PhD. Alumnus and Trustee
Prof. of Classical Languages
Secretary of Trustees
Secretary of the Faculties
Marshal of the University
He was a graduate of the University of the South (1942) and Johns Hopkins University (1949).
Author of "Socrates, the Father of Western Philosophy."
From a dedication [Cap & Gown, 1966]
He is a Southerner — from a part of the South which, understanding the true function of aristocracy, furnished its country with men like Washington and Lee: the Eastern Shore of Virginia. He is a Churchman — from a particular branch of our Church whose priests have been leaders in faith and whose laymen leaders in fact. He is an alumnus — a graduate in the days of Dr. Guerry and Major Gass, when a small school made up by its excellence what it lacked in equipment.
To speak factually, he is a scholar — the acting secretary of Phi Beta Kappa here, chairman of his department, and a full professor. He is Marshal of the University Faculties. He is an active Kappa Sig; he is adviser to the Red Ribbon Society. One does not have to be in his classes to know him.
But most significant of all, he shows those qualities of balance and perspective, of moderation and of gentle tolerance for all points of view which are central to any conception of the Christian gentleman and which seem to be, in essence, just what Sewanee — with her liberal arts education in a specialized world — is trying to effect.
It is with great pleasure that we, the men of Sewanee, dedicate this 1966 Cap AND Gown to a Sewanee Man, Dr. Bayly Turlington.
