 DISCUSSES DUTY
Robert Jemison, IT,, Presides and Introduces Speakers-The Bishop Talks of Duty to Future
 Generations of Mankind

Former students of Sewanee and many other priminent citizens of Birmingham joined last night in giving Bishop Thomas F. Gailor reception and smoker at the Country club The old spirit of Sewanee was manifested by students that have been away from her classic walls for many years, and business men enlivened the evening with laudatory words for the campaign that Is being conducted. by Bishop Gailor and prominent members of the Episcopal church for endowment of that institution.
 Robert Jemison, Jr., presided in most acceptable manner, introducing the va rious speakers and preceding the introduce tions with suitable references to the col lege that Is making it's appeal to the spirit of loyalty and reverence of it's stu dent alumni and friends.
 The first speaker was Rev Willoughby N. Claybrook, rector of St. Marys-on-the- Highlands He deprecated the fact that a man so prominent, so learned and so eloquent as Bishop Galor must go out and gather money for such splendid in- stitution as Sewanee. He said that the churchmen of the southland owed it to Sewanee to correct such a condition as quickly as possible. pr. Claybrook said he prayed that in the south there would be erected a massive temple of worship where Bishop Gailor might be stationed to speak the word of God to willing peo- pie and that in such a way the greatest good might come to the people of the land. He closed by saying that 1t would be continuous reflection upon the churohmen and the people of the south if the efforts of Bishop Gailor were in vain and the endowment sought was nor forthcoming.
 H. c. Seibels
 II. G. Seibels a former student of Se- vance and business man of Birmng- ham, who manifests a deep interest in his alma mater, was the next speaker. He told of the loyalty ever felt for Se- vance after once attending that school and said he believed the present needed funds would be forthcoming
 Rev. MT. Claybourne of Sewanee who Is accompanying Bishop Gailor on his trip through the south, also spoke. He played football with Mir. Seibels and was schooled in some business methods by Robert Jemison, Jr. He said that the people of the south who boasted of high ideals and who sought the best in educa- tion and betterment of all conditions would come to the aid of Sewanee in this matter now before that institution.
 John l.. Kaul W. IT. Johnston, Prof. C. B. Brown of the High school and James A. VanHoose, were the other gen. temen present to testify to the good being accomplished by Swanee. They re- lated personal incidents relating to the college and then Bishop Gailor, the prin cipal speaker of the evening, was pre- scented.
 The bishop began one of the most scholarly addresses ever heard in Bir- mingham, perhaps, by saying that he was gratified over the reception tender ed him in Birmingham. He said that he had been more than cordially received, that the hospitality was delightful and that he would always remember Bir- mingham as place to which Sewanee could be compared.
