: ' DR. ALEXANNE R G U E R R Y VICE-CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY The times are ever in want of a leader. Two years ago Dr. Guerry came to a Sewanee that was proud of its long and noble heritage, but a Sewanee that faced bankruptcy. The immediate concern of the new Vice-Chancellor was to remove forever the specter of want from the University. This first objective has been practically completed, even in so short a time. But his policy is more far reaching than this; a beautiful, vital institution that is the expression of the highest that is in the community and that produces men that return to the community possessed by a vision of greater life and the determination to practice it.

As liaison officer of the College he has admin- istered faculty decrees and heard student complaints with rare tact and good sense. In class good humor and sound scholarship make French and German fascinating studies. DR. RAYARD H. JONES DEAN OF THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY Under the leadership of Dean Jones the Theological School has increased the number of its students and made several other changes. Besides his duties as dean, Dr. Jones is professor of Church History. He holds degrees from the University of California, Harvard, General Theological Seminary, and Oxford. [18]
