Sontetkinu -ALut the VICE-CHANCELLOR ' 9 A man of wondrous faith and energy would perhaps come closest to describing Dr. Ed- ward McCrady, Sewanee ' s eleventh Vice-Chancellor and president. When on October 10, 1952 he donned officially the scarlet and ermine of his office, the University of the South acquired a truly Sewanee Man. Dr. McCrady ' s relation to the Mountain dates back to his grandfather who was the first head of the Biology Department; and to the church, to his father who was an Episcopal minister. He received his A.B. from the College of Charleston, his M.S. from the University of Pittsburg and his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. His pro-eminence in the biological sciences is con- firmed by his position as head of the biology division of the Atomic Energy Commission prior to coming to Sewanee as acting Vice-Chancellor in 1951. But even more as just a personality we are prone to boast of ojr new president. His skill at music and art is indeed competent. His speeches are thoughtful and profitable. His home is warm and gracious. Dr. McCrady ' s aim is set on improvement and above all, the perpetuation of all Sewanee stands for. It has been said that big tasks require big men. Sewanee rests assured. The Doctor relaxes in his study, something he rarely has time for.
