Contined from page 9 Dr. Edward McCrady expressed this idea when he said that no interests of Man can compare with religion and learning for durability and abiding value. The University of the South represents a combination of the two, and I know of no surer foundation. Sewanee was razed to its foundations in 1863, yet it still existed as surely as it had in 1857 with the first meeting of the Boards of Trustees. The words of Stephen Elliott seem appropriate for a closing thought on this celebration of the 125th anniversa- ry of the University of the South. The very highest schol- arship, stated Elliott, is never sought save by a limited number of persons . . . This highest scholarship which is necessary as a standard ... is our desire to furnish. These words were the ones of Elliott ' s speech to potential bene- factors of Sewanee, and it is thoughts like these which inspired the Board of Trustees to found this university. Echoed over the last century and a quarter, they apply today as they did then. Happy 125th, Sewanee, and may all your anniversaries see you as steadfast an institution as you are now. Nicki D.
