 1922 KENTUCKIAN, R Kentucky has done a good deal for her university, but much more must be done if the work of the university is to compare favorably with what is done elsewhere. The contribution which, students can make to this progress is through loyalty, hard work and honest endeavor in all their relations. Nothing counts so much for a univer- sity’s progress as these essentials, coupled with good teaching and the inspiring purpose of the university’s officers and faculty. The student body of the university has always responded to the higher ideals. In my five years as president I have come to have a real affection for the university, its student body and its faculty; such a spirit of good-will and affection on all sides can make cur dreams of the university come true, and with the help of the alumni and the citizenship of the state, the university is bound to be a great factor in the development of old Kentucky.

FORMAL OPENING OF UNIVERSITY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1921 The P resident Says It is a good thing to be a college student under almost any circumstances, but it is a great thing if one puts his heart and soul into it. During his four-year residence the stu- dent undergoes tests of character, develops viewpoints, and lays a foundation for open- mindedness and tolerance that should lead to a better citizenship. 1 his is the hope of the state in establishing the university. On the other hand, the university must be prepared to do its part in the training of the youth who come to it. Adequate buildings, equipped laboratories, libraries, and well-trained men and women on the staff are required for the work of the institution. The call upon the university to teach and to carry on research grows each year. Build- ings wear out, equipment becomes obsolete, and staffs must be enlarged and strengthened.
