University of the South - Cap and Gown Yearbook (Sewanee, TN)

Page 19 text:

A yearbook has a rather nebulous journalistic function. It is not supposed to editorialize or be exclusively literary or humorous. At Sewanee the Purple and the Goat fill these capacities. In its broadest sense a yearbook is history, a history to be approached with the idea of providing a full account of a single year. Whether or not this is possible in a mere two hundred pages is a question you will have to decide not now, but when this book has become old. In writing and picturing the history of nineteen sixty-five, we have tried to make this Cap and Gown a definition of Sewanee specifically in terms of this year. There is an overwhelming possibility that what is printed in this book is incomplete, for there are as many Sewanees as there are members of this academic community. Yet, it is our purpose and hope that in this 1965 Cap and Gown there will be enough of that which we call Sewanee or The Mountain so that each of you will be able to discover at least a part of your definition. If you can do this now and then do it again in thirty years, if this book can recall to you the Sewanee of 1965, we will have succeeded. —EDITOR-IN-CHIEF CONTENTS Cap and Gown 1965 Dedication 16-17 The University 18-77 Administration 22-26 Faculty 27-29 Classes 31-77 Fraternities 78-107 Organizations 108-139 Athletics 140-171 Intramurals 165-171 Features 172-183 5

Dedication That a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country well characterizes the sentiment behind the choice of Arthur Ben Chitty to receive the dedication of the 1965 Cap and Gown. Academician, he has published more than most of the teaching faculty. Churchman, he partici- pates in the work of the Episcopal Church on the local, diocesan, and national levels. Civic leader, he was ten years the liaison of the civic association with the Negro community. Journalist, he publishes the Sewanee News, serves as chairman of the Publications Board and as a director of the Living Church. Publicist and alumni director, he is one of the senior practition- ers of his craft in the South. Businessman, he is chairman of the board of directors of a wholesale grocery company. Activist, and, to some gadfly, to some saint, he is the willing patron of a good idea. A committed man, in a time of inde- cision, he believes wholly in the im- portance and relevance of Sewanee in Twentieth Century America. His involve- ment with Sewanee, from her auspicious origins as a someday Oxford of America, her arduous re-birth in discouraging times, to her recognition by the Ford Grant, and her future as a fulfillment of the founders ' dreams seems sometimes overshadowed by his concern for the at- tendant minutiae (he is self-appointed campus trash collector, sponsor of more fraternities for the Mountain, and re- actionary devotS of the coat and tie), though in fact all are representative of a long-term commitment to a towered city, set within a wood, and a host of men who hail from Arcady. It is then, with pride, appreciation, and respect, that the 1965 Cap and Gown is dedicated to Arthur Ben Chitty.
