THE VICE CHANCELLOR It is very rarel) that an educational institution can boast cil having as its leader a man who is a combination of a many intellectual interests as is Dr. Edward McCrady, Vice- Chancellor of the University of the South. The range of Dr. McCrady ' s interests range from biology, speleology, and theology to art and music. In previous years, he has received international renown in his capacity as senior research biologist at Oak Ridge. As a result of his move- ment in these varied fields with relative ease, he is a negative answer to the modern day myth of the specialized man. Dr. McCrady comes from a family closely associated with Sewanee. but he was educated at the College of Charleston. B.A., the University of Pennsylvania. Ph.D.. and the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, M.S. The son of an Episcopal min- ister, Dr. McCrady has been very successful in combining modern science with Christianity. His influence has extended far from his Mountain home as the spokesman for the Sewanee ideal. BOARD OF REGENTS The Board of Regents, which is selected by the Board of Trustees, is the executive agency of the University. It is composed of three bishops, three priests, and six laymen of the Episcopal Church, with the Chancellor and the Vice- Chancellor serving as ex-officio members. It has the power of granting honorary degrees and of the government and maintenance of the University except the duties particularly reserved to the Board of Trustees. MEMBERS RT. REV. CHARLES C. J.
