22 The Sewanee Alumni News OFFICIAL BALLOT

19 + 8 Alumni Trustees

The University of the South was one of the first institutions of higher learning in the South to provide for the election of a specified number of its Alumni members to its Board of Trustees. In two years out of each three, a slate of nominees is presented from which must be elected one clerical and two lay trustees. This year, R. Morey Hart, chairman of the nominating committee, writes:

"It is very gratifying to be able to offer an outstanding slate of nominees to represent the As-

sociated Alumni on the Board of Trustees. Our only regret is that the Alumni group cannot

have all of the nominees as representatives. One thing is certain though,— the voters can't go wrong." FOR CLERICAL TRUSTEE (Check One)

THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH SEWANEE, TENNESSEE

Vol. XIV, No. 2 May 15, 1948 ". . . A.s generously as possible!'*

The Alumni Fund is part of the very life stream of the University of the South.

The Alumni Fund serves two purposes, two absolutely necessary purposes. It maintains the Alumni Office. It helps maintain the University itself. Without the Alumni Fund there would be no Alumni organization.

Without the Alumni Fund the University would be in jeopardy because the Alumni Fund constitutes an essential Living Endowment for the Uni- versity. A Living Endowment is as stable and as necessary in these days as permanent endowment. Since the University's income from permanent endowment and from student fees is inadequate, the University must have a Living Endowment of annual gifts to meet operating costs.

The Alumni Fund is composed of annual contributions of the alumni who support each year by their gifts the University and the work of the

Alumni Office. A contribution by an alumnus to the Alumni Fund carries with it membership and the privilege of voting in the Associated Alum- ni. There are no dues or membership fees separate from the Alumni Fund.

Every alumnus is urged to contribute as generously as possible to the

Alumni Fund each year and to indicate his willingness to do so by a statement of intent. If an alumnus feels that he cannot give both to the Alumni

Fund and to the Campaign for $5,000,000, let him give to the Alumni Fund.

The University of the South cannot possibly go forward with a great campaign if it goes backward with deficits, and the University will go into debt again if the Alumni Fund is not a substantial sum each year.

An Alumni Fund of the same pattern as Sewanee's is a part of the structure of the better colleges and universities throughout America today.

The colleges and universities consider an Alumni Fund necessary to their development and even necessary for their existence.

Wherever alumni actually have solicited for Sewanee, substantial sums have been raised. This is the first time in Sewanee's history that a million dollars has been raised without the help of the great foundations. The work has been done entirely by alumni without professional aid. £ E W A N E E zALU M N I ZSQe W S

New Honorary Alumnus

For his extraordinary service to Sewanee, the alumni at Commence- ment made Mr. J. A. Setze, of Au- gusta, Georgia, an honorary alumnus with life membership in the As- sociated Alumni. This honor, the highest distinction in their power to give, was conferred upon Mr. Setze for his years of devotion and loyalty to the University of the South as Trustee and Regent.

August, Nineteen Forty-Eight Seven Awarded Alumni Exornati Keys at Alumni Dinner

At the annual Alumni Banquet, seven distinguished Sewanee men were given gold keys which made them members of the Order of Alumni Ex- ornati. The first men to receive the award were Telfair Hodgson, '98, PDT, Bishop Charles B. Colmore, '98, ATO, Dr. Oscar N. Torian, '96, PDT, Dr. Reynold M. Kirby- Smith, '95, SAE, Dr. R. W. B. Elliott, '94, ATO, Henry M. Soaper, '94, PDT, and A. Sessums Cleveland, '93, ATO.

The Order of Alumni Exornati is composed of Sewanee men whose class graduated from the University of the South fifty or more years ago. The Latin name of the Order is taken from the Vice-Chancellor's charge to the graduates and means "honored" or "decorated." Only after fifty years have elapsed since the Vice-Chancellor delivered that sclemn charge to his graduating class is a Sewanee alumnus eligible to become an Alumnus Exornatus. Even a good photographer doesn't hope often to get a shot like this one..

New Plan for Class Reunions

A new plan for Class Reunions was presented to the Alumni Council dur- ow ^ ing its Commencement session this year and was passed unanimously. It will be explained in detail during the year by the various class leaders. Briefly, it embodies the principle of calling together consecutive groups of contemporaries rather than groups celebrating their fifth, fifteenth, or twentieth anniversaries. F~r instance, in June 1949, the clpsses of '42, '41. '40 and '39 will h-\ld f reunion as will the classes of '23, ">">.. '21. ?nH '20. and slsn the classes rf '04, '03, '02, and '01. Jn addition to +hese. the cla^s^s of ">4 and '99. celebrating respectively their twenty-fifth and fiftieth anniversaries, will hold reunions. So often, it has been noted in the past, alumni come back to the Moun- ,:*»&. tain and meet only those of their own c'ass; whereas, in many cases, some of their closest ties were with men of classes before or after then- own.

Vol. XIV, No. 4 The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee November 15, 1948 Dr. Alexander Guerry Dies of Heart Attack

Vice- Cba n cello / • Stricken In Knoxville October Nineteenth

Alexander Guerry died in Knoxville on October 19. Death came to the Vice-Chancellor in General Hospital, where he had gone after a heart attack suffered while waiting at the station for a train back to Sewanee. He had gone to East Tennessee on Saturday and had been a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Kennedy Craig, parents of the late Captain Brown Atkin Craig, '38, SMA. Dr. Guerry had preached on Sunday morning in St. John's Church at the invitation of the Rev. William S. Lea. On Sunday evening, he had talked to the students' Canterbury Club. On Monday night he met with twenty- four Sewanee men at a dinner celebrating Founders' Day of the Univer- sity. He was very happy about the enthusiasm shown at the meeting. On Tuesday at noon, he addressed the members of Knoxville Rotary on the controversial subject of subsidized collegiate athletics. He was delighted with the response of the civic group. He went directly from the luncheon to the station by taxi, brushing aside the objection of friends who offered to drive him. At the station, he felt the pain in his side which recalled the attack of coronary thrombosis suffered by him in 1943. He went directly to General Hospital, probably by taxi, and was admitted about 3 p.m. The doctor on duty recognized Dr. Guerry and introduced himself as Charles Sienknecht, a McCallie alum- "I know I'll Dr. Guerry and Dean Gass, friends since boyhood, have worked ever more nus.
