— Dedication An article by a former student once described how to find Dr. Harry Yeatman ' s classroom. It ' s the one with the frequent laugh- ter. For 31 years, Dr. Yeatman has regaled the university commu- nity with his salty, ever-present wit. Combine this good humor with an irrespressible zest for life and people, add an encyclopedic knowledge of things biological and you have a professor who has become a Sewanee institution. Dr. Yeatman caps his long and distinguished academic career this year as this university ' s first recipient of the prestigious Keenan fellowship award. Dr. Yeatman ' s former students remember him well, and are fondly recalled in turn as present classes are treated to stories of their escapades in and out of lab. Many still keep in touch; for Dr. Yeatman is the sort of professor one reads about in the Sewanee brochure. Taking a keen and pernnial interest in his students, he is never to busy to sit down and talk. Dr. Yeatman has written many articles in several realms of Zoology and also described a new species of copepod which bears his wife ' s name. The coming year will find Dr. Yeatman pursuing his research and travelling. Dr. Yeatman will be greatly missed by- students and fellow faculty members alike. For Dr. Yeatman ' s contributions to this university and community, the 1981 staff of the Cap and Gown dedicates this book to him. Being Chaplain of a small liberal arts school like Sewanee is no easy task. There are the regular duties that the rector of any church must face; but in addition, there is a tremendous responsibility for counseling of students, ministering to community needs, and pro- viding pastoral guidance and care in emergencies. In a nutshell, the Chaplain is the spiritual leader of our community. For eight years, Charles Kiblinger has held that position and has touched the lives of student and faculty members. When he left Sewanee in April, the void that he left was obvious. Charles was responsible for much progress during his time here. His administrative successes include the formation of the Chapel Council, the creation of the Christian Social Relations Board, the founding of the Sewanee Cross of Nails Chapter, and the perfection of a team ministry. He also should be commended for his beautiful and skillful combination of music and liturgies in the All Saints worship services. Although each of these accomplishments is very significant in the growth of our community, Charles will probably not be remembered for them. Rather we shall miss most dearly his words of assurance, his warm smile and his uncanny ability to see into our lives and give us the strength to pursue our dreams. Charles Kiblinger is a unique man and he has left an indelible mark on our community. Because of his outstanding contributions and in recognition of his years of service to this University, the staff of the Cap and Gown proudly dedicates this book to Rev. Charles Kiblinger.
