EDITION THIRTY k~\ and H—Muaamm jhuj i mib nnima m HE GREATNESS OF A UNIVER- SITY IS MEASURED BY THE MEN IT PRODUCES AND BY THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY. SEWANEE HAS PRODUCED MANY MEN WHO HAVE MEASURED UP TO THE VERY HIGHEST STANDARDS. FIVE REPRESENTATIVE MEN ARE HERE PRESENTED AND HONORED, EACH OF WHOM WILL OPEN ONE OF THE FIVE DIVI- SIONS OF THIS ANNUAL. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT FACT THAT ALL THESE MEN HAVE SPENT THEIR LIVES, NOT IN ACQUIRING FOR THEMSELVES, BUT IN FINE GIVING OF THEMSELVES, THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR WISDOM. SEWANEE HAS REASON TO BE PROUD OF THE MEN SHE HAS PRODUCED AND THE RECORD SHE HAS MADE. TRULY, SHE MEASURES UP TO THE STANDARD REQUIRED OF A GREAT UNIVERSITY. IH "N UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE TOOK PLACE IN WASHINGTON, D. C, WHICH SHOWS THE RESULT OF SEWANEE'S INFLUENCE IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS. FOUR MEN MET IN THE NATION'S CAP- ITAL. ONE WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. TURNING TO MA- JOR ARCHIE BUTT, '86, HIS AIDE, HE SAID: "BUTT, WHERE WERE YOU EDUCATED?" "SEWANEE, SIR," SAID BUTT. DR. CARY T. GRAYSON, '03, LATER AD- MIRAL AND PERSONAL PHYSICIAN TO PRESIDENT WILSON, WAS ONE OF THE OTHERS. HE SPOKE UP: "I WENT THERE, TOO." ROOSEVELT TURNED TO THE THIRD MAN, THE MAN WITHOUT WHOM THE PANA- MA CANAL COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BUILT, GENERAL WILLIAM C. GORGAS, 78. "AND WHERE WERE YOU EDUCATED, GORGAS?" THE PRESIDENT ASKED. "SEWANEE, SIR," CAME THE ANSWER. THE PRESI- DENT WAS DEEPLY IMPRESSED. HE MADE MANY IN- QUIRIES ABOUT THE LITTLE UNIVERSITY WHICH PRODUCED BIG MEN. THEN HE WROTE: "I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY INSTITUTION OF THE SAME SIZE IN ANY PART OF OUR COUNTRY WHICH HAS DONE MORE FOR THE CAUSE OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP THAN SEWANEE HAS DONE. AS AN AMERICAN I AM PROUD OF IT; AS A CITIZEN I AM GRATEFUL TO IT. IT IS ENTITLED 'THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH,' BUT IT IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT: IT IS A UNIVERSITY OF ALL AMERICA, AND ITS WEL- FARE SHOULD BE DEAR TO ALL AMERICANS WHO ARE BOTH PATRIOTIC AND FAR-SIGHTED, AND THEREFORE ANXIOUS TO SEE EVERY INFLUENCE STRENGTHENED WHICH TENDS FOR THE BETTERMENT AND FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF OUR GREAT COMMON COUNTRY." »»»»»» UNIVERSITY 9 SCIENTIST • SANITARIAN • PHYSICIAN • WILLIAM CRAWFORD GORGAS, B.A., 75, SC.D., '04, LLD., D.C.L, F.R.G.S.

It was always the Sewanee that is to be that he dreamed of, though he valued and shared and nur- tured the Sewanee that was. Never did his idealism outrun his realism. So in patience and in faith he took things as they were, lived and enjoyed and hallowed them, yet ever strove to make them as they would be. For our hero loved life, and lived it abund- antly, courageously, and joyously. A fine athlete, he encouraged and participated in manly sports. A man of parts, he was widely read and deeply cultured. Pro- moted to the highest ecclesiastical position, he never lost his wholesome humanity or ex- hibited the taint of ecclesiasticism. As pas- tor, preacher and man of God, Sewanee knew him best and loved him most. • The picture to the right was taken during the Gailor Celebra- tion in 1933, when Bishop Gailor was honored by the notables of America and England.
