THE REV. FLEMING JAMES B.A., M.A., Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania Dean of the School of Theology and Professor of Old Testament Language and Intarpretation. A deep spirituality, a forceful personality, a profound and impeccable scholarship, and a sympathetic understanding of their problems — these are only a few of the rare qualities v hich have so lastingly endeared Dean Fleming James to the students of Sewanee ' s theological seminary. Only two years in the Dean ' s chair, Dr. James has already shown promise of making the theological seminary on this campus one of the best in the country. Last fall the school enjoyed a record enrollment of thirty-nine students, and it is generally recognized that the academic standard under Dean James ' s leadership is much higher than ever before. As the son of a theological professor, the Dean ' s training for his life ' s work began in his infancy. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1896 and his M.A. the following year. In 1899 Dr. James received the Ph.D. degree from the same institution at an unbelievably early age. After his graduation from theological seminary Dr. James spent four years in the China mission field and six years in diocesan missionary work. He spent the next nine years as rector of one of the finest parishes in northern New Jersey, and served for nineteen years as Professor of Old Testa- ment In the Berkeley Divinity School before coming to Sewanee. Dr. James ' s brilliant record of service to the Church includes membership on several social service committees, the chairman- ship of the diocesan Forward Movement Commission, member- ship on the Board of Examining Chaplains, and participation in many other social and economic activltes. A widely- known and respected Old Testament scholar, Dr. James has had two books published by the publishing house of Charles Scribner ' s Sons.
