Would Sewanee Be Any Fit For Me?

I am an older white male, having graduated from Sewanee in the class of 1959. This board is not quite dead. I loved Sewanee, and I have had family members attending there since the 1920s and friends there ever since I went there as a freshman. The English program is hard to beat. (My great-nephew, an English major at Sewanee, graduated a few years ago.) Please take a look at the Sewanee Review, which I think is the oldest literary journal in continuous publication in the U.S. There is a wonderful natural setting (13,000 acres), which is what attracts many students to Sewanee, but not nearly a majority, I think. There is a lively party scene, but I know quite a few current students who do not join in that aspect of Sewanee life. Please do visit!
