conscientious convictions on this or any other sub-
ject will be completely uninhibited and genuinely
respected. All that we ask of them, as of others
on our staff, is a reasonable respect for the opin-
ions of any equally devout Christians who may
differ with them, and adherence to democratic
procedure in working for the application of their
principles in practice.
Another piece of news which came to the re-
gents' meeting is the fact that the Church sup-
ported Sewanee this year as it has never done
before. Three years ago the owning dioceses
agreed to try to increase their support by $10,000
a year until the total annual contribution becomes
$100,000. In 1951 the goal was $60,000; and
we fell so far short of it that we wondered whe-
ther it would be necessary to drop the schedule
back one year in order to catch up. However,
we decided not to retreat, but to seek the origi-
nally intended goal of $70,000 for 1952. Well,
we not only made it, but went well over. The
actual total was $71,958.90 and this did not in-
clude over $20,000 sent to St. Luke's from The-
ological Education Sunday offerings last year.
As long as the Church thus shows its interest
by supporting and strengthening this University,

Vshop E. P. Dandridge Elected Seminary Dean
Six Faculty Members
NamedFor Lu^fs
St,
Seven faculty members for the the-
ological seminary were named on Feb-
ruary 6 by the Vice-Chancellor and
regents. Bishop Edmund P. Dandridge
of Tennessee will become dean and
the six other appointments include
distinguished scholars of the Episcopal
Church.
As eighth dean of St. Luke's, Bishop
Dandridge brings to the Mountain a
nation-wide reputation as one of the
most influential bishops of the Epis-
copal Church. He was born in Vir-
ginia, took B.A. and M.A. degrees at
the University of Virginia and his
theological degree at Oxford. He has
held rectorships in West Virginia,
Virginia, and in Nashville, having been
at Christ Church for fifteen years
when elected bishop-coadjutor in 1938.
He became diocesan in 1947 on the
death of Bishop James M. Maxon. At
the last General Convention, Bishop
Dandridge was chairman of the im-
portant program and budget commit-
tee.
The Rev. Bayard H. Jones, long
acknowledged as an authority in
America on liturgies, will continue his
professorship of ecclesiastical history.
