MRS. MARY EGGLESTON of Magnolia Hall ■ Magnolia Hall, the last of the old frame buildings which typified the Sewanee of a past generation, main- tains an unbroken popularity with the student body. In other days Magnolia was both a dormitory and a dining hall, always under the ministering hand of Mrs. E. Now that the stone dormitories have been com- pleted, it fulfills its purpose as the dining commons of the University. The meals, served by student waiters, and prepared under the supervision of Mrs. E, are famous wherever the name of Sewanee is known. a a no it a £7i a L I ' — For Simple Tastes and Gentle Manners- T H E A PIVOT
