Sewanee men of all times. . . . and frosted window panes and sunlight on ice-coated trees and wind and rain and snow and sleet and ice. . . . You may look at the jilaques upon the walls and know that there were great men, men who were once here, as you are now. They have passed, yet still remain ; for all times are gathered within the church; the church where you came as a freshman, the church where you were gowned, the church you will leave as a senior. You will pass over the great seal for the last time, yet remain within the oaken doors. Always the great hall will stand in the memory, and you will know and feel fellowship with those who were before you, with those who left with you, and with those who will follow. This is the bond of communion between Sewanee Men of all times; a bond born within the Church, nourished by the Church, symbo- lized in the Church: a Christian Fellow- ship.

Sind some people don ' t. -latrons represent civilization within he dormitories. That they, alone and un- .r nied, can defeat the forces of male bar- larism is indeed eloquent testimony to their bilities. The matron ' s living room offers a luiet refuge from dorm life, and usually omething to eat. She is someone who will isten to your gripes and problems, seme- me you can tell about your girl without laving to listen to a romantic ode in return. Life at Sewanee centers upon the chapel, eneath whose vaulted arches a swallow ometimes wanders without sensing that le ' s confined. The great hall gives voice hrough three organs and is lined on ■ither side with flags: one of which is tained and tattered and undeniably some nches above the others. Today we settle Hoti ' s business. And education at Sewanee is a humanized en- deavor. 17
