“Every time I see Sewanee, I am struck by its simple, timeless beauty.”

On January School

by Noah Trammell (class of 2010)

One of my best memories of January School is my first visit to Sewanee. The first sight I saw was a long road lined by trees and green grass, and tall stone buildings. I will always remember the chapel, with its high, curving ceiling, its rows of stained glass saints, the bright, yet not harsh light, and the great stained glass image of a triumphant Christ, shining in the warmth of the afternoon sun. Every time I see Sewanee, I am struck by its simple, timeless beauty.
