I-: I C; Is 3 Another year of Sewanee has come and gone. The past year may in fact be called a typical year, but only to those who are leaving does it appear differ- ently. In our opinion it takes a senior to give a true picture of the Mountain because to one who is leav- ing, the blessings of her moments of study, faith, brotherhood, competition, activities, interests, and di- versions are paramount. The Cap and Gown has tried to capture these feelings between its covers. We have made an honest attempt to portray what we believe to be Sewanee. The following pages contain many pic- tures of many scenes which will no doubt mean dif- ferent things to different people. Some pictures will make some wonder what they are doing in an opening section. Some will bring back moods and memories worth cherishing. It is our hope that most will fall in the latter category, for upon this book ' s ability to do so lies its worth to you as a student who has spent possibly the four greatest years of life on this campus. It is almost impossible to write an introduction without repeating the words written in previous books because Sewanee is Sewanee and it will always be basically the way it is today. We would have it no other way, to be sure. Therefore, let us say that the past year has been a life of study, of cramming be- INTRODUCTION fore quizzes. ' of owl flicks, of Abbo classes (Hub! Could that be left unsaid? ), of wonderful party week- ends, of trips to Tubby ' s, of fog, and of innumerable other memories. Surprisingly enough, there was very little snow and no fires (Knock on wood! Press time comes early ) , the lack of both being very pleasing to the Mountain. Some have found themselves here. Most all have acquired a feeling of belonging here and it is for those that this book is designed. Your first im- pression of it will be one thing; in the years to come, it will probably change. It is our purpose, we feel, to consider your future impression and to present a book which will be meaningful both now and in the years to come when we all open its cover to remember. An attempt to capture all of the memorable events of one year at Sewanee would not only be very diffi- cult but nigh near impossible. However, as you turn the following pages, we hope what is not pictured will nevertheless come back to you thus, adding to what we have put together. May this 1961 Cap and Gown be a work to serve to your enjoyment in re- membrance of Sewanee and things past. May it help bring you back when you are far away and in so do- ing, never let you get far enough to forget what this University and Mountain have meant to you.

DEDICATION .IOI1 X llli:i, HALL HOIH.i S Sewanee is a long history of great men devoted to her success and ad- vancement. There have been several who have given their careers as well as their talents to the work of this University, carrying out one of the dreams of the founders to engender in the hearts of its sons a love that would make service to Sewanee and its ideals a life-long devotion. Such a man is John Irel Hall Hodges and it is with a great deal of pleasure that we dedicate this 1961 Cap and Gown to him as one long deserving recog- nition. Mr. Hodges came to Sewanee as Assistant Librarian August 1. 1933. In 1935 he became Associate Librarian and in 1939 Librarian. At the time he became Librarian there were only 45.000 volumes in the library, 20,000 of which were nut even catalogued. With much devoted service and hard work, Mr. Hodges has seen the library grow from a small unorganized room full of books to a well ordered library of 100.000 volumes. More than anyone else, Mr. Hodges is anxious to see a new library of greater size and equipment built in the near future. We hope that his vision will be realized and that he will see many more years of faithful and rewarding service to Sewanee. To him we owe our thanks and are happy to take this opportunity to pay him tribute.
