A wonderful university where the classical education was king (Latin, Greek, and British lit!), and the buffeting and destructive winds of PC little more than rattled the shutters. But as VMI and the Citadel fell, I knew it was only a matter of time.

Sigh. I attended Sewanee when Reagan was president. It seems I've now lost both in a short space of time.

"I will not walk with your progressive apes,
erect and sapient. Before them gapes
the dark abyss to which their progress tends --
if by God's mercy progress ever ends,
and does not ceaselessly revolve the same
unfruitful course with changing of a name."
J.R.R. Tolkien

VMI is bowed a bit but not defeated...yet.

My wife and I are both Sewanee '86!

This cr*p was starting when we were there. In '82 when I started it was a freewheelin' place. By the time I graduated there was no more Party Weekend, but an Erotic Film Festival and a "Peace and Nonviolence" course.

That new Pokemon dining hall is bad enough. If they go through with this they don't get another cent from these alumni.

Bless that rock-ribbed English department! Ecce quam bonum.
