The biggest news of the week is to be found our page one sports story. Coach Shirley Majors and the Sewanee Tigers, in two brilli. ant victories over Howard and Millsaps, have demonstrated that they are dependent neither on subsidizd athletes nor required freshman attendance to be successful. What is required in year of Chapel construction, the year of the Sewanee symposia, the year of our greatest evidently is a month of man-killing practice and a kind of all-consuming determination It is high time (and has been for sei years) to re-evaluate the football situation at Sewanee. Football is not in the category casual extracurricular activities. It is a v carious expression of the student body by me enrollment. Sewanee life does not seem much changed by , accident.

But a much more adequate statement than necessary— and not only to the freshmen. this is Bishop Mitchell presented us with that stateI think, in his remarkable address to the the Editor ment, Letter opening convocation of the University. He reminded us of what the centennial year itself should remind us of— that Sewanee is a consecrated institution. Now consecration has nothing to do with worth or goodness or practical virtue. It docs have something to do with purSewanee's accomplishment pose, with intent. We're Happy To Hear It rightly a matter for considerable is and i lively Have been a subscriber Its consecration, its purpose, is quite as set forth in the purple prose of the University Senate on pages ten and eleven debate. that I get all discover the basis of our excellence, if we Rush week Any attempt to discover the basic nature of Sewanee must begin with an investigation of the basic nature of the liberal arts.

We are invited to investigate the Sewanee liberal arts. Now a good simple-minded definition of the liberal arts is one which is no definition at all: arts, or inquiries, which are liberal. Liberal would be a very good word if anyone knew what it meant. I take it to mean, qualifiedly, free. We are granted a freedom with so many strings attached as to make it at Sewanee, or the Greek Masque Dear 'The authority of those who teach is very an impediment to those who desire to often The first time we read these words we might think they had been uttered by some disappointed and disgruntled undergraduate. But no, the quotation is from the distinguished Roman Consul, Marcus Tullius Cicero, master of Latin prose, and in all his actions an ornament to the Republic. Apparently Cicero, like many other people, had teachers who "got in his way," who did not share his interests, and who were unsympathetic with his aspirations. But he overcame this handicap, as posterity can attest; and who taught him no one now remembers or cares. It has been pointed out that a teacher might say with pride "I taught Mr. So-and-So," but he could hardly say "I educated him." Every educated man is self-educated, the teacher being merely the "means by which." We have an idea that many great men encountered the same impediment as Cicero, and got their edulearn." cation in spite of their teachers.

It is a freedom to interpret our past and our traditions. Now traditions can be very fine and very full things, but they are not dogma. In particular, we have many wonderful traditions at Sewanee.
