Rebel's Rest has been a cornerstone in Sewanee forever! The design of the home speaks volume to the lifestyle of the citizens of Sewanee.

While I try to remain positive that it will be rebuilt, previous experience has made me distrustful. Please proove my trust in this administration is not misplaced. I wiull continue to pray for wisdom and clarity for all.

Come on University of the South......show some leadership and do the right thing. It's part of the campus history. Not restoring RR doesn't pass the "red face test". On an intellectual level,you know what the right thing to do is........

this is my family home, an icon of Sewanee, and one of Tennessee's most historic homes. it would be a travesty to not honor one of the founders of the University of the South.

I would not urge "indefinite" delay, but delay for the natural course of discussion and decision to take place.

This iconic and central Sewanee structure must be preserved and/or reconstructed to the greatest extent possible in its current location.

Many fond memories for thousands of people are at stake in the preservation of this building. At the minimum let the University proceed with transparency. Thank you.

So much of Sewanee is about historical context and tradition. To not do everything in our power to save this monument is just plain anti-Sewanee.

That building is something you save. I got a call from the phonathon today. i don't think our money is doing any good building an endowment without preserving the ar hitectual heritage. Please save that building or whatever part can be saved.
