Product Description
Sewanee Sesquicentennial History: The Making 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 underlying its creation to the desperate struggle after the Civil War to become a distinctive and effective Episcopal university in the South. Newly discovered documents confirm the offer of the vice-chancellorship to Jefferson Davis, and include correspondence between Vice-Chancellor Benjamin Wiggins and President Theodore Roosevelt. This history traces 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 are seen in new perspectives.
