GRAND LADY SCHOLAR FRIEND OF SEWANEE A true daughter of Sewanee is Mrs. Sarah Hodgson Torian — one of Sewanee ' s real unsung heroes . Her many years of close personal relationship with the University have endeared her to the Sewanee community, and she has become a vital integral part of its life. As the daughter of Sewanee ' s third Vice-Chancellor, the Rev. Telfair Hodgson, Miss Sarah spent her childhood at Sewanee and made her debut here in 1898. In 1907, she married Dr. Oscar Noel Torian and lived in Indianapolis, Indiana where she became an outstanding citizen and president of several women ' s groups. By 1941, the Torians had returned to Sewanee to take up residence in the summer home they built several years previously. Since 1943, Miss Sarah has been University Archivist after her election by the Board of Regems on the nomination of the late Dr. Alexander Guerry. Miss Sarah has brought together a collection of historical material in many ways unique in the Episcopal Church and among edu- cational institutions. Her collection consists of relics from the histories of Sewan.ee, the Southern Episcopal Church, and of the South in general. The archives collection of Episcopal Church his- tory is one of the most valuable historical collections in existence. Miss Sarah has known personally almost all of the spiritual characters in Sewanee history and she has long been intimately associated with the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity since her two brothers, her husband, and her two sons were all members of Tennessee Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta. We, then, take great pleasure in dedicating this, the Nineteen-Fifty Seven CAP AND GOWN to Mrs. Sarah Torian for her uninhibited eaergy, resourcefulness, determination, and, above all, for her abiding love of Sewanee. Ever proud of her collection. Miss Sarah shows one of her relics to sheriff Silas McBee. General Williams and Bishop Juhan are quite interested in the microfilms of Bishop Quintard ' s diary which Mrs Torian is showing them.
