Sewanee: From Generation to Generation

From spring daffodils in Abbo’s Alley to an autumn panorama at Green’s View, from the sacred hush of All Saints’ Chapel to the raucous sidelines of McGee Field, the spectacular natural setting, the distinctive architecture, and the colorful history of the University of the South are captured as never before.  In the full-color, large-format pages of dramatic photography and text, Sewanee comes alive as a place where tradition endures, and the pursuit of learning finds new expression with each generation that passes through its stone gates.
 
Written by James Crutchfield and six essayists who know Sewanee well, Sewanee: From Generation to Generation tells the remarkable story of one of the most beautiful and unique liberal arts universities in the world.  The book speaks of the unique experience that exerts a pull on all who know the University, and the uncommon bonds that tie generation to generation.   

 

Sewanee: Generation to Generation is $65 each plus $12 shipping/handling. These impressive books will make wonderful gifts and will be enjoyed it for years to come.  To order yours, CLICK HERE TO VISIT OUR SECURE WEBSITE.

SEWANEE: The First 150 Years

of the University of the South


Sewanee The First 150 Years  of the University of the South
 
Sewanee The First 150 Years of the University of the South is the first comprehensive history of a unique educational institution. Making full use of the University’s rich archival resources and of many interviews, the history examines and re-examines every facet of Sewanee’s storied past: from the original concepts behind its creation to the desperate struggle after the Civil War to become a distinctive and effective Episcopal university in the South.

New information confirms the offer of the vice-chancellorship to Jefferson Davis, reveals correspondence between Vice-Chancellor Benjamin Wiggins and President Theodore Roosevelt, and examines the constant struggle to raise adequate financial resources, a goal not achieved until the 1980s. Remarkable athletic feats (and defeats), the confrontation and accommodation with the civil rights movement, and the key role played by the University’s Board of Trustees—all are seen in a new perspective.
Sewanee: The First 150 Years is available for $37.50 plus $12 shipping and handling. To order, CLICK HERE TO VISIT OUR SECURE SITE.
