College in the Clouds

“ ... the people who come to Sewanee are divided into two groups: those who can realize that on a low day, when the clouds drag across the mountains, they are really living in the clouds and not in the fog, and those people at Sewanee who never realized they were in the clouds. They were just in the fog.... It’s a clear cut truth: You’re not living in mist and fog there. You’re living in cloud. If you discover what it is to live in the clouds, then it doesn’t matter how well you actually did, because you absorbed and learned lots of things at Sewanee, and for that I'm ever grateful.” ²
