DR. EDWARD McCRADY Vice-Chancellor of the University of the South THE VICE-CHANCELLOR 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 stimu- late in their students. Sewanee is so favored in the person of Dr. Edward McCrad , Vice-Chancellor of the University of the South. The range of Dr. Mc- Crady ' s activities extends from biologv and speleology to music, art, and theology. In previous years he has received international renown in his capacity as senior research biologist at Oak Ridge. Like a Renaissance 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. Mc- Crady comes from a family closely associated with Sewanee, but he was educated at the College of Charleston, B.A., the University of Pittsburgh, M.S., and the University of Pennsylvania, Ph.D. The son of an Episcopal minister, Dr. McCrady has been most successful in combining modern science with tradi- tional Christianity. His influence has extended far from his Mountain home as the spokesman of the Se- wanee ideal throughout the country.
