THE VICE-CHANCELLOR The Vice-Chancellor is the executive presi- dent of the University. His job is perhaps the most varied and difficult of all the University ' s administrative positions and includes everything from installing new Gownsmen to extensive travelling to speak in cities all over the country. Dr. McCrady fulfills these very demanding obli- gations to the utmost and is the perfect repre- sentative of the Sewanee gentleman, scholar, and thinker. DR.

THE RIGHT REVEREND THOMAS NEELY CARRUTHERS Fourteenth Chancellor of the University of the South THE CHANCELLOR Sewanee is happy to welcome as its fourteenth Chancellor, the Right Reverend Thomas Neely Car- ruthers, the Bishop of South Carolina. Indeed, Bishop Carruthers is a familar figure at Sewanee having re- ceived his B.A. degree from the University in 1921, and his B.D. from St. Lukes in 1929. He has also taught in the English department of the College and has been a member of the Board of Regents for several terms. In 1940, Sewanee bestowed upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. After his ordination in 1926, Bishop Carruthers served as rector of St. Peters Church, Columbia, Ten- nessee; Trinity Church, Houston, Texas, and Christ Church, Nashville, Tennessee, until he was conse- crated Bishop on May 4, 1944. Bishop Carruthers is also president of the Episcopal Church ' s Fourth Prov- ince which includes fifteen dioceses in nine Southern states. The Chancellor acts as president of the Board of Trustees, ex-officio member of the Board of Regents and must be a Bishop of one of the University ' s twenty-two owning dioceses. Bishop Carruthers is now beginning his six year term as Chancellor and we wish him all due success. Bishop Carruther s installed as Chancellor by Bishop Mitchell, the re- tiring Chancellor at Commencement oi last year.
