THE VICE-CHANCELLOR Sewanee is indeed fortunate to have at its head a man who is the epitome of the Sewanee gentleman. Dr. Edward McCrady is the eleventh Vice-Chancellor of the University and is the model of a well educated, well rounded man. Dr. McCrady is an expert biologist, an accomplished violinist, an artist and a woodcarver. His other talents range from architecture to speleology and theology. 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. Be- fore he took the oflfice of Vice-Chancellor in 1951. Dr. McCrady was chairmen of the University ' s biology depart- ment and a chief biologist in the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies. As Vice-Chancellor he serves as the presi- dent of the University Corporation and is the University ' s top administrative officer. President of the Order of Gownsmen, George Hart, carries the mace of the University for Dr. McCrady.

THE CHANCELLOR The Chancellor of the University of the South is elected by the Board of Trustees from the bishops of the Univer- sity ' s twenty-one owning dioceses. The present Chancellor is The Right Reverend Girault McArthur Jones, Bishop of Louisiana. Bishop Jones was elected to the Chancellorship this past summer and is presently serving his first year in this position. Although not a graduate of the University, Bishop Jones has had many ties with Sewanee for a num- ber of years before becoming Chancellor. He holds a B.A. from the University of Mississippi and served as Bishop of Louisiana since 1949. As in the English tradition, the Chancellor of the Uni- versity is burdened with few administrative responsibilities. He serves as the titular head of the University, as Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees, and as an ex-officio mem- ber of the Board of Regents. RT. REV. GIRAULT .M. JONES

BOARD OF REGENTS The Board of Regents is elected by the Board of Trustees and is the executive board of the University. It is composed of three bishops, three priests, and six laymen of the Episcopal Church, with the Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor serving as ex-officio members. This board performs all duties dealing with the govern- ment and the maintainence of the University, except those which are particularly reserved by the Board of Trustees. This Board holds three meetings a year at Sewanee, one at the beginning of first semester, at the beginning of second semester, and the final one dur- ing graduation. It was under the supervision of the Board that the Ten Million Dollar Campaign was coordinated. At each regular meeting the Board maintains the policy of conferring with the leaders of the student body. In this way the voice of the Sewanee man has an effect on the governing policies of the University as a whole. i8
