3n m cmoriam THE RIGHT REVEREND THOMAS NEELY CARRUTHERS June 10, 1900-June 12, I960 THE CHANCELLOR The Right Reverend Thomas Neely Carruthers was in the fourth year of his six year term as Chancellor of the Uni- versity of the South. Bishop Carruthers, Bishop of South Carolina, was a familiar figure at Sewanee. He received his B.A. degree from the University in 1921 and his B.D. from St. Luke ' s in 1929. He taught in the English department of the College and had been a member of the Board of Regents for several terms. In 1940, he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, bestowed upon him by the University. Since his ordination in 1926, Bishop Carruthers had served as rector of St. Peter ' s Church, Columbia, Tennessee; Trinity Church, Houston, Texas; and Christ Church, Nashville; until he was consecrated Bishop of South Carolina on May 4. I 944. Bishop Carruthers was the former president of the Epis- copal Church ' s Fourth Province, which includes fifteen dio- ceses in nine southern states. The Chancellor acts as president of the Board of Trustees, ex-officio member of the Board of Regents and is a bishop of one of the University ' s twenty-one owning dioceses. 13

D EDICATION It is with a great deal of pleasure that the I960 CAP AND GOWN is dedicated to Dr. John Webb, Dean of Men of the University, and Professor of History. The duties of Dean Webb are numerous and widely varied, as we all know. Besides his teaching schedule, he is responsible for the discipline of the student body, which no doubt consumes much of his time. Dr. Webb deserves unlimited praise for his firm and just handling of disciplinary problems throughout the past three years. No one envies his job, but the University could not ask for greater competency. The fact that Dean Webb maintains a friendly and avid interest in all the activities of the moun- tain and her individuals makes the dedication of the annual to him particularly appropriate. Few members of the faculty or administration play a more whole-hearted part in the work, sport, and relaxation of Sewanee. From his desk, lectern, the athletic stand, the Union, even from right field of the intramurai pasture, he views, participates in, and contributes to, the life of our school. The entire mountain welcomes this opportunity to salute, ac- knowledge, and thank Dean Webb.

VICE-CHANCELLOR Too seldom it is that an institution finds itself in the hands of a leader possessing the rare combination of assets and talents of Sewanee ' s Dr. Edward McCrady. The enormous range of Dr. McCrady ' s interests and activities complement his position as Vice-Chancellor of this great liberal arts uni- versity. Dr. McCrady is respected in such diversified fields as biology, speleology, theology, music, and art. In previous years he received international renown in his capacity as senior research biologist at Oak Ridge. His career strikingly refutes the current notion of America ' s 20th century special- ized man. Dr. McCrady comes from a family closely asso- ciated 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 comb ' ning modern science with Christianity. His influence as Vice- Chancellor of the University of the South has been felt and acknowledged far from the Mountain. THE BOARD O F REGENTS The Board of Regents, which is selected by the Board of Trustees, is the executive agency of the Board of Trustees. It is composed of three Bishops, three Priests, and six lay- men of the Episcopal Church, with the Chancellor and Vice- Chancellor serving as ex-officio members. It has the power of granting honorary degrees and of government and mainte- nance of the University except the duties particularly re- served to the Board of Trustees. MEMBERS Rt. Rev. Theodore N.
