Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cap and Gown, 1939 Sacred Sewanee, sacred to those who are gone, to those who are here, and to those who are yet to come. Those who are here and who are Sewanee go tomorrow to be tested and to be found not wanting. And therein lies Sewanee's mission: to prepare the minds of those who have come here so that when they come to be tried they shall not be found wanting. To the attainment of this end many things are requisite. Not the least among these is proper tradition. Tradition here at Sewanee, as a Sewanee poet has stated it, there storms burst not, nor cares intrude; there learning dwells and Peace is Wis dom's guest. Then it is amid tradition, founded in learning, that Sewanee men gain their maturity. And so it is that when the die is cast and the balance of judgment is read, those found not wanting may say for all to hear, I am a Sewanee man. Then to those who are gone, to those who are here, and to those who are yet to come, Sewanee is sacred. It was, is and shall be that the past, the present, and the future shall speak of Sewanee and say, My star thou'lt be.
