The Sewanee Mountain MESSENGER is published weekly on Fridays as a public service to the Sewanee community. The MESSENGER is free of charge, distributed to all University faculty and staff, and placed in 26 Sewanee-area businesses for pickup. The MESSENGER is also available in Monteagle, Tracy City, Sherwood and Cowan. 3500 copies are printed. It is made possible by the patronage of our advertisers and by gifts from the University of the South (print production) and the Sewanee Community Chest.
