Advertisements ^ SE,WAN£D Foreword [NCE neither printers' ink nor engravers' etching can give adequate expression to the whole of Sewanee's brilliant $jfijP\ past, her glorious traditions, or her lofty and inspiring ideals, the authors of this book have steadfastly endeavored to reproduce a representative cross-section of Sewanee life to-day. In some small measure, at least, we hope we have proven worthy of our grave responsibility. Believing that "by its fruits ye shall know it" we strove to give due representation and expression in our book to those units, organizations and features that are making Sewanee what it is today, without recalling bygone relics and achievements, or attempting so difficult a task as the interpretation of all that Sewanee stands for. Necessarily, such a work must be an echo. Sewanee is the "still, small voice" that prompts it. But, if the 1924 Cap and Gown can even remotely suggest the thing that has inspired it, —if this book can supplement in any way, or if it can merely reverberate and resound the echoes of our predecessors, our efforts have been amply rewarded. The Editors f OCJcAP \GownTJC 'Dedication O Francis Moore Osborne, Chaplain of the University, whose faithful serv- ice to Sewanee has earned him the esteem and admiration of the entire student-body, whose robust optimism we envy, whose virile, red-blooded and practical chris- tianity has helped us on, we appreciatively dedicate this, the i924 volume of the CAP AND GOWN. i IjslwanedB EMJcapxgownZ s Francis Moore Osborne, Chaplain i SEWANED In Ufanorram Jbwb Ktlif rton Beams ]F m}\t r (grae Patterson 3Pliam (Sffil (Sunn "/ /;pM ;7 truth, with him who sings, To one clear harp in divers tones. That men may rise on stepping-stones Of their dead selves to higher things. "Oh, yet we trust that somehow good Will be the final goal of ill, To pangs of nature, sins of will, Defects of doubt, and taints of blood. "That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall be destroy'd. Or cast as rubbish to the void. When God hath made the pile complete.

L Bailey SE.WANED -IJfJCAP XGOWNTMJ s The Painswick Stone HE venerable Painswick Stone, unveiled in All Saints' Chapel on Febru- ary 7th, 1924, was a gift from the dean and chapter of Westminster Abbey to Sewanee as a token of the close kinship in blood, sympathy, \\-mrL^m^ affection and spirituality between the peoples of America and England. While Dr. George Herbert Clarke, of the University faculty, was in England last summer, he asked the dean of Westminster for some memento that would express in a concrete way the union of two great peoples in thought. The dean readily acceded and asked Dr. Clarke to choose something from the ancient chapel of Henry VII, built in 1502. Together with Dr. Charles Luke Wells, who was also in England at the same time, he selected the Painswick stone. The above piece of carving has many historical associations. Washington Irving ". refers to the famous chapel from which the stone came, as follows: . most gorgeous of sepulchres . the very walls are wrought into universal ornament, encrusted with tracery and scooped into niches. Stone seems, by the cunning labor of the chisel, to have been robbed of its weight and density, suspended aloft, as if by magic, and the fretted roof achieved with the wonderful minuteness and airy security of a cobweb."
