16 Sewanee Alumni News 10 ALUMNI NEWS Vol. XVI, No. 2 The University of the Eolith, Sewanee, Tennessee May 15, 1950 zAn Invitation from

CJhe Vice - (Chancellor

June as ever brings to Sewanee new beauty, new graduates, new plans,

new hopes. But the best part of June on the Mountain is the return of old friends, the re-living of old days, and the re-newing of old friendships and faith. To all alumni and friends, we who live here extend a hearty invitation to return, not only at Commencement time but also to participate in our varied and interesting summer program.

The Regents of the University will meet on June seventh; and the Trustees will have a most important session on June ninth, at which time a new Chan- cellor will be elected. On Friday night, Mrs. Green and I will be hosts at the Vice-Chancellor's reception at our home. Saturday, June tenth, will be devoted to the traditional alumni festivities. On Sunday we will hear Bishop Donegan preach in All Saints' Chapel. On Monday Congressman Monroney will address the largest graduating class in Sewanee's history.

Our Commencement program is very full this year with reunions and open houses and all of the Sewanee hospitality which Commencement implies. Write to Mr. Chitty if you want reservations at Sewanee or Monteagle. Despite our fires, we can accommodate all.

We will have no Summer School at the Academy or the College this year, thus releasing our facilities for a program of conferences, for the Graduate School of Theology, and for the Cumberland Forest Festival. The Episcopal Laymen of the Province of Sewanee will have their annual conference at Sewanee June fifteenth to June eighteenth on the week end following Commencement. Families are most welcome. Reservations may be made with Mr. Robert E. Finley of the Nashville Banner, Nashville, Tennessee.

On June twenty-sixth there opens at Sewanee the Cumberland Forest Festival of Music, offering academic credit in composition, piano, and the stringed instru- ments, and sponsored jointly by Sewanee and Peabody College. Alumni nearby will want to come to our series of eight concerts, each Wednesday evening at " eight o'clock. Alumni everywhere will be able to hear broadcasts of the same programs from Nashville on Saturday afternoons. Information concerning enrollment in the festival may be obtained from Mr. Chitty or from Dr. Roy Harris at Peabody College in Nashville, and a descriptive brochure will be mailed to any alumnus requesting one.

The Sewanee Provincial Summer Training School holds its first post-war session July third to July seventh, with the school being turned over to Dr. John Heuss for his intensive program of Christian education.

From July twenty-fourth to August twenty-sixth, the Graduate School of The- ology has its annual session with a faculty of four distinguished theologians. Inquiries should be addressed to the Dean of the School of Theology at Sewanee. Dean Brown is serving as associate director of the school.

Except for brief intervals throughout the summer, the Vice-Chancellor will be at home on the Mountain. Summertime is visiting time. This year you should come. We want you to be with us, and to you all we extend a sincere welcome.

Faithfully yours,

Sewanee Leads Scholarship List

When three Sewanee men won Gen- eral Education Board scholarships for a year of graduate study at the school of their choice, the University of the South led all colleges in the South, for no other institution received that many awards. Said Pro- fessor Arthur B. Dugan, chairman of the local selection committee, "The Sewanee winners were among approximately thirty chosen from a highly selected group of seniors nomi- nated by a number of accredited Southern institutions. The selections were based on evidence of exceptional intellect, imagination, personality, and scholarship. It is hoped that these scholars will teach in Southern colleges when they have completed graduate work and thereby contribute to the improvement of education in the Vice-Chancellor Green (lejt) congratulates violinist Josef Gingold following the South." first concert in All Saints' Chapel.

August, Nineteen Fifty Cornerstone for Dining Hall Laid yune II Alumni Office Seeks Names of 1912 Guarantors

Besides making history, the Univer- sity of the South also likes to preserve it. Currently, the Alumni Of- fice is seeking information on the organization of the office in 1912 and the employment of a full-time Alumni Secretary. Fortunately, the Secretary himself, David A. Shepherd, '00, is with us and has gathered with the help of a dozen others most of the information.

Briefly, the story is this. There had been a general decline in the for- tunes of small schools, particularly those with church connections, after the turn of the century. At this time a large number of universities severed their ties with their respective churches. In 1907 Kenyon's student body was less than 100 but at Sewanee a burgeoning enrollment was maintained by the Medical Depart- ment. In 1909, however, that school closed and Sewanee abandoned its famous summer-term-with- winter- vacation. For these and other reasons, by 1912, enrollment in the College and Grammar School (now renamed the Sewanee Military Academy) together was about 100. Here our story be- gins. A group of alumni, with the backing of that singular prince among alumni, the late John Hamilton Potter Hodgson, offered themselves as guarantors for a luxurious $4,000 per year alumni office ($2,500 for the Secre- (Continued on page 15)

An Address made at the opening of the University, All Saints' Chapel, September 20, 1950 By Boylston Green

.. HIS summer during your absence op- J portunities presented themselves for pondering the Sewanee situation. As we begin this our eighty-third year, it is well to re-think and to re-phrase what we call the "Sewanee Way," the "Sewanee Aim," the "Sewanee Ideal." Almost daily we speak of a Christian

liberal college, but after all, is that not a general term? Precisely what does it mean? Phrases often play us false, and we must ever be careful of hoary shibboleths lest the meaning slip and the significance become totally unrelated to the men and circumstance to which they are applied.

For instance, just what is a liberal education? Surely it is not an arithmetical whole, or the sum of the courses in our curriculum as outlined in our catalogue. It must be

something more. Here in Sewanee I think it is an attempt to prepare young men for living as well as for livelihood. Here we shun the strictly vocational, the technical, and the professional approaches to education; in doing so we are not merely intellectual snobs. We believe that a lawyer who knows only law, a technician who knows only techniques, and a businessman who knows only business and at the same time is unmindful of the larger economic, social, and spiritual issues in life, may be capable of making a livelihood, but he is incapable of living a full life. He is incapable of realizing all his potentials as a citizen of an earthly state and of the Kingdom of God.

Here in Sewanee our purpose is to produce leaders. and under any circumstances Man must think of himself We try to provide the opportunity for each student to in relation to God; that always he must be conscious of develop his intellect, to build up his body, to kindle his that relationship and somehow he must express it? imagination, to discipline his emotions, to strengthen his Never before, perhaps, has Christian freedom been in will, and to realize his own spiritual being in life.

Vol. XVI, No. 4 The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee November 15, 1950 Sewanee Calf Club Arouses Enthusiastic Support

Sixty Members Pledge Gifts u in Kind'''

Creating more interest than any phase of Sewanee's fund raising effort since the early days of the Guerry Memorial Campaign, the Sewanee Calf Club of Texas has demonstrated that it could become a leading source of annual support for the University. At the conclusion of an aerial tour of Southern California and Texas, Cap- tain Wendell Kline reported on No- vember 1 that the personal solicitations of president William R. Manning and other Calf Club enthusiasts had resulted in sixty memberships. The idea developed spontaneously at the annual meeting of the diocese of West Texas last spring when during an intermission Manning said, "Why don't several of us ranchers brand a calf every year for Sewanee?

High point of the weekend, however, was the alumni meeting held in the SMA Chapel, Quintard Hall, on Saturday morning. There a series of discussions on the possibilities of alumni organization were led by Cap- tain Walter Davis, A'42, and by John Gass Bratton, A'47. The sense of the meeting was brought into focus by Dr. Robert W. B.

With an amendment that an elected member of the Senior Class be included on the committee, the motion was unanimously passed. Col. S. L.

Born 63 years ago on the Mountain, Mr. Campbell began his apprentice- ship as a stonecutter in 1904, after attending the Sewanee Grammar School. His first iob was on St. Luke's Chapel Since St. Luke's Chapel, Mr. Camp- bell and his chisel have helped build All Saints' Chapel, Emerald-Hodgson Hospital, Tuckaway Inn, Cannon and Johnson Halls, several fraternity houses, and buildings at S.

Rock work on the rebuildins of the burned-out union is already well on its way to completion. New sandstone has been blasted out of the quarry and is being readied for final fitting. It is hoped that he building will be ready for use by January 1. Mr. Campbell's first love seems to be lettering.

The Sewanee Alumni' New's 10 Nurses' Residence Nearing Completion

"A New Year's Eve party in our new Nurses' Residence" is the goal of Mr. M. L. Southwick, Superintendent of Emerald-Hodgson Hospital. And the sixteen nurses and aides in residence at the hospital are beginning to smile in confidence that they will be in their new quarters in time for the celebration. Doctors and patients also have a stake in the completion of the new stone residence. The home now occupied will be turned into an out- patient clinic and six suites for doctor's offices. Four nurses' aides now sleeping in hospital beds intended for patients will be able to move into the new residence leaving all 57 beds available for adult patients and 12 for children. Completion of the Nurses' Residence and the out-patient clinic are only two parts of a $200,000 three-phase expansion underway at the hospital The third is the recently completed pediatric wing for which the funds were secured by Dr. Oscar N. Torian, '96.

For the nurses' home and clinic projects, the University voted approximately $40,000 from its building fund and received about $110,000 from public funds. The federal government is paying 52 per cent, and the State of Tennessee 26 per cent with the University paying the balance plus some incidentals not covered in the grant. The hospital at Sewanee has become recognized throughout Tennessee as the principal facility for medical care in a six-county area of the Cumberland plateau region.
