OURSEWANEE by Annie Armour A Glimpse of the Village When the fi rst nine students matriculated at the Sewanee Grammar School (later the Sewanee Military Academy), what did they see as they stepped off the train? Besides the depot with its telegraph offi ce, the village was basically void of businesses, although an ambitious plan for a booming mini-metropolis had been mapped out. (Visit the University Archives to see some examples of these plans.) Looking up the empty, dirt road leading to the University must have been a litt le intimidating for a young student who had possibly left home for the very fi rst time. Th e land was mostly uncleared forest. What we think of now as campus consisted of a chapel (St. Augustine’s, a one-room structure with a classroom on the back), a residence (Otey Hall, built by the Diocese of Tennessee), the boarding house (the Cott en House, where Tuckaway dorm now stands) and Rebel’s Rest. By 1872, however, when those same students were seasoned college men, Sewanee’s village bustled with life. As the University Record stated in June 1872: “Th e Sewanee Depot village has now four dry goods and grocery houses, with large stocks of goods, two confectioners, one hard- ware and tinware store, two shoemakers, two butchers, one painter, one blacksmith, one cabinet-maker, two barbers, several carpenters, etc. Th e business house of Tomlinson and Co. is probably the largest and best stocked in the county.” Freshman Seth Burns of Sewanee (left ) trying out for the student EMT squad on March 10, Two village buildings from that early period still exist as businesses with the help of fi refi ghter Tyler Cooney. Photo by Lyn Hutchinson today: the Lemon Fair (fi rst owned by Hoge and Miller) and Taylor’s Mercantile (leased fi rst by J. Mercer Cott en). By 1872 there were also quite a few residences in the village district, both south and north of the railroad. Community Th e railroad had been improved.

Tom Ward of Sewanee was the guest preacher at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., on March 18 when St. John’s had a surprise visit from the Obama family. Ward said that Luis Leon, rector of St. John’s (who is a Sewanee alum and regent) invited him to off er a centering prayer workshop, and preaching was part of this trip. Th e Obama family frequently at- tends St. John’s, which is located in La- fayett e Square near the White House. Ward’s sermon focused on the Gospel reading for the day, John 3:14– 21, and was about the slave trader John Newton, who repented and wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace.” “The gospel is all about grace, SES third-grade student Chase Cunningham (left ) explains amazing grace,” Ward preached. his Science Fair project to Dr. Amy Evans.
