X t Atop tke Wt ip oun f Sewanee life — it sounds of the ringing of chapel bells for noon service and the strains of S.M.A. ' s Onward Christian Soldiers . Its paths and halls and lodges carry echoes of laughter, of songs, of learning. The sparkle of a girl ' s voice on the much-anticipated dance week-end . . . the picnics on the Mountain ' s edge . . . the crackle of pine limbs in the fire . . . the sputter of roasting marshmallows . . . a frenzied tying of a black bow and hur- ried adjusting of hoops and then . . . the melody of the orchestra under the starry- decorated sky of Ormond-Simkins Gym. Activities — so many . . . frat pledges in wildest costume engaged in strange pur- suits . . . Greek shindigs . . . parisian:,. pajama, shipwreck, Bitter Rice, any- thing for a party. Science Hall, one of Sewanee ' s most complete buildings, was a gift to the University by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. It houses the Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Forestry Departments. This jam is one of the commonest occurences seen in the Student Union between classes as those who sacked past breakfast grab a cup of that life-liquid — coffee.
