  the  Fourth 
Annual  Conference  of  the  Southern 
Comparative  Literature  Association 
February  16-18. 

The  conference  will  draw  to  the 
University  several  noted  personali- 
ties in  literature  and  the  arts. 
Heading  the  program  will  be  Victor 
Brombert,  professor  of  romance 
and  comparative  literature  at  Prince- 
ton University  and  a  well-known 
critic. 

Jacqueline  Schaefer,  Sewanee 
associate  professor  of  French 
and  coordinator  of  this  year's 
conference,  said  she  is  expecting 
approximately  120  persons,  princi- 
pally from  other  Southern  uni- 
versities.   That   number   could 
easily  be  exceeded,  however. 

The  association  has  a  U.S. 
mailing  list  of  more  than  6,000. 
The  conference,  Dr.  Schaefer  said, 
will  focus  on  Sewanee  the  attention 
of  the  nation's  literary  community. 

This  will  be  the  first  year  the 
conference  has  been  held  anywhere 
but  at  the  University  of  Tennessee. 
It  is  a  sign  that  Sewanee  is  leading 
in  this  area  of  study  and  not  just 
following,  Dr.  Schaefer  said.  The 
University  of  the  South  was  an 
original  member  of  the  association, 
and  it  was  the  first  institution  of 
its  size  in  the  South  to  establish  an 
undergraduate  program  in  com- 
parative literature. 

Dr.  Brombert,  whose  visit  to 
Sewanee  will  be  jointly  sponsored 
by  the  duPont  Lecture  Series,  will 
speak   on   "Opening   Signals   in 
Narrative."  Dr.  Brombert  has  estab- 
lished an  international  reputation 
through  his  work  in  nineteenth-  and 
twentieth-century  fiction. 

Another  visitor  of  note  will  be 
Robert  Fitzgerald,  Harvard  pro- 
fessor of  English  and  comparative 
literature  and  noted  translator  of 
Homer  and  Sophocles. 

Also  as  part  of  the  duPont 
Lectures,  Dr.  Fitzgerald  will  give  a 
reading  of  his  poetry  during  his 
visit. 

Coinciding  with  the  conference 
will  be  two  productions  by  Se- 
wanee's  Purple  Masque— Purgatory, 
by  W.  B.  Yeats,  and  a  modem  Noh 
play. 


The  five  major  sections  of  the 
conference    will    be    "Critical 
Approaches  to  Kafka's  K.  Novels," 
"The  Translation  of  Literature," 
"Theory  and  Method  of  East-West 
Literary   Relations,"   "Literature 
and  the  Other  Arts,"  and  "The 
Practice  of  Comparative  Literature." 


Dr.  Lancaster 
Chairs  MDP 


Replacing  Robert  M.   Ayres  as 
chairman  of  the  Million  Dollar 
Program  this  year  is  a  man  who 
may  be  described  as  a  "Mister 
Touchdown"  when  it  comes  to 
getting  jobs  done.  And  on  a  campus 
where  eloquence  is  commonplace, 
his  eloquence  is  famous. 

He  is  Robert  S.   Lancaster, 
professor   of   political    science, 
former  dean  of  the  College,  and 
former  acting  director  of  develop- 
ment. 

Dr.  Lancaster  has  been  at  or 
near  Sewanee  for  so  long  (41  years 
in  vulgar  specifics)  that  there  are 
few  alums  who  would  not  know, 
or  know  of,  this  red-haired  man 
with  the  Cheshire  grin. 

The  list  of  his  accomplishments 
is  lengthy,  but  Mr.  Ayres,  the  acting 
vice-chancellor,  remarked  that  it 
is  Dr.  Lancaster's  acquaintance  with 
Sewanee  alumni  and  friends  and  his 
personal  knowledge  of  the  Uni- 
versity that  make  him  a  natural 
choice  for  chairman. 

Following  his  appointment,  Dr. 
Lancaster  said  these  few  words: 
"Sewanee  now  depends  on  the 
Million  Dollar  Program  for  its  very 
life.  Presently  we  are  in  very 
pressing  financial  straits.  A  liberal 
arts  college  like  ours,  which  does 
not  have  the  benefit  of  government 
funding,    cannot    have    annual 
deficits  and  survive. 

"A  tenth  of  our  budgetary 
needs  must  be  brought  in  by  the

Regents  Consider  Budget  Solutions 


The  University  Board  of  Regents 
has  asked  the  administration  of 
Vice-Chancellor  Robert  M.  Ayres 
to  report  a  balanced  budget  for 
1978-79  by  the  February  regents' 
meeting. 

The  regents  met  at  Sewanee 
October  10-11,  with  budgetary 
problems  a  primary  consideration. 

The  vice-chancellor  said  the 
administration    is    projecting    a 
deficit  for  the  current  year  but  a 
considerably  smaller  one  than  last 
year's  $494,000. 

Oxford  Studies 

Sewanee's  only  modern  link  with 
Oxford  University  will  be  renewed 
once  more  next  summer  when  stu- 
dents and  faculty  participate  in  the 
British  studies  at  Oxford  program. 
Students  may  make  plans  now 
by  notifying  either  Brinley  Rhys, 
professor  of  English,  or  Edward 
King,  associate  professor  of  history, 
who  will  be    participating  in  the 
six- weeks  program.  Six  hours  of 
credit  will  be  offered. 

Study  will  be  concentrated  on 
the  British  mediaeval  period,  with 
well-known  British  experts  lectur- 
ing in  their  respective  fields.  The 
format  includes  morning  lectures 
and  afternoon  seminars,  covering 
religion,  philosophy,  literature,  his- 
tory and  art  of  the  period.  An  ex- 
amination is  given  at  the  end  of  the 
term. 

John  V.  Reishman,  associate 
professor  of  English,  who,  with 
Joseph  D.  Cushman,  led  26  Sewanee 
students  to  Oxford  last  summer, 
said  the  study  of  an  entire  period 
(last  year  it  was  the  Victorian  and 
Edwardian  period)  through  several 
disciplines  in  a  single  package  is  a 
unique  experience. 

"Some  of  our  students  who 
have  seemed  mediocre  do  very  well, 
because  the  material  begins  to  make 
sense  to  them  in  a  more  coherent 
context,"  Dr.  Reishman  said. 

"I  am  amazed  at  the  lecturers," 
he  added.  "They  are  men  and 
women  of  premier  importance  in 
the  academic  and  cultural  life  of 
Britain." 

The  cost  of  the  program  is 
$1,595  for  room,  meals  and  tuition. 
Some  scholarships  are  available. 
The  students  and  visiting  faculty 
will  reside  in  University  College, 
the  oldest  of  the  Oxford  colleges. 

The  program  is  carried  on 
through    the    Southern    College 
Union  in  which  Sewanee  is  one  of 
the  most  active  members,  others 
being  Vanderbilt  and  Southwestern. 


He  said  efforts  to  cut  costs  are 
already  achieving  some  success,  and 
he  indicated  there  may  be  some 
chance  of  balancing  the  budget  this 
year. 

John  W.  Woods,  sitting  as  chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Regents  for 
the  first  time,  said  the  board  was 
asking  for  a  budget  report  in 
February  that  would  include  a 
"reasonable    contingency."    He 
added,  however,  that  the  board 
did  not  want  to  "minimize  the 
difficulty  of  the  task  we  have  asked 
the  administration  to  undertake." 

The  regents  also  discussed  a 
whole  raft  of  University  concerns 
and  met  at  length  with  student 
leaders. 

One  question  concerned  an 
earlier  report  that  as  many  as  50 
per  cent  (more  recently  44  per  cent) 
of  University  students  in  classes 
since  1965  have  been  voluntarily 
leaving  school  before  obtaining  a 
degree. 

Vice-Chancellor  Ayres,  during  a 
press  conference  at  the  end  of  the 
regents'  meeting,  said  that  they 
felt  a  study  should  be  made  of  the 
problem.  But  both  he  and  Mr. 
Woods  said  it  was  important  not  to 
draw  quick  conclusions  before  all 
the  facts  are  known. 

"It  would  be  a  different  sort 
of  problem,"  Mr.  Woods  said,  "if 
the  normal  national  attrition  rate 
were  40  per  cent  rather  than  15 
per  cent,  for  instance." 

Students  also  expressed  concern 
about  a  projected  increase  in 
tuition  of  $710.  Mr.  Ayres  pointed 
out  that  even  with  an  increase, 
tuition  pays  only  about  half  the 
actual  cost  of  education.  Arthur 
M.  Schaefer,  University  provost, 
said  the  increase  would  be  about 
VA  per  cent,  still  in  line  with 
the  percentage  increase  in  educa- 
tional costs. 


Music  Center 
Dates  Set 

The  campus  will  breathe  strains  of 
the  22nd  Sewanee  Summer  Music 
Center  from  June  24  through 
July  30,  next  summer. 

Early    planning    by    Martha 
McCrory,  the  center's  director,  will 
bring  to  the  University  more  than 
200   outstanding   students   from 
more  than  half  the  states  and  several 
foreign  countries. 

The  center  is  nationally  recog- 
nized for  its  outstanding  training 
program  for  instrumentalists  in  the 
fields  of  chamber  music,  orchestra 
repertoire   and   performance.   A 
faculty  of  40  eminent  musicians 
will  be  in  residence.  A  string  camp 
for  younger  musicians  will  be  held 
at  the  Sewanee  Academy. 


Christopher  Mayhew,  recent  duPont  Lecturer 
from  England,  takes  time  during  his  tour 
of  the  campus  to  discuss  with  students  such 
American  newspapers  as  Rolling  Stone  and  the 
Village  Voice. 


V-C  Search 
Progressing 

Bishop  Girault  M.  Jones  of  Sewanee, 
former  chancellor  and  chairman  of 
the  committee  searching  for  a  new 
vice-chancellor,  reports  that  some 
highly  qualified  applicants  are  being 
considered.  Serious  discussions  with 
the  top  candidates  may  begin  in  late 
January. 

In  reporting  to  the  Associated 
Alumni  October  22,  Bishop  Jones 
said:  "Since  I  arrived  this  morning, 
I  received  the  119th  nomination." 

The  committee,  however,  had 
narrowed  the  list  of  prospects  to  12 
or  14,  he  said.  Some  committee 
members  will  first  visit  these  candi- 
dates. Then  those  on  whom  the 
committee  can  agree  will  be  invited 
to  visit  Sewanee. 

Colloquium  Plans 

The     Fifth    Annual    Sewanee 
Mediaeval  Colloquium  will  be  held 
April  13-15. 

This  growing  Sewanee  insti- 
tution will  gather  on  the  mountain 
internationally  known  scholars, 
who  will  lecture  and  lead  panel 
discussion  on  art  and  literature. 
The  Colloquium  is  being  planned 
around  the  theme  "Dante  and 
Dante's  Italy." 

Jacqueline  Schaefer,  Sewanee 
professor  of  French,  said  she  is 
expecting  about  120  visitors  for 
the  three-day  event.

Sewanee  Inn  Renaissance 


Expect  More  than  a  Beach 


People  who  want  to  lie  on  the 
beach  will  go  and  lie  on  the  beach, 
but  for  the  others  Sewanee  is  offer- 
ing a  vacation  with  a  difference 
next  summer. 

Seven  University  faculty  mem- 
bers have  been  lined  up  by  Edwin 
M.  (Ted)  Stirling  for  the  Sewanee 
Summer  Seminars  July  9-15. 

The   seminars   are   open   to 
everyone,  not  only  alumni.  They 
will  leave  free  time  for  reading,  golf, 
tennis,  hikes  or  sight-seeing  on  and 
around  the  Sewanee  campus. 

The  seminars'  faculty  and  topics 
are; 

Charles  T.  Harrison,  a  Brown 
Foundation  Fellow  in  philosophy 
and  a  music  enthusiast,  "In  Praise 
of  C  Major."

political  science,   "Constitutional 
Dimensions    of    Contemporary 
Church-State  Relations  in  the  U.S." 

Joseph  D.  Cushman,  professor 


of  English,  "Poetry  in  the  Post- 
Modern  South." 

Henrietta  Croom,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  biology,  "The  Chimera 
Rears  Its  Ugly  Head :  the  Contro- 
versy over  Recombinant  DNA." 

Gerald  L.  Smith,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  religion,  "From  Darwin  to 
Dallas— Recent  School  Book  Con- 
troversies    and     Contemporary 
Currents  in  American  Religion." 

Jane  A.  Fort,  assistant  professor 
of  Spanish,  "A  General  Discussion 
of  Political  Systems  of  Latin  Amer- 
ican Countries." 

The  cost  is  $210  for  each  par- 
ticipant, $130  for  non-participants 
and  children,  and  $85  for  tuition 
only.  Application  may  be  made  by 
writing  Dr.  Stirling  at  the  Univer- 
sity. 

The  Sewanee  Summer  Music 
Center,  with  its  several  weekend 
concerts  and  daily  practice  sessions, 
will  be  at  its  peak  during  the  seminar 
week. 


The  good  food  and  atmosphere 
once  associated  with  the  Sewanee 
Inn  are  making  a  comeback. 

Once  the  Inn  was  the  place  to 
go  for  Sewanee  folks,  guests,  and 
area  Tennesseans  generally,  but  in 
more  recent  years,  it  had  become 
the  place  not  to  go. 

Spearheading  the  comeback  is 
Emmert  F.  (Mac)  McClellan,  Se- 
wanee director  of  Saga,  the  food 
service  organization  which  has  been 
operating  Gailor  Hall  on  the  College 
campus,  and  Cravens  Hall  at  the 
Academy  for  about  five  years.  Mc- 
Clellan has  been  at  Sewanee  a  year 
and  a  half. 

This  fall  Saga  and  McClellan 
were  also  given  the  contract  to 
operate  the  Bishop's  Common  snack 
bar  and  the  Tiger  Bay  pub,  and  in 
addition,  the  Sewanee  Inn. 

In  negotiating  a  new  contract 
for  the  management  of  the  Inn,  the 
University  had  two  basic  goals:  to 
make  the  Inn  once  again  a  restaurant 
Sewanee  could  be  proud  of  and  to 
eliminate  the  annual  deficits. 

"We  are  trying  to  regain  the 
tradition,"  said  McClellan,  who  has 
a  long  record  of  military  service  and 
restaurant  operation.  "We  are  going 
back  to  linens;  we  are  going  back  to 
buffet  style  food,  and  we  are  work- 
ing to  get  fresh  seafood  on  a  regular 
basis."  A  Friday  evening    Fish-o- 
bord  has  gained  some  quick  popu- 
larity on  the  mountain. 

The  Inn  manager  is  Dennis  Can- 
non, 29,  who  has  experience  in 
"atmosphere"  restaurants.   He  is 
carrying  out  several  changes  in  the 
operation  of  the  Inn,  including 
changes  in  food  preparation.  Mc- 
Clellan and  Cannon  also  are  work- 
ing on  changes  in  the  menu.  Some 
foreign  foods  may  soon  be  available 
on  special  nights.  The  current  con- 
tinental breakfast  will  be  replaced 
with  a  full  breakfast  menu. 


Board  of  Regents  Adds  New  Members 


"If  we  can  get  the  families  in 
Sewanee  to  come  to  the  Inn  once 
a  month  and  some  families  within 
40  miles  of  Sewanee,  we  will  have  a 
financially  profitable  picture,"  Mc- 
Clellan said.  Tourists  and  tour 
groups  would  be  the  gravy. 

Technically,  McClellan  said, 
the  operation  of  the  Inn  is  a 
partnership  between  the  University 
and  Saga.  As  its  part  of  the  bargain, 
the  University  will  be  upgrading  the 
physical  facilities.  Some  repairs  are 
being  made,  and  new  television  sets 
are  being  purchased  for  the  motel 
rooms. 

To  facilitate  improvements,  a 
committee  of  University  people  has 
been  formed.  McClellan  said  he  is 
generally  leery  of  committees,  but 
he  added;  "More  fruit  came  out  of 
that  first  meeting." 

There  are  plans  to  put  the 
lobby  back  into  living-room  shape, 
new  uniforms  are  being  ordered, 
and  enough  purchases  are  being 
made  to  bring  the  silverware  and 
dishes  back  up  to  quality. 

Changes  also  may  be  made  to 
give  students  greater  options.  Mc- 
Clellan said  he  is  working  now  on  a 
plan  to  allow  students  a  "night  on 
the  town"  (at  the  Sewanee  Inn), 
using  their  meal  tickets  perhaps 
once  a  month.  He  pointed  out  that 
some  students  have  already  been 
going  to  the  Inn.  The  reason  can 
only  be,  he  said,  that  they  want  a 
change  of  pace,  a  place  to  eat  with 
atmosphere. 

Then,  in  collaboration  with  the 
golf  and  tennis  committee,  there  is 
talk  of  even  more  fundamental 
changes— moving  the  club's  snack 
bar  several  hundred  feet  across  the 
lawn  to  the  back  of  the  Inn  and  re- 
arranging the  golf  course  so  golfers 
will  pass  the  Inn  to  get  to  the  first 
tee.  McClellan  noted  that  the  golf 
and  tennis  club  is  already  moving 
into  the  black  since  its  takeover  by 
the  committee,  but  with  the  buying 
power  of  Saga  and  the  personnel 
flexibility  of  the  Inn,  the  situation 
could  be  improved  even  more. 


When  the  regents  met  in  October, 
five  of  their  number  were  sitting 
with  the  board  for  the  first  time. 

They  were  the  Rev.  E.  Dudley 
Colhoun,  Jr.,  C'50;  Dr.  M.  Keith 
Cox,  C'61;  the  Rt.  Rev.  David  B. 
Reed,  H  72;  Albert  Roberts  III, 
C'50,  and  the  Rt.  Rev.  Furman  C. 
Stough,  C'51,  T'55,  H'71. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Colhoun  is 
rector  of  St.  Paul's  Church  in 
Winston-Salem,    North    Carolina. 
A  native  of  Roanoke,  Virginia, 
he  was  graduated  from  the  Virginia 
Theological  Seminary  after  com- 
pleting his  undergraduate  work  at 
Sewanee.  He  has  served  churches 
in  Virginia,  Georgia  and  North 
Carolina  and  has  a  son  attending 
the  University. 


Dr.  Cox,  a  resident  of  Dallas, 
received  his  D.D.S.  degree  from 
Baylor    University    School    of 
Dentistry  in  1965  and  is  in  private 
practice. 

Bishop  Reed,  a  resident  .of 
Louisville,  Kentucky,  was  educated 
at  Harvard  and  the  Virginia  Theo- 
logical Seminary.  His  career  as  a 
missionary  priest  included  work  in 
Costa   Rica,   the   Canal    Zone, 
Columbia,  and  among  American 
Indians  in  South  Dakota.  He  is 
bishop  of  the  missionary  Diocese  of 
Kentucky.  The  University  of  the 
South  has  awarded  him  its  honorary 
Doctor  of  Divinity  Degree. 

Mr.  Roberts,  an  investment 
banker  in  Tampa,  is  an  officer  with 
Smith  Barney,  Harris  Upham  and 


Company.  He  has  served  the 
University  of  the  South  as  a  trustee 
and  alumni  officer,  and  is  the 
newly-elected  president  of  the 
Associated  Alumni.  He  has  a  son 
and  daughter  attending  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Bishop  Stough,  the  bishop  of 
the  Diocese  of  Alabama,  has  served 
churches  in  Childersburg,  Sylacauga 
and  Sheffield,  Alabama,  and  most 
recently  was  rector  of  St.  John's 
Church  in  Decatur.  He  spent  two 
years  in  Okinawa  as  rector  of  All 
Souls'  Church  in  Naha.  He  is  co- 
editor  of  Realities  and  Visions:  The 
Church's  Mission  Today,  published 
by  Seabury  Press.

THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


A  Year  of  Russian  Agriculture — 

From  Samarkand  to  Khabarovsk 


Dr.  Kenneth  Gray,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  economics,  spent  the 
1976-77    school   year   studying 
Russian   agriculture  in   a   U.S.- 
U.S.S.R.  scholarly  exchange  pro- 
gram. He  was  one  of  two  econo- 
mists among  46  American  parti- 
cipants in  the  exchange  for  grad- 
uate students  and  young  faculty 
with  the  Soviet  Ministry  of  Higher 
and  Special  Education.  Dr.  Gray 
was  also  awarded  a  Fulbright-Hays 
grant  for  faculty  research  abroad 
during  the  period. 

The  International  Research 
and  Exchange  Board  (IREX)  nomi- 
nated Dr.  Gray  for  the  exchange 
program  position.  IREX  is  spon- 
sored by  the  American  Council  of 
Learned  Societies  and  the  Social 
Science  Research  Council,  and  is 
funded  in  part  by  the  Department 
of  State's  Bureau  of  Educational 
and  Cultural  Affairs. 

Dr.  Gray  was  accompanied  by 
his  wife,  Jean,  and  their  son,  Liam. 
After  five  weeks  of  language  train- 
ing at  Moscow  State  University 
(MGU),  he  was  assigned  to  the 
Timiriazev  Agricultural  Academy  in 
Moscow.  The  Grays  were  given  a 
"block"  of  two  rooms  and  bath, 
with  communal  kitchen  facilities, 
in  a  new  sixteen-story  building  on 
the  edge  of  the  academy  territory. 

Dr.  Gray  reported,  "The  two 
rooms  contained  180  and  120 
square  feet  respectively  and  were 
similar  in  layout  to  the  MGU  blocks, 
though  bigger  and  more  modern. 
We  were  supplied  with  a  small 
refrigerator  and  a  television.  Neigh- 
bors on  our  floor  were  transients  in 
Moscow  for  periods  up  to  two 
months  for  refresher  courses.  Ele- 
vator service,  hot  water,  and  elec- 
tricity were  sometimes  interrupted, 
and  the  building  had  no  telephone 
service." 

Liam,  then  three  years  old, 
attended  a  Russian  nursery  school 
from    September  through   June. 

"The  foreign  office  of  the 
academy  seemed  interested  that 
he  would  attend  and  cut  red  tape 
to  get  him  in.  He  learned  sufficient 
Russian  to  play  and  shout.  He  cried 
on  the  first  day  we  left  him  and  on 
the  day  when  we  picked  him  up  for 
the  last  time,"  Dr.  Gray  said. 

Jean  Gray  continued  her  study 
of  Russian  with  exchange  lessons  at 
the  Academy.  She  also  did  the 
shopping— a  big  job  in  itself,  with 
its   own   communications   gap- 
cooking  and  housework,  tutored 
children  in  English  and  worked  part 
time  for  an  American  correspondent 
for  NBC  news. 


Kenneth  Gray  and  family  trace  their  itinerary 


The  Gray  family  saw  Russia  as 
it  may  not  be  seen  by  all  tourists— 
from  the  subtropical  scenery  with 
palm  trees  in  the  south,  to  cross- 
country skiing  in  the  north,  a  popu- 
lar sport  which  they  thoroughly  en- 
joyed. The  delights  (?)  of  a  Russian- 
style  sauna  with  temperatures  up  to 
55  degrees  Centigrade  (131     F), 
camels  in  the  Ukraine,  swimming 
with  dolphins  in  the  Sea  of  Azov, 
and   the   non-Russian   look   of 
Moslem    Uzbekistan    with    its 
mosques  were  also  appreciated. 

Dr.  Gray  said  his  "long  hard 
investment  in  the  Russian  lan- 
guage" began  to  pay  off,  in  the 
family's  being  able  to  get  around 
the  country  on  their  own.  They 
made  their  own  hotel  reservations 
in  Russian  hotels  rather  than  tourist 
hotels,  paying  in  rubles  which  was 
considerably  cheaper  than  "going 
tourist." 

One  of  the  questions  Dr.  Gray 
asked  his  hosts  on  the  various  farms 
he  visited  was  whether  they  had 
been  in  their  jobs  before  Kruschev's 
departure  from  power,  and  if  so, 


how  have  things  changed.  Most  said 
they  find  it  easier  now  to  get 
needed  fertilizer,  machinery,  etc. 
He  said  he  was  there  following  a 
crop  failure,  so  there  was  a  mood 
of  temporary  frustration,  but  a 
general  overall  feeling  of  improve- 
ment. He  said  Russia's  imports  of 
U.S.  grain  are  not  publicized  in 
their  papers,  but  people  seem  to 
know  about  it  anyway. 

He  said  that  whereas  in  this 
country    the    individual    farmer 
decides  how  much  of  what  he  will 
plant  after  studying  prices,  market 
facilities  and  aid  programs,  in 
Russia    government    economists 
decide,  and  there  is  a  large  litera- 
ture on  the  bases  for  their  deci- 
sions. "Decentralization  of  Soviet 
agriculture  reflects  issues  in  the  re- 
reform  of  the  economy  as  a  whole," 
he  said. 

Dr.  Gray  said  that  even  the 
Russians  think  their  system  is  over- 
centralized.   The   technicians   he 
talked  to  were  advocates  of  more 
decentralization,  but  he  said  the 


agricultural  economists  are  "back- 
ward." 

Dr.  Gray  was  attached  to  the 
Kafedra  of  the  Economics  of  So- 
cialist Agriculture,  as  apparently  are 
all  foreign  special  students  no  mat- 
ter what  their  interests,  he  said.  His 
research  director  was  a  specialist  in 
dairy  economics  who  had  made  a 
trip  to  the  U.S.  the  preceding  spring. 

Some  of  his  field  trips  were  to 
Byelorussia,  Ukraine,  Georgia,  and 
Krasnodarskii  krai.  With  his  family 
he  traveled  to  Leningrad,  Tibilisi, 
Erevan,  Tashkent,  Bukhara,  and 
Samarkand.  On  leaving  Russia  they 
flew  to  Irkutsk  and  took  the  tran- 
Siberian  railway  to  Khabarovsk  and 
Nakhodka  and  a  Soviet  steamer  to 
Yokohama. 

Ken  Gray  came  to  Sewanee  in 
1974,  having  graduated  from  the 
University  of  Kansas  with  a  major 
in  economics  and  Slavic  studies  and 
spent  a  summer  in  Russia  on  a  KU 
language  program.  He  and  his  wife 
served  in  the  Peace  Corps  in  Peru 
from  1968  to  1970. 


DECEMBER  1977 


Don't  Laugh  at  Lenin's  Statue,  Comrade 


What  is  there  to  do  in  Russia?  That 
nation  of  the  risen  proletariat  is 
even  duller  than  the  Russians  would 
have  us  believe.  Like  everyone  else, 
the  tourist  suffers  with  the  primi- 
tive plumbing,  poor  transportation 
and  lousy  food.    So  he  might  live 
dangerously:    take    pictures    of 
bridges,  or  of  people  standing  in 
line  for  food,  or  enjoy  the  natives 
in   the   spirit   of   1984— "We'd 
better  not  stand  here  too  long ;  let's 
mingle  with  the  crowd." 

Harold  Goldberg  did  this  and 
more,  and  for  all  his  humorless 
Russian  hosts  could  tell,  he  was  a 
perfect  guest. 

Goldberg,  assistant  professor  of 
history,  had  intended  to  take  a 
dozen  students  with  him  behind  the 
Iron  Curtain,  but  Soviet  bureau- 
crats have  ways  of  frustrating  the 
best  laid  plans. 

So  he  finally  settled  for  a  16-day 
group  tour  last  summer  conducted 
by  Intourist,  the  official  Soviet 
travel  agency. 

"They  want  the  Americans  to 
have  the  idea  there  are  practically 
no  restrictions,"  Goldberg  said,  "So 
tourists  may  leave  the  group  and 
wander  almost  anywhere  they  wish." 

In  practice,  he  explained,  most 
everyone  stays  with  the  tour.  The 
language  barrier  is  too  overwhelm- 
ing. Unable  to  read  signs  or  ask 
questions,  the  tourist  doesn't  know 
where  he  is  going  or  what  he  is 
seeing. 

Goldberg,  fluent  in  Russian 
and  a  bit  of  a  maverick  to  boot,  set 
out  on  his  own,  gathering  the  flavor 
of  the  country  and  photographs  of 
Russian  sites  to  bring  back  to  his 
students. 

Without  the  warning  of  their 
guide,  however,  an  elderly  couple 


Harold  Goldberg 


in  Goldberg's  tour  group  found 
themselves  arrested  in  Odessa  be- 
cause they  were  photographing 
a  line  of  people  waiting  to  buy  fruit. 

"So  they  were  taken— well,  I 
wouldn't  say  down  town,"  Gold- 
berg grinned.  "They  were  taken  to 
the  station,  and  no  one  knew  where 
they  were.  They  probably  had  this 
Kojak  idea  that  everyone  gets  one 
phone  call." 

After  being  kept  in  isolation  for 
perhaps  an  hour  and  a  half,  the 
woman  began  to  break  down  and 
cry.  So  the  police,  Goldberg  said, 
with  this  hysterical  woman  on  their 
hands,  simply  took  the  couple's 
film  and  let  them  go. 

Later  Goldberg  disregarded  a 
warning  and  sneaked  some  photo- 
graphs of  a  private  commune 
market,  where  farmers  are  allowed 
to  peddle  their  private  produce  for 
a  capitalistic  profit. 


"The  prices  are  much  higher 
than  in  the  state  stores,"  he  said, 
"but  we  were  told  the  quality  was 
also  much  better.  The  market  was 
crowded  with  shoppers.  Everyone 
in  the  tour  group  was  looking 
forward  to  visiting  the  market  be- 
cause we  hadn't  had  any  good 
fruit  since  we  had  arrived  in  Russia." 

But  nobody  bought  anything. 

"It  was  the  kind  of  stuff  that's 
thrown  out  in  America  before  it 
gets  to  the  supermarket,"  he  said. 

Though  the  Russians  try  to 
impress  Americans,  service  remains 
inept.   Apparently  stung  by  the 
complaint  in  one  restaurant  about 
the  steaks,  which  Goldberg  de- 
scribed as  the  worst  meat  he  had 
ever  eaten,  the  woman  tour  guide 
threw  a  piece  at  the  feet  of  a 
waiter  and  stomped  on  it.  Ten 
minutes   later,   Goldberg   added, 
"these  beautiful  steaks  were  brought 
out." 

Even    when    wandering    the 
streest  alone,  Americans  are  con- 
spicuously Western,  he  said.  "Every- 
thing about  us  screams  American. 
We  were  constantly  beseiged  with 
requests  to  sell  our  clothes.  To 
have  anything  Western  is  the  height 
of  Russian  prestige — to  have  any- 
thing with  a  label,  such  as  Levis.  A 
Mickey  Mouse  shirt  would  be  worth 
an  incredible  amount." 

The  Russian  rubles,  however, 
are  almost  useless  to  the  Americans, 
who  can  spend  their  dollars  only 
in  tourist  stores,  where  the  dollar- 
hungry  Soviet  government  sells 
the  best  quality  goods. 

Goldberg  said  he  was  approach- 
ed on  the  street  by  younger  Rus- 
sians, who  showed  dissatisfaction 
with  the  low  standards.  The  older 
Russians  are  content,  because  they 


survived  the  bleak  1930s  and  the 
deprivations  of  World  War  II.  They 
are  proud  of  what  their  country 
has  done. 

Goldberg  asked  one  young 
Russian,  "Don't  you  think  things 
are  better?" 

"Better  than  what?"  was  the 
answer,  "I'm  not  that  old." 

That  is  a  contrast  to  the  re- 
action of  Western  youth  against 
materialism.  The  young  Russians 
cannot  get  enough  material  goods. 

In  politics,  the  ordinary  Russian 
citizen  apparently  has  little  identi- 
fication with  the  intellectual  dis- 
sidents. Instead  the  Russians  talked 
about  the  American  neutron  bomb, 
Goldberg  said,  which  was  getting 
a  big  play  in  the  Soviet  press. 

The  American  tour  group  was 
also  approached  by  Jewish  Rus- 
sians, who  were  trying  to  leave  the 
country  and  wanted  information 
about  places  to  live  and  work  in 
the  United  States.  They  face  a 
sobering  risk.  By  applying  to  emi- 
grate, Russians  risk  their  apartments 
and  job  status,  and  many  must 
depend  on  friends  and  relatives  for 
support. 

Starting  with  Leningrad,  Gold- 
berg's tour  flew  into  five  Russian 
cities. 

"I  am  sure  Lindbergh  had  a 
better  plane,"  he  said.  But  he  was 
delighted  with  and  awed  by  the 
historic  sights.  Red  Square  must 
be  seen  to  be  believed,  and  he 
called  St.  Basil's  Cathedral  the 
most  fantastic  building  he  has 
ever  seen. 

A  line  outside  Lenin's  tomb 
was  so  long  (more  than  a  mile) 
that  Goldberg  finally  gave  up  a 
search  for  the  end  and  went  back 
to  tell  a  Russian  guard,  naive  in 
the  ways  of  American  guile, 
that  he  had  missed  his  tour  bus 
which  had  just  driven  up  to  an 
early  entrance.  He  still  waited  in 
line  for  an  hour. 

Newlyweds,  just  married  in 
the  Kremlin's  Hall  of  Marriages 
("Very  romantic,  right?"  Gold- 
berg grinned),  take  precedence 
and  move  to  the  head  of  the  line 
where  they  "start  their  married 
life,"  said  Goldberg,  "with  the 
inspiration  of  seeing  Lenin  stretch- 
ed out  in  his  mausoleum." 

Those  Russians.  Maybe  you  do 
need  to  see  it  to  believe  it. 


UPDATE  ON  FACULTY  ACTIVITIES 


THESEWANEE  NEWS 


Readers  of  the  Sewanee  News 
have  expressed  interest  in  out-of- 
class  activities  of  Sewanee  faculty, 
and  since  independent  work  is 
also  of  interest,  though  not  always 
well  known,  to  other  faculty  mem- 
bers, a  list  is  compiled  here.  Of 
necessity  only  a  part  of  the  faculty 
is  mentioned  in  this  issue. 


Eric  W.  Naylor,  professor  of  Spanish, 
has  published  two  books  in  slightly 
over  a  year,  both  dealing  with  the 
14th-century  long  poem,  "Book  of 
Good  Love,"  written  by  Juan  Ruiz, 
archpriest  of  Hita.  The  first  book 
includes  notes,  literary  commentary, 
and  mediaeval  Spanish  illustrations 
for  the  8,000-line  poem,  the  major 
work  of  the  Castilian  Middle  Ages. 
The  second  book  is  a  facsimile  edi- 
tion of  the  Toledo  manuscript  with 
transcription  of  the  manuscript, 
and  commentary.  Dr.  Naylor  has 
been  working  in  collaboration  with 
Manuel  Criado  de  Val  of  Madrid. 

Timothy  Keith-Lucas,  assistant  pro- 
fessor of  psychology,  who  is  devo- 
ting much  of  his  out-of -class  time- 
to  writing  about  emergency  vehicle 
equipment,  said  he  is  proving  there 
is  a  need  for  someone  with  an  en- 
gineering,  psychology   and   fire- 
fighting  background.  (Dr.  Keith- 
Lucas  is  training  officer  and  chief 
engineer  with  the  Sewanee  Fire 
Department).  Fire  Command,   a 
journal  of  the  National  Fire  Pro- 
tection Association,  published  his 
article  last  month  titled  "Perception 
of  Warning  Lights,"  about  the  flash 


rate,  color  (the  worst  color  to  use 
is  red  and  the  next  worse  is  blue), 
brightness  and  placement  of  lights 
on  vehicles.  A  second  article  on  the 
perception  of  sirens  will  be  pub- 
lished soon  in  Fire  Engineering, 
a  commercial  journal.  A  third  is 
still  being  written,  comparing  strobe 
lights  and  rotating  beacons  as  warn- 
ing lights. 

The  University  of  the  South  has 
been  awarded  an  $18,000  grant 
from  the  National  Endowment  for 
the  Humanities  to  allow  Stephen  F. 
Brown,  professor  of  philosophy, 
to  complete  the  editing  of  two  14th 
century  commentaries  on  the  phys- 
ics of  Aristotle.  The  two  commen- 
taries will  be  added  for  publication 
to  another  commentary  already  edi- 
ted by  Dr.  Brown.  The  entire  pro- 
ject is  titled  "Critical  Edition  of 
Two   Physics   Commentaries   of 
William  of  Ockham."  Ockham,  the 
Oxford  Franciscan  logician,  philo- 
sopher and  theologian,  was  ex- 
tremely influential  in  the  faculties 
of  universities  in  England  and  on 
the  continent  from  the  14th  to  the 
16th  centuries.  Dr.  Brown  has  been 
the  principal  or  associate  editor  for 
three  volumes  which  have  already 
appeared  in  the  Opera  Omnia  series 
of  Ockham  and  has  completed  a 
fourth  volume,  which  will  appear  in 
February.  The  project  consists  in 
trying  to  re-establish  the  lectures 
of  Ockham  as  originally  given  by 
collating  all  the  surviving  manu- 
scripts of  each  work.  For  each  of 


the  two  treatises  he  will  be  editing, 
Dr.  Brown  has  three  surviving 
manuscripts  from  the  14th  century. 

John  V.  Reishman,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  English,  will  be  taking  a 
sabbatical  leave  spring  semester  to 
do  some  short-story  writing.  The 
project  is  a  follow-up  to  some  cre- 
ative writing  Dr.  Reishman  did  as  a 
student  at  Notre  Dame.  Some  of 
his  work  was  accepted  for  publi- 
cation. 

Mary  Jo  Wheeler-Smith,  assistant 
professor  of  anthropology,  has  re- 
cently published  a  book  review  and 
is  writing  a  second.  The  first,  pub- 
lished in  the  August  edition  of  the 
Journal  of  Asian  Studies,  deals  with 
Encounter  and  Experience— Per- 
sonal Accounts  of  Field   Work, 
edited  by  Andre  Beteille  and  T.  N. 
Madan.  The  review  draws  on  her 
experience  in  field  work  in  India.    . 
The  second  review,  which  will  be 
published  in  South  Asia  in  Review, 
deals  with  Scheduled  Caste  Women 
by  Harshad  R.  Triveli.  (A  preview 
of  the  review:  "This  book  is  simply 
dreadful. " 

Jacqueline  Schaefer,  associate  pro- 
fessor of  French,  spent  a  month 
last  summer  at  the  Center  for  Ad- 
vanced Studies  in  Mediaeval  Civili- 
zation at  Poitiers,  France,  attending 
lectures  and  doing  research  in 
"iconography  of  madness  in  the 
12th  century."  Olifant,  a  publica- 
tion of  the  Rencesvals  Society,  re- 
cently published  her  review  of  an 


article  by  Pierre  Jonin.  More  recent- 
ly still,  hers  was  the  lead  article 
published  in  Tristania,  a  journal  de- 
voted to  Tristan  Studies.  Dr.  Schae- 
fer also  has  been  named  to  a  com- 
mittee of  the  Institute  of  European 
Studies  to  plan  and  supervise  a 
comparative   literature   program 
overseas.  She  also  is  a  member  of 
the  Tennessee  Council  for  Inter- 
national Education,  whose  purpose 
is  to  provide  opportunities  for 
those  involved  in  international  edu- 
cation. 

Barclay  Ward,  assistant  professor  of 
political  science,  presented  a  paper 
on  "Policy  Process  in  Poland," 
during  the  annual  meeting  in  Wash- 
ington October  13-16  of  the  Ameri- 
can Association  for  the  Advance- 
ment of  Slavic  Studies.  Dr.  Ward 
and  his  wife,  Joan,  an  instructor  in 
political  science,  spent  the  summer 
of  1976  in  Poland.  Dr.  Ward's  class- 
es in  Soviet  Foreign  Policy  and 
International  Polities  are  becoming 
rather  famous  at  Sewanee  because 
of  their  use  of  an  "international 
simulation  program,"  under  which 
groups  of  students  are  assigned 
countries  and  attempt  to  achieve 
national  goals  they  select. 

Charles  S.   Peyser,  professor  of 
psychology,  is  continuing  research 
into  the  record  of  student  perfor- 
mance and  rate  of  graduation  in  the 
University's  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences.  The  result  of  part  of  this 
study,  which  is  being  done  in  co- 
operation  with   the   admissions 
office,  drew  the  attention  of  the 
Board  of  Regents  this  fall  when  it 
was  noted  that  the  figures  seemed 
to  show  that  a  rather  high  percen- 
tage of  Sewanee  students  have  been 
transferring  away  from  Sewanee  be- 
fore graduation.  He  said  the  find- 
ings of  the  overall  study  may  be 
helpful  in  predicting  and  improving 
the  performance  of  students.  Dr. 
Peyser  also  has  reviewed  six  books 
since  May  for  Periodically,  a  publi- 
cation of  the  American  Psycholo- 
gical Association,  which  is  aimed 
primarily  at  pre-college  psychology 
teachers.  This  past  year,  Dr.  Peyser 
received  certification  as  a  soccer 
referee  from  the  National  Inter- 
collegiate Soccer  Officials  Associa- 
tion and  has  been  officiating  this 
fall  at  area  matches,  principally 
around  Chattanooga  and  Huntsville. 


DECEMBER  1977 


The  University  and  the  Church- 
Meeting  Responsibilities 


From  a  variety  of  sources,  in  one  form  or  another, 
the  question  is  occasionally  heard  at  Sewanee: 
"What  does  the  University  of  the  South  do  for 
the  Episcopal  Church?"  Or:  "Why  should  the 
church  support  the  University?"  —  directed 
most  often  to  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
or  the  Sewanee  Academy.  These  questions  have 
a  strange  ring  to  thosewhoare  a  part  of  Sewanee, 
who  are  deeply  involved  in  the  mission  of  the 
University  in  education.  But  there  is  validity  in 
those  questions,  because  they  raise  the  ultimate 
and  always  living  issue  of  church  relationship. 

It  is  a  concern  among  University  leaders  that 
the  financial  support  from  the  Episcopal  Church 
—  its  dioceses  and  parishes—  equals  only  slightly 
more  than  two  per  cent  of  the  University  budget 
annually,  despite  the  fact  the  University  is  wholly 
owned  by  the  church.  There  is  particular  concern 


at  this  time  when  the  University  is  striving  to 
balance  its  budget.  Tuition  is  paying  only  about 
50  per  cent  of  the  cost  of  education,  and  in- 
flation threatens  further  to  erode  the  University 's 
endowment. 

The  Rev.  James  Johnson,  rector  of  St. 
George's  Church,  Nashville,  and  alumni  vice 
president  for  church  relations,  told  the  Asso- 
ciated Alumni  in  October:  "It  may  not  be  possi- 
ble for  the  University  of  the  South  to  be  separ- 
ated from  the  Church,  but  it  may  as  well  be,  if 
the  Church  is  not  going  to  support  Sewanee. " 

It  is  a  complicated  and  double-edged  issue— 
this  matter  of  church  relationship.  It  involves 
obligations  for  both  the  University  and  the 
Church.  The  nature  of  its  obligation  to  the 
Church  and  the  community  at  large  is  a  problem 
Sewanee  is  struggling  to  define  in  clearer  terms. 


To  catch  a  glimpse  of  this  struggle,  the 
Sewanee  News  is  publishing  here  four  essays 
addressed  to  the  broad  question  of  the  Univer- 
sity's relationship  to  the  Episcopal  Church— 
what  it  is  and  what  the  future  of  a  church- 
related  university  might  be. 

The  authors  represent  a  spectrum  of  thinking 
at  Sewanee.  They  are  relatively  young,  scholarly 
and  articulate,  and  they  are  deeply  involved  in 
the  daily  life  of  the  University.  They  represent, 
in  a  sense,  a  new  generation  of  leadership  on  the 
campus.  They  have  written,  however,  realizing 
that  what  they  have  written  will  not  necessarily 
change  minds  or  influence  University  policy. 
That  is  not  the  purpose.  They  and  the  Sewanee 
News  will  be  pleased  if  these  essays  simply  give 
you  a  better  picture  of  what  Sewanee  is. 


Opportunity 
for  Action 

by  Stephen  E.  Puckette 

Why  should  a  church  support  any  kind  of  edu- 
cational institution?  There  is  one  evident  reason 
why  some  churches  do,  and  that  is  to  provide  a 
particular  climate  under  which  the  process  of 
learning  may  take  place.  The  particular  climate 
may  vary  from  indoctrination,  or  coerced  belief, 
to  a  principle  for  which  the  institution  stands, 
whether  or  not  all  its  parts  stand  with  it. 

In  the  United  States  learning  is  going  to  hap- 
pen whether  a  church  does  anything  about  it  or 
not.  For  one  thing  the  government  of  each  state 
says  learning  will  happen,  or  more  precisely,  the 
time  and  place  for  it  to  happen  will  be  provided, 
forcibly,  up  through  a  certain  age.  Each  state 
government  also  provides  opportunities  for  a 
continuation  of  learning  into  higher  education, 
as  it  is  pleased  to  be  called. 

The  church  may  very  well  stand  by,  visit  the 
sick,  preach,  baptize,  marry,  and  bury.  With  the 
exception  of  preaching,  these  to  me  represent 
passive  states  for  the  church  to  be  in.  The  com- 
municants do  the  procreating  and  the  dying,  and 
we  expect  the  church  to  react  by  performing  its 
rituals  over  events  already  decided. 

The  church  may  do  only  that,  and  in  many 
parishes  that  seems  to  be  all  there  is.  But  in 
these  circumstances  a  vast  opportunity  is  totally 
ignored. 

The  voluntary  alms-giver 
has  given  way  to  the 
involuntary  taxpayer 

In  looking  around  for  its  earthly  missions, 
the  church  in  the  United  States  in  the  1970s 
does  not  have  the  choice  of  going  back  to  its 
mediaeval  antecedents  and  providing  all  the  care 
for  the  sick,  the  poor,  the  orphans,  and  the  aged. 
Little  by  little  the  various  levels  of  government 
have  taken  the  initiative  and  provided  relief  for 
what  once  was  the  charitable  domain  of  the 
church.  For  better  or  worse,  the  voluntary  alms- 
giver  has  given  way  to  the  involuntary  taxpayer, 
and  the  church's  options  for  action  have  been 
taken  away. 

There  remains  at  least  the  opportunity  for 
action  which  the  Church  has  never  lost.  For 
some  reason,  in  both  this  country  and  in  Great 
Britain,  private  institutions  of  learning  have  sur- 
vived the  ever-increasing  tendency  of  govern- 
ment to  provide  a  public  and  wholly  secular  sub- 
stitute. I  believe  the  reason  for  this  survival  is 
that  the  process  of  formal  learning  is  very  sus- 
ceptible to  being  contaminated  with  moral  ed- 
ucation, the  instillation  of  personal  ideals  and 
goals,  and  that  contamination  has  been  both 
highly  valuable  and  highly  successful.  Know- 
ledge has  its  own  frontiers,  and  at  those  frontiers 

are  often  questions  of  ethics,  morality,  and  the 
purpose  of  humankind.  The  church  is  one  place 

where  the  young  go  for  answers. 

If  the  church  misses  this  kind  of  opportunity, 

I  believe  it  is  locked  in  a  death  wish. 


Coercion  of  belief  is  the 
antithesis  of  honest  learning 


I  should  be  emphatic  about  my  own  con- 
viction that  the  church  should  not  charge  in  to 
support  an  institution  which  exacts  the  same 
creed  every  week  from  every  student,  or  even 
from  every  faculty  member  or  dean.  I  think  the 
institution  should  state  clearly  its  own  purpose, 
its  own  creed,  and  stick  by  it.  But  each  of  its 
participants  must  be  allowed  to  learn,  to  ques- 
tion, and  to  seek  his  or  her  own  answers.  Coer- 
cion of  belief  is  the  antithesis  of  honest  learning, 
and  the  latter  is  what  characterizes  a  successful 
educational  climate. 

Among  its  many  options  for  action  in  educa- 
tion, a  church  will  be,  I  believe,  most  effective  if 
it  provides  the  kind  of  climate  I  am  trying  to 
describe.  There  is  no  doubt  that  church  colleges 
with  precise  doctrinal  requirements  have  grown 
in  number  during  this  decade,  but  I  believe  their 
attraction  is  the  result  of  a  temporary  flight 
from  the  totally  secular  atmospheres  of  large  pri- 
vate institutions  which  do  not  currently  know 
what  they  stand  for.  (These  latter  places  of 
learning  may  as  well  be  merged  with  the  state 
universities,  for  the  purposes  of  the  two  can  no 
longer  be  distinguished.) 

If  the  church  has  a  shining  opportunity, 
both  for  its  own  self-interest  and  for  the  intrinsic 
value  of  education  in  a  church-oriented  insti- 
tution, what  genus  of  education  should  it  be?  I 
do  not  think  it  matters,  as  long  as  the  education 
is  a  serious  endeavor  accessible  to  a  reasonable 
fraction  of  the  population.  It  could  be  engineer- 
ing as  well  as  liberal  arts,  or  secondary  as  well  as 
college  level. 

There  is  no  point  in  the  church's  establish- 
ing an  institute  solely  for  postdoctoral  work  in 
radio  astronomy,  important  and  laudable  as 
that  is.  It  could  absorb  arbitrary  amounts  of 
money,  but  any  educational  institution  can  do 


that.  The  difficulty  is  that  only  an  insignificant 
number  of  souls  really  get  into  radio  astronomy 
in  any  depth,  and  the  church  wants  to  have 
some  impact.  The  endeavor  must  be  one  in 
which  a  significant  number  of  people  can 
participate.  It  will  therefore  have  to  include 
opportunities  for  undergraduate  work. 

The  Episcopal  Church  has 
never  thought  of  Sunday 
School  as  a  serious  institution 

On  the  other  hand,  the  work  must  be 
serious.  The  church  could  very  well  put  all  its 
efforts  into  Sunday  School— called  Christian 
education  nowadays,  as  opposed  to  the  other 
kind  handed  out  down  the  street.  But  the 
Episcopal  church  has  never  thought  of  Sunday 
School  as  a  serious  institution,  as  any  product 
of  it  can  verify.  It  is  as  if  the  church  were  mute- 
ly testifying  to  the  possibility  that  it  wants  to 
look  elsewhere  to  do  its  serious  work  in  edu- 
cation. 

In  sum,  I  believe  that  what  the  church  wants 
to  engage  in  is  Christian  Education,  and  the 
enterprise  should  be  worthy  of  both  names.  The 
first  provides  a  framework  of  belief  for  the  pro- 
cess, the  second  is  the  business— not  antithetical 
to  the  church's  business,  but  necessary  to  it— 
of  hammering  out  thoughtful,  educated  persons, 
with  all  the  action  of  argument,  challenge,  un- 
certainty, and  eventual  liberation  which  edu- 
cation can  provide. 

With  mankind's  persistent  compulsion  to 
learn,  education  will  not  fade  away.  If  the 
church  opts  out  of  the  process,  the  church  might 
.  fade  instead.

DECEMBER  1977 


Building  a  Christian  Community 


by  the  Rev.  Charles  Kiblinger 

Sewanee  survives,  and  in  a  sense  thrives,  in  the 
midst  of  the  growing  size  of  state  systems  of 
higher  education  and  secular  private  schools. 
It  has  emerged  as  a  relatively  small  liberal  arts 
college,  although  the  vision  of  the  founders  was 
one  of  grandeur,  retaining  "university"  in  its 
name  because  of  the  School  of  Theology.  Yet 
this  survival  runs  counter  to  the  usual  fate  of 
church-related  schools. 

The  Episcopal  Church  in  particular  has 
maintained  very  few  of  the  many  colleges  it  has 
founded  in  America.  Although  the  Church  re- 
tains a  relationship  with  six  other  American 
colleges  in  the  Association  of  Episcopal  Colleges, 
the  University  is  the  only  institution  of  higher 
learning  today  completely  owned  and  operated 
by  the  Episcopal  Church.  The  University  con- 
tinues to  be  governed  by  the  church  despite  the 
fact  that  only  a  small  portion  of  its  budget  is 
actually  derived  directly  from  the  Church. 

In  this  context  the  question  is  raised:  Why 
should  the  Church  own  a  college  like  Sewanee? 
Outside  of  training  for  the  ministry,  should  the 
Episcopal  Church  be  in  the  business  of  higher 
education?  What  can  a  church  school  do  that 
public  education  does  not  do  more  efficiently 
and  less  expensively? 

At  least  three  points  seem  relevant  in  re- 
sponse to  these  questions ;  education  and  values; 
education  and  community;  education  and  ser- 
vice. 


A  system  of  evangelical 
button-holing  .  .  .  would  be 
a  violation  of  Sewanee 's 
history  and  tradition 


I  EDUCATION  AND  VALUES 

The  perennial  debate  in  education  circles  is 
whether  education  should  be  value-free  or  value- 
oriented.  Unfortunately,  in  the  history  of  church 
colleges  the  value-oriented  approach  to  education 
has  been  associated  with  sectarian  dogmatism 
that  has  violated  the  freedom  for  study,  inquiry 


The  truth  we  seek  is  ultimately  a  seeking  after  God 


and  thoughtful  expression.  Sewanee  has  always 
avoided  such  a  relationship  between  church  and 
college  and  has  strictly  maintained  an  atmosphere 
of  academic  integrity.   While  evangelism  may  be 
a  part  of  the  campus  ministry,  it  is  not  the  pur- 
pose of  the  college.  A  system  of  evangelical 
button-holing  or  fundamentalist  Bible  instruc- 
tion would  be  a  violation  of  Sewanee's  history 
and  tradition  and  of  the  Episcopal  church's 
traditional  stance  on  higher  education. 

On  the  other  hand  the  church  school  should 
offer  an  honest  alternative  to  secular  education. 
The  1973  report  of  the  Carnegie  Commission  on 
Higher  Education  suggested  as  the  fifth  of  its 
five  purposes  for  higher  education  in  the  United 
States  that  there  be  in  the  university  "the  critical 
evaluation  of  society— through  individual  thought 
and  persuasion— for  the  sake  of  society's  self- 
renewal."  Little  of  education  is  thoroughly 
objective  and  it  is  nearly  impossible  to  separate 
one's  personal  values  from  what  and  how  one 
teaches.  If  the  state  is  to  be  in  charge  of  educa- 
tion from  the  pre-school  through  graduate  school, 
it  becomes,  in  a  way,  "the  established  church" 
for  civil  religion  which  perpetuates  its  own 
values.  Like  other  private  institutions,  the  church 
college  should  then  provide  a  critical  and  creative 
alternative. 

The  church  college  is  distinguished  from 
other  private  and  state  institutions  by  its  belief 
that  the  search  for  truth  in  education  is  ulti- 
mately grounded  in  the  triune  God  and  that  all 
that  man  has  learned  or  will  learn  is  in  harmony. 
The  church  college  should  then  have  an  atmo- 
sphere of  total  freedom  (freedom  in  Christ)  to 
seek  out  all  truth  and  to  fear  nothing  in  its  pur- 
suit-, to  be  open  to  all  issues  and  possibilities  of 
learning  and  life  without  shrinking  from  their 
realities.  Science,  reason,  and  faith  then  join  to 
seek  to  achieve  full  truth  and  to  see  its  harmony 
and  its  wholeness  in  one's  self  and  in  the  world. 

Sewanee  has  avoided  the  narrow  sectarian 
trap  in  church  school  education.  By  its  attach- 
ment to  the  Episcopal  Church  it  operates  on  the 


premise  that  the  truth  we  seek  is  ultimately  a 
seeking  after  God.  The  question  must  be  asked 
of  a  school  such  as  Sewanee,  with  its  student 
body  and  supporting  constituency  having  a 
rather  homogeneous  cultural  complexion,  is: 
does  it  seriously  reflect  the  values  of  a  parti- 
cular region  and  class  of  people  or  does  it  truly 
provide  an  atmosphere  where  there  might  be 
"the  critical  evaluation  of  society— through 
thought  and  persuasion— for  the  sake  of  society's 
self -renewal"?  And  is  that  critical  evaluation 
carried  out  in  a  dialogue  between  a  theological 
understanding  of  this  world  and  the  other 
academic  disciplines  probing  and  illuminating 
each  other  in  a  search,  without  fear,  for  the 
truth?  Those  are  the  kinds  of  questions  that  any 
church  and  college  united  to  each  other  must 
continually  pose. 

II  EDUCATION  AND  COMMUNITY 

Sewanee,  like  hundreds  of  other  small  pri- 
vate colleges,  offers  an  alternative  to  the  large 
computerized  state  university  by  its  smallness. 
Certainly  the  opportunity  for  the  development 
of  relationships  is  considerably  enhanced  in  a 
town  of  three  thousand  and  a  student  body  of 
a  thousand  as  compared  to  a  campus  of  twenty 
to  forty  thousand  students  in  the  midst  of  a 
city.  The  small  campus  in  the  small  town  has  a 
unique  opportunity  in  an  essentially  urbanized 
society  to  develop  a  strong  community. 

Although  one  can  argue  that  people  and  not 
institutions  are  Christian,  the  church  college 
should  take  seriously  the  development  of  Chris- 
tian Community.  A  place  like  Sewanee  offers 
the  church  an  unparalleled  opportunity  for  the 
development  of  sensitive,  motivated,  and  in- 
tellectually and  spiritually  equipped  lay  people 
who  understand  the  possibilities  and  responsi- 
bilities of  living  in  community. 

The  basis  for  such  community  in  a  place  like 
Sewanee  is  inevitably  the  permanent  community : 
the  faculty,  administration,  staff  and  all  the

THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


A  place  like  Sewanee  offers 
the  church  an  unparalleled 
opportunity 


people  who  live  and  work  in  the  town.  What 
kind  of  model  for  community  is  provided  the 
student  who  enters  this  community  for  three 
or  four  years?  The  church  college  which  takes  its 
life  together  seriously  must  consciously  work  at 
developing  the  kind  of  reconciling  community 
which  reflects  the  ideals  of  Christian  Community. 
This  assumes  an  open  and  trusting  society  in 
which  channels  of  communications  are  open 
among  all  groups.  Conflict  must  be  allowed  to 
emerge  and  be  resolved  in  a  spirit  of  love  and 
concern  for  one  another.  Arbitrary  distinctions 
must  be  minimized  and  in  the  Christian  Com- 
munity the  uniting  force  is  ever  the  Christ 
figure  representing  the  power  of  God  to  recon- 
cile all  people  to  himself  and  to  each  other. 
Sewanee  is  recollected  by  its  alumni  as  a 
place  of  the  formation  of  strong  and  enduring 
relationships.  In  the  past  its  faculty  has  been 
and  continues  to  be  remarkably  accessible  to 
the  students,  and  the  spirit  of  life  together  is 
truly  heartening  when  one  observes  the  parallel 
situation  of  the  vast  structure  of  state  universi- 
ties. At  the  same  time  Sewanee  continues  to  re- 
flect the  arbitrary  divisions  of  society  in  its 
own  life  and  fails  to  achieve  any  real  openness 
and  trust  that  allows  direct  resolution  of  con- 
flict and  a  real  dialogue  amongst  its  many  groups 
and  life-styles.  The  real  question  that  must  be 
asked  by  a  church  operating  a  college  such  as 
Sewanee  is:  how  much  can  those  who  make  the 
decisions  for  the  life  of  such  a  community  really 
allow  the  freedom  for  the  Spirit  of  God  to  grow 
and  develop  that  community  as  He  will?

It  is  not  the  job  of  the  church 
college  to  prepare  its 
graduates  to  work  for  the 
church  but  rather  to  be  the 
church  in  the  world 


III  EDUCATION  AND  SERVICE 

Sewanee,  like  those  other  small  colleges 
which  have  survived  the  20th  century  pressure 
towards  utilitarianism,  continues  to  educate  and 
not  train  men  and  women,  to  develop  the  whole 
person  and  not  just  a  skill  which  will  enable  a 
personjto  enter  the  world  of  work  and  the  eco- 
nomic order.  The  ideal  church  college  seeks  to 
prepare  men  and  women  for  the  whole  of  life  as 
citizens  of  the  world.  It  is  not  the  job  of  the 
church  college  to  prepare  its  graduates  to  work 
for  the  church  but  rather  to  be  the  church  in  the 
world.  The  church  is  in  the  business  of  education 
in  order  to  educate  its  people  for  service,  not  for 
some  selfish  amassing  of  knowledge  or  the  ac- 
cumulation of  prestige  and  economic  gain. 

The  college  offers  the  church  an  instrument 
by  which  it  might  exercise  its  prophetic  concern 


that  the  structures  and  forces  of  society  become 
wiser,  more  just  and  more  compassionate.  The 
college  as  the  arm  of  the  church  can,  if  it  wills 
to  do  so,  by  its  work  with  and  access  to  persons 
do  much  to  shape  the  character,  inform  the 
mind,  establish  the  policies,  and  set  the  values  of 
society  as  a  whole. 

Again  the  permanent  community  is  the 
model  for  the  college  community.  Above  all,  the 
faculty  must  take  the  lead,  for  the  college  years 
are  the  critical  years  for  students  when  they  be- 
gin to  establish  for  themselves  values  and  a  world 
view  which  will  color  their  lives  and  work  and 
affect  the  society  in  which  they  will  live  out 
their  lives.  Here  the  questions  the  church  must 
ask  about  its  educational  enterprise  are:  What 
kind  of  ethical  understanding  of  life  is  given  in 
the  college  community?  To  what  degree  does 
the  community  understand  its  citizenship  in 
global  terms  and  instill  a  sense  of  responsibility 
for  that  community  in  its  students?  How  does 
the  college  prod  and  help  all  who  have  a  part  in 
its  life,  whatever  their  creed,  to  view  life  with 
awe  and  to  regard  work  as  the  opportunity  for 
service? 


Sewanee  is  in  many  ways  at  a  crossroads  in 
its  life.  Like  many  small  institutions  it  struggles 
now  for  its  survival  in  the  economic  order.  It 
will,  however,  as  an  arm  of  the  Church  fail  if  it 
allows  itself  to  be  paralyzed  by  the  present  con- 
ditions and  seek  in  fear  to  return  to  the  past  or 
simply  preserve  the  status  quo.  If  it  is  to  move 
ahead  in  the  Kingdom  of  God  then  it  must  take 
seriously  the  question  of  its  own  internal  life  as 
a  Christian  community  and  its  participation  in  a 
world  community  which  is  rapidly  changing  and 
moving  in  ways  about  which  the  founders  in 
1858  would  have  never  dreamed.  Those  men, 
however,  left  the  Church  with  a  small  but  mighty 
arm  by  which  it  can  do  a  great  piece  of  its  work 
if  it  so  wills.

Sewanee  from  a  Great  Awakening 


by  the  Rev,  Donald  Armentrout 

The  religious  revival  which  swept  the  American 
colonies  in  the  eighteenth  century  (ca.  1720- 
1760)  is  known  as  the  Great  Awakening.  From 
1800  to  1835  another  revival  swept  the  eastern 
seaboard;  this  is  known  as  the  Second  Great 
Awakening.  This  Second  Great  Awakening  was 
partially  a  reaction  to  the  Rationalism  of  the 
Revolutionary  Era  (1775-1800).   One  majqr 
dimension  of  this  Awakening  was  the  effort  to 
Christianize  America  after  the  enactment  of 
disestablishment.  When  the  churches  in  America 
were  disestablished  it  was  decided  to  make 
America  Christian  by  persuasion.  The  primary 
agency  for  this  was  voluntary  societies  like 
the  American  Bible  Society  (1816).  Other 
agencies  were  publishing  houses  and  the  Sunday 
School  movement.  A  major  effort  was  also  made 
by  creating  educational  institutions,  primarily 
colleges  and  theological  seminaries. 

This  is  the  period  when  theological  seminaries 
were  first  established.  During  the  seventeenth 
and  eighteenth  centuries  the  native  trained  min- 
istry was  educated  at  Harvard,  Yale  and  Prince- 
ton. In  1784  the  first  theological  seminary  was 
established— the  New  Brunswick  Theological 
Seminary  by  the  Dutch  Reformed  in  New  Jersey. 
This  movement  really  flourished  during  the 
Second  Great  Awakening.  From  1808  (the 
founding  of  Andover  Theological  Seminary)  to 
1836  (the  founding  of  Union  Theological

Seminary,  New  York)  at  least  sixteen  permanent 
seminaries  were  established.  Two  of  these  were 
Episcopal:  General  Theological  Seminary  (1819), 
and  Virginia  Theological  Seminary  (1823), 

This  period  also  witnessed  an  unprecedented 
wave  of  college  building  under  the  auspices  of 
the  American  churches.  The  Episcopalians  also 
participated  in  this:  Hobart  (1822),  Trinity 
(1823),  and  Kenyon  (1824). 

First  Mention  of  the 
University  of  the  South 

This  is  the  context  into  which  the  idea  of  a 
southern  university  was  proposed.  At  the  fourth 
convention  of  the  Diocese  of  Tennessee,  at 
Nashville,  on  Saturday,  June  30,  1832,  the 
following  preamble  and  resolution  was  adopted: 

Whereas,  This  Convention  is  deeply  sensible  of 
the  great  want  of  Clergymen  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church  in  this  Diocese,  and  also  of  the  wants  of  our 
sister  churches  of  the  southern  and  southwestern  states 
generally;  And  whereas,  we  believe  that  the  interests  of 
this  church  can  only  be  advanced  in  those  sections  of  the 
Union  above  alluded  to,  by  providing  ministers  of  piety 
and  learning  to  labor  at  their  destitute  altars.  And  also, 
that  the  course  of  true  religion  and  learning  may  be  most 
effectually  promoted  by  providing  for  the  instruction  of 
those  who  are  preparing  for  holy  orders.  Therefore, 

1.)  Resolved,  That  this  convention  pledge  them- 
selves, if  funds  can  be  obtained,  to  establish,  at  some 
eligible  location  in  this  Diocese,  a  Classical  and  Theolo-' 
gical  Seminary  of  learning,  in  order  to  educate,  or  aid  in 
the  education  of  persons  who  are  desirous  of  obtaining 
holy  orders  (Journal  of  the  Diocese  of  Tennessee, 
1832,  p.  9) 

This  is  the  first  mention  of  what  was  to  be- 
come in  twenty-eight  years  (October  10,  1860), 
the  University  of  the  South.  It  is  obvious  that 
the  idea  of  the  University  was  born  in  the 
Episcopal  Church  and  that  theological  education 
was  to  be  one  of  its  primary  objectives.  Grad- 
ually this  idea  moved,  by  the  efforts  of  Bishops 
Otey,  Polk  and  Elliott,  from  a  diocesan  base  to 
include  all  ten  of  the  southern  dioceses.  Bishop 
Polk  expresses  most  clearly  the  proposed  uni- 
versity's relation  to  the  church:  "A  cardinal 
principle  in  the  whole  movement  would  of 
course  be,  that  the  institutions  would  be  de- 
claredly out-and-out  Episcopal,  founded  by 
the  Church  for  the  especial  benefit  of  her  own 
children,  or  the  advancement  of  learning  gener- 
ally, and  for  the  propagation  of  the  Gospel  as 
she  understands  it"  (Telfair  Hodgson,  ed. 
Reprints  of  Documents  .   .  .  Prior  to  1860, 
pp.  13-14). 

This  idea  was  incorporated  into  the  Consti- 
tution and  Statutes  of  the  University.  Article  I 
of  the  Constitution  reads ; 


This  University  shall  be  called  "The  University 
of  the  South,"  and  shall  in  all  its  parts  be  under  the  sole 
and  perpetual  direction  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church,  represented  through  a  Board  of  Trustees  (Re- 
prints, p.  174). 


A  Church  School  by 
Declaration  and 
by  Government 

The  trustees  are  the  Bishops  of  the  owning 
dioceses  (there  are  twenty-four  now)  and  one 
clergyman  and  two  lay  persons  from  each  of  the 
dioceses.  Gradually  faculty  and  alumni  trustees 
have  been  added.  The  University  of  the  South 
is  a  church  school  by  declaration  and  by  govern- 
ment. 

The  church  connection  is  also  maintained  by 
having  a  chaplain,  but  the  Statutes  do  not  act- 
ually state  that  he/she  must  be  an  Episcopalian. 

There  shall  be  a  Chaplain  to  the  University, 

who  may  hold  his  office  for  the  term  of  five  years 

He  shall  read,  every  day,  morning  prayers,  in  the 
University  Chapel,  shall  hold  the  usual  public  services 
on  Sunday,  and  shall  have  a  general  pastoral  oversight 
of  the  officers  and  students  of  the  University  (Reprints, 
p.  188). 

There  were  several  other  efforts  to  insure 
that  the  University  be  a  church  school.  In  1879 
the  Rev.  George  Patterson  presented  this  reso- 
lution: "Resolved,  That  no  person  shall  be  em- 
ployed as  a  Professor,  Teacher,  or  Tutor  in  this 
University  until  he  subscribe  the  following 
declaration:  'I  do  believe  the  Holy  Scriptures  of 
the  Old  and  New  Testament  to  be  the  Word  of 
God,  and  to  contain  all  things  necessary  to  sal- 
vation; and  I  do  solemnly  engage  to  conform 
to  the  doctrines,  discipline,  and  worship  of  the 
Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United 
States'  "  (Proceedings  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
1879,  p.  28).  Fortunately  this  did  not  pass. 

There  was  also  an  effort  in  the  early  days  to 
require  that  the  Vice-Chancellor  be  a  priest. 
This  also  was  rejected. 

The  University  of  the  South  has  always  been 
a  school  of  the  church.  The  mission  before  it 
now  is  to  realize  the  fullness  of  what  that 
means;  "...  a  university  founded  upon  Christian 
faith  and  the  teachings  of  Christ"  ("Convocation 
Address,  September  5,  1977,"  p.  4). 


The  Rev.  Donald  S.  Armentrout  is 
an  associate  professor  of  ecclesiasti- 
cal history  in  the  School  of  Theology. 
He  is  a  1961  graduate  of  Roanoke 
College  and  holds  advanced  degrees 
from  Gettysburg  Lutheran  Theolo- 
gical Seminary  and  Vanderbilt.  Cur- 
rently he  is  writing  a  history  of  the 
School  of  Theology  for  its  centennial 
celebration  next  year. 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


Last  Leaf  on  the  Tree 


by  Waring  McCrady 

The  same  church  which  founded  and  owns 
Sewanee  has  over  the  centuries  founded  and 
owned  more  than  fifty  other  such  colleges  or 
universities  in  the  United  States.  Of  these  gener- 
ally high-quality  schools,  Sewanee  alone  remains 
fully  owned,  supported,  and  ultimately  governed 
by  the  church.  In  every  other  case,  ownership 
has  been  relinquished,  support  alienated,  and 
government  either  entirely  disassociated  or  else 
(in  a  very  small  number  of  cases)  reduced  to  the 
inclusion  of  some  honorary  member  of  the  board 
and  perhaps  the  retention  of  an  Episcopal  chap- 
lain. Sewanee  is  the  last  leaf  on  the  tree,  the  sole 
survivor  of  the  Episcopally-founded  colleges. 
From  the  viewpoint  of  historical  inevitability, 
one  wonders  how  much  longer  this  remnant 
from  a  string  of  failures  can  continue  as  a 
church-owned  school. 

The  record  would  seem  to  indicate  that  the 
Episcopal  church  is  either  financially  incapable 
or  else  intellectually  unconcerned  when  it  comes 
to  supporting  higher  education.  Yet  it  is  an 
apparent  fact  of  American  sociology  that  the 
Episcopal  church  has  frequently  claimed  the 
membership  of  the  most  wealthy  and  best 
educated  people  wherever  it  has  thrived.  Why 
then  has  it  shown  so  little  continued  support 
for  higher  education?  And  can  it  be  expected  to 
continue  supporting  Sewanee? 

Two  observations  are  very  significant  here, 
and  unfortunately  they  both  represent  the  forces 
of  social  refinement  as  predominant  over  those 
of  theological  conviction. 

First;  the  Episcopal  church  has  largely  been 
identified  with  a  class  of  people  among  whom 
money  is  considered  to  be  a  vulgar  subject.  We 
do  not  like  to  beg;  we  find  it  very  distasteful  to 
display  in  public  what  percentage  or  what  abso- 
lute amount  we  are  giving  to  any  cause.  The 
discussion  of  one's  charity  and  of  money  in  gen- 
eral is  simply  not  good  manners.  As  a  result 
though  we  may  be  one  of  the  wealthiest  Christian 
groups  in  the  world,  per  capita,  we  nonetheless 
have  a  very  poor  record  in  group  financial 
support.  Colleges  are  not  the  only  things  we 
don't  support;  we  can  hardly  scrape  together 
enough  money  to  pay  our  clergy.  Every  year, 
the  Episcopal  church  closes  missions  for  lack  of 
funds.  Will  it  have  to  close  Sewanee? 


There  are  no  uniquely 
Episcopal  dogmas  to  teach 


Second:  Episcopalians  have  traditionally 
been  so  calm  and  so  rational  in  their  theology 
and  religious  behavior,  and  so  firm  in  their 
social  position,  that  it  has  not  been  in  their 
nature  to  make  any  display  of  promoting  or 
defending  their  position.  The  church  of  our  past 
was  confident  and  polite,  there  for  those  who 
wanted  it,  but  not  so  rude  as  to  pursue  anyone. 
Its  views  were  historically  proper  and  established ; 
it  felt  little  need,  therefore,  to  inculcate  or  defend 
them. 

This  lack  both  of  aggression  and  of  defensive- 
ness  derives  in  part  from  the  fact  that  the  Epis- 
copal church  has  never  claimed  any  denomina- 
tional distinction  that  needed  special  schooling 


or  promotion.  There  are  no  uniquely  Episcopal 
dogmas  to  teach.  If  the  Church  is  simply  a  ra- 
tional branch  of  the  universal  catholic  tradition, 
then  its  children  do  not  need  special  institutions; 
they  may  go  for  their  education  wherever  they 
please  and  need  not  be  defensive  about 
"denominational"  truths. 

For  many  Episcopalians,  there  may  be  no 
such  thing  as  Christian  education.  "Episcopal" 
education  is  even  less  likely.  A  person  may  be 
Christian  or  not,  but  quite  apart  from  that,  truth 
is  truth  and  education  is  education.  As  soon  as 
the  state  began  seriously  to  provide  the  latter, 
the  Episcopal  church  began  to  withdraw  from 
the  business  of  higher  education. 

Episcopalianism,  however,  has  not  been  ini- 
mical to  higher  education.  It  has  consistently 
been  a  cultured  group,  and  to  this  day  serious 


secular  schools  register  a  percentage  of  Episcopal 
students  which  is  far  in  excess  of  the  percentage 
of  Episcopalians  in  the  population  at  large.  The 
principal  reason  why  the  other  Episcopally- 
founded  schools  dropped  the  church  is  not  that 
the  church  restricted  them  intellectually  ;  it  is 
simply  that  the  church  did  not  support  them 
financially.  As  they  were  forced  increasingly  to 
look  elsewhere  for  support,  it  became  evident 
that  other  sources  were  suspicious  of  church- 
owned  schools.  The  schools  then  either  yielded 
and  closed  their  doors,  or  else  they  survived  by 
severing  their  church  connection. 

This  frequently  repeated  phenomenon  raises 
two  questions:  why  is  there  so  little  outside  sup- 
port for  church-owned  schools,  and  why  has  this 
history  not  repeated  itself  at  Sewanee? 


DECEMBER  1977 


Outside  sources  do  not  in  general  support 
education  under  church  auspices  primarily  be- 
cause such  education  is  generally  not  academic- 
ally respectable.  Most  church  schools  at  the 
college  level  aren't  very  good,  or  at  least  they  are 
not  of  the  quality  to  which  Sewanee  aspires. 
Why?  Because  to  most  Americans,  education 
with  a  prejudice,  education  with  a  drum  to  beat, 
doesn't  sound  like  education  in  the  full  freedom 
of  truth  which  we  like  to  associate  with  the 
liberal  arts.  This  is  for  Sewanee  doubly  ironic. 


This  church  has  a  long 
history  of  rational  thinking, 
high  standards,  and 
reasonable  attitudes 


On  the  one  hand,  even  the  most  adamantly 
secular  schools  are  prejudiced  by  definition.  To 
rule  out  the  immense  heritage  of  theology  and 
the  serious  debate  of  ethical  values  is  prejudice 
indeed.  And  any  school  is  slanting  its  education 
if  it  offers  European  history  and  not  Chinese,  if 
it  requires  math  and  not  music,  if  it  either  allows 
or  forbids  fraternal  organizations,  and  so  on.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  Episcopal  church  is  probably 
less  guilty  of  anti-intellectualism  than  most  any 
other  owners  could  be.  This  church  has  a  long 
history  of  rational  thinking,  high  standards,  and 
reasonable  attitudes.  It  has  not  been  hampered 
by  doctrinal  narrowness,  or  at  least  no  more  so 
than  the  secular  state.  Evolution  was  taught  at 
Sewanee  from  the  very  first  (and  by  churchmen) 
and  continued  to  be  taught  here  throughout  the 
period  that  it  was  illegal  in  the  State  schools.  In 
fact  Sewanee  has  never  come  under  attack  for 
conflict  of  doctrinal  narrowness  with  academic 
freedom.  If  there  is  any  abuse  of  influence  here, 
it  may  lie  in  the  other  direction:  academic  free- 
dom at  Sewanee  has  not  entirely  done  justice  to 
the  church. 

It  is  a  peculiar  fact  that  a  Sewanee  education 
can  be  and  often  is  entirely  secular.  The  student 
may  choose  to  let  it  be,  and  many  students  do 
so  choose.  Even  our  religion  department  is  as 
secular  as  those  of  the  state  schools,  and  con- 
sciously so.  The  church  is  not  guilty  of  threaten- 
ing or  weakening  the  intellectual  scene  at 
Sewanee.  On  the  contrary,  the  school  has  been 
allowed  for  many  years  virtually  to  ignore  the 
church. 

The  church,  as  an  institution  with  genuine 
purpose  and  limited  funds,  must  seriously  consi- 
der whether  it  is  "getting  its  money's  worth" 
from  its  considerable  investment  in  Sewanee.  In 
more  casual  days  it  may  have  seemed  justification 
enough  to  support  a  school  of  cultural  and 
social  refinement  just  because  it  was  a  good  thing, 
a  discriminating  school,  as  it  were,  ad  maiorem 
Dei  gloriam.  After  all,  whatever  is  good  and  true 
must  be  pleasing  to  God.  This  argument,  how- 
ever, would  also  justify  the  church's  owning  and 
operating  a  ballet  company,  a  distillery,  or  a 


cricket  team,  providing,  of  course,  that  they  all 
be  of  the  highest  standards.  Evidently,  the 
founders  had  something  more  purposeful  in 
mind,  and  the  institution  they  proposed  was  to 
be  distinctly  an  arm  of  the  church. 

Professors  and  students  who  chose  to  come 
to  Sewanee  in  its  first  twenty  or  thirty  years  did 
so  primarily  because  it  was  a  church  school.  One 
wonders  (but  politely  does  not  ask)  how  many 
faculty  or  students  come  here  today  because  it  is 
a  church  institution.  It  is  all  too  obvious  that 
many  (by  no  means  all)  come  in  spite  of  that 
identification. 

Such  a  naughty  comment  should  be  quickly 
followed  by  a  reminder  that  Sewanee  is  today  as 
religiously  oriented  as  it  has  been  for  the  past 
fifty  years  (or  longer).  There  is  even  some  im- 
provement. Yet  the  question  remains  whether 
for  these  fifty  or  more  years  Sewanee  has  had 
the  sort  of  significance  to  the  church's  mission 
that  its  founders  intended  and  that  its  support 
implies.  Having  dropped  so  many  other  schools, 
why  has  the  church  continued  to  support  this 
place  where  the  religious  influence  in  education 
is  for  the  most  part  vestigial? 

Probably  the  most  elementary  factors  in  the 
church's  continued  ownership  of  Sewanee  lie  in 
legalisms.  To  begin  with,  by  special  enactment 
of  the  Tennessee  legislature  the  University  is 
chartered  specifically  "to  be  under  the  control 
and  government  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church."  The  constitution  asserts  that  "it 
must  in  all  parts  be  under  the  sole  and  per- 
petual control  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church."  In  addition,  the  charter  specifies  that 
all  donations  or  bequests  (etc.)  to  the  University 
made  "upon  the  faith"  of  the  Constitution 
cannot  be  altered  even  if  the  Constitution 
should  be  changed.  In  other  words,  since  a  large 
majority  of  the  funds  given  to  Sewanee  (parti- 
cularly those  for  buildings)  have  always  been 
and  still  are  given  because  this  is  a  church  uni- 
versity, even  a  constitutional  change  would  not 
allow  their  being  used  for  purposes  other  than 
as  the  church  shall  govern. 

Furthermore,  there  is  very  little  likelihood  of 
creeping  secularism  in  the  ultimate  government 
of  the  school,  since  the  Board  of  Trustees  (in 
whom  all  authority  is  vested)  is  required  by  the 
constitution  to  be  over  98  per  cent  elected 
directly  from  and  by  the  church.  Clearly,  then, 
the  church  is  and  will  be  in  control  here  until 
such  time  as  it  decides  of  its  own  will  that  this 
educational  endeavor  is  not  worth  continuing. 
It  is  a  connection  which  cannot  lightly  be  tossed 
off. 

It  may  be  suggested  that  one  reason  the 
trustees  have  done  so  little  to  promote  the 
"trust"  placed  in  them  by  the  church  is  that  their 
terms  of  office  are  too  short.  Meetings  are  not 
frequent,  and  a  trusteeship  can  easily  expire  be- 
fore the  individual  has  had  time  to  take  a  serious 
interest  in  the  school. 


It  is,  after  all,  the  secular 
schools  that  are  limited 
by  their  prohibitions 


Times  and  conditions  are  changing.  The 
Episcopal  church  is  not  going  to  continue  in- 
definitely running  a  school  here  simply  because 
it  is  a  good  school.  There  are  plenty  of  good 
schools.  In  the  more  democratic  and  more  realis- 
tic future,  in  the  epoch  of  the  tightened  belt,  the 
church  will  support  Sewanee  only  if  that  support 
effects  the  offering  of  a  truly  Christian  education. 
We  must  offer  a  liberal  education  of  the  highest 
quality,  made  even  richer  than  is  possible  in  the 
paralysis  of  secular  restrictions.  It  is,  after  all, 
the  secular  schools  that  are  limited  by  their 
prohibitions.  The  Christian  school  has  the  op- 
portunity and  the  obligation,  indeed,  the  mission, 
of  treating  every  subject  in  full  recognition  of 
its  implications  to  values  and  morals.  This  is 
intelligent  involvement  in  a  genuinely  ultimate 
sense. 

Of  course  we  cannot  require  belief,  or  im- 
pose adherence,  or  expect  uniformity.  But  if  the 
gospel  of  Christianity  has  any  truth  and  worth, 
then  the  church  should  want  and  need  to  pro- 
mote most  vigorously  a  unique  institution  where 
openness  of  inquiry  and  delight  in  freedom  can 
be  fully  and  richly  nourished  by  active  concern 
with  ultimate  values.  In  fact,  if  the  church  is  not 
interested  in  such  a  program,  then  it  has  lost  a 
large  part  of  its  heritage  and  purpose. 

The  future  is  not  bright  for  a  church  which 
claims  truth  but  hasn't  the  interest  or  conviction 
to  offer  its  claim  to  inquisitive  youth.  The  future 
is  not  bright  for  Sewanee  if  we  do  not  actively 
seek  both  faculty  and  students,  whatever  their 
religious  persuasion,  who  find  this  special  brand 
of  cultural  environment  attractive.  We  must 
attract  and  serve  people  from  every  background, 
but  we  must  deliberately  appeal  to  those  who 
are  genuinely  interested  in  the  Christian  chal- 
lenges involved  in  every  aspect  of  learning.  This 
is  our  real  value  and  our  real  opportunity  within 
the  generous  and  intelligent  latitude  of  the  ra- 
tional Episcopal  tradition. 

If  Sewanee  can  grow  more  fully  into  this 
role,  as  the  founders  intended,  it  can  thrive. 
Such  a  product  is  marketable,  such  a  mission  is 
valid,  and  such  a  school  would  be  unique.  If, 
however,  we  continue  in  uninspired  imitation  of 
the  secular  schools,  we  are  on  the  losing  end  of 
a  fierce  competition,  we  do  not  justify  our  exis- 
tence, and  we  probably  cannot  keep  our  support.

COLLEGE  SPORTS 


THE  SEWANEE  NEWS 


Coach  Shirley  Majors  paces  the 
sidelines  in  his  last  home  game, 
a  34-6  victory  over  Principia. 


The  Quarter 
of  Sunshine 

The  grid  season  at  Sewanee  was  not 
all  sunshine  and  champagne  this 
year,  but  fans  may  be  telling  stories 
for  a  long  time  about  the  last  quar- 
ter of  the  Austin  College  game  when 
the  young  Tigers  of  1977  suddenly 
found  an  offense  and  leapt  (almost 
literally)  from  the  jaws  of  defeat. 

Coach  Shirley  Majors  had  told 
us  to  be  patient  this  year,  and  the 
loyal  began  to  understand  after  two 
games  without  a  score,  much  less  a 
victory.  The  drought  went  on  to  10 
quarters,  then  into  the  12th  as  Aus- 
tin College  built  a  21-0  lead  and 
seemed  ready  to  give  us  short  shrift 
and  go  back  to  Texas. 

The  sky  over  Sewanee  was  get- 
ting that  gray-aftemoon  look  when 
freshman  quarterback  Tom  Clark 
hit  "old  pro"  Nino  Austin  with  a 
31-yard  pass  inside  the  visitors'  20. 
Two  plays  later  Ricky  Dale  Harper, 
a  gung-ho  runningback,  snagged  a 
pass  in  the  end  zone  for  Sewanee's 
first  score  of  the  season. 

A  metallic  roar  rose  out  of  the 
student  section  where  feet  pounded 
the  stands.  Fans  on  the  fence  paused 
in  their  conversations. 


Moments  later  Stephen  Puckette 
recovered  a  fumble  on  the  Austin 

19.  Clark  quickly  hit  Harper  again 
in  the  end  zone,  and  the  score  was 
21-12. 

The  Kangaroos  then  started  a 
more  serious  drive  until  Puckette 
found  another  fumble.  The  Tigers 
had  to  punt  but  quickly  got  the  ball 
back  when  Grayson  Hall  fell  on  a 
loose  ball  at  the  visitors'  10.  On 
first  down,  Clark  zinged  one  off 
Nino  Austin's  fingertips  at  the  back 
of  the  end  zone.  But  Harper  made  a 
circus  catch  on  second  down,  and 
Sewanee  was  only  three  points  be- 
hind. 

With  seven  minutes  to  play, 
Sewanee  began  a  drive  to  the  Austin 

20,  losing  the  ball  on  downs,  but 
on  the  next  play,  Puckette  stripped 
an  Austin  runner  of  the  ball.  Paul 
Minor  recovered  it  on  the  19. 

With  Mark  Lawrence  replacing 
Clark  at  quarterback,  the  Tigers 
gained  short  yardage  in  two  plays. 
Then  Lawrence  came  back  with  a 
pass,  going  oyer  the  middle  to  Har- 
per, who  lunged  over  a  defender 
into  the  end  zone,  and  Sewanee  led 
24-21. 

Don't  go  home,  fans.  Austin 
still  had  time  to  drive  almost  the 
length  of  the  field  before  the  Tigers 
took  over  on  their  own  six  with  49 
seconds  to  play. 

With  special  recognition  being 
given  to  his  younger  heroes,  Coach 
Majors  praised  Nino  Austin  and  Joe 
Shults,  his  premier  pass  catchers, 
for  guiding  enemy  defenders  away 
from  Harper. 


Tigers  Have 
Muscle  (Brains) 

Among  the  lessons  Don  Millington 
learned  in  his  first  year  as  Tiger 
basketball  coach,  the  most  impor- 
tant may  have  been  to  take  advan- 
tage of  his  players'  brains. 

"My  basic  philosophy  is  to 
stick  to  one  offense  and  one  de- 
fense," Coach  Millington  said.  "If 
you  play  the  man-to-man,  you  live 
or  die  with  the  man-to-man. 

"But  last  year  that  didn't  work. 
With  the  caliber  of  ball  we  play, 
we've  got  to  keep  the  opposition 
guessing,"  he  said. 

So  this  season  the  Tigers  will  do 
a  lot  of  different  things  offensively 
and  defensively. 

"If  our  kids  were  not  as  intel- 
ligent, we  couldn't  do  that,  but  it's 
working,"  he  said. 

Coach  Millington  has  another 
advantage  this  year.  The  Tigers  have 
experience.  All  five  starters  from 
last  season  are  back,  including  all- 
district  center  Harry  Cash,  who  tied 
a  Sewanee  single-season  rebound

record  last  year  and  is  eighth  on

Even  so,  Sewanee  won't  neces- 
sarily have  the  same  starters  this 
winter.  The  old  reserves  and  two  or 
three  freshmen  are  pushing  the 
front  line. 

Although  Coach  Millington  is 
non-committal  on  what  sort  of 
record  he  expects  this  year,  he  ob- 
viously wants  an  improvement  on 
last  season's  9-15  record.  Rose- 
Hulman  won  the  conference  title 
with  an  8-0  mark  last  year,  but  this 
year  Coach  Millington  says  the 
winner  could  easily  be  6-2  or  even 
5-3.    Sewanee   might   be   there. 

Leaving  Them 
in  Our  Wake 

None  of  Sewanee's  athletic  teams 
has  enjoyed  quite  as  much  success 
recently  as  the  canoe  team,  which 
this  fall  on  the  Catawba  River  in 
North  Carolina  won  the  South- 
eastern Intercollegiate  Canoe  Cham- 
pionships for  the  sixth  consecutive 
year. 

Incidentally,  the  championships 
have  been  held  for  only  six  years. 

Sewanee  swamped  12  other 
teams  for  the  title,  and  the  hero 
was  a  coed,  the  University's  first 
student  woman  trustee  ever— 
Catherine  (Cat)  Potts,  a  junior 
physics  major  (so  she'll  be  back 
next  year).

Sports  Briefs 

"We  have  the  youngest  wrestling 
team  in  the  U.  S.,"  said  Coach 
Horace  Moore,  whose  squad  will 
open  the  1978  season  in  the  Mid- 
South  Tournament  January  27-28 
at  Middle  Tennessee  State  Univer- 
sity. 

The  Tigers  are  without  a  single 
senior  and  have  one  junior  on  the 
team;  so  there  is  an  air  of  uncertain- 
ty this  season.  Nevertheless,  Tom 
Jenkins  of  East  Ridge,  Tennessee, 
who  wrestled  last  season  in  the 
142-pound  class,  should  be  one  of 
two  or  three  to  qualify  for  the 
nationals.  Sewanee  was  6-5  last 
year. 


The  Sewanee  swimming  team  is 
thin  this  season.  It's  a  recurrent 
theme  for  Tiger  varsity  squads. 

Scott  Ferguson,  an  All- American 
two  years  ago,  is  back  to  captain 
the  team,  despite  being  a  junior, 
and  Earl  Ware,  a  freshman  from 
Tampa,  gives  the  squad  some  youth- 
ful strength.  But  Coach  Ted  Biton- 
do  has  only  nine  swimmers  and  two 
divers  out  for  the  team.  Six  are 
freshmen,  and  only  Ware  among 
them  had  high  school  experience. 

A  12-member  women's  gymnastics 
team  has  started  practice  under 
Coach  Marian  England  for  the  1978 
season  that  opens  in  late  January. 
Kathy  Herbert,  a  Nashville  sopho- 
more, is  a  top  prospect  in  all  three 
events— floor  exercise,  balance 
beam,  and  uneven  bar.  Sewanee  will 
meet  Furman,  Maryville  and  the 
University  of  Tennessee  at  Martin 
in   home-and-home   competition, 
aiming  to  improve  on  last  season's 
3-3  record. 

With  the  second  official  season  of 
Sewanee  women's  basketball  under 
way,  Coach  Pam  Lampley  notes  a 
100-per-cent  better  outlook.  Her 
seniors,  Becky  Jordan  of  River 
Ridge,  Louisiana,  Jeanne  Dortch  of 
Nashville,  and  Bett  Stogsdill  of 
Rembert,  South  Carolina,  are  pro- 
viding leadership.  The  squad  is  play- 
ing some  fast  break  and  tight  "man- 
to-man"  defense.

Ayres  Given   Leadership  Award 

Robert  M.  Ayres,  the  acting  vice- 
chancellor,  was  honored  along  with 
16  other  persons  October  31  in 
Nashville  at  the  27th  annual  meet- 
ing of  the  Religious  Heritage  of 
America. 

Mr.  Ayres  was  presented  the 
"Business  and  Professional  Leader 
of  the  Year  Award"  in  recognition 
of  the  "impact  he  has  made  on  na- 
tional and  community  life  through 
the  application  of  principles  of  our 
religious  heritage." 

The  awards  dinner,  climaxing  a 
three-day  gathering  by  the  associa- 
tion, was  held  at  the  Hyatt  Regency 
Ballroom. 

Other  award  winners  included 
Andrew  Athens,  president  of  Metron 
Steel  Corp.,  Chicago;  Nathan  Hub- 
ley,  president  of  Carters  Ink  Co., 
Cambridge,    Massachusetts;    Dr. 
Robert  Schuller,  clergyman,  lecturer 
and  syndicated  columnist,  and  Mrs. 
Henry  Cannon  (Minnie  Pearl). 

Fine  Distinction 

Being  Christian  is  not  exactly  being 
like  Jesus,  the  Rev.  C.  FitzSimons 
Allison  admonished  his  audience, 
during  the  DuBose  Lectures  this  fall. 
And  he  told  the  story  of  a  church- 
man, pondering  a  difficult  problem, 
saying  to  another:  "What  would 
Jesus  have  done  in  this  situation?" 
"Jesus,"  the  second  person  an- 
swered, "would  not  have  gotten 
himself  into  this  situation." 

Popular  Authors 

A  survey  among  200  clergy  attend- 
ing the  College  of  Preachers  in 
Washington,  D.   C.  showed  that 
among  the  most  frequently  read 
authors,  two  are  members  of  the 
School  of  Theology  faculty  at 
Sewanee— the  Very  Rev.  Urban  T. 
Holmes,  dean  of  the  school,  and 
the   Rev.   Marion  J.    Hatchett. 


Culture  in  High  Gear 

The  Experimental  Film  Club  at 
Sewanee  has  had  a  full  season  this 
semester  with  weekly  showings  of 
foreign  and  American  films,  many 
of  them  award  winners. 

As  Scott  Bates,  professor  of 
French  and   faculty  coordinator, 
said  at  one  showing,  these  are  films 
that  have  had  their  greatest  influence 
on  other  film  makers. 

One  of  the  first  films  of  the  year 
was  "Occurence  at  Owl  Creek 
Bridge,"  a  stunning  interpretation 
of  Ambrose  Bierce's  story  of  a  Civil 
War  hanging. 

This  was  part  of  the  Art  of  the 
Short  Film  series  made  available  to 
the  University  through  the  South 
Carolina  Arts  Commission. 

Art  exhibitions  are  regular  fare 
this  year  at  at  least  three  locations 
on  the  University  Campus— the  Fine 
Arts  Gallery  in  Guerry  Hall,  St. 
Luke's  Gallery  in  Bairnwick  and  the 
Bishop's  Common  Gallery. 

In  the  Fine  Arts  Gallery,  a 
showing  of  sculpture  and  drawings 
by  Worden  Day,  visiting  professor 
and  artist,  was  followed  by  an  ex- 
hibition of  drawings  and  prints  by 
Chandler  Cowden  and  Angelo  Corte 
of  Washington,  D.  C,  and  ceramic 
sculpture  by  Roy  Overcast  of  Nash- 
ville, an  artist  with  the  Tennessee 
Arts  Commission. 

The  sculpture  of  Barbara  Hughes 
of  Sewanee  and  religious  paintings 
by  Gloria  Thomas  were  displayed  in 
Bairnwick  this  fall.  The  major 
Bishop's  Common  show  of  the  fall 
was   a   one-man  exhibition   by 
Michael  Smith  of  Southern  Illinois 
University  at  Edwardsville. 

Flutes  Featured 

The  Sewanee  Summer  Music  Center 
was  featured  in  the  last  issue  of  a 
national  music  magazine  entitled 
Woodwind  World,  which  goes  to 
teachers  and  performers  of  wood- 
wind, brass  and  percussion. 

The  Flute  Choir  of  the  Music 
Center  was  pictured  on  the  cover, 
and  the  article  inside  gave  credit  to 
the  Center  and  Martha  McCrory, 
director,  for  premiering  works  for 
flute  choir. 

Participating  in  performances 
with  the  Flute  Choir  as  guest  faculty 
members  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mark 
Thomas.  Mr.  Thomas,  in  addition 
to  giving  concerts  worldwide,  is

No  Cold  Blood,  Please 

University  students  contributed  the 
bulk  of  321  pints  of  blood  for  the 
November  Red  Cross  Bloodmobile 
visit. 

The  total  easily  exceeded  the 
goal  of  250  pints,  and  450  volun- 
teers were  turned  away  because 
they  had  colds  or  had  been  taking 
antibiotics.  A  bit  earlier  in  the  year 
and  the  Red  Cross  would  have  had 
to  bring  another  truck. 

Shakespeare  Visit 

The  duPont  Library  displayed  this 
fall  the  Folger  Shakespeare  Library 
Exhibit,  which  included  the  original 
edition   of  Midsummer  Night's 
Dream,  published  in  1600,  and  a 
copy  of  each  of  the  first  four  folios 
published  between  1623  and  1685. 
Sewanee  was  the  only  place  in 
Tennessee  these  works  were  exhi- 
bited. 

An  Old  Acquaintance 

Former  Senator  Margaret  Chase 
Smith  of  Maine  visited  Sewanee  in

the  Woodrow  Wilson  Foundation. 
She  delivered  a  public  lecture  on 
"Women  in  Power  Politics"  and 
spoke  to  a  political  science  class. 


Coventry  Visitors 

Three  guests  from  Coventry  Cathe- 
dral in  England  visited  Sewanee  in 
November,  during  the  week  of  re- 
conciliation of  the  Community  of 
the  Cross  of  Nails. 

They  were  the  Rev.  Kenyon 
Wright,  canon  of  Coventry,  the 
Very  Rev.  H.  C.  N.  Williams,  cathe- 
dral provost,  and  the  Rev.  Eloise  E.

COOK'S  CHOICE 

OF  ACADEMY  NEWS 


by  Anne  Cook 

The   Academy  homecoming  had  great  potential  for  disaster  this  year. 

For  the  first  time  parents  and  alumni  returned  on  the  same  weekend. 
At  the  local  inns  parents,  desirous  of  a  good  night's  rest,  were  housed  near 
alumni,  devoted  to  camaraderie,  which  usually  gets  better  as  the  hour 
grows  later.  We  winced  slightly.  At  least  all  the  motel  rooms  were  filled, 
indicating  a  good  turnout. 

Saturday  arrived— a  dark  and  rain-filled  day.  Parked  at  crazy  angles, 
cars  formed  a  jagged  line  up  the  driveway  to  Hamilton  Hall.  License  plates 
represented  more  than  a  dozen  states. 

Inside  Hamilton  alumni  met,  then  crisscrossed  the  halls  with  parents 
on  their  way  to  classrooms.  Students  zipped  around  the  halls,  proud  to 
be  showing  their  school  to  younger  brothers  or  sisters. 

Overheard  at  the  art  exhibition: 

"Now,  Mother,  which  do  you  truly  think  is  the  best  picture?  I'll  give 
you  a  hint,  look  upper  left." 

The  weather  grew  steadily  worse,  as  parents  struggled  to  keep  appoint- 
ments and  meetings  began  to  run  late.  Before  noon,  a  power  blackout  that 
affected  the  whole  mountain  plunged  lower  Cravens  into  darkness.  Stu- 
dents and  faculty  sat  in  the  gloom  of  an  unlit  stage  for  Task  Force  presen- 
tations to  alumni  and  parents. 

"What  can  I  say,"  observed  headmaster  Rod  Welles  by  way  of  intro- 
duction, "it's  so  nice  not  to  see  you?" 

Dressed  like  a  French  film  director,  Latin  instructor  Ralph  Waldron 
kept  appearing  out  of  nowhere,  worried  that  the  audience  would  fail  to 
see  the  humor  in  a  skit  Task  Force  One  had  prepared. 

#The  kitchen  in  upper  Cravens  was  preparing  to  serve  400  parents, 
students,  alumni,  and  friends  when  the  blackout  occurred.  Said  Jane 
Gallaher,  food  service  director,  "Your  rolls  won't  be  heated,  that's  the 
only  thing." 

Four  hundred  were  expected,  but  500  shared  a  chicken  and  roast- 
beef  buffet.  Remarks  by  the  headmaster  and  vice-chancellor  set  the 
task  of  raising  $150,000  upon  alumni  and  parents  if  the  Academy  is  to 
maintain  its  mark  of  excellence. 

Many  Academy  grads  found  the  new  museum  in  the  old  Quintard 
chapel  a  nostalgic  experience.  The  brainchild  of  Everett  Smith,  the. 
museum  has  pictures,  uniforms,  flags,  and  annuals  from  military  days 
to  the  present.  It  proved  to  be  a  fine  place  to  spend  a  rainy  afternoon, 
especially  when  the  football  game  had  to  be  postponed  because  the 
field  was  under  water.  When  power  was  restored  to  the  mountain,  the 
museum  featured  a  film  of  the  cadet  corps  made  in  the  late  sixties. 

That  evening  the  driving  rain  changed  to  a  gentle  mist.  Dancing  in 
lower  Cravens  brought  to  an  end  a  day  saturated  with  opportunity  and 
raindrops. 

One  suggestion,  if  you  plan  on  coming  next  year— bring  a  raincoat 
and  a  flashlight! 

Mrs.  Cook  is  the  wife  of  the  Academy's  dean  of  students. 


That  the  Panama  Canal  has  become 
prominent  in  the  news  leads  those 
around  Sewanee  to  recall  that  the 
famous  Maj.  Gen.  William  C.  Gorgas 
was  a  graduate  of  Sewanee  Military 
Academy   and  'the   University's 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  (Class 
of  1875). 

It  was  the  work  of  Gorgas  in 
eradicating  yellow  fever  and  malaria 
in  Panama  that  made  construction 
of  the  canal  possible.  The  French 
had  abandoned  their  own  canal 
project  a  few  years  before  because 
yellow  fever  was  killing  workmen 
by  the  thousands. 

While  a  student  at  the  Academy, 
young  Gorgas  had  his  first  serious 
contact  with  yellow  fever  when  he 
and  three  classmates  answered  a 
call  for  medical  assistance  in  New 
Orleans,  where  there  was  an 
epidemic.  Two  of  the  cadets  died 
of  the  disease. 

Years   later,   after   finishing 
medical  school  at  Bellevue  Hospital 


That  Gears 
Will  Mesh 

John    V.    Wendling,    Academy 
physics  instructor,  is  now  the 
liaison  faculty  member  between  the 
Academy  and  the  University  main- 
tenance department. 

Until  this  year  the  Academy  has 
been  responsible  for  its  own  main- 
tenance. However,  with  the  start  of 
the  new  academic  year,  Wendling 
has  been  setting  priorities  with 
George  Hoback,  supervisor  of  main- 
tenance personnel  at  the  Academy, 
and  operations  are  being  meshed. 
Hoback  has  been  an  Academy 
employe  for  34  years. 

Major  responsibilities  are  over- 
seeing the  care  of  vehicles  and 
dining-hall  facilities.  For  Wendling, 
these  come  in  addition  to  his 
coordination  of  the  student  self- 
help  program  and  duties  in  the 
classroom,  dormitories  and  non- 
academic  student  activities. 

Some  maintenance  repairs  are 
made  in  the  Academy  physics  lab 
where  Wendling  practices  photog- 
raphy and  occasionally  helps  stu- 
dents repair  their  stereo  equipment. 


(now  a  part  of  New  York  Univer- 
sity) and  joining  the  Army  Medical 
Corps,  it  seemed  disaster  had  struck 
when  Gorgas  contracted  yellow 
fever  himself.  It  turned  out  to  be 
a  blessing  in  disguise.  He  recovered, 
and  his  immunity  made  him  eligible 
for  service  in  the  yellow  fever  areas. 

He  was  a  middle-aged,  virtually 
unknown  Army  doctor,  however, 
when  he  went  to  Cuba  to  attempt 
to  help  with  that  country's  acute 
yellow  fever  problem.  Within  a 
short  time  he  was  credited  with 
ridding  Cuba  and  parts  of  the 
Southern  United  States  of  yellow 
fever.  Essentially  he  drained  the 
swamps    where    the    stegomyia 
mosquito,  carrier  of  the  disease, 
was  breeding. 

Sent  to  Panama  as  chief  sanita- 
tion officer,  Gorgas  performed  the 
same  sort  of  feat.  It  was  an  ac- 
complishment in  human  engineer- 
ing, it  was  said,  as  impressive  as 
construction  of  the  canal  itself. 

Before  his  death  in  1920,  Gen. 
Gorgas  had  an  international  repu- 
tation  exceeded,   perhaps,   only 
by  the  fame  of  Presidents  Theodore 
Roosevelt  and  Woodrow  Wilson. 
He  died  in  England,  was  knighted 
on  his  deathbed  by  King  George  V, 
and  his  body  was  returned  to 
the  United  States  on  a  British 
man-of-war. 

Gorgas  had  close  ties  with 
Sewanee  from  childhood.  His  father 
was  Confederate  Brig.  Gen.  Josiah 
Gorgas,  who  was  headmaster  of 
the  Academy  and  University  vice- 
chancellor. 

The    younger   Gorgas    was 
offered    the    vice-chancellorship 
himself  in  1912.  Though  saying  he 
wished  to  retire  someday  to  Sewa- 
nee, he  chose  instead  to  go  to 
South  Africa,  where  his  report  on 
health  conditions  in  the  Kimberley 
area  was  credited   with   saving 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  lives.  He 
was  later  named  U.  S.  surgeon 
general. 

His  accomplishments  are  com- 
memorated in  stained  glass  in  All 
Saints'  Chapel.  Gorgas  Hall  at  the 
Academy  honors  him  and  his  father.

TEE  Needs  No  Sugar 


Probably  no  program  at  the  School 
of  Theology  in  Sewanee  has  stirred 
quite  as  much  excitement  off  the 
mountain  as  Theological  Education 
by  Extension. 

First,  it's  a  program  for  lay 
people.  That  immediately  puts  the 
seminary  much  closer  to  parishion- 
ers, who  have  traditionally  known 
of  the  school,  if  at  all,  only  through 
their  priests. 

Second,  the  course  is  so  inten- 
sive- in  Biblical  and  theological 
study  and  so  relevant  to  the  every- 
day lives  of  people,  the  extension 
students  themselves  are  spreading 
the  fame  of  Sewanee. 

In  less  than  three  years  of  its 
existence,  the  extension  program 
is  reaching  169  mentor  groups  and 
1,400  lay  people  in  the  United 
States  and  abroad— as  far  north  as 
Alaska  and  as  far  south  as  Nicara- 
gua—and a  group  in  Australia  will 
soon  be  included.  Spanish  trans- 
lation of  the  course  material  is 
being  considered. 

The  development  of  the  pro- 
gram has  been  guided  from  its  in- 
ception by  the  Rev.  Charles  Winters. 
He  has  taught  at  Sewanee  for  22 
years,  preparing  students  for  ordi- 
nation, but  he  calls  his  work  with 
the  TEE  program  "the  most  grati- 
fying thing  I  have  ever  done." 

The  concept  of  the  extension 
program  grew  out  of  the  1960s 
when  enrollment  in  seminaries  was 
down.  The  question  arose,  Dr. 
Winters  said:   "What  are  we  in 
business  for?" 

Notice  was  taken  of  a  program 
in  Guatemala,  where  a  Presbyterian 
seminary  was  being  "taken  to  the 
students."  Sewanee  proposed, 
however,  to  develop  a  course  for 
laity,  and  two  years  to  develop  the 
program  were  planned. 

Word  got  around.  The  bishop  of 
Alabama  told  Sewanee  leaders:  "I 
don't  want  to  wait  for  any  develop- 
ment program,  I  want  it  now." 
Demand  became  so  strong,  Dr. 
Winters  faced  a  crisis  of  preparing 
material  and  organizing  groups. 

When  Flower  Ross,  Dr.  Winters' 
administrative  assistant,  arrived  in 
July  1976  to  help  with  the  load, 
the  program  was  practically  at  sea 
in  St.  Luke's  Hall,  home  of  the 
seminary.  Work  was  done  where 
space  could  be  found  for  the 
moment.  The  Lay  ministry  pro- 
gram now  is  housed  in  Bairnwick 
Center,  a  Sewanee-style  brown- 
stone   house   about   100   yards 
behind  St.  Luke's  Hall. 

While  it  was  estimated  the 
program   might  gross  at   best 
$50,000  a  year,  total  receipts 
this  past  year  were  $161,000. 


It  is  a  time  of  the  rising  laity, 
Dr.  Winters  said.  The  laity  wants 
more  than  it  has  been  getting  in 
theological  training— in  Biblical 
study  and  lay-ministry  develop- 
ment. "These  people  have  been 
starving,"  Dr.  Winters  said. 

The  academic  food  for  these 
new  students  has  a  characteristic 
Sewanee  flavor. 

"Essentially,  we  are  bottling  the 
curriculum  used  in  the  School  of 
Theology,"  Dr.  Winters  explained, 
although     Flower    Ross    said 
"bottling"  makes  it  sound  easier 
than  it  is. 

The  basic  four-year  course  is 
organized  around  mentor  groups, 
meeting  once  a  week  or  twice  a 
month  and  led  by  specially  trained 
mentors,  most  of  whom  are  clergy, 
persons  with  a  background  in  theo- 
logical education.  A  group  may  be 
sponsored  by  a  church  or  non- 
church  organization  or  individuals. 

Each  student  reads  and  studies 
at  home.  In  the  mentor-group  meet- 
ings, however,  discussions  are  aimed 
at  relating  the  material  to  the  lives 
of  the  students— at  developing  their 
personal  lay  ministries. 

The  study  material  tells  the 
story  of  the  people  of  God  chrono- 
logically from  earliest  times  to  the 
present,  weaving  into  that  story  the 
theological,  liturgical,  and  ethical 
lessons  of  mankind.  It  is  an  inten- 
sive study  in  the  Judaeo-Christian 
tradition,  and  it  requires  a  commit- 
ment—three  to  five  hours  of  home 
study  a  week. 

In  the  context  of  the  mentor 
groups,  however,  the  program  is 
"bringing  the  news  of  redemption 
to  the  world,"  Ms.  Ross  said.  It  is 
in  the  group  that  the  lessons  are 
related  to  everyday  life. 

"Everything  we  do  is  ministry," 
she  said.  "The  only  question  is 
whether  we  do  it  well  or  poorly.  A 
study  of  the  salvation  history  in  the 
context  of  our  ministry  causes  us  to 
be  more  critical  of  our  decisions." 


Arrington  Lectures 

This  year's  second  series  of 
Arrington  Lectures  of  the  School 
of  Theology  will  feature  the  Rev. 
Vernon  E.  Johnson,  director  of 
the  Johnson  Institute  for  chemical 
addicts  in  Minneapolis,  Minnesota. 
The  lectures  will  be  held  February 
21-23. 

The  Rev.  Mr.  Johnson,  author 
of  the  book  "111  Quit  Tomorrow," 
will  speak  on  alcoholism  and  lead 
seminars  during  his  visit. 

His  lectures  also  are  being 
sponsored  by  the  Human  Ecology 
Project  at  Sewanee. 


From  left,  the  Rev.  C.  FitzSimons  Allison  and  the  Very  Rev. 
O.  C.  Edwards,  DuBose  Lecturers,  talk  with  the  Very  Rev.

Ayres,  acting  vice-chancellor. 


Anglican  Recovery  of  Evangelism 


"Anglicanism  is  at  its  heart  evan- 
gelical," said  the  Rev.  C.  FitzSimons 
Allison,  rector  of  Grace  Church, 
New  York  City,  in  his  DuBose  Lec- 
ture at  Sewanee. 

Thus  his  theme  did  not  clash 
particularly  with  that  of  co-lecturer, 
the  Very  Rev.  O.  C.  Edwards,  dean 
of   Seabury-Western   Theological 
Seminary. 

"Anglican  Reformation,"  he 
said,  "was  essentially  a  matter  .  .  . 
of  the  recovery  of  the  evangelical 
doctrine  of  Holy  Scripture." 

William    Tyndale,    Thomas 
Cranmer,   Richard  Hooker,   and 


John  Donne  "personify  for  us  the 
distinctive    evangelical    wisdom, 
balance  and  genius  of  Anglican 
evangelism,"  the  Rev.  Mr.  Allison 
said. 

They  overcome,  he  indicated, 
the  vulgarity  Episcopalians  so  often 
associate  with  evangelism. 

The  DuBose  Lectures,  delivered 
during  the  two-day  St.  Luke's  Con- 
vocation and  School  of  Theology 
homecoming  October  19-20,  will  be 
published  in  a  forthcoming  issue 
of  St.  Luke 's  Journal.

Homecoming; 
Oh  My 

Homecoming,  with  its  sheaf  of 
campus  events  this  fall,  needed 
only  one  touch  for  perfection,  and 
it  got  it— Eden-like  weather.  Even 
year-round  Sewanee  residents 
were  gasping  at  the  autumn  reds 
and  yellows  that  glowed  in  the  sun. 

Many  alums  were  up  early 
October  22  for  the  Associated

were  presented  to  those  visiting 
who  have  been  alumni  for  more 
than  fifty  years— the  Rev.  Joseph  R. 
Walker,  T'18;  Frank  Byerly,  C'19; 
William  Wills,  C'24;  Robert  P. 
Cook,  C'27;  Reynold  M.  Kirby- 
Smith,  C'27;  Ralph  Speer,  C'27; 
and  Dr.  James  R.   Sory,  C'27. 

The  Associated  Alumni  also 
voted  to  make  Mrs.  Brownlee 
Currey  of  Nashville  an  honorary 
alumna.

Afterward  came  the  alumni 
luncheon  in  the  "new"  Bishop's 
Common.  The  food  was  top-notch 
and  the  company  almost  like  old 
times,  maybe  better. 

Later  at  McGee  Field  (Harris 
Stadium)  the  Tigers  fought  back 
from  14-0  down  to  tie  the  score 
but  lost  in  the  last  41  seconds  to 
Washington  and  Lee.  Nevertheless, 
the  game  was  a  happening.  From 
the  halftime  on  almost  as  many 
people  were  socializing  (or  what- 
ever) on  the  track  as  were  sitting 
in  the  stands.  It  was  a  capacity 
crowd. 

Then  came  the  class  reunions 
and  a  reception  for  Mrs.  B.  Humph- 
reys McGee  and  her  family  and 
friends.  The  ATOs,  who,  like  the 
other    fraternity    men,    don't 
usually  need  an  excuse  for  a  party, 
had  their  excuse  anyway:  the 
chapter  centennial.   The  parties 
ground  persistently  into  the  night 
or  morning. 

If  there  was  really  a  hitch,  it 
came  early,  at  Friday  evening's 
buffet  dinner-dance  at  Cravens  Hall. 
The  band  failed  to  show.  Well, 
some  people  said  they  couldn't 
talk  over  a  band  anyway.

St.  Luke's 
Convocation 

The  School  of  Theology  gathered 
an  unusually  large  crowd  of  alumni 
and  guests  for  St.  Luke's  Convo- 
cation   (homecoming)    October 
19-20. 

The  Rev.  Robert  E.  Ratelle, 
T'47,  rector  of  St.  James'  Church, 
Jackson,  Mississippi,  was  elected 
Alumni    Association    president, 
replacing  the   Rev.   Joel   Pugh. 
William  S.  Brettmann,  C'59,  T'62, 
rector  of  Grace  Church,  Orange 
Park,  Florida,  was  elected  vice- 
president.  They  will  serve  two-year 
terms. 

These  will  be  important  years, 
because   the   seminary   will   be 
celebrating  its  centennial  next  year 
(1978-79). 

The   Alumni   Association   is 
asking  each  member  to  contribute 
$15  to  help  cover  the  cost  of 
publishing  a  history  of  the  School 
of  Theology,  which  is  being  written 
by  the  Rev.  Donald  S.  Armen- 
trout,  associate  professor  of  church 
history. 

The  greatest  excitement  of  the 
convocation  centered  on  the 
DuBose  Lectures.  The  Rev.  C.  Fitz- 
Simons  Allison  and  the  Very  Rev. 
O.  C.  Edwards  spoke  extensively 
and  intensively  on  evangelism. 
Panel  and  group  discussions  follow- 
ed the  lectures.  The  lectures  wiH  be 
published  in  a  forthcoming  issue 
of  St  Luke's  Journal. 

The   Very   Rev.   Urban   T. 
Holmes,  School  of  Theology  dean, 
said  it  was  the  best  attended  St. 
Luke's  Convocation  since  he  came 
to  Sewanee  five  years  ago. 


Academy 
Homecoming 

Honored  as  the  oldest  returning 
graduates   at  homecoming   and 
parents'  weekend  October  8-9  at 
the  Academy  were  William   L. 
(Bill)  Ware,  A'17,  of  New   Orleans 
and  Sewanee,  and  Julian  B.  Adoue, 
Jr.,  A'20,  of  Ponca  City,  Oklahoma. 

Ware,  a  retired  Navy  captain, 
was  accompanied  by  his  wife  and 
younger  brother,  W.  Porter  Ware, 
A'22. 

Several  generations  of  Adoues 
have  attended  the  Academy  since 
earliest  days. 

The  class  of  '67  had  the  largest 
percentage  representation  at  home- 
coming.  At  the  forefront  was 
Joseph  E.  Gardner,  Jr.  of  Houston. 
Gardner,  an  executive  with  the 
Coastal  States  Gas  Corporation, 
was  re-elected  president  of  the 
Sewanee  Academy  Alumni  Associ- 
ation. 

The  other  officers  are  Bill 
Austin,  A'46,  C'52,  senior  vice- 
president;  Brooke  Dickson,  A'65, 
vice-president  for  classes;  and  the 
Rev.   Fred  Gough,  A'58.  Three 
new  alumni  named  to  the  Board 
of  Governors  are  H.  L.  (Tom) 
Sebring,  A'48;  Monte  Slodmore, 
A'64,  and  Richard  Powers,  A'65. 

Approximately  85  alumni  and 
their  wives  attended  a  dinner  held 
in  their  honor  at  the  Bishop's 
Common  lounge  October  8. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Board 
of  Governors  will  be  held  the 
Saturday  morning  of  the  Academy 
commencement.

Birmingham  Hosts 
Prospective  Students 


Martin  R.  Tilson,  Jr.,  C'74,  reports 
that  about  20  Birmingham  alumni 
and  their  wives  and  dates  were 
hosts  at  a  party  October  13  for  40 
area  high  school  seniors  who  are 
good  prospects  for  Sewanee  ad- 
mission next  fall.  The  party  was 
held  at  the  Highland  Racquet  Club 
where  Martin  said  the  relaxed  at- 
mosphere allowed  the  students  to 


mix  with  the  Sewanee  grads  and 
some  current  students  and  ask 
questions.  The  project  was  done 
with  the  assistance  of  the  college 
admissions  office,  which  provided 
the  names  of  prospects  and  lined 
up  Sewanee  students  to  help. 
Several  alumni  in  the  group  are 
members  of  the  Sewanee  Club  of 
Birmingham. 


Student  Externs  Need  Insight 

If  you  are  an  alumnus  or  even  just  a  friend  of  Sewanee,  you  may  be 
interested  in  helping  with  a  program  being  started  by  the  University's 
career  services  office. 

To  give  students  a  better  understanding  of  the  careers  they  are 
choosing,  the  University  is  seeking  business  and  professional  people 
who  would  invite  students  into  their  offices  for  one  or  more  days 
of  observation. 

This  procedure  would  be  different  from  an  intern  program- 
hence  it's  called  the  Sewanee  Extern  Program— because  it  would 
require  no  pay  from  the  alumnus  or  friend.  It  may  also  require 
only  a  small  amount  of  time,  depending  on  how  much  time  the 
volunteer  has  to  talk  with  the  student  and  answer  questions. 

Mrs.  Dorothea  Wolf,  career  services  associate,  said  she  believes 
students  could  make  their  first  extern  visits  by  spring  break,  March 
22  through  April  5.  For  others  an  extern  visit  during  the  summer 
may  work  better. 

Comments  may  be  addressed  to  the  University  of  the  South, 
Career  Services  Office.  The  form  provided  below  may  help  you  in 
your  response.  But  Mrs.  Wolf  said  her  office  would  appreciate  any 
letters  from  interested  persons  and  suggestions  about  the  program.

CLASS  NOTES 


Alumni  are  listed  under  the  graduating 
class  with  which  they  entered,  unless  they 
have  other  preferences.  When  they  have 
attended  more  than  one  unit— Academy, 
College,  School  of  Theology,  Graduate 
School  of  Theology,  etc.— they  are  listed 
with  the  earliest  class.  Alumni  of  the 
College,  for  example,  are  urged  to  note 
the  period  four  years  earlier  for  class- 
mates who  also  attended  the  Academy. 


By  Edward  D.  Sloan,  Jr.,  A'46 

Please  hush  a  minute,  and  I'll  tell 
you  a  story  about  Sewanee  Military 
Academy. 

Last  month  I  went  to  home- 
coming and  talked  to  Julien  Adoue, 
who  was  in  the  Academy  class  of 
1920.  Charlotte  and  I  were  standing 
in  front  of  Quintard  Barracks;  I  ask- 
ed him  how  it  had  burned  in  1919. 
He  was  anxious  to  talk  about  it.  He 
said  the  true  story  has  never  been 
told  and  that  it  was  going  to  be  a 
chapter  in  his  autobiography,  soon 
to  be  published  by  Random  House, 
titled  To  Hell  with  Caution. 

I  might  have  a  few  details  wrong, 
but  this  is  what  he  told  me.  Gus 
Smith  was  there  in  the  fire  too;  he 
can  straighten  me  out. 

In  1919  we  had  just  won  World 
War  I.  The  military  was  in  good 
odor.  The  cadet  corps  was  booming 
under  the  superintendency  of  Joe 
Dalton  of  VMI  who  became  a 
major  general  in  World  War  II.  The 
military  department  had  put  the 
corps  in  feathers  and  pompoms. 
Discipline  was  more  strict  than  at 
West  Point. 

In  January  1919  Teddy  Roose- 
velt died.  Teddy  was  popular  with 
the  military  and  with  the  cadets. 
When  school  started  in  the  fall  of 
1919,  the  cadets  decided  that 
Teddy's   birthday,   October   27, 
must  be  a  grand  holiday  and  started 
agitating. 

The  academic  department  and 
the  military  department  were  always 
fussing  at  each  other.  The  academic 
department  told  the  cadets  that  the 
holiday  was  approved  provided  the 
military  department  approved.  Nice 
little  trap  they  set. 

The  military  department  got 
mad  and  dilly  dallied  trying  to  find 
a  way  to  retaliate  against  the  aca- 
demic department.  Not  until  supper 
October  26  did  the  cadet  first  cap- 
tain announce  that  there  would  be 
no  holiday. 

The  armory  in  the  basement 
was  full  of  war  surplus  ammunition,

but  the  armory  was  being  enlarged, 
and  some  ammunition  was  stored  in 
the  attic  with  some  old  mattresses. 

Well,  the  cadets  rioted,  threw 
all  their  soup  bowls  at  the  faculty 
table,  seized  the  armory,  and  drove 
all  the  faculty  across  the  street  with 
bayonets.  Teddy  would  have  been 
proud.  The  cadets  taught  classes  for 
five  days  before  they  allowed  the 
faculty  and  the  bread  trucks  to  re- 
turn to  campus. 

A  few  nights  later  the  cadet  first 
captain  read  a  special  order  at  sup- 
per expelling  35  cadets  for  treason 
and  confining  the  remainder  to  bar- 
racks for  a  month. 

Late  that  night  a  cadet  smelled 
smoke  in  the  attic  and  gave  the 
alarm.  A  faculty  member  burst  out 
of  his  tower  room  with  his  pistol 
cocked,  thinking  he  was  going  to  be 
lynched.  About  that  time  the  am- 
munition in  the  attic  started  pop- 
ping. 

Mass  confusion.  Julien  Adoue 
said  he  went  down  the  fire  escape ; 
the  barracks  were  gutted  by  the 
fire.  Julien  said  he  never  knew  which 
cadet  set  fire  in  the  old  mattresses. 

The  academy  moved  to  Florida 
the  winter  of  1919,  and  Joe  Dalton 
found  another  job. 

Never  again  did  the  cadets  have 
bayonets  or  ammunition.  Teddy 
Roosevelt's  day  had  gone  with  the 
wind. 


Editor's  Note 

Ed  Sloan's  story  was  told  during 
the  organizational  meeting  of  the 
Sewanee  Club  of  the  Piedmont  at 
his  home  November  9  in  Greenville, 
South  Carolina.  Mr.  Sloan  is  presi- 
dent of  Sloan  Construction  Com- 
pany of  Greenville,  and  his  son, 
Courtenay,  is  a  student  at  the  Aca- 
demy. Julien  B.  Adoue,  Jr.,  A'20, 
C'25,  a  resident  of  Ponca  City, 
Oklahoma,  is  in  petroleum.

THERON  MYERS,  A,  C'14,  was 
honored  August  28  by  the  Sewanee  Cum- 
berland Presbyterian  Church.  "Theron 
Myers  Day"  was  celebrated  in  recognition 
of  his  service  as  a  church  elder  and  Sun- 
day School  teacher  for  many  years  and 

stitute  preacher. 

1926 

A  friend  has  directed  our  attention 
to  a  recent  article  in  the  Houston  Chron- 
icle about  the  work  of  CARL  A.  DETER- 
ING,  C,  and  his  wife  in  restoring  the  his- 
toric Liendo  Plantation  in  Waller  County, 
Texas.  Several  years  of  restoration  work 
were  required  before  the  Deterings  could 
move  in.  Now,  we  understand,  it's  a  show 
place. 

1928 

THE  RT.  REV.  G1RAULT  M. 
JONES,  T,  of  Sewanee,  retired  bishop  of

degree  from  Ole  Miss  before  coming  to 
Sewanee. 

1933

the  Board  of  Directors.  Medusa  Corpor- 
ation, Cleveland,  Ohio,  manufacturers

1934 

JAMES  P.  KRANZ,  JR.,  C,  has  re- 
tired as  an  attorney  for  the  E.  I.  duPont 
Company  at  its  headquarters  in  Wilming- 
ton, Delaware. 


1939 

We  received  a  chuckle  from  the  re- 
cent note  of  OTTO  KIRCHNER-DEAN, 
C,  who  informs  us  he  has  retired  from 
government  service  and  "decided  to  start 
doing  some  honest  work."  So  he  bought 
a  book  store.  His  letterhead  reads:  "Otto 
Kirchner-Dean,  serious  and/or  not  so 
serious  books,  symbols  and  sacraments. 
Specialties  include  Orientalia,  Americana, 
Virginiana  and  Judaica."  That  would 
keep  anyone  honest.

David  F.  McNeeley 


Following  a  Tradition 


There  already  are  certain  parallels  between  the  life  of  William  Gorgas, 
of  Panama  Canal  fame,  and  the  story  of  another  Sewanee  graduate, 
David  F.  McNeeley,  who  left  the  mountain  only  three  and  a  half 
years  ago  to  pursue  a  career  in  medicine. 

McNeeley  is  a  student  at  the  Tulane  University  School  of  Medi- 
cine and  Tulane's  School  of  Public  Health  and  Tropical  Medicine. 

His  research  on  tropical  filariasis,  a  group  of  infections  caused  by 
a  parasite,  is  drawing  attention  from  the  scientific  community.  The 
threadlike  roundworm  parasites  may  cause  swelling  of  the  lymph 
glands  (elephantiasis  of  the  legs  is  a  better  known  condition),  or 
blindness.  An  intermediate  host  for  these  roundworms  is  the  mos- 
quito. 

Since  1975  McNeeley  has  been  a  member  of  the  staff  of  Holy 
Cross  Hospital,  Leogane,  Haiti.  In  the  summer  of  1975,  he  served  as 
interim  assistant  administrator  of  the  hospital. 

The  following  year  his  research  on  filariasis  in  northern  Haiti 
resulted  in  an  article,  "Filariasis  in  Haiti,"  published  in  the  Journal  of 
Parasitology.  This  fall  he  returned  to  Haiti  to  continue  this  research, 
a  trip  sponsored  by  Tulane's  International  Center  for  Medical  Re- 
search. 

For  three  months  this  winter  and  spring,  he  will  be  studying 
tropical  medicine  in  Kenya,  East  Africa  under  a  medical  assistance 
fellowship.  Then  he  will  return  to  complete  his  studies  at  Tulane  in 
April  and  May  for  his  M.D.  degree  and  his  master's  degree  in  public 
health  and  tropical  medicine. 

McNeeley  has  published  another  paper,  "A  Case  of  Leprosy  at 
Charity  Hospital,  New  Orleans,"  in  Southern  Medical  Journal.  And 
he  has  written  a  yet  unpublished  paper  on  Burhitt's  Lymphoma  in 
Louisiana.  This  lymphoma  is  the  most  common  childhood  cancer  in 
parts  of  Africa  and  New  Guinea  but  is  rare  in  other  parts  of  the 
world. 

In  a  recent  letter  to  Dr.  Harry  C.  Yeatman,  Sewanee  professor  of 
biology,  McNeeley  said  he  will  begin  a  pediatric  residency  in  July. 
When  the  residency  is  completed,  he  added,  he  hopes  to  combine  his 
interests  in  pediatrics  and  tropical  medicine  by  working  in  tropical 
areas  overseas. 

McNeeley  speaks  French  and  Haitian  Creole  fluently  and  is  work- 
ing to  learn  Swahili.  He  studied  a  lot  of  French  at  Sewanee. 

A  native  of  Knoxville  and  Norris,  Tennessee,  he  received  his  B.A. 
Degree  from  Sewanee  magna  cum  laude  in  1974,  with  honors  in 
biology.  He  was  elected  Phi  Beta  Kappa  in  1973. 

While  at  Sewanee,  he  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  directors  and 
staff  of  the  Sewanee  Youth  Center  and  in  1972-73  was  president  of 
the  board.  He  also  was  active  with  the  Jump  Off  Meeting  of  the 
Religious  Society  of  Friends  (Quakers). 

From  1968-1974  he  was  manager  and  staff  member  of  the  sum- 
mer recreation  program  and  summer  music  camp  of  the  Holy  Trinity 
School,  Port-au-Prince,  Haiti.  Holy  Trinity  School  is  directed  by  the 
Episcopal  Society  of  St.  Margaret,  of  which  McNeeley  became  an 
associate  in  1975.

ONE  SINGLE  MEMORY 

Like  a  white  stone  lying  within  a  well. 
So  lies  in  me  one  single  memory. 
I  have  no  heart  for  striving  any  longer, 
So  great  my  grief,  so  great  my  ecstasy. 

It  seems  that  anyone  on  looking  into 
My  eyes  would  see  it  lying  clear  and  pale. 
And,  having  seen,  would  grow  sadder,  graver 
Than  one  who  listens  to  a  mournful  tale. 

I  know  the  gods  had  power  to  turn  the  living 
To  moveless  things  yet  leave  the  spirit  free : 
That  splendid  sorrows  may  endure  forever, 
You  live,  transfigured,  in  my  memory. 

—Anna  Akhmatova,  1916

EUGENE  KAYDEN  DIES  IN  SEWANEE 


Eugene  M.  Kayden,  H'69,  professor 
emeritus  of  economics  and  widely 
published  translator  of  Russian 
poetry,  died  October  4  in  Sewanee 
at  the  age  of  91. 

He  had  published  three  books 
of  translations  of  PasternaVs  poems, 
a  volume  each  of  Lermontov  and 
Tyutchev,  and  translated  Pushkin's 
Eugene Oneginand Little  Tragedies. 
All  were  hailed  by  top  scholars  of 
Russian  literature  in  such  terms  as 
"significant  literary  event,"  "a  per- 
formance which  deserves  nothing 
but  praise  and  gratitude,"  "superb," 
"translation  at  its  best."  Since  1971 
the  Colorado  Quarterly  has  been 
publishing  30  to  50  pages  of  his 
translations  of  various  Russian  poets 
in  every  issue.  Time  magazine  in 
1959  chose  his  volume  of  Paster- 
nak's Poems  as  the  "Year's  Best  in 
Poetry,"  and  Pasternak  himself 
praised  Kayden's  rendition  of  his 
work. 

While  Mr.  Kayden  was  nego- 
tiating with   the   University   of 
Michigan  Press  for  publication  of 
the  Pasternak  book,  the  director  of 
the  press,  Edwin  Watkins,  wrote, 
"When  Mr.  Kayden  arrived  in  Ann 
Arbor,  there  was  a  congress  of 
'gerontologists'  devoted  to  planning 
for  the  aged.  It  was  a  rather  ironic 
comment  on  their  assembly  that 
Mr.  Kayden,  a  72-year-old  man, 
approached  us  with  a  project  to 
publish  no  less  than  twenty  volumes 
(at  a  minimum)  of  translations 
from  the  Russian  by  his  hand— a 
project  that  will  take  at  least  five 
years,  and  may  go  on  indefinitely." 

Eugene  M.  Kayden  was  born 
in  Russia  and  came  to  the  United 
States  at  the  age  of  17,  receiving 
his  citizenship  a  few  years  later.  He 
began  translating  Russian  poetry  in 
1911  in  his  hours  of  leisure  from 


his  teaching  and  research  in  econo- 
mics. He  came  to  Sewanee  in  1924 
as  founder  of  the  economics  de- 
partment, after  having  received 
degrees  from  the  University  of 
Colorado  and  Harvard  and  studied 
further  at  Princeton  and  Columbia. 
He  retired  from  teaching  in  1955 
to  give  his  full  time  to  his  trans- 
lations. 

In  addition  to  many  published 
articles  and  monographs  in  the  field 
of  economics,  Mr.  Kayden  prepared 
translations,  as  well  as  articles  and 
essays  on  Russian  literature,  for 
The  Nation,  the  Russian  Review, 
the  New  Republic,  the  Sewanee 
Review  (for  which  he  was  associate 
editor  from  1925  to  1927),  the 
American  Slavic  Review,  Christian 
Century,  Colorado  Quarterly,  and 
The  New  Statesman  of  London, 
among  other  publications.  Hallmark 
Cards,  which  holds  the  greeting 
card  rights  to  Kayden's  translations 
of  Pasternak,  has  also  used  Kayden 
translations   of   Lermontov   and 
Pleshcheyev  poems.  The  vast  Kay- 
den output  also  includes  transla- 
tions from  Andreyev,  Essenin,  and 
Garshin.  Some  of  his  translations 
were  premiered  at  Sewanee  last 
year  during  a  reading  at  the 
Bishop's  Common,  where  he  intro- 
duced some  contemporary  Russian 
poets  for  the  first  time  in  English. 

Professor  Kayden  in  1972  was 
awarded  the  honorary  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Humane  Letters  by  the 
University  of  Colorado,  its  first 
such  degree  given  in  absentia.  The 
University  of  the  South  awarded 
him  its  Doctor  of  Letters  degree 
in  1969. 

Robert  M.  Ayres,  Jr.,  acting 
vice-chancellor,  is  a  former  student 
and  long-time  friend  of  Mr.  Kayden. 


"He  was  a  man  of  great  sensi- 
tivity,  compassionate  concerning 
his  fellow  man,"  said  Mr.  Ayres. 
"He  was  a  strong  believer  in  Chris- 
tian brotherhood  among  all  nations, 
and  spent  the  latter  years  of  his  life 
helping  to  bring  this  about  through 
his  translations  of  Russian  poetry. 
He  was  always  a  seeker  of  truth 
and  was  a  person  who  helped  to 
open  the  eyes  of  all  who  knew  him 
toward  the  injustices  that  existed 
in  our  world." 

Gifts   to   the   University   in 
memory  of  Mr.  Kayden  will  go  into 


the  Eugene  M.  Kayden  Memorial 
Library   Fund,  the  proceeds  of 
which  will  be  used  by  duPont 
Library  to  purchase  books  in  the 
fields  of  Russian  and  economics. 
The  library  bought  most  of  Mr. 
Kayden's  library  several  years  ago, 
and  the  rest  of  his  books  will  go 
to  duPont  under  his  will.  They  are 
heavily  annotated,  being  mostly 
volumes  of  authors  he  was  in  the 
process  of  translating,  and  will  form 
the  nucleus  of  a  special  research 
collection.

LETTERS 

The  Sewanee  News  is  looking  for 
letters  from  its  readers.  So  if  you 
have  comments,  even  indirectly 
related  to  the  University,  keep 
them  reasonably  short,  and  we'll 
publish  them.  Communication,  at 
its  best,  is  a  two-way  street. 

The  current  Sewanee  News  (Sep- 
tember 1977)  is  certainly  full  of 
information;  however,  mine  may 
not  be  the  only  response  to  the 
geology  write-up. 

Geology  was  taught  as  early  as 
1874  and  until  about  1918. 

William  Boone  Nauts  entered 
the  University  in  1877  and  has  left 


us  his  notes  on  the  geology  lectures 
of  Dr.  John  B.  Elliott.  The  library 
has  a  geology  text  book  used  by 
students  J.  W.  Percy  in  1881  and 
Hugh  Cunningham  in  1883  as  well 
as  early  geology  exams. 

—Archives  assistant 

I  am  hoping  that  "Will  Hogwild," 
my   recent   correspondent,   will' 
identify  himself,  because  his  letter 
was  especially   appreciated   and 
helpful  to  my  project,  and  I  want 
to  respond  directly  to  him.

Lancaster  Heads  Million  Dollar  Program 


"/  would  not  like  my  retirement  to  be  marked  by  a  failure." 


(Continued  from  page  1) 


Million  Dollar  Program.  The  pro- 
gram has  been  a  great  success  under 
Mr.  Whipple  (vice-president  for 
development),  but  especially  at 
this  time,  with  an  acting  vice- 
chancellor,  we  need  to  assure  the 
future  of  Sewanee  and  the  viability 
of  its  institutions.  We  must  meet 
our  goal  of  $1,150,000. 

"My  role  is  to  rally  Sewanee 
alumni  everywhere  whom  I  know 
and  Sewanee  friends  everywhere 
whom  I  do  not  know  to  assist  the 
University.  Our  friends,  wherever 
they  may  be,  should  know  they 
have  the  opportunity  to  participate 
in  the  great  work  of  liberal  edu- 
cation. 

"I  will  be  teaching  two  classes, 
but  have  arranged  my  schedule  so 
that  I  will  be  free  the  latter  part 
of  the  week  to  travel. 

"We  have  a  splendid  leader  in 
Robert  M.  Ayres,  who  for  two 
years  has  sacrificed  his  business 
to  work  for  the  University.  I  hope 
his  example  is  contagious. 

"Incidentally,  I  am  going  to 
retire  at  the  end  of  this  academic 
year,  and  I  would  not  like  my  re- 
tirement to  be  marred  by  a  failure." 

Dr.  Lancaster  was  born  and 
reared  in  Floyd,  Virginia,  a  little 
town  near  Roanoke  in  the  Blue 
Ridge  Valley.  After  his  graduation 
from  Hampden-Sydney  in  1929,  he 


taught  for  two  years  at  Gulfcoast 
Military  Academy  in  Gulfport, 
Mississippi. 

He  came  to  head  the  junior  de- 
partment at  Sewanee  Military  Acad- 
emy in  1931.  He  once  referred  to  it 
as  a  "department  without  students 
in  a  school  suffering  from  the  rav- 
ages of  a  great  depression." 

During  this  initial  six-year  stay 
in  Sewanee,  he  studied  law  at 
Andrew  Jackson  University,  driving 
the  90  miles  to  Nashville  three 
nights  a  week.  In  1934  he  also  re- 
ceived a  master's  degree  from  the 
University  of  the  South.  Then  in 
1938,  he  passed  the  Virginia  Bar 
examination,  leaving  Sewanee  to 
practice  law  for  the  next  few  years 
in  Floyd  and  Pulaski,  Virginia. 

When  he  returned  to  the  Acad- 
emy in  1941,  he  became  comman- 
dant of  cadets,  but  with  World  War 
II  under  way,  he  soon  entered  the 
Navy  and  for  almost  the  next  four 
years  was  an  air  combat  intelligence 
officer.  After  the  war,  he  returned 
to  the  Academy. 

Dr.  Lancaster  began  teaching  in 
the  political  science  department  of 
the  College  in  1949.  He  received  his 
doctoral  degree  from  the  University 
of  Michigan  in  1952,  and  the 
following  year  was  named  dean,  a 
position  he  held  for  four  years.  He 


Robert  S.  (Red)  Lancaster 


has  twice  been  a  Fulbright  lecturer— 
at  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
in  Bagdad,  Iraq,  and  at  the  National 
University  in  Seoul,  Korea. 

Among  the  many  positions  he 
has  held  at  Sewanee,  Dr.  Lancaster 
also  was  acting  director  of  develop- 
ment from  1965  to  1967. 


He  has  been  listed  in  Who's 
Who  in  America  continuously  since 
1964.  He  also  is  a  member  of  the 
Academic  Advisory  Board  of  the 
U.S.  Naval  Academy. 

He  and  his  wife,  the  former 
Ernestine  Desporte,  have  two 
grown  daughters. 


Academy  Alumni  Begin  Drive 


Operation;  Task  Force  for  increased 
Academy  alumni  giving  was 
approved  October  8  by  the  Sewa- 
nee Academy  Alumni  Association 
after  enthusiastic  endorsement  by 
the  Alumni  Board  of  Governors. 

Operation:  Task  Force  is  the 
volunteer  effort  to  provide  unre- 
stricted gifts  for  application  to  the 
Academy's  budget.  The  goal  is  an 
increase  of  3  per  cent  in  the 
number  of  alumni  gifts  each  year 
for  the  next  five  years. 

John  Bratton,  Sewanee  alumni 
director,    is    seeking   volunteers 
willing  to  serve  as  class  agents  or 
sub-agents. 

Vice-Chancellor    Robert    M. 
Ayres  spearheaded  the  fund-raising 
effort  with  addresses  to  the  Alumni 


Association  and  a  joint  meeting 
of  the  alumni  and  parents. 

He  said  $150,000  must  be 
raised  to  offset  the  difference  be- 
tween   expenses    and    budget 
allocations  this  year.  Contributions 
by  Academy  alumni  and  friends 
may  be  applied  directly  to  the 
Academy  budget.  The  vice-chan- 
cellor said  he  would  kick  off  the 
effort  by  contributing  $5,000  from 
his  own  salary. 

By  the  end  of  the  day,  the  Rev. 
D.  Roderick  Welles,  Academy  head- 
master, had  announced  a  $1,000 
gift,  a  $5,000  pledge,  and  gifts  in 
kind  or  services  totaling  $15,000. 

The  alumni  also  were  urged  to 
help  with  recruiting.  Full  enroll- 
ment, they  were  told,  would  be 
tantamount  to  meeting  the  budget.
