Excerpt from Cap and Gown, 1891: Published by the Fraternities
The rev. Thomas frank gailor, m.a., -chan cellor of the University of the South, was born in Jackson, Mississippi, on the seventeenth day of September, I856. He is thus thirty-five years old, and is young 'for his age. After taking his m.a. At Racine College in 1876, he entered the Gen eral Theological Seminary, and graduated there in I879, taking deacon's orders in the same year. He was priested in 1880, and two years afterwards was elected chaplain and Professor of Ecclesiastical History at the University of the South. On the resignation of Dr. Hodgson in August, 1890, he was elected Vice - Chancellor of the University, whereupon Columbia Uni versity conferred the degree of std. Upon him.
Dr. Gailor possesses in a very marked degree the affection and admiration of the students at Sewanee. They rejoice in a ruler and a judge over them who has not forgotten his own youth, and who is in perfect touch and sympathy with them. Dr. Gailor is one of the most dignified of men, but he never troubles himself about his dignity. He does not hedge himself about with rules and regulations, or make himself difficult of access. True dignity will always take care of itself. The men appreci ate the many sacrifices Dr. Gailor has made for Sewanee, and Dr. Gailor appreciates their appreciation. He is a man to tie to, and a man to follow. Most of us would rather be wrong with Dr. Gailor than right without him.
