BOARD OF REGENTS The Board of Regents, which is elected by the Board of Trustees, is the executive board of the University. It is composed of three bishops, three priests, and six lay- men of the Episcopal Church, with the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor serving as ex-officio members. This board performs all duties pertaining to the government and maintenance of the University, except those particularly reserved by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Regents holds reg- ular meetings at Sewanee three times a year. It is through the supervision of the Board that such programs as the Ten Mil- lion Dollar Campaign are coordinated. Al- though these men are also much con- cerned with their vocations, one would think not because of the time and energy that they spend with the affairs of the University of the South. In governing the University, they always strive to discuss questions with responsible members of the student body. Left to right: Bishop John M. Allin, Dr. Harold C. Gosnell, Bishop Hamilton West, Mr. William A. Kirkland, Bishop Charles C. J. Carpenter, Dr. Edward McCrady, Mr. G. Allen Kimball, Dr. Robert S. Lancaster, The Rev. Mr. E. Dudley Calhoun, Jr., Mr. R. Eugene Orr, The Rev. Mr. William W. Lumpkin, and Mr. Edwin I. Hatch. M

1 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 Chris- tian 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 speleol- ogy. The institution of the liberal arts col- lege has no more articulate leader. 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 Pennsylvania. He was chairman of Sewanee ' s biology depart- ment and chief biologist at the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies before as- suming his present position in 1951. As Vice-Chancellor he serves as president of the University Corporation and is the Uni- versity ' s top administrative officer.
