THIS IS SEWANEE How many times have you looked at Breslin ' s clock or heard its chimes? How often have you brought curse upon curse on the Walsh-Ellett turrets? Have you ever seen Shap- ard Tower glow in a sunset? These few scenes of our cam- pus bring back countless memories — some warm, some hu- morous, some serene. These two pages contain a great deal of the real feeling most of us have for Sewanee. however small they may seem, for the largest part of our life on the Mountain is spent in these surroundings. Undoubtedly, most of us will remember the buildings surrounding the quad- rangle before any others. We sincerely hope that the follow- ing pages will help you to recapture the thoughts you will want to recall when you find time to reminisce.

J. VIEW OF THE MOUNTAIN EIFE Hpv If one looks at Sewanee superficially, he will see students going to Science Hall, or to check mail, or walking across the campus, hut if he peers deeper, he will find more. He will see a living ideal: a belief that both intelligence and morality are necessary because the mind without con trol and motivation of spiritual ideals is a negative or destruc- tive agencv. and because spiritual idealism without intelli- gence is weak and futile. He will encounter a sense of pur- pose which the University Senate clearly expressed in these words: ' We are definitely committed at Sewanee to the Col- lege of Liberal Arts as a distinct unit in the educational system of our country, with a contribution to make that can be made by no other agency. In an age when the demand for the immediately practical is so insistent, when the in- tegrity of the College of Liberal Arts is imperiled by the demands of vocational training, we adhere to the basic function of the College of Liberal Arts: the training of youth in Christian virtue, in personal initiative, in self-mastery, in social consciousness, in aesthetic appreciation, in intellec- tual integrity, and in scientific methods of inquiry.
