This happy definition emphasized the common interests of professor and student alike, mak- ing every member of the company a learner, a seeker after knowledge. Such an academic Utopia would be Dr. Bruton's natural habitat. The achievements he most admires are those of the intellect; and his heroes, like Newton, forever voyage through strange seas of thought. Whether Dr. Bruton would have been happier with the great scholars of the Renaissance we cannot say, but certainly Sewanee has been happy with him. Since 1925. the year he came to this Mountain, Sewanee has commanded his loyalty and his services. His main ob- jective has been the well-being of the University and ol the Sewanee community, both of which he has served in many ways. He is Head of the Department of Mathematics, and Dean of Administration of the University. In the latter capacity he has been a veri- table pillar of strength. Outside of the University it- self, he has served as Chairman of the Franklin County Hoard ol Education, and as President of the Sewanee Civic Association. His hobbies are tennis. bridge, and good conversation— in each of which he excels, as many a fallen foe can attest! For what he has meant to Sewanee we dedicate this 1959 Cap and Gown to DR. GASTON S. BRUTON. Dedication The Chancellor The Right Reverend Thomas Neely Carruthers is now in the third year of his six year term as Chan- cellor of the University of the South. Bishop Car- ruthers, Bishop of South Carolina, is a familiar figure at Sewanee. He received his B.A. degree from the Uni- versity in 1921 and his B.D. from St. Luke's in 1929. He taught in the English Department of the College and has been a member of the Board of Re- gents for several terms. In 1940, he received the hon- orary degree of Doctor of Divinity, bestowed upon him by the University. The Right Reverend Thomas Neely Carruthers. D.D.. The Since his ordination in 1926, Bishop Carruthers Bishop of South Carolina and Fourteenth Chancellor of the University of the South. has served as rector of St. Peter's Church, Columbia. Tennessee; Trinity Church, Houston, Texas, and Christ Church, Nashville, Tennessee, until he was con- secrated Bishop of South Carolina on May 4, 1944. Bishop Carruthers is the former president of the Epis- copal Church's Fourth Province which includes fifteen dioceses in nine southern states. The Chancellor acts as president of the Board of Trustees, ex-officio member of the Board of Regents and is a bishop of one of the University's twenty-one owning dioceses. 11 Vice-Chancellor Few liberal arts institutions are fortunate enough to have as president a man who represents the scope of intellectual interest which it is their purpose to stimulate in their stu- dents. Sewanee is so favored in the person of Dr. Edward McCrady, Vice-Chancellor of the University of the South. The range of Dr. McCrady's activities extends from biologv and speleology to music, art. and theology. In previous years he has received international renown in his capacity as se- nior research biologist at Oak Ridge. Like a Renaissance man he moves with equal ease in these varied fields, and the re- sult is an emphatically negative answer to the modern myth of the specialized man. Dr. McCrady comes from a family closely associated with Sewanee. hut he was educated at the College of Charleston. B.A.. the University of Pittsburgh, M.S., and the University of Pennsylvania, Ph.D. The son of an Episcopal minister. Dr. McCrady has been most success- ful in combining modern science with Christianity. His in- fluence has extended far from bis Mountain home as the spokesman of the Sewanee ideal throughout the world. DR.
