A university, before it was called a plant or a system, was known to its members as a companj ( 1 schol ars. This happy definition emphasized the common interests of professor and student alike, mak- ing every member of the company a learner, a seeker after knowledge. Such an academic Utopia would be Dr. Bruton ' s natural habitat. The achievements he most admires are those of the intellect; and his heroes, like Newton, forever voyage through strange seas of thought. Whether Dr. Bruton would have been happier with the great scholars of the Renaissance we cannot say, but certainly Sewanee has been happy with him. Since 1925. the year he came to this Mountain, Sewanee has commanded his loyalty and his services. His main ob- jective has been the well-being of the University and ol the Sewanee community, both of which he has served in many ways. He is Head of the Department of Mathematics, and Dean of Administration of the University. In the latter capacity he has been a veri- table pillar of strength. Outside of the University it- self, he has served as Chairman of the Franklin County Hoard ol Education, and as President of the Sewanee Civic Association. His hobbies are tennis. bridge, and good conversation — in each of which he excels, as many a fallen foe can attest! For what he has meant to Sewanee we dedicate this 1959 Cap and Gown to DR. GASTON S. BRUTON. Dedication
