The members of the board are elected by the trustees, although three of the laymen are nominated by the Associated Alumni. The body is composed of three bishops, three presbyters, and ten laymen. It may deal with any matter of business concerning the L T niversity, but its du- ties are chiefly financial. The meetings are held three times a year with the Chancellor presiding. 24 a a n o w n

CHANCELLOR The Rt. Rev. Theodore Dubose Bratton Chancellor of the University Bishop of Mississippi The Chancellor of the University of the South, the Right Reverend Theodore Dubose Bratton, Bishop of Mississippi, is the ninth man to hold that position. He was called to the chancellorship in the fall of 1935 upon the death of Bishop Gailor by virtue of the fact that he was the Senior Bishop. As a man closely associated with Sewanee throughout his entire life, Bishop Bratton is indeed a fine person to hold the supreme authority of the University. His con- nections with Sewanee began in his early youth when he attended the Sewanee Grammar School. From there he entered the Academic Department and then went on into the Theological School. Besides these facts his family ties have been for many years with Sewanee and the University of the South. Bishop Bratton is an outstanding man in many respects. His experiences have been widespread and his intellectual achievements have been great. As a splendid gen- tleman, a scholar, and our new Chancellor, the student body salutes you, sir. 25 a a n o w n
