EWANEE I don ' t suppose there is a man up here who hasn ' t, at one time or another, hated this place, hated it for its fog and rain, for its days of unrelieved dull- ness, for the utter loneliness of its rooms at night with the wind outside. And yet. I don ' t suppose there is a man up here who hasn T t also felt, at one time or another, a fierce pride at being here, a pride born out of his sense that he has passed some sort of intellectual and spiritual test, that he has withstood and triumphed over the fog and rain and intellectual strain. This is what Sewanee gives us. above all else, the bitter and iron taste of life. It is a gift, a gift in some ways more precious than gold coin.
