DEDICATIDIV DR. R. W. P. ELLIOT One of the dreams of the three founders of the University of the South was to create an institu- tion which would engender in the hearts of its sons a love that would make service to Sewanee and its ideals a life-long devotion. This desire has Its perfect embodiment in Dr. R. W. P. Elliot, grandson of one of the founders. After having been graduated from the University in 1894, Dr. Elliot pursued a distinguished legal career as a member of the firm of hiarrison, Elliot, and Byrd In New York. He received an LL.B. degree from Columbia University and has received the de- grees of A.B., M.A., and D.C.L. from the Univer- sity of the South. In 1939 he and his wife, Marian Bradford Elliot, returned to Sewanee and Dr. Elliot since that time has given all legal services to the University repeatedly defending its rights in com- plicated litigation Involving domain and endow- ment. Dr. Elliot, the son and grandson of bishops has always given unremittingly of his time and money to the works of the Episcopal Church In New York and at Sewanee. But as Indebted as Sewanee is to him for his actual most valuable legal coun- sel It Is to the example of his life to which tribute must be paid. Proceeding from a great tradition, Dr. R. W. P. Elliot has made that tradition vital in his life of Christian duty. - e is a son of Sewanee In the most comprehensive sense and his devotion to Its ideals have made them a reality for all to behold. The class of 1956 Is most proud to dedi- cate their annual to such a man.

THE CHAIVCELLDR THE RT. REV. R. BLAND MITCHELL Sewanee has always been to me a vision and ideal clothed in Christian perform- ance. These words of the Rt. Rev. R. Bland Mitchell admirably illustrate his concept of the purpose of Sewanee; a concept which has been given concrete meaning by his six years of service as chancellor of the University of the South, hlis vision of Sewanee has developed during an intimate association which has extended from his graduation from the Sewanee Grammar School in 1904 through his B.A. received from the College of Arts and Sciences in 1908, a Graduate of Divinity degree in 1912, Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1921, and in recognition of his service the honorary degree of Doctor of Di- vinity in 1931. Although his ordination in 1912 removed him from direct contact with Sewanee as he served the Church in missionary fields and in the National Council, Bishop Mitchell returned to the Mountain in 1928 to serve for a year as director of the Expansion Fund Campaign of his alma mater, hie left Sewanee again to serve in parish work until his consecration as Bishop of Arkansas in 1938. As bishop of an owning diocese, he was able to implement his desires for Sewanee, and his election as Chancellor in 1950 was a tribute to his continued devotion to an Ideal of Sewanee clothed in Christian performance. 16
