SEWANEE: PAST & PRESENT 
 
 HE story of the founding of Sewanee 
 by Bishop Polk of Louisiana, Bishop 
 Elliott of Georgia and Bishop Otey 
 of Tennessee, has been told and re¬ 
 told ; the wholesomeness of Sewanee 
 morally, mentally, physically, has 
 been proved ; the usefulness of Sewanee is manifest 
 in that through the dreadful years of Recon¬ 
 struction, through the great financial depression 
 that for so long benumbed the South, Sewanee has 
 prospered. What is being now looked to and pre¬ 
 pared for, is the further growth of Sewanee. And 
 one of the things that the public must understand is, 
 that Sewanee is a growth, a growth and not a creation ; 
 also, that growth—healthy growth—is slow. Another 
 point that must be considered is, that bigness is not 
 greatness. David was greater than Goliath; the 
 smallest man than the largest beast; the tiniest spark 
 of spirit than the most enormous bulk of matter that 
 ever was piled.

 THE BULLETIN 
 
 Our charter reads—‘'The University of the South 
 at Sewanee.” Incidentally, this name, "University 
 of the South,” was not given in a spirit of sectional¬ 
 ism, but because it could not be the University of 
 any State; it was not to be the gift of any one man ; 
 it was not meant for any one body of Christians; it 
 was planned to meet the needs of the South and of 
 the Southern student — of all Southern students — 
 hence the name "University of the South." The 
 founders laid their plans on the broadest possible lines; 
 in ideals, they planned for all time; in material things, 
 they planned in lines with the name chosen— they 
 planned for the South as they knew it. One of the 
 problems of the Southern college man in their day 
 was the summer vacation. The sons of the Southern 
 Planter could not return to the plantation home in 
 summer, and the boy was thus deprived absolutely of 
 home life; hence the Founders decided that "The 
 University of the South” for the South, must have a 
 winter holiday — Christmas on the old Plantation! 
 A picture framed now in a halo of blood and tears. 
 
 For a long time the winter holiday has proved 
 itself an admirable thing for the Southern student; 
 but now the day seems to have come when the winter 
 vacation must be given up. In all the slow-moving 
 years since the war between the States, the life of the 
 South has been changing. There are now, in the old 
 sense, no plantations left, or so few that they are 
 visited as sights—as relics of a civilization that has 
 vanished. The plantations of to-day are, more or 
 
SEWANEE I PAST & PRESENT

 less, let in small sections to renters; and, in the last 
 twenty years, homes — greatly for safety — have been 
 shifted to towns and cities. Furthermore, the sources 
 of malaria and of yellow fever have been discovered 
 and are being destroyed, and life in the South in sum¬ 
 mer, while more or less trying, is not now the menace 
 that it was in the days of the Founders. 
 
 The planters of the old regime had for their child¬ 
 ren tutors and governesses; to-day, the home having 
 been moved into towns and cities, the secondary 
 schools have come to the front. These schools close 
 in June, and the graduates of these schools desiring 
 to come to Sewanee, had to come immediately, 
 come without one hour’s rest. Plantations having 
 been abandoned as homes, city houses, hotels, apart¬ 
 ments, afford little room for a boy for the whole 
 winter. All these considerations and many others as 
 practical, have decided those who guide, in deepest 
 love, the course of Sewanee’s fortunes to give up the 
 winter holiday; to change this provision of the 
 Founders, who were themselves too wise not to have 
 changed with changing time. 
 
 Of the growth and progress of Sewanee there can 
 be no question. In an address made in June, 1907, 
 by Mr. Eugene Hinton, Chairman of the Southeastern 
 Freight Association, and an Alumnus of Sewanee, we 
 read—“My memory goes back to 1870 and I recall 
 that many of the students lived then in hurriedly- 
 constructed cabins of unplaned boards, not unlike 
 fishermen’s shacks,—and I may add that I have never 
 
IO 
 
 THE BULLETIN 
 
 before nor since seen a happier lot of boys. I 
 come back to-day to these cherished haunts 
 after thirty-six years of absence, and the mag¬ 
 nificent contrast is so bewildering that I have 
 not yet fully grasped its immensity. Our holy 
 Founders writing in 1859 of their plans for the Uni¬ 
 versity said—‘An oak that is to spread abroad its 
 branches in greatness and in power, that is to stand 
 the storms of centuries, does not grow up in a day.’ 
 The splendid achievements of the last forty years, and 
 the dazzling panorama presented to our vision to-day, 
 almost belie those words.” 
 
 Mr. Charles Dudley Warner, coming to Sewanee, 
 was asked — “What made you come? ” He answered 
 —“Sewanee made me come.” Then he added—“I 
 have been travelling through the South and South¬ 
 west, and whenever, being struck by the manner and 
 bearing of a young man, I asked where the said 
 young man had been trained — educated; the answer 
 was invariably—‘Sewanee;’ and so I determined to 
 come to the place where it seemed to me there must 
 be some kind of mill for the manufacture of gentle¬ 
 men.” 
 
 The late Doctor Morgan Dix of New York, coming 
 to Sewanee, asked—“How have you managed to keep 
 yourselves so hidden? ” The reply to this unexpected 
 question came slowly, hesitatingly, as if the one who 
 answered had to think out the proposition before he 
 could at all give any reason for so strange a state of 
 things. “Why, I suppose,” the professor said, “It is 
 
SEWANEE : PAST & PRESENT I I 
 
 because we have been so busy doing our work, that 
 we have not had time to talk about it.” 
 
 But, without noise or clamor, the Sewanee graduate 
 has taken an honorable place. In every walk of life 
 he is to be found, and as a rule, he is a successful 
 man, nearing as fast as time permits the top of his 
 profession. There is one other point that must be 
 touched on. Much has been said as to the University 
 of the South being an ecclesiastical institution. As 
 all know, a University is of many schools ; so it is with 
 Sewanee. She has a College of Arts and Sciences, 
 generally known as the Academic Department; a 
 Theological Department; a Law Department; and a 
 Medical Department. Since the meeting, last June, 
 of the Board of Trustees, a department for University 
 Extension Work has been added; beginning its 
 operations this Summer, ’08, in an admirably suc¬ 
 cessful Summer School. This Department, it is hoped, 
 will reach all the centres of education and culture 
 throughout the whole South, bringing home to the 
 people as never before, the influence, the knowledge, 
 and the value of Sewanee. 
 
 There is also at Sewanee a preparatory school, 
 formed on the plan of the English Grammar School; 
 this has been changed as to its name and discipline, 
 but not as to its purpose, which is to prepare students 
 to enter the University. The name is now “The Se¬ 
 wanee Military Academy” and the discipline is abso¬ 
 lutely military, being under the orders of an aftive 
 officer of the United States Regular Army.

 THE BULLETIN 
 
 Of the University Bishop Otey said—“It is de¬ 
 signed to found an institution on the most enlarged 
 and liberal scale, and last of all, to supply convenient 
 facilities for the acquisition of theological learning.” 
 
 Bishop Elliott said—“We have undertaken this 
 thing as a Church because there is no other way of 
 doing it. But it is in no sense intended to be sec¬ 
 tarian. Its curriculum will extend through every 
 branch of learning and science. . . its doors will be 
 open to students of every name and sect. . . its con¬ 
 duct will be Catholic in the very highest sense of the 
 word.” 
 
 And so it has been. Every creed is welcomed at 
 Sewanee, where conscious proselyting is unknown. 
 Rich and poor, high and low, “all sorts and 
 'conditions of men” fare alike at Sewanee. Those 
 who know Sewanee can say with truth, and have 
 said many, many times, that Sewanee is the best 
 environment that was ever devised for a grow¬ 
 ing boy or for a young man. The University 
 is centre and circumference; beginning and end of 
 Sewanee. The residents all live for and by the Uni¬ 
 versity ; and in the early years of which Mr. Hinton 
 speaks, in the years of 'shacks/ the years when Se¬ 
 wanee was all Spirit and no Matter, a stranger looking 
 about wonderingly, asked a waggoner: “Where is the 
 University?” the waggoner answered—“We-all is the 
 University, every body is the University, that’s all thar 
 is.” And so it has continued down to this day of fine 
 buildings where there used to be 'shacks/ of streets 
 
sewanee: past & present 
 
 13 
 
 where there used to be roads—every living soul, every 
 beating heart is the University. “All these things/' 
 material things, “have been added unto us,” because 
 first there were the higher things; the great ideals, 
 the undying love, the enduring, unfailing self-sacrifice. 
 
 The first people who after the war between the 
 States, collected at Sewanee, were soldiers of the 
 Confederate Army. Soldiers, some of them old 
 army men—West Pointers, with their wives and 
 children : there were widows too, come to educate 
 their boys, widows of soldiers, of clergymen, of 
 Bishops. They had just come through the most 
 terrible war of modern times : they were accustomed 
 to suffer, to endure; they were the survivors of a 
 “Lost Cause;” their eyes had been washed to clear¬ 
 sightedness with tears; their hearts were hungry for 
 something for which they could work, could fight, if 
 need be, die ; they were dying for the want of a hope, 
 and they found it in the University of the South ! 
 Still something to be done for their dear South! 
 They looked out to the future, and saw the vision of 
 the things that now are—“The towered city set 
 within a wood,”—and for this vision they bore 
 smilingly the burden and heat of the day; they laid 
 them down in the little graveyard out yonder on the 
 hillside in the sure knowledge that what they had 
 worked, had lived, had died for, that this vision would 
 never die! Out of life comes life, and the life of 
 Sewanee is the flower, the fruit, of many lives. 
 
 In 1907, fifty years after the first meeting of the 
 
14 
 
 THE BULLETIN 
 
 Founders, there was celebrated at Sewanee the Semi- 
 Centennial, and there came together a great gathering 
 of Alumni. Men of the 'shacks’ and cabins called 
 "Oxford Row;” men of the earlier halls — Otey, 
 Southwing, Waverly, Kendall, Fulford, Powhatan, 
 Tremlett; later, Palmetto, Magnolia, Alabama; latest, 
 men of Hoffman. Men who had studied under 
 Knight, Morris, Shoup, Gorgas, Dabney, Elliott, 
 Sevier, Harrison, DuBose, McCrady, Juny, Kirby- 
 Smith, Hodgson, Wilmer, Rogers, Page, Gailor, Wig¬ 
 gins, Trent, White, Wells, Beckwith, Sessums, Puckette, 
 Nauts, Hall, McKellar, Bain, Seibels, Jervey. Men 
 who could say—"John Sharpe Williams and I had 
 the same cabin,” or "I was here when Sessums was 
 a little chap;” or, "Think of Bob Myles operating on 
 the throat of the Emperor Frederick!” or, "And the 
 4 Cardinal’ in New York in Old Trinity!” "Do you 
 remember the day we dragged Mr. Gailor home in 
 the carriage with Manning in the lead?” or, “Did you 
 ever think old Weller’d be a High-Church Bishop?” 
 or, "Do you remember how slow Theo. Bratton used 
 to dance?” or, "I never think of Georgie Baxter 
 being old enough to be ex-Governor of anything.” 
 or, "Archie Butt is to be Aide to the President!” or, 
 "Do you remember the brass band when deRosset 
 was leader, and Si McBee blew the big horn?” or, 
 "We are turning out lots of Bishops these days, hope 
 we won’t swamp the Church,” or, "To tell the truth, 
 you can’t go anywhere now without stumping your 
 toes against Sewanee men, and Pm never ashamed of 
 
SEWANEE : PAST & PRESENT I 5 
 
 them.” And so they talked of the old days with a 
 tear in every laugh. They sang the old songs, hunted 
 up the old haunts, with a — “Where’s Johnny B. and 
 ‘Eye’ Ball?” “Where’s Charlie Cocke and Frank 
 Shoup ; why isn’t Billy Nichol here ; do you remember 
 that Quartette?” “Dear old Ned Nelson, I’ve never 
 heard of him since.” “Do you remember Shields 
 and his guitar, and old Van Hoose as Proctor?” or, 
 4 ‘It will be hard to find another Overton Lea.” “Think 
 of Kimbrough cutoff,” or, “We’ll never have another 
 Glee Club such as we had when Wiggins sang bass,” 
 or, “Joe Lovell was a little chap then,” or, “I was a 
 Hardee, never was such a team!” “Couldn’t touch 
 the Sewanee’s!” “And the men who wrote were to 
 us all Thackerays, and Dickens, and Poes; in our 
 eyes no one could touch them — Fearnley, and 
 Guthrie, and Cocke, and Ewing and Shoup, and the 
 Tuckers, and poor Armstrong; and they could write ! ’ ’ 
 “And how things have changed; how fine everything 
 is for these young fellows; they live too well.” And 
 from each class the eternal cry—“There were never 
 any days like our days—there were never any fellows 
 like the fellows I knew.” 
 
 So were struck all the chords of love and memory, 
 ringing clear and true in resolves for building still 
 more grandly in the future on the deep and noble 
 foundations of the past. “That which is done,” they 
 cried “is but the earnest of the things that we shall 
 do!” And so “God speed them!” cries their Alma 
 Mater, “God bless them every one!”
