T. Durig at the Cordell-Lorenz Observatory. Sewanee is synonymous with and is the site of The University of the South, the home institution of the Cordell-Lorenz Observatory. Founded in 1857, Sewanee provides a nationally recognized liberal arts education. A Sewanee student, Eric Reames, helped provide confirmation of this minor planet.
