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
