On Sunday afternoon, November 1, the Sewanee public gathered in the Library to witness the unveiling of a portrait of the late Rt. Rev. Henry Judah Mikell, Bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta and Chancellor of the Uni- versity. The portrait is the work of Dr. Edward McCrady, Professor of Biology in the University. It is the gift to the University of the Kappa Alpha fraternity in honor of Bishop Mikell, one time Knight Commander of the fraternity. For the Kappa Alpha fraternity, Mr. Morse Kochtitzky, president of the Sewanee Chapter, made the speech of presentation. For the University the Vice-Chancellor received the portrait. Mr. Kochtitzky then introduced the guest speaker of the occasion, the Hon. Ellis Arnall, Governor-elect of the state of Georgia, a Sewanee graduate of the Class of 1928 and a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Fraternities Suspended Until the War Ends

At a recent called meeting of the Pan-Hellenic Council, at which were present faculty advisers of all frater- nities, a momentous step was taken. Fraternities were suspended for the duration. The action was taken with- out a dissenting voice. Dr. Guerry announced for the University that he would enter into a contract with ac- credited representatives of the various fra+ernities to rent their properties, with the guarantee that they would be returned to the fraternities at the proper time in good condition. Details of the contract are not now available. The houses will serve various pur- poses—recreation centers, Navy head- quarters, and residences. Fraternities have had a long and honorable record for the sixty-five years of their presence at Sewanee. Feelings in regard to them are deep and lasting, so much so that all of those present at the meeting were re- luctant to take the step to suspend Varsity Track Team their operation for even a short period of time.
