SEWANEE LIFE This is the story of Sewanee in the college years of 1952-53. It is a unique story because so is Sewanee. Located 2,000 feet up on the Cumberland Mountain Range about fifty miles northwest of Chattanooga, the school is more like a resort isolated from the conflicts of the world. In addition Sewanee values a tradi tion of heritage: from Oxford we get our architec- ture and our gowns; from the Episcopal Church, our owner, we get our support and guidance; from the South, we get our credo of courtesy and manners. But still, from youthfulness, we get our spirit, our vigor, our acquisitiveness, our life. Sewanee is where the professors know the boys as well as the boyj know the professors. It is where the matron has open house and Christmas parties. It is where the many caves and hollows invite exploration, and where a date is really a date. So is the theme of our book of the year of 1953 devoted — to the life that goes into making Sewanee, the Men, the Diversions, the Teams, the Brotherhood — it is all part of the Mountain which is Sewanee.

Gailor Hall, newest ad- dition to the campus dormitories, combines with a dining hall. Here the photographer has captured a night view of the impressive arch light at the front entrance. COLLEGE LIFE AT SEWANEE Sewanee Life ... it is something far away, something isolated from the cities but not the world ... it is where learning is living, and living is learning. It begins in the fall . . . autumn, long and full and fresh — high up in the clouds nested in green and brown and red and yellow. The air is clear and sweet . . . the leaves are brighter . . . the atmosphere is lighter. No noise, no traf- fic, no hustling, no hurry — just living. And thus is how Sewanee greets its family — some old, some new but they all settle quickly as Sewa- nee life becomes college life and they both be- come synonymous . . . throned high in sunlit air . . . robed in rich glory . . . cliff crested . . . tower crowned ... far famed in story . . . where the tree tops kiss the clouds at Sewanee. 16
