James Harrington Arthur Butler Dugan: B.A., Princeton (1932); A.M., Princeton (1933); Bachelor of Letters, Oxford University (1935); Diploma in Economics and Political Science, Oxford University (1936). DEDICATION The dominant trait of this mind, writes W. J. Cash in The Mind of the South, was an intense individualism — in its way perhaps the most intense individualism the world has ever seen since the Italian Renaissance. About twenty-five years ago a young scholar came to The University of the South, bringing with him a record of academic achievement marked by excellence. He had studied English at Princeton University and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, at Oxford University. It was his third year at Oxford which was to mark for Sewanee a significant transition. After having developed a knowledge of the choicest literature in the world, he pursued at Oxford the study of another facet of man ' s expression: power. With this background, he was asked in 1940 to join the Sewanee faculty. He did. We know him primarily as a teacher and scholar whose lectures reflect a seriousness of study and whose sense of humor makes us appreciate both man ' s grandeur and man ' s foibles. Likewise though, he plays the organ, is a bank director, enjoys spotting new cars on the Mountain, is a railroad bug, formerly played tennis, and likes to take walks with his wife, Tempe. The 1964 Cap and Gown dedicates its pages to Arthur Butler Dugan.

A monument of careful planning . . . The eleventh Vice-Chancellor As the sun rises on another day, the eye is turned toward the fu- ture and the new ascendancy to which Sewanee climbs. The thoughts of are centered in the building of today. For the first time in the history of the University, the dream of the founders seems conceivable in contrast to the imagined speculation of the past. Though the culture of the Christian gentleman, as an ideal, is never perfectly realized, the hope for a physical plant with the most recent and effective educational facilities is progressing in the direction of substantial fulfillment. The great university of tomorrow is no longer a distant myth, for the foundation of the dream is recognizably laid in the labors of today. Ten million dollars and a new library and. suddenly, a new college — more money and more building. From the drawing board to the artisan and emerging finally as a monument of careful planning and intricate workmanship, the Sewanee scene is one of rapid transition. It is certain that tomorrow will bring with it new customs and manners. The pace of progress involves the laying aside of outmoded usage. Yet one can be sure that Sewanee still will maintain the touch of her essential greatness, immutable through fading years. Indeed, change is meaningless without a changeless standard whereby to measure growth. The Sewanee of tomorrow will be different, but only in a respect which will continue to demand the shameless pride of all those who have known her in times gone by. For the last decade the master builder of Sewanee ' s future as well as the custodian of her ordered transition has been her Vice-Chancellor. A man of insight, precision, action, he has devoted the vast store of his varied talents to the stable formation of today ' s College and the planned construction of tomorrow ' s University. Dr. McCrady serves as the exemplar of many who work and give daily for the strength of Sewanee ' s future. The secret of Sewanee ' s greatness lies in the continuity which she preserves. Guided in the roots of the past, sustained in the growing pains of present transition, she looks to a future brightened by a sense of direction and purpose. Tomorrow is built through a succession of constructive todays linked by a common bond to the noble vision of a living tradition. The thought of tomorrow is one of seasoned anticipation. ll
