Brown Patterson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Dean Patterson said the Minority-Scholar- in-Residence Program should be a great encouragement to minority scholars who have reached the dissertation level and will offer important benefits to the college as well. "From the institution's point of view, the program will enormously enrich the intellectual life of the university," said Patterson. A brochure about the new program calls attention to the "critical shortage of black and Hispanic scholars among the faculties of the nation's institutions of higher education" and the need for minority faculty, who could provide a greater diversity of experience within the faculty and curriculum, act as role models- especially for minority students— and enhance the attractiveness of the institution for minority students. Fellows will teach one course during their residency and will be expected to interact with students and participate in departmental

Other colleges beside the University of the South participating in the fellowship program are Bates College, Bowdoin, Bryn Mawr, Colby, Colorado College, Davidson, Grinnell, Franklin & Marshall, Lafayette, MacaleSter, Oberlin, Occidental, Pomona, Reed, Rhodes, Swarthmore, Trinity, and Wellesley.

Matching Gifts, New Directions

Matching gifts from corporations are important to Sewanee. Not only are they a source of financial support, but they are a very focused form of recognition of the University, enabling companies to show their appreciation for an institution that is valued by their employees. Further, these gifts encourage first and continuing gifts by the employee and lay the foundation for larger gifts "n the future. By participating in your employer's matching pft program, you, as an individual, are providing an important service to this institution. Matching gifts help us meet that vital, ongoing need for and Charley Watkins in the War Memorial Chapel annual gifts to operations (as distinguished from Chaplain Sam Uoyd, left, Linda Lowry, endowrrient and capital funds).

Team Spirit Rejuvenates Swimmers by Parker Oliver, C'89 The Sewanee Aquajocks, as they are fond of calling themselves, capped a superb season with a strong finish in the Liberal Arts Swimming and Diving Invitational in Greencastle, Indiana. The men captured fifth place, while the women swam away with an impressive second place in the February meet. "When twenty-five swimmers swim the fastest times of their lives, you can't be too disappointed," said Coach Cliff Afton.

In cultures in which poverty is rife, it becomes shameful for Church leaders to wait on the resolution of ecclesiastical issues before they work together to enact the Gospel mandate to feed the hungry and care for the poor. Such ecclesiastical debates take place in the Third World, but they are given a different priority than they are given at Cambridge or Edinburgh. The controlling factor is perspective. Things look quite a bit different if one stands with the

poor than if one stands in the midst of American affluence. They look different from the midst of a Muslim culture than from that of American secularism. And insofar as our affluence and secularism tend to create spiritual poverty and

In coadjutor in 1980 and installed as the twelfth diocesan bishop of South Carolina in 1982, has announced that he plans to resign soon to give full time to an active ministry of "teaching, preaching, and writing." A special convention is expected to be held later this year to elect his successor, and then Bishop Allison will presumably step down in late 1989 or early 1990. Early press reports suggested that Bishop Allison's decision to resign was related to the election and consecration of Barbara Harris as suffragan

bishop of Massachusetts, but Bishop Allison has made it clear that this is not the case. Last summer Bishop Allison discussed with other bishops his decision to resign. In a letter to clergy and lay leaders of his diocese, he spoke of "a great

sadness" in relinquishing his duties. However, he said he is convinced that there is "a need for people who are willing to write and to speak clearly and faithfully on the contemporary issues of the Faith." After graduating from Sewanee, Bishop Allison received his divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Oxford. He taught church history at Sewanee from 1956 to 1967, and at Virginia Seminary from 1967 to 1975. At the time of his election as bishop coadjutor in 1980, he was rector of Grace Church in New York City. He has also preached and taught in England and is an American canon of St. Andrew's Cathedral in Aberdeen, Scotland. Bishop Allison has written several books; the latest. The Cruelty of Heresy, will be published this fall by Morehouse-Bartow. He has written Priestly, a fellow-in-residence at the School Theology from the University Exeter, J.G. of of and spoken frequently on theological education and has published works enjoys an informal dinner with James Nixon, T'90, Shenill Page, T'90, and Ernest on baptism and confirmation.

The Right Reverend John Maury Allin, C'43, T'45, has been named Sewanee's 1989 Distinguished Alumnus by the University's Associated Alumni. Bishop Allin, retired presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church and former chancellor of the University of the South, was honored at Friday evening's homecoming dinner for his loyalty and service to his alma mater and for his diverse contributions to the Episcopal Church. "Bishop Allin has served his church with compassion and perseverance through one of the most significant eras in its history," said Associated Alumni President R. Lee Glenn. "Elected as presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church and as chancellor of the University in the same year, he provided steady lead- ership for the national church through those tumultuous times when such is- sues as the ordination of women and the use of the newly revised prayer book were creating conflict throughout the church."

Bishop Allin, known to most of us as Jack, was chancellor of the University of the South from 1973 to 1979 and served as a member of the University's Board of Trustees (1959-1973) and Board of Regents (1965-1973). In recent years he was national co-chairman of Century II, the University's successful $50-mil!ion campaign. In 1987, he returned to his alma mater to serve as interim chaplain for two semesters.

A native of Helena, Arkansas, Allin attended both college and seminary at Sewanee. He has served parishes and Episcopal institutions in Arkansas and Louisiana. Prior to his election as presiding bishop in 1973, he had been bishop for twelve years in the Diocese of Mississippi. He also served as Episcopal chaplain at Tulane University and Newcomb College in New Orleans and later as headmaster of All Saints' School in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Bishop Allin and his wife, Ann, have recently moved from Sewanee to Jackson, Mississippi.

Boston-born Edith Dowling McCrady, edu- cated at Northfield-Mount Hcrmon School and Simmons College, came to Sewanee in 1937 when her husband assumed leadership of the University's biology department. When Edward McCrady became the eleventh Vicc-Chanccllor of the University of the South in 1950, Edith McCrady graciously took up the calling as Sewanee's first lady, managing four children, Fulford Hall, and an exacting schedule of Uni- versity duties. In addition, Mrs. McCrady has always been active in the life of the Sewanee community, with memberships in the Hospital Auxiliary, Otey Parish organizations, the Episco- pal Church Women, and St. Augustine's Guild. She was founding president of the Friends of duPont Library and most recently has joined the Board of Advisors at St. Andrew's-Sewanee School. Each of the four McCrady children attended the University. Edward McCrady III, C'55, serves as a Trustee of the University; he teaches biology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. John McCrady, C'59, is in the elec- tronics business in Dallas, Texas. Waring McCrady, C'59, lives and teaches in Sewanee and is chairman of the University's French Department.

Storrs, Connecticut, is a small college town set in what used to be farmland. If s still a very rural spot; the university there has a large agri- cultural farm where Pickering says he likes to wander. "I'm very earthy," the 47-year-old pro- fessor says. "I know the weeds and the mead- ows. I've even named a pond after myself. I've named it Pickering Pond, and I think it will stick. I spent a week after I first got back from Nova Scotia looking at all the bugs on the pond." Pickering sits on the local school board in Storrs. A registered Republican, he was drafted by the Democrats to run for office. But his affil- iation with the GOP was always more accidental than a matter of conviction.When he first moved to Storrs, he went to the election board and asked to be registered as a member of whatever party was in the minority. "I didn't want to be one of the herd," he explains mock-seriously. "I think a person should have a lot of duties in his little world," he says more soberly. "I think every person ought to serve his community at least once."

But the school board is as far as his political ambitions extend, "i was accused of being a

Communist the other day," he reports. "I tell people I'm a Communist Republican." Does he have an interest in politics? "None," he says. Then, in one of those rapid-fire digres- sions that mark his conversation, "How can people not believe the greed rampant in this country? If s wild. It's insane."

senior Suzy Cahill, returning from a year of

study in England, the team is optimistic for a successful season. "We have three of the strong- est runners in the conference," notes Coach Cliff Afton, who begins his ninth year at Sewanee. Harris also led the team as a freshman, win- ning the WIAC Championship, the South/ Southeast Regional, and placing 47th at the NCAA Division III Nationals. Other team members include sophomores Franci Armstrong, Kelli Copeland, Catherine Creagh, Andrea Frost, Ashley Griffin, Simone Phillips, Fairlie Scott, and senior Kathy Gotko.

"This is a young team, but I see great possibili- ties. Experience will be the key to improvement and confidence," says Coach Afton. Many of these athletes also compete in other sports at Se- wanee. Harris, Mitchell, and Creagh are mem- bers of the track team, Scott plays tennis, Arm- strong plays field hockey, Phillips competes with the swim team, and Cahill holds several school records in swimming. Men's Cross Country

Sewanee's top runners are Captain Duke Richey, a senior from Chattanooga, and Denny Kezar, a senior from Bradenton, Horida. At the CAC Championships in Memphis last month, Sewa- nee ran a close third behind first-place Centre College and second-place Rhodes College. Denny Kezar won the conference individual championship, while Duke Richey took third place. In general, this year's Sewanee team is about on par with those of the last three years. Duke and Denny are solid competitors for this part of the country and will represent us well in November at the NCAA Regional Champion- ships in North Carolina.

The roommates saw each other for the first time since 1917 two years ago in Sewanee. They both had left college for the armed forces

during World War I, Avent joining the army's 31st division for two years. While m school here, Avent fell in love with Sewanee and decided to retire

here in 1949. It was only semi-retirement, since he worked as controller for the University for four years. Avent, who has attended most homecomings since 1949, said, "This year's homecoming was a very good one. We took Class of 1934 in everything." He also enjoyed seeing other alumni and members of his Fourteen Class of 1939'ers and their wives celebrated a festive 50th fraternity. Phi Delta Theta. Avent has three children, including alumnus reunion. The class presented three reunion gifts to the University: a statu jimmy Avent, Jr., C'59, who rustled up the barbecue supper for over 600 of Leonidas Polk in the reredos in the chapel, a bench at the site of the

hungry alumni on Homecoming Saturday night. Avent has six original St. Augustine's Chapel, and a scholarship yet to be designated. grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren. Traveling the farthest to attend the reunion was George Wagnon, who traveled from Anchorage, Alaska. Alex Guerry has Joe Namath adver- tising one of Chattem's new products for athletes, something called Flex. Les McLaurin, who has lived in Sewanee since 1961, and Bob Turner, who serves as the class representative, did most of the organizing for this mem- orable event Unfortunately Bob could not attend the reunion because of emergency heart surgery. He is now recuperating at home in Port Char- lotte, Florida. Morgan Hall, donor of the Hall Trophy, which is awarded to the class with the highest percentage of alumni giving, is vice-president of Joshua L. Baily & Co. and was a president of his class for more than two years. His weekend kicked off to a good start when his birthday was announced at the football game. He carried the Exornati banner in the parade and ran into his brother, the Rev. George Hall, C34. His son, Morgan Hall, Jt, '69, traveled from New Orleans to join in the family fun and celebrate his 20th r

Celebrating the 60th reunion were twelve classmates, their spouses and

guests, about 30 in all. Most arrangements were the responsibility of Stan Burrows and Billy Schoolfield, who also served as M.C. for the Class of '29 reunion dinner. Reflecting as a group on countless Sewanee memories made the evening a big success!

The Class of 1934 was heartily represented by nine spirited alums and their guests. Class officer Doc Cravens addressed the group at their reunion dinner in Monteagle. The Rev. George Hall, a former University chaplain as well as football coach, probably traveled the farthest. He joumied from Santa Barbara, California. Dudley Fort enjoyed sharing the !

Bishop Fitz Allison's Saturday morning sermon for the Class of '49 was delivered to a full house and received rave reviews. The weekend festivities started on Friday with a luncheon at the Lookout Mountain home of John Guerry and his wife, Carolyn, and concluded with a cocktail buffet on Saturday evening for at least 75 alums and guests at Rebel's Rest. Many thanks to Jack Stephenson for handling arrangements for the buffet, to Wells Hanley for setting up the communion service, and to Jim Clark for help with the luncheon. And special kudos to John Guerry for spearheading the entire reunion effort!

The Class of '64 started celebrating their 25th reunion early with a shrimp and crab boil at the Tiger Pub on Thursday night. The Rev. Dwight Ogier, chairman for the class, served as chef. Ted Stickney brought up shrimp from Mobile and Don Wilson, C'63, brought crab from New Orleans. Ogier and and his wife, Babs, live in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he has been associate rector of St. Michael's Episcopal Church for two years. Class president and artist Joseph Winkelman, now living in Oxford, England, exhibited 50 of his prints in the University Gallery and hosted a reception for the public on Saturday morning. Mr. Winkelman, who specializes in fine printmaking, lectured for the art department while he was here. Classmate Doug Bulcao won overall at the 10K alumni road race on Saturday morning. Later that afternoon the classmates came together for brunch. Getting into the spirit of homecoming, many classmates wore reminders of their freshman year such as beanies and fraternity pins along with the same Scwanee tics worn by some at their

commencement. Later the class gathered at the Bishop's Common for its banquet and enjoyed remarks by Willie Cocke, who had taught many of them Freshman English. Joe Winkelman was toastmaster for an evening that was capped off with music of the late 50s and early 60s. Classmate and dean of The School of Theology Robert Giannini celebrated Sunday's corporate communion in St. Augustine's Chapel. Some classmates also had reunions with children who are currently undergraduates at Sewanee. Dr. David Dye's son is attending St. Andrew's-Sewanee. Two class members, Fred Miller and Jack Royster, are grandfathers and have volunteered to assist Ogier with the class pyramid system, each heading up 12 teams. Hayes Noel and Daniel B. Murray left the earthquake destruction of California to attend this reunion. "This was a successful reunion, a wonderful time to see old friends and renew relationships," Ogier said. "We started planning for the weekend a year in advance, with two committee meetings in the Atlanta airport!" The committee included Al Schmutzer, Doug Bulcao, Phil Frontier, Tommy Mason, Jim Yeary, Harry Babbit, Allen Wallace, D.B.

Knowledge and the search for understanding are cardinal features of a liberal arts education. But such an education deliberately tries to help students and faculty alike live in a world where the framework for life is always fuzzy, the challenges ambiguous, and outcomes uncertain. A liberal arts education, by exposing students to the record of human folly and achievement, prepares students not only for careers but also for the act of living, for life. Nothing in life remains unaltered, unchanged, static—not students, not faculty, not the curriculum, not the church. A good liberal arts education will help individuals deal with uncertainty and change, with disruption and sudden turns of fortune.

Whether it is the world of science stunned by a great new discovery or the fabric of a political system coming apart, as we see in Eastern Europe, a liberal arts graduate should not be surprised at change. As we recognize the processes of change in the world and ourselves, mature, wc will, it is to be hoped, become more better able to accept change, and less inclined to bewail our future prospects.
