The memory of Sewanee today might well involve an external picture of the Mountain scene: the winter blue sky fading to the sunset valley below, the towered splendour of her buildings, the green valley strewn with daffodils of spring. The image of Sewanee easily conforms to the attraction of her visible charm. What is a university but the lengthened shadow of her men? Though the appear- ance of an institution indicates the quality and strength of her intent, the people who build and sustain her vision form the greater part of the memory of her gift. Sewanee abounds in the cultivation of personal relationships providing an integrated educational experience for Jl T and lasting friendships fur tomorrow. TODAY The classroom combines the desire of willing student with the direction of concerned teacher. Sewanee is distinct in the organic framework that she maintains in which instructor and pupil are endowed with the full fruition of the educational process. Today is discriminated from tomorrow and yesterday by the intimate response of the teachers and fellow students sharing in these times. Beyond the classroom is the chaplain and his chapel. Sewanee today presents a controversial stage in the assessment of the spiritual force which is her stability. Within this realm of academic dissention the university, nevertheless, continues to proclaim and support the ideals of enlightened Chris tian understanding instituted by the founders. Sewanee is still today a Christian university resting her cause on the permanence of ageless truths while humbly tolerating dissent amidst a freethinking environment. The classroom and the chapel are surrounded by a community integrally related to the life and work of the university. Miss Clara is a fitting representative of the close, enduring ties which exist between the student and his social setting. Much of the fond memory of the graduate is centered around the pleasant pastime of village joys. The people who live in Sewanee, students, teachers, commons, distinguish her today. While the vision and its foundation never change, the people who sustain the vision fade. The people who preserve Sewanee today will vanish tomorrow. The memory of this day is the memory of those who saw and made it. Miss Clara
