BDARD OF REGENTS Bishop Juhan views construction on the new gym named in his honor The Board of Regents launched the million-dol- lar construction program at Sewanee this year, but this was only one of Its many actions. The Board acts as the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, by which it is elected. The Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor serve in ex-offi- cio capacity as members of the fourteen-man board which is completed with three Bishops, three Presbyters, and six laymen. The scope of the power of the Board extends from the con- ferring of honorary degrees to the general super- vision of the University. Sewanee honors with membership on the Board only those who have served her well. 18

■■ ..y I I ' T ; ' i?. ' ' T f-fctf A Chancellor Mitchell lays the cornerstone for the new dormitory, Cleveland Hall THE VICE-CHAMCELLDR DR. EDWARD McCRADY Few liberal arts Institutions are fortunate enough to have as president a man who represents the scope of intellectual interest which it is their purpose to stimulate in their stu- dents. Sewanee is so favored in the person of Dr. Edward McCrady, Vice-Chancellor of the University of the South. The range of Dr. McCrady ' s mind extends from biology and speleology to music, art, and theology. Like a Renais- sance man he moves with equal ease in these varied fields, and the result is an emphatically negative answer to the modern myth of the specialized man. Dr. McCrady comes from a family closely associated with Sewanee, but he was educated at the College of Charleston, B.A., the Univer- sity of Pittsburgh, M.S., and the University of Pennsylva- nia, Ph.D. The son of an Episcopal minister. Dr. McCrady has been most successful in combining modern science with traditional Christianity, hlis influence has extended far from his Mountain home as the spokesman of the Sewanee ideal throughout the country, hie has been the ideal that has given his own words meaning. Make our labor and our way of life Deserve this favored land 17
