The Chancellor The Chancellor of the University of the South is elected by the Board of Trustees from the bishops of Sewanee ' s twenty-one owning dioceses. The present Chancellor is the Right Reverend Charles Golcock Jones Carpenter, Bishop of Ala- bama, who has held the post since 1960. Although not a graduate of the University, Bishop Carpenter has long-standing ties with Sewanee and was a trustee for many years before he became Chancellor. He holds a B.A. from Princeton and a B.D. from Virginia Theological Seminary. Princet on, Virginia, Sewanee, and the University of Alabama have awarded him honorary degrees. Following in the English tradition, Sewanee ' s Chancellor is burdened with few administrative responsibilities. He serves as president of the Board of Trustees, ex-officio member of the Board of Regents, and confers honorary degrees at Commencement ceremonies. ?.%

The Vice-Chancellor Sewanee is fortunate to have as its chief executive a man who embodies the ideals of the University. Dr. Edward McCrady, eleventh Vice-Chancellor of the University of the South, indeed personifies the Christian gentleman and scholar which Sewanee seeks to produce. A biologist by profession, Dr. McCrady is an accomplished musician, artist, and woodcarver. His other interests include architecture, theology, and speleology. The institution of the liberal arts college has no more articulate apologist. Dr. McCrady received his B.A. from the College of Charleston, his M.S. from the University of Pittsburgh, and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsyl- vania. He was chairman of Sewanee ' s biology department and chief biologist at the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies before assuming his present posi- tion in 1951. As Vice-Chancellor he serves as president of the University Corporation and is the University ' s top administrative officer.
