Gen. Williams, Bishop Juhan, and Dr. McCrady look over some plans for Sewanee ' s future. f n r n A i n 1 1 1 Fi All of my life I have been deeply impressed by the extraordinary beauty of this mountain and the invigorating and enriching academic and spiritual tradition of this institution. Though, as you all know, it is not a place into which the cares of the world do not intrude (indeed, there is no such place), it is a place in which those who understand and respond can find the strength and competence and grace to meet whatever comes. I hope all of you who have become a part of Se- wanee have felt and responded to this influence which I have tried inadequately to express in the following poor verses. Hail Sewanee, beauteous mountain, Sculptured Mesozoic plain Carved by rivulet and fountain. Clad in forests drenched with rain. Thou, so blessed with wondrous beauty. Give us taste to understand; Make our labors and our way of life Deserve this favored land. Teach us discipline and freedom; Give us godliness and strength; Let thy crags and falling waters Nurture us until, at length, When from cliffs we view night ' s splendor We are moved to search our hearts For the words with which to render praise For what God ' s grace imparts. EDWARD McCRADY, Vice-Chancellor DR. EDWARD McCRADY Vice-Chancellor of the University
