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.
