Burke The Student Vestry The Student Vestry is a representative body of ten students elected from classes of the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences and from the Theological School, whose aim is the development of the religious life of the University by: (a) Acting as an advisory council to the Chaplain in expressing the wishes and needs of the students, and in aiding the Chaplain in his work. (b) Initiating and fostering such local plans and organizations as will further the cause of the Christian religion at Sewanee; and (c) Affiliating with religious organizations and movements in other colleges and universities. A vestrvman must be elected from the class he represents and must be a baptized member of some Christian communion. The Vestry carries on its work through five standing committees, composed of vestrymen and other students of the University. These committees are designated as follows: (a) Missions, (b) Religious Education and Worship, (c) Personal and Social Service; (d) Finance, (e) Pub- licity.

Cubbage Coming to Sewanee from Virginia Poly- technic Institute, has made many friends in one year ' s time through his magnetic per- sonality and wonderful coaching ability. Coach Cubbage turned out one of the most powerful lines among football teams of the South, and developed a track team which finished the season with a record of iooo per cent. Dr. M. S. Bennett Head coach of the University and director of athletics, using the Bennett system of ath- letics, each year rounds out the typical Se- wanee teams whose paean is: When the one great Scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the game. 76 DOC )T7 ( I fcsa THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 -m i nr 3n £E35 nc in i i nr e¥ The Managers William S.

This choice showed lack of fore- thought, because the lowly visitors showed themselves to be most unwilling to give up their lives on the altar. The first half found them tearing and plunging through the Tiger forward wall and they stopped only when the goal posts were behind them. The stunned and surprised Tiger fought back and shortly had the Brysonites on the retreat. The second half was all Sewanee ' s. Two touchdowns and a safety were scored by an infuriated jungle beast. Kimhrough scored our first touchdown of the season when he fell on a blocked punt behind the goal line. Immediately after the ensuing kickoff Helvey showed remarkable ability at navigation and plowed his way across the last white mark. To cap the climax Cooke broke through and pinned McDill for a safety. The team in its initial start showed marked lack of practice, but much joy was derived from the individual efforts of the various men. Helvey, converted from a tackle to a fullback, gave a great exhibition of line plunging. Captain Todd, Small, and Kimhrough also played effective football. The team was handicapped by the presence of several Alabama scouts on the sidelines. This prevented the use of any plays other than those of the old army variety. Sewanee, 48; Tennessee Teachers, o In place of the football game scheduled for the second of October, the Tigers indulged in a riotous track meet at the expense of the Teachers. Football equipment was worn, but track DEC DUC 9 -ini mr THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 3n £ E3 e¥ clothes would have been in order. Touchdowns came as regularly as the quarters, though more often. Captain Jed Todd was the man who took the tucker out of the Teachers. He did all that was possible for a man with two legs to do. The opening touchdown came as a result of his brilliant fifty-yard run through the entire Teacher outfit. From then on the Tigers couldn ' t help but score. Helvey added three touchdowns and six extra points to his total, while Young and Rice entered the scoring with a six-pointer apiece. Only by the names could one tell that this Tiger team was the same one that had met Bryson the week before. The Purple gridders looked and acted like a real football team. Sewaxee, 3; Texas A. M., 6 A week later the Tigers left the Mountain for the fir t time, and for the first time tasted the bitter dregs of defeat. Fate stalked in the wake of the Sewanee team. For three periods we outplayed and outscored the Aggies. Late in the second quarter Helvey dropped back to trv for a field goal. The pass from center was low and the ball rolled on the ground. Our line held and Helvey had all the time he needed. Carefully he kicked and the ball sailed between the posts. It was one of the most unusual field goals ever kicked. Thus the score remained until but three minutes of play were left. For the first time the heat became unbearable. Coach Mike had used every available man and those left in the game were wilting fast. Then the Aggies started a drive. They gained the ball in midfield and by stealing our own thunder, the triple pass, they took the leather egg over the goal line to victory. The Tigers were tired, but DEC DEC in i i nr THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 in i t nr e¥ eleven strong the stars.

There were no Sewanee stars are found in the entire Sewanee, O; Alabama. 2 Touchdown Alabama was never before chanted with such fervor and with so little results. A Purple team, resolved to give till it hurt, met a perfect machine that afterwardss claimed the national championship, and fought it to a stand. till. Not until the last quarter was Alabama able to dent our defense. With but a few minutes to play, the Tiger forewall relaxed for a moment and Captain Todd ' s attempted punt was blocked. He recovered behind the goal line and was tackled by Pickard for a safety. That was the margin of victory. Sewanee thus met defeat, beaten but not whipped. The game was one for the gods. Never before had a Southern gridiron witnessed such a battle. At first ' Bama was entirely on the defensive. Back, back, the Tigers drove the Tide until we had the ball and first down on ' Bama ' s seven-yard line. The game was ours. But Fate, in the human form of Referee Strupper, stepped in and dealt us a body blow. A Tiger had held, or so it was said, and sadly we watched the czar of the field set us back fifteen yards. There still remained a chance for victory and Todd took it, but his passes failed and the Tide took the ball. Gradually the weight of the big red team made itself felt and they took, for the first time, the offensive. Three times they knocked at the Sewanee goal and three times Kimbrough and Company rose up and hurled them back. At the end of this third time Todd ' s kick was blocked, the safety resulted and the game was lost. The Birmingham papers called Helvey the greatest football team they had ever seen, but they were mistaken. Helvey was but one-eleventh of that team that stood ' Bama on her head. The papers were right in naming Helvey as a great star, but they could with justice have named any other Tiger who played that day. Sewanee, o; Auburn. 9 The gruelling struggle of the week before was more than our team could stand. Hardly had they loosened up their sore muscles when they had to beard the Auburn Tiger in his lair on the plains of Alabama. Courageously they went into the fight, but the punch was not there. The Tigers were listless and worn out. Auburn, alive and vigorous, immediately began a des- perate attack. They drove to our one-yard line. Then that old Sewanee spirit made itself evident as the Tiger line stood like the rock of Gibraltar, while Auburn pounded futilely four times. Schoolfield kicked out of danger and on the very next play all the splendid stone-wall 8+ DOC Dn-S Eog nc DEC fo THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 DEC DHC Dn 3£l nc Dnc DHC e¥ work of the line was spoiled. Moulton tossed a pass to Snyder and that worthy crossed our goal line for the first score. Shortly after that Helvey fumbled a pass behind his goal line and Auburn counted a safety. The Tigers never threatened seriously. Turfie Johnson broke away for sixty yards on the opening kickoff, but he failed to score, and his mates never came near to it. Kimhrough, Rice and Johnson did real things for the Tigers, while the husky Moulton and the speedy Snyder were the Auburn luminaries. Sewanee, o; Texxessee. 12 Rare intelligence was shown by the student body when they bought round-trip tickets to this game. Had they failed to do so, Sewanee would have had to move to Knoxville, because the Vols not only captured the game, but the Vol supporters took undisputed possession of the Purple purse strings. The Volunteers, showing the spirit of all true volunteers, were about as gentle as a Kansas cyclone. A certain gentleman, Dick Dodson by name, but bearing more resemblance to Moby Dick than to a human, led that cyclone from his post at fullback. Taking the ball on the opening kick-off, he advanced by deadly thrusts and jabs to a point where he could view the proceedings from behind the Sewanee goal posts. This manoeuver by Mr. Dodson required a paltry three minutes of his time. After this bad start the Tigers stiffened, and it was not until the close of the second quarter that Tennessee was able to score again. This time it was Witt (not very funny at that) who sent a drop kick across to add three more points to our humiliation. McKeen repeated with another three-pointer in the third canto. With the game nearly over and the grim specter of defeat looming ever greater, the Tigers opened up a brilliant offensive. Todd filled the air with short passes. A great many of these took, and finally there was a line of Purple jersies roosting on the Tennessee five-yard line. Helvey smashed to the one-yard line, but could go no farther. The ball went over and the game ended. Tommy Young was the big noise on the offensive, while Rice and Johnson starred on the defense. The real feature of the game was the Sewanee passing attack. Twelve out of twenty-two were com- pleted for a gain of something like 150 yards, but all to no avail. The goal line punch was still missing. Seyvaxee, 7; Tulaxe, 19 On November 13, we drew up in battle array against our ancient foes, the Greenies. It looked like a toss-up. Either side might win, but Sewanee was considered to have the best chance. Tulane had different ideas on the subject, and before the game was one minute old the Praline boys had slipped over a touchdown. It all happened thusly: A midget flash, one Ike Armstrong, took the ball on the first scrimmage of play of the game and wended his way to the Tiger goal line, 62 yards away. Sewanee had thought that Peggy Flournoy was gone forever, but the shades of the illustrious peggy returned in the form of little Ike. Nothing else happened 5 DEC DHC ¥5 nc THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 TT Du %®izm uc nc DEC e¥ until the third quarter, hut in that period the wearers of the Green counted twice more. This was too much. Our hattle-scarred Tigers had been beaten before, but they had never taken such treatment as this and they did not propose to let it pass unpunished. A drive was launched that ended only when Todd passed to Autin for a score. Helvey kicked goal. It was the first and only Tiger score in a conference game. Again Tommy Young was the offensive star of the Purple, supported by Johnson and Todd. Young ran the opening kick-off back for 75 yards, but he was caught from behind on the Tulane ten-yard line. Kimbrough, Aucoin, and Bruton shone brilliantly in the line. Sewanee, o; Vanderbilt, ij Turkey Day rolled around once more and Yandy won the turkey. The best team won, but only after a terrific battle that was fought in midfield with but two exceptions. Vanderbilt got loose twice and these two times spelled defeat for Sewanee. After 29 minutes of scoreless football, the Commodores gained the ball on our forty-yard line and completed two passes that placed them in scoring position. Then Bill Hendricks bucked across the goal line. In the third quarter this same Mr. Hendricks dashed around end for forty yards and another touchdown. These two sudden jumps from midfield to the goal were Vandy ' s only indications of any superiority over the Tigers. Sewanee has no alibis. The Tiger wanted the game. The game lost, he makes no excuses. The team gave its all and it was not enough. Johnson was the individual star of the game for both side.. Kirby-Smith ended his last game in a blaze of glory. The rest were splendid, and they retained their warm spot in the hearts of Sewanee followers. As for the Commodore: Clean sportsmen all, thev are just as graceful winners as one could wish to be beaten by. Hendricks and Sanders, who replaced Spears, were the stars for Yandy. Walter Eckersall, famous player and football authority, termed the game as the cleanest he had ever witnessed. It was a fitting tribute to both Tiger and Commodore. DEC = n«5£3£knc DEC ¥5 Dm nr THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 )ni inc Frosh Football e¥ On September 23, Coach Hek Clark issued a call for candidates for the fresh- man football team. Some sixty men, all having visions of varsity berths in the future, reported. After two weeks of strenuous work, Coach Clark was able to form several teams. As has happened in recent years, the frosh candidates all wanted to be Granges. There were three times as many backfield candidates as their were linesmen. Finally, order was brought out of the chaos and a few Granges were induced to emulate themselves after Heffelfinger. Things began to look better, and by the day of the first game Hek had a very likely looking bunch of yearlings. The season opened with a loss to Tennessee Poly by a score of 9 to 7. The Tiger- ettes rolled up fourteen first downs to three for the visitors, but fumbles and an inter- cepted pass cost them the game. Although they were defeated, the frosh showed much promise for the future. The next Saturday saw our ambitious first year men in contest with the varsity. They bit off more than they could chew, and the varsity ran over them for 48 points. The first yearers were dangerous toward the last and might have scored had they had time. The Normal Reserves were next taken into camp by a 10 to O count. The frosh were outweighed, but they were effective throughout because of their superiority in speed and headwork. Hubble, fullback, accounted for all ten points. He intercepted a pass and ran seventy yards for a touchdown, and in the last quarter he kicked a field goal from the 20-yard line. A gent by the name of Stumpy Thompson, with the aid of ten other Georgia Tech Rats, next trounced our miniature Tigers. The score was 4.2 to 6. On the opening kick-off, George Bennett raced 90 yards for a score. From then on it was a DHC 87 Dn3§S «sS§$nc DEC ¥5 THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 ease of too much Thompson. He was the mainspring in the visitors ' attack. This game brought to light the weakness of the Tiger line. The fight was there, but the weight was lacking. McMinnville High School next came to the Mountain. The high school boys went home with a freshman scalp dangling to their collective belt. They counted thirteen points to our six in a very listless game. The Tigers were superior in all save aggressiveness and fight. They seemed stale. On the Saturday before Turkey Day the Commodore Rats were met in Nashville. When the game was over the score board read : Vandy, 38 ; Sewanee, 0. The first half was a battle royal, with the Commodore frosh holding the fort with one touch- down. In the third quarter they scored another six-pointer, but in the last quarter our bovs decided to depend wholly on a passing attack, and the result was fatal. Halls Hew this way and that, and as the time grew shorter the heaves grew wilder. The alert and eager Vandy Rats intercepted three of these wild heaves for touchdowns, and captured another which they put in position to score. The Tigerettes returned to the mountain a much sadder but wiser crew. Among the men developed for future use are the following: McGown, O ' Grady, A. E. Young, Bennett, Hubble, Frizzelle, Maxon, Mahoney, Moise, Reeder, Price, Crossland, Owen, Putnam, Darden, Thornton, and Smith.

Practice started early in the fall, but it was not until after the football season that the men got down to serious work. Grad- ually the aspirants dropped out until at the end of the season only Captain Helvev, Williams, Monoghan, Bruton, Rigsbee, Bean, Jakes, and Davis remained. The Season Opened With a pilgrimage through Mississippi and Louisiana. The cagers of Ole Miss were the first hosts to the Tigers. They proved very able hosts in every way, except that they walked away with the game by a score of 48 to 13. The Barnesmen could not hit the basket, while the Mississippians could not miss. The Team Then Jumped To Starkville and met the Mississippi Aggies. Another overwhelming defeat was suffered at the hands of Bryan, Selby et al. The Aggies were just too good, and the Tigers never had a look-in. The score was 53 to 10. A Better Performance Was Recorded In New Orleans. True, the Greenies of Tulane captured two tilts from the Purple basketeers, but not before two fierce battles had been waged. In the first encounter the score was tied at twenty for each team when a Tulanite dropped a free throw through the hoop in the closing minute of play. In the second game the defense of the Tigers was again superb, but the shooting was off. Sewanee led at one stage of the game by four points, but Tulane rallied and ran out the victory, 20 to 16. More Louisiana Punishment Was suffered at the hands of L. S. I . This time the margin of defeat was three points, 26 to 23, to be exact. The team showed marked improvement in this fracas and lost by a hair. The fact that the Tigers lost the last three games of their trip by a combined total of eight points is worthy of note. Bryson Furnished the Meat To make a Roman holiday when the Tigers returned to the Mountain. Perfect teamwork and the sensational goal-tossing of Ben Monaghan gave Bryson a 46 to 11 licking. It was the first Tiger victory, and much joy was derived therefrom. Monaghan was high-point man, with twenty points. Coach Barnes used all of his reserves, and found that no harm was done while thev were in the fray. 9i e¥ THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 m i mi — i n gr Piy- n c m i mi A Snag Was Struck At Murfreesboro. This snag proved to be none other than our old cage rivals, the Teachers, who doubled the score, 42 to 21. The Tigers started off with a rush and were in the lead until Fam- brough got busy and scored enough points to beat us single-handed. The Tigers vowed revenge, and ho wthey got it will be told in a future volume entitled, The Teachers at Sewanee, or A Tiger ' s Revenge. For the First Time In fifteen years Tiger met Commodore on the basketball court. Now we wish we hadn ' t. The firm of Stuart and Company passed that ball as if it were a marble. They shot fast and often. The desperate efforts of Bruton and Rigsbee could not prevent a 53 to 18 defeat. Vandy looked just too good, and they proved it later by winning the Conference championship. Revenge is Sweet According to the Sewanee team, and they proceeded to sail into Frank Faulkinbury ' s Teachers and take that revenge. The Teachers were confident of an easy victory, but they failed to take into consideration the Sewanee fight. An 1 1 to 2 lead was grabbed by the enemy at the start, but this was gradually cut down, and with a few minutes to play Sewanee went into a two-point lead. A Tiger, when aroused, is hard to satisfy. This one did not stop until he had clawed those Normalites to the tune of 28 to 20. Hope, injected into the line-up in the second half, was the charge that set off the dynamite. He counted ten points, and succeeded in putting the pep into his teammates. The Teachers will remember that game for many a day. Back Came Vandy For a taste of more Tiger meat. This time the meat was a little harder to get, and the game was in doubt until just before the end, when Stuart, Commodore pivot man, ran wild and gave the visitors a safe lead. The game was a thriller. The entire student body turned out to support the Tigers. They responded by fighting until the last gasp. The final count was 31 to 18, a score which is a fair indicator of the comparative strength of the two teams. The guarding of Bruton featured the Sewanee play. An Invasion of Alabama Resulted in a 46 to 15 licking at the hands of Auburn. The Plainsmen had a brilliant team, which specialized in plain and fancy shooting. The Tigers were helpless, and were forced to watch Auburn ' s fancy work. The less said about this game the better. 92 m%® i DUO THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 n i — Dn 3E3S nc rac DEC e¥ And Now, Fie for Shame! The Tide of Alabama, with a horribly weak team, whipped the Tigers, 28 to 9. O Death, where is thy sting? The time is out of joint. Whoever heard of such a thing? Sewanee was putrid and ' Bama was little better. The Tigers should have beaten that Crimson by many points, and yet they were beaten bv many. The coroner ' s verdict was, Death due to unknown causes. C)X THE MOUNTAIN Auburn was not as potent, or perhaps the Purple men were more potent than before. At any rate the Plainsmen had a hard time winning by a score of 35 to 28. Rigsbee and Dubose staged a close race for individual honors, and the Auburn victory is due to the fact that DuBose suc- ceeded in making more goals at the last than Rigsbee could. The real score of the game might be announced as Dubose 20, Rigsbee 15, except that this would not be fair to Williams, Hope, Bruton, and Monaghan. A-A-AHH! Victory! Bryson was once more the fruit, this time on the enemy court. Eckie Williams blossomed out and scored twenty points, while his teammates were gathering twenty-two more. The best Bryson could do was a score of eighteen points. The Tigers were never pushed, and they never extended themselves in this final game of the season. Monoghan and Hope again covered themselves with glory.

Ooach Barnes worked hard to round his team into shape, and he evolved a very creditable machine composed of Wildfire Smith, Sory, Way, Frizzelle, Moise, Mines, Bonds, and Owen. The first game resulted in a defeat at the hands of Chattanooga Central by a score of 31-16. After that the frosh whipped the Sewanee Athletic Club and the Cadets from the Academy several times in scrimmage games. A two-game series was divided with Winchester High, and likewise with Decherd. Tullahoma was defeated twice, and the Saints of St. Andrews received a beating in the only game with them. The smooth machine of City High, Chattanooga, took the first year men into tow by a considerable margin just before the close of the season. The team was ably managed by Barry Moeser, who was elected to the varsity managership for next year. The frosh showed much individual promise, and several of them are expected to land varsity herths in the future. 94 DHC DEC ¥5 pn i nc THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 ) m m c d¥s ' H ( nc d n J b o £J£ n c DOC 5 DH( )H THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 mi nc e¥ Varsity Track Season Schedule March 26 Inter-Dormitory Meet Sewanee Inn, 37 r 4 points April 2 Varsity vs. Freshmen Varsity April 9 Tech Relays April i Sewanee vs. Tennessee, at Knoxville 69-45 April 2( Sewanee vs. Florida, at Gainesville 56-56 April 29-30 Interscholastic Meet May 7 Sewanee vs. Kentucky, at Sewanee . 86-34 May 14 w Southern Conference Meet, Baton Rouge. | [ Sewanee sixth place with 16J 2 points. m Interfraternity Meet Orin G.

Hamilton broke the two-mile record at n minutes, 27 seconds. Honors went to the Inn, with a total of 37J 2 points, Hoffman taking second place with 30JA points. A practice meet between the varsity and the com- bined forces of S. M. A. and the frosh track aspirants resulted in an overwhelming victory for the varsity. All first places except two were taken by the veterans, and some very good time trials were recorded. Tech Relays At Atlanta the Purple cinder stars met the cream of the South ' s track talent. Helvey, Sewanee ' s moun- tainous captain, was the only Sewanee man to score. Mount took second place in both shot and discus, ceding first to the mighty Nesom of L. S. U. The remaining Tiger stars fumed and flew, but eliminated by the speedsters of Indiana, Clemson, and L. S. U. Sewanee, 69; Tennessee, 45 The prancing Tigers really did things down on the lanes of Knoxville. With Jesse Ragan stepping into the tape in the 220 and century and chalking up five points in the broad jump, Sewanee claimed not only the high-point man, but his two nearest competitors. Captain Helvey scored first in the shot and discus and hurled the javelin to an easy second. Autin, the one- man track team, took the low hurdles and the half- mile, and led the relay team to overwhelming victory.

Sewanee, 86; Kentucky, 34 Days were when the Wildcats usually brought tears along with their tracking crew, but the Tigers had the day this year from the time Mr. Willey ' s pistol went pop. Duvey Cravens, back with spikes on, took high- point honors for the day with eleven points. Something tells us that Tommy Young is a second cousin to Mer- cury.

When the potentate of Sewanee football uncorked his intramural athletic system several years back, there wa. a general rumpus in the coaching fraternity to the effect that the high altitude wasn ' t agreeing with Mike. Things like that had been tried and had succeeded half way. But nobody was foolish enough to believe it would actually go over. Mike was. The final report of the athletic board of control indicates that the system is something more than a good idea. It works. The proof of it is that practically every student in the University has taken part in some sport under the direction of the Bennett system. Football, basketball, baseball, track, handball, tennis, golf, and boxing are the departments represented in the general scheme. When the long-dreamed-of swimming pool materializes, aquaitcs will be added to the dry-land sports. Under the Bennett plan interfraternity athletics have become an institution. In the track meet alone one hundred and fifty Greeks were entered. Never before have extra-varsity events caused so much interest. The championship series of the baseball mix-up brought the whole student body out to roast on Hardee. Whiskery and the Fijis, the Derby and the Home-Run Circus, held twin places in the lime-light of spring sports. The co-operation of Coach Cubbage and the interest of Coach Barnes has contributed a great deal to the system, and Sewanee owes a real debt to her Three Musketeers for pounding out something real to put her athletic feet on. Kappa Alpha s March to Victory in Basketball God and the ladies were on the side of the Kappa Alpha basketeers as the Maltese Cross and Phi Diddles bowed in defeat.

Its membership consists of two represent- atives from each of the national Greek letter societies. The Council issues rules governing rushing of new men and, in cases of violation of these regulations, acts as a court to try the offending fraternity or individual. It is significant to note that there have been no cases of violation of Pan-Hellenic rules during the past three years. Much favorable comment on the Sewanee system of rushing has been heard from various universities in the South, and in some cases the plans adopted by Sewanee Pan-Hellenic in 1924 have been copied by neigh- boring schools. The second Sunday after the opening of the school year is usually designated by Pan-Hellenic as Pledge Day. At this time men who have received invitations to join fraternities go to the house of their choice to be welcomed by their future brothers. Officers of Pan-Hellenic Council for the year 1926-1927 were: Herbert L. Eustis, Jr., president, and T. R. Waring, Jr., secretary. 105 - tti inJ ?g.jC n i m r ¥5 THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 e¥ ( inc 1 06 dec ¥5 doc THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 zni zz 3nf CJS3 nc in i m r M ALPHA TAU OMEGA Founded at Virginia Military Institute, 1865 Tennessee Omega Chapter, Installed, 1877 Colors: Old Gold and Sky Blue Flower: White Tea Rose Chapter Membership In Officio Rt.

Each year, in an atmosphere where the only bodies which function efficiently are the self-perpetuating bodies, the elected staff of the Cap and Gown, with its small corps of voluntary workers, struggles unselfishly, in order that the good name of Sewanee remain unsullied by the stigma of having begot an inferior publication. Each year the struggle is greater, and the support weaker, while the staff endeavors to improve on previous an- nuals by adding more color, more illustrations, and more expensive fea- tures. They are faced with an ever-diminishing budget, showing fewer subscribers , fewer contributions, fewer supporters, and a general show of less interest than the preceding year. In this decline of a student activity with a background of thirty-three years, we sense the trend of all demo- cratic institutions to decay, and we wonder if the ultimate end will be the absorption of the Cap and Gown by an established or newly created organization, with the power of self-perpetuation and the indelible stamp of oligarchy. Too much credit cannot be given the active members of the staff, for the success of this volume. The most important detail, namely finances, was handled in a very efficient manner by Herbert Eustis. Harry Ran- som, editor of the 1926 Cap and Gown, rendered invaluable assistance in the literary and technical details. Much of the labor was lifted from the editor ' s shoulders by the consistent work of John R. Crawford, managing editor and editor-elect for 1928. To George Cunningham we are indebted for most of the art work and cartoons. Others on the staff performed their duties efficiently and well, without exception. We wish to thank the representatives of White Studio for their sin- cere co-operation and interest in the Cap and Gown. And finally, too much credit cannot be given Benson Printing Company and Cap- itol Engraving Company for their patience and consideration. one on Se iaS$£nc one - THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 i H( m m yryenj tm i nc=)n( p Editor s Plea (With Apologies to Portia) The evidence of envy is not small; It creepeth into every nook and cranny Of our exalted hill. It is twice curs ' d — It curses both our students and our profs. Tis the ugliest of our faults: It becomes In time the leader of our every act, While guiding us to deeds of unkind breed — This countenance of evil jealousy. So why not oust this vile gcntilicide. Our friendship does not harbour selfishness ; It is the essence of Age-Old Sewanee: A selfless love of man for man. Sewanee shows most like her ideal self. When envy is forgot. Once upon a time, years and years ago, an annual was put out in Sewanee in which no article appeared complaining about the great amount of work done by the staff, and the small amount of co-opera- tion from the students. That number of the Cap axd Gowx is the only one of its kind, and the customary gripe from the editor can be found in the editorial section of any Cap axd Gowx since 1892. The editor of that noble volume was W. H. MacKellar, at that time an under- graduate. The critic is a person who doubts the authority of the printed word. But the danger of the critic is that his works may fall into the hands of those who do not doubt the authority of the printed word. Similarly, the bolshevik is one who questions the authority of the powers that be. And, by analogy, the activities of the bolshevik in a demo- cratic community may be construed by an outsider to be the pleasure of the majority. Let us be progressive, but let us also remember that conservatism is the foundation of true progress. 135 ¥9 THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 pnc=)nc in- pa ncz — nc=)nc e¥ Cap and Gown Staff C. S.

For many years the Pur [ l? has been a mediocre publication; sometimes it would come out and at other times it would he sadly lacking. Editor T. R. Waring, Jr., took charge of the organization last fall and made things hum. He got together a staff that would work and do the work on time, and then proceeded to get out a paper that would he read. One evidence of that fact was the number of comments, favorable and otherwi e, to the news printed in its columns. Perhaps one of the incentives for the staff to work was an announcement made by the A. B. C. that gold keys would be awarded to those members of the staff who performed faithfully the work assigned to them. The promise was made good, and keys were awarded to five members of the staff: T. R. Waring, Jr., editor-in-chief; Frank D. Daley, managing editor; Charles E. Thomas, local editor; Hueling Davis, athletic editor, and John R. Crawford, assistant business manager. The Purplf of this year was certainly a surprise to everybody. Perhaps it was a surprise to itself, but nevertheless it was worth reading. Not only was all the news of the Mountain printed, but an adequate exchange was maintained, which did not specialize in joke- but in the reprinting of news items of interest in other college publications. In speaking of the Purple, a word of praise must not be omitted in favor of Mr. Sneed and the University Press. Without the assistance of Mr. Sneed and his organization this very necessary factor in student life would not be possible. Every week Mr. Sneed very carefully saw to it that the paper was gotten out, and was always ready to give his advice as to the make-up of the paper.

What a time he has, and under what difficulties he struggles. Still in his infancy, as far as college comic publications_ go, the Goat has faithfully maintained the reputation and standards set by his founders. John Whitaker, as editor of this year ' s Goat, is to be commended on the way he has handled his magazine. The staff of the Goat, sadly lacking in some departments, his gotten together and made a reputable showing. Overcoming great difficulties, they have put out a very commendable Goat. The Goat ' s reputation is growing by leaps and bounds, and it will not be long before he takes his place among the foremost humorous publications of the collegiate world. In the meantime we read what is offered and enjoy it. DEC Dn- O oitLJSnc DEC THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 n i nr m L - y- p«a 7sr..n ( mi i nr 3U JU 12 Stuart P.

The new men elected to membership in the chapter this year have lived up to the high scholastic standard set for them, and have set the pace for those to come. The requirements for election to the chapter have been raised, and to make the fraternity is an honor sought by every man in the university. The glimmer of the little gold key and the glory and honor that goes with it is an incentive for the students on the campus to dig in and work like the verv dickens to obtain it.

However, with the opening of school last fall it was found that some such organization was needed on the mountain. So it was decided to continue the society for those men who, because of the residence rule, were not yet eligible for Phi Beta Kappa. The standard for the Scholarship Society was maintained as it had been formerly. Elections were held and a number of members of the Junior Class initiated. The Scholarship Society will fill a much needed place at Sewanee, and will prove a stepping-stone for those who have aspirations for higher scholastic honors. 14-3 nnc 3UC ¥9 THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 n i n — ' U ll UC P I nr- e¥ Sopherim 01 Sigma Upsilon Bunting Waring Earnest Roll (Active) Wallace Griswold DUDNEY Daley Douglas Rice Whitaker Kinsolving Alumni Brown, W. M. Jones, G. M. Soph pnerim Sopherim, the mother chapter of the Sigma Upsilon Fraternity, looked more like the babe in September than the mother. Only four old men were found on the campus when school opened last fall, and one of those members was an alumnus. Those four men, however, got together and looked over the material at hand and proceeded to elect six new men to membership. Since that time other men have been electd until the chapter roll is now complete. Sopherim is an organization composed entirely of Gownsmen. Men are elected on the basis of their literary qualities and their interest in literary work. Meetings were held every two weeks, at which time two members were on the program to deliver papers. In the fall it was decided that the members would bend their efforts to the writing of short stories and some very worthy productions were forthcoming. A great deal of originality, both as to thought and style, was produced, and also in regard to theme and plot. Deviating from the general line, two papers presented during the year stand out. One of .hem, a one-act play, by T. R. Dudney, was very good. The second was a paper written in an editorial style by Vet Wood, in which he discussed topics relative to student life with great force and vigor.

A call for candidates brought a large number of applicants, especially among the freshmen. As the season progressed, several of the older men were forced to remain idle, due to other activities, so the burden of the work had to be carried on hy the new men. The season was very successful. Wins were scored over Vanderbilt, Randolph-Macon, Georgetown, and several other Southern colleges. Tulane University avenged the defeat which they suffered on the moun- tain last year by beating the Sewanee team in New Orleans. Other debates held were: Ole Miss, Kentucky, Davidson, and two extension debates with Vanderbilt. i (.6 DEC 0 53 dec ¥5 DEC THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 DEC ™%®lt aC DEC dec dW Sigma Epsilon Literary Society Officers C.

Installed this past winter in Sewanee, the Blue Keyers are very enthusiastic about their organization and claim that they are out for big things. Blue Key is an honorary organization having as its ideal the principles laid down by the Rotary Clubs, the Kiwanis Clubs and other similar organizations. The Blue Key is the baby club of Sewanee, but judging from the rate of installations it should not hold this honor very long. Just what thev are going to do, and what good they will accomplish in the life of Sewanee, remains to be seen. 152 DEC : n«£E3£knc m%z DEC ¥9 dec THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 Dn 3S3S nc nc dec e¥ Officers A.

As the time for the annual tour approached, it was generally agreed that adverse financial conditions in the South did not make such a trip advisable.

Under the direction of Mrs. G. D. Madlinger, the Purple Masque Dramatic Club has grown into a perfected Thespian organization, and has given several of the most delightful entertain- ments during the year 1 926-1 927. In November, two one-act plays were presented, A Night in an Inn, and The Florist Shop, starring Tom Dudney and Tony Griswold. These plays were received by the student body with enthusiasm, and when the Club offered a second production in March, the result was standing room only for late arrivals. This time Mary the Third, a three-act comedy, was presented, starring Vet Wood and Perry Thomas. The Club was a valuable addition to commencement festivities, entertaining the guests with the success which had typified the entire season. Members of the Club C. J.

Eustis, Jr Secretary Officers of the Junior German Club Robert Nash President Billy Schoolfielo Vice-President Ben Monaghan Secretary With a south-wide reputation to live up to, the German Clubs have this year given extraordinarily successful dances from every point of view. The Thanksgiv- ing Dances were presided over by Watson ' s Bell Hops who are almost traditional on the Mountain. At Easter Jack Linx and his nonpareil melody-makers from Birmingham served to continue the tradition of Sewanee jazzpitality. The pres- ence of girls nearly always disturbs the Mountain ' s serenity, but this year the invasion of the high places by Dixie ' s fairest femininity set a new record. More fairness and more femininity raised the standard higher than ever before.

Those who, for any reason, do not wish their names to appear in the Razz Section of the 192J Cap and Gown, please state your objections in writing and mail to the Editor, Box 1 1, Sewanee, Tenn., enclosing 50c (stamps or coin). The Following Letters Were Received Editor 1927 Cap and Gown, Sewanee, Tenn. Dear Sir: Enclosed please find fifty cents. Personally I have no objections to appearing in the humor section of your publication, and I am sure my fellow students would appre- ciate that anything you would write concerning me would be untrue, but I have several lady friends in other cities who think I am the berries up here, and not even to save fifty cents would I have them informed otherwise. Gratefully yours, L. C. Burwell. 180 Editor Cap and Gown, Sewanee, Tenn. Honored Sir: I am enclosing twenty-five cents, with the following conditions. I have no objec- tion whatsoever to my name appearing in the Roast Section of the Cap and Gown, provided that no reference is made to my asininity or my borishness. I think these two of my characteristics have been sufficiently aired for the season of 1926-27. Yours sincerely, W. Meade Brown. Editor 1927 Cap and Gown, Box 11, Sewanee, Tenn. Dear Ed: Although a new student in school, I feel that my varied activities and frequent public appearances have made me a probable target for wise cracks in your forthcoming publication, and I do not think it unwise to safeguard against any such humiliating experience by making this investment. I am enclosing fifty cents in stamps. My reasons for wishing to remain obscure are simple; only my modesty and natural re- tiring disposition influence me in writing you this missive. With best wishes, H. A. Griswold. Several letters were received which we cannot print because the confessions con- tained therein were of such confidential nature that the writers refused us permission to use the letters. %L ■— % 4v L 181 Foreword In this section of our annual the juggernaut of public de- rision rides rough-shod over the unsuspecting feet of those with whom we live and move and have our being. It is here that we give you the gift to see yourselves as others see you ; and as others remember you, at your worst. If your write- up does you injustice, just try and find the man who wrote it. This is a compilation of all the viewpoints of all the contributors, and if you are not mentioned, we suggest that you try to make yourself a little more conspicuous in the future, and wish you better luck next year. Dedication To all those of our fellow students (they know who they are) who were so helpful in lightening our task ; those who begged us out of complimen- tary copies; those who forgot to pay for their photos; those who added so much to the unique quality of our group pictures by facial contor- tions; and to anyone who finds fault with this volume ; this section of our book is dedicated in toto and no pro. 182 Pan-Hellenic has decided to drop the ancient custom of issuing bids on the stock forms, and in the future each fraternity will send out its bids on cards bearing their own advertisement. The following were drawn up at a recent meeting of Pan- Hellenic and approved by the duly authorized representatives. Alfma Tau Omega Our lodge ivas here first, all others had to take what ivas left. Students intending to take Latin, Chemistry, or Public Speaking are especially urged to join. We have officers in almost every organiza- tion on the mountain. Also Nell and Racehorse. Our house may look old, but it ' s an heirloom. Sigma Alfiha Efisilon We take only five new men each year. Only fifteen of these bids are being issued, so drop around early Sunday afternoon and be one of the chosen five. Bill Turner is an S.A.E., also Abald Poteet, ivho plays a drum. Three years ago we had several men on the football team. If you intend to enter politics, join us. 183 K.afifia Sigma Join our lodge and avail yourself of exclusive use of the University common-room on Tuesday nights. We like to pledge good singers, and would like very much to get an athlete. Our members are not allowed to drink anything stronger than grapejuice, and we keep our straw uith the faculty by a most exclusive annual entertainment. Phi Delta Theta Next year will see us in our neiv house, completed. We bought furniture with the money this year. We keep a study hall for fresh- men icho wish to spend their time in scholastics. Our social stand- ing is the best. Just look at Pearce and Britton. We control the proctors, ivho in turn control all school entertainments and sociables. Tommy is president of the Junior Class. Delta Tau Delta Besides being a nice bunch of boys, we have many men who are athletic. Helvey belongs to us. Rice was captain of his team in his freshman year. We are well chaperoned by Senor and no rough stuff is allowed in our brotherhood. We have a radio and some other furniture. Our flower is the pansy. 184 We have the best looking crowd on the mountain. We also have some men prominent on the campus. Vet and Sory are K. A. ' s. Dub can introduce you to any of the co-eds. Hank is unsurpassed at wise-cracking. You know that K. A. is supreme in the South. We intend to start using our house now that ive have some new furniture. If you received any other bids, you must join us by all means. Phi Gamma Delta We have a well-balanced group. Sleepy represents us on the campus. Williams plays basketball. Duffy is very intellectual. Ros- coe and Spencer uphold our social standing. Our house has hard- wood floors, and is equipped with a kitchen and running water. We maintain this high standard by careful discrimination. Tate is a Phi Gam. Si igma Nu Our dues are most reasonable, considering the advantages. Some day we are going to build a house. Squeek is our musician. Doctor Ware always has a smile for his fraternity mates. Our dignity is our pride. Just glance at Stansel. We make all new members feel at home, and encourage democracy among our freshmen by giving them a uniform tonsure. 185 The accompanying photo shows Hill Ever- ette Pearce, as he can be seen almost any night at 10 p.m., lustily pursuing his studies in Crime and Kindred Arts. On the table are copies of Jesse James, His Life and Deeds, and text books on the use of soup, jimmy, and drill. And here we have Doctor Jazz, better known as Noisy P.D., instructor in the department of pub- lic speaking and music, wholesale and retail dealer in Old Montizello and Dandanalli. In the photo the Doctor has assumed one of his characteristic poses, preparatory to addressing an imaginary audience. 186 Item — On January 21st, 1927, Dr. W. S. Knickerbocker dismissed his English III class at 12:28 p.m. A Cap and Gown reporter was immediately dispatched to dis- cover the cause of this unprecedented action and, upon investigation, learned that the chimes had been moved back seventeen minutes. 4, 4. 4, Keeping automobiles out of Sewanee reminds us of the recent attempt to keep liquor out of the United States. 4. 4. 4.

His coat did not match his pants. He was drinking wa- ter. His face had been scraped. He had three varieties of studs in his shirt. The shirt was making its third dance without having called on the laundry. The tie was frayed. The collar would have looked well on a horse. The pumps had been patent leather. No, he was not from the coun- try. It was not his first dance. He was the last man at Bene- dict to start dressing. 4? 4f Daddy Gander Humpty-Dumpty sat on a bench, Along came a nifty and likeable wench; All the king ' s men, marching by in parade, Couldn ' t keep Humpty from necking the maid. 4 1 4t -fr Which reminds us of the old proverb: Familiarity breeds content 188 Vet: Darling, I ' ve had something trembling on my lips for months and months Ladee: Yes, so I ' ve seen.

Pharmacist: I don ' t know, but if I looked like you, I ' d be tempted. He: How late do you think I was out last night? He: Five-thirty. He: Gee, your wife tells you every- thing!

We are out for $2,000,000, the first to improve and com- plete the present college, and the second to create an entirely new unit of the University as planned bv our Founders in 1857. This campaign is made imperative bv the necessity for mod- ernizing the present college, bv improving housing conditions and athletic equipment, bv endowing at least six chairs, and by building extra class rooms. The creation of a new unit is to meet the demands of the increasing number of applicants and to give Sewanee a position in the South in keeping with its tradi- tions and in line with modern conditions. Sewanee is not in debt, but for many long years she has ex- isted only by continued efforts of the Governing Board and loyal friends. This is a state of affairs which is intolerable. Our r 9 6 DEC Dn ESe nc DEC ¥9 THE CAP AND GOWN, 1927 DEC dec Mr3K-nc Dn l2G DEC DEC dW present endowment of $680,000 is totally inadequate. The suc- cessful prosecution of this campaign will enable Sewanee to give her sons additional benefits comparable with the highest stand- ards obtainable elsewhere, and will place her beyond further financial anxiety. Of the $2,000,000, the Alumni are asked to give one-eighth— $250,000 — to be applied to improving conditions in the college that they knew, to build a living hall, a central dining room and social center, to enlarge the gym and build a swimming pool. Two hundred fifty thousand dollars in cash is urgently needed before the end of the year. This $250,000 in cash will enable the University to claim $1(17,000 from the General Edu- cation Board. This means that for every dollar given to Sewanee in cash in 1927, the University will receive an additional forty- three cents. Campaign headquarters are at 410 Provident Building, Chat- tanooga, where fullest particulars and publicity of the campaign may be obtained. 197 DEC zraSSSSSgfcnc - ™ PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS SINCE 1868 OUR FIRM HAS BEEN SERVING THE PUBLIC IN THEIR GENERAL INSURANCE NEEDS MAY WE PLACE OUR FACILITIES AT YOUR DISPOSAL GALE, SMITH COMPANY NASHVILLE THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH What Sewanee Stands For THE EDUCATION OF THE WHOLE MAN- His BODY, in a physical environment and training almost ideal.

A strong personally interested faculty, small classes, genuine instruction, and careful direction prepare a boy for college or for the responsibilities of life. Clean, amateur athletics, wisely planned, contribute to the development of a rugged constitution. A rigid system of military training and discipline lends itself to the maturing of the finest citizenship.
