Mscm 3te tins iBook £SpectfuUp ©ebtcatcb A Word About the New Governor l'(JUSTUS EVERETT WILLSON, tlie son of Hiram Willson and Ann Calvin (Ennis) Will- son, was born at Maysville, October 13, 1846. lie. graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1869. He is the brother of the poet, Forceythe Willson, the author of “The Old Sergeant,” and other poems. Every man, woman and child in Louisville knows Augustus E. Willson, Kentucky’s new Governor. Al- though a profound lawyer and a man sixty-two years of age, Mr. Willson has the reputation here of being a “good fellow.” He is of a jovial, happy disposition, a golf player, a baseball fiend, a splendid story teller, and loves to sing. Few men can make a better after-dinner speech than he, and if his auditors tire of speechmaking, he can sing them a few songs just as good as can be heard in any of the vaudeville playhouses in the big cities. Old-fashioned melodies are his favorites. The favorite pastime, however, of the new Governor, is golf. He is a. good player, too, and has been known to express more delight over defeating some of his friends at this game than he did when lie was elected Chief Executive of the Commonwealth. Mr. Willson is a civil lawyer and a. member of several clubs, but he cannot be regarded as a club man, as all of his time is either spent at his law office or at his Fourth avenue home, except that which is given to outdoor exercise. Although the new Governor is rather exclusive in bis close friendships and intimate acquaintances, he is one of the plainest of men. Tie always has a pleasant smile, a firm and hearty grasp of the hand and something agreeable to say. Ho has had wide experience in polities, but now as he is suium in as Governor of the State, he enters upon the duties of the first public office he has ever held. He was defeated sev- eral times for Congress, but these defeats never prevented him from taking an active interest in politics, and for thirty years his voice has been raised throughout the Commonwealth in behalf of every man who was nominated by the Republican party. To this, however, there was one exception—when George D. Todd was the Republican nominee for Mayor of Louisville, and made his race on the American Protective Association platform. “A square deal was one of the slogans of his campaign and that he will endeavor to give it, no one doubts. But, at the same time, it can be relied upon that he is a man who will protect the party interests of the Republicans and will see to it that the or- ganization does not suffer. The new Governor’s home life is an ideal one. No man could be more devoted to his home ties or to his wife and kinsmen than Mr. Willson. His residence on Fourth avenue is one of the most beautiful in the city. It is large and roomy, and, although the structure is new, the interior finishings are antique and many re- minders of his Harvard days are to be seen. The Governor and Mrs. Willson had only one child, a son, who died when quite young. Both are very fond of children, par- ticularly Mr. Willson. During his recent campaign, at one place where a mother held up a rosy-cheeked, brown-eyed little boy to shake hands with the gubernatorial nominee, Mr. Willson' in- dulged in no flattery to the mother, but, turning to several news- paper correspondents who accompanied him, said: “I would rather have that boy than be Governor. ’ ’ Mr. Willson usually walks to and from his office, and always takes advantage of the walk through the park to get the fresh air “to brace himself up,” as he says, and Mrs. Willson, who is the first lady of the Commonwealth, “is of a retiring and modest dis- position, and is known only to rather an exclusive circle of ac- quaintances. JUDGE WILLIAM T. LAFFERTY Judge William T. Lafferty 0 man connected with public affairs in Ken- tucky has ever done more for educational in- stitutions in the State in the same length of time, than Judge William T. Lafferty, of Cynthiana. He was appointed a member of the Board of Trustees of the State College of Kentucky by Governor Beekam, during the session of the legislature of 1906. From the outset he showed unusual' ability iu solving some of the problems pertaining to the development of this institution. At first, he studied assiduously the conditions prevailing in the State College, and then set himself to the task of helping the various departments in their upbuilding. Judge Lafferty is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Bible College of Kentucky University, and the dual trustee relationship enabled him to amicably arrange an agreement be- tween Kentucky University and State College, by which the former should be changed to the historic name of Transylvania University and the latter to the State University, Lexington, Kentucky. On November 19, 1907, a conference was called in Louisville for the purpose of effecting an agreement between the State Col- lege and the two normal schools, so that a. united effort could be made to secure ample appropriations for these three schools from the General Assembly of Kentucky. At this meeting, a joint committee was appointed, representing the three schools, of which Judge Lafferty was appointed chairman. To Judge Lafferty must be accorded credit for having shaped the general policy of favorable legislation, represented by the change of name of Kentucky University to Transylvania University; State College of Kentucky to State University, Lexington, Kentucky; one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars to the Eastern State Normal School, and twenty thousand dollars a year increase in revenue; one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the Western State Normal School, with thirty thousand dollars a year increase in revenue; two hundred thousand dollars to the State University, with twenty thousand dollars increase in revenue. The bills for this legislation were drawn largely through the instrumentality of Judge Lafferty, and he followed each step in the legislative processes, each bill, until finally passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Willson. In the educational bill effecting the State University, there was a provision for the organization of a Law School. At a called meeting of the Board of Trustees, on April 14, the §jiaw School was. established, and Judge Lafferty was elected to the Deanship; and at the same time was appointed to a newly created position, Comptroller of the University. Universal approval lias been given the action of the Board of Trustees in bringing Judge Lafferty into such intimate rela- tionship with the present rapid development of the State Univer- sity. lie is a man of fine culture, in thorough sympathy with the aims aud ambitions of young men and women; has the respect and affection of men throughout the State in all promi- nent walks of life: has the confidence of all men with whom he has ever come in contact; has had a. wide experience in legislative affairs: is a lawyer of ability and possesses an untiring energy for bringing to a successful conclusion, any plan in which he may become interested. The State University of Kentucky welcomes Judge Lafferty to the faculty, and wishes for him many years of happiness and prosperity in the new work of educating young men and women, that he Has seen fit to take up after so many successful years in other lines. Evidently his purpose in life is to serve best his fellowmcn, and he comes to this institution with this thought as his guiding motive.

PRESIDENT JAMES KENNEDY PATTERSON VICE-PRESIDENT JOHN HENRY NEVILLE History of the University IE State University of Kentucky owes its origin to an act of Congress, July 2, 1862, donating to each state, for each of its senators and rep- resentatives in Congress, thirty thousand acres of public land, the revenue of which should provide colleges for instruction in agriculture and mechanic arts—not to the exclusion, how- ever, of other arts and sciences. The State of Kentucky received under this allotment three hundred and thirty thousand acres, and three years later obligated itself to establish an A. and M. college through the acceptance of the gifts and conditions of this act. The citizens of Lexington and vicinity donated the sum of one hundred and ten thousand dollars to buy a site for the col- lege, and it was located in this city by the General Assembly as one of the colleges of Kentucky University. 'I1 he connection with Kentucky University continued for thirteen years, when the act making it one of the colleges of that University was repealed and its separate existence established upon a new and broader basis. The City of Lexington again offered to secure its location, the city park and thirty thousand dollars in city bonds were supplemented by the County of Fayette with twenty thousand dollars in county bonds. These offers were accepted by the General Assembly and in 1880 the first buildings were erected upon the spacious grounds so soon to be converted into the beautiful campus of a first-class university. From its very birth, expansion has been the watchword of the institution’s guardians. Immediately after its connection with Kentucky University was severed, the classical and normal departments and academy were added. There had been a sub- stantial increase in the number of students and the graduates exceeded in proportion the number of the first commencement. Meanwhile the income of the institution was increased by the Legislature to more than double its former sum, and this was augmented later by a Federal appropriation equal to an endow- ment of half a million dollars. Not until more recent years, however, has the growth of the University been most phenomenal and its scope of work more extended. In 1891 the Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in its present quarters; and Electrical Engineer- ing added six years later. The Department of Anatomy and Physiology was also established in 1891; and the Department of Physics three years afterward. The close of the old century and the opening of the new, witnessed the erection of several of our most ornamental and im- portant buildings, viz.. Science Hall (1898), Patterson Hall for the ladies (1903), and Alumni Hall (1903). The General As- sembly. recognizing the growing needs of the institution, again appropriated a sum to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars per annum for defraying expenses, and in 1907, Congress again made an additional appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars per annum. The increase of students from year to year has equaled the most sanguine expectations of those who have watched the growth of the institution and had its welfare at heart; the total number of graduates in the last three years exceeding that of the first thirty. With the close of the present collegiate year four addi- tional buildings will be completed to adorn the campus—a spacious home for the College of Agriculture, Department of Education, Mining Laboratory and Carnegie Library. Such healthful growth indicates the fact that Kentucky will have soon established a State University that will compare favorably in every respect with those of her wealthier sister States. Any historical sketch of the State University would be in- complete without a reference to one man, its present and only President, James Kennedy Patterson, whose ceaseless and de- voted efforts have been the most potent factor in the development of the institution from its infancy to its present condition of vigorous maturity. His administration during the last twenty- five years has witnessed an increase in the number of buildings on the campus from two to twelve; an increase of about forty in the number of instructors, and of students in attendance nearly one thousand. Not only has the College made great advancement along material lines and in the quantity of students, but, what is more important, in the quality of its graduates. For many years past there has been a constant advance in the curriculum of each department, thus raising the entrance requirements to a higher and higher standard. The history of the past year truly indicates that another turning point in the life of the institution has been reached— the transition from a College to the rank of a University. This advance was recognized by the General Assembly in its last ses- sion by a change of title from the A. and M. College to the State University, and an appropriation of two hundred thousand dol- lars, the largest sum that has ever before been received at one time by any educational institution in Kentucky. The bill also provides for the establishment of a College of Law and a College of Medicine and Surgery. With a great University at the head of the school system of our Commonwealth, and a growing liberality toward the cause of education on the part of the Legislature, we may safely predict a higher place for the name of Kentucky in the list of states and a brighter future for her worthy citizenship.

This department bears witness to the tireless efforts and devotion of our Dean, Prof. James G. White, who not only guides the men to a thoughtful and judicious choice of work, and takes time to cultivate their friendship; but promotes every cause that contributes to the welfare of the students of the University. There is a wide range of choice in the Scientific Department. Courses in the following subjects may be chosen as majors: Chemistry, Botany, Physics, Physiology, Anatomy, Geology, Zoology, or Entomology can be taken: and the satisfactory completion of the re- quired amount of work entitles one to the degree of Bachelor of Science: while an addi- tional year occupied in study and research leads to the degree of Master of Science. Only the briefest outline can be given of the various majors, several pages would be necessary to give the details of the work of any one of the courses. Through the co-operation and energy of Prof. Franklin E. Tuttle and Dr. Kalpli X. Maxon the Chemistry Department has greatly increased its efficiency, number of courses, library and apparatus, until this department is now regarded as one of the strongest in the South. The chemistry building may always be distinguished at night by the gleam from the windows of the busy laboratories. In fact a new rendering of the old adage is. “Classics work from eight till one; but the chemist’s work is never done. The Department of Botany, under the able management of Prof. Clarence W. 'Matthews, 27 assisted by Prof. Alfred H. Gilbert, has so far outgrown the equipment that the laboratories will he moved into new and more spacious quarters in the new Agriculture building now nearing completion. The Department of Physics is in charge of Prof. Merry L. Pence, assisted by Prof. William S. Webb. This department has grown until lecture room facilities are now a necessity. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees money was appropriated for a new Physics building, which we hope to be able to occupy in September. The Department of Anatomy and Physiology is under the control of Dr. Joseph W. Pryor, the one man whom everybody gets acquainted with. Dr. Pryor is surgeon of the regiment and is also the man on duty at the foot ball games and other athletic contests. The department of Geology and Zoology are supervised by Prof. Arthur M. Miller, who by a mere look at a piece of rock can interpret the hidden secrets of past ages. The laboratory work is very ably carried on by Miss Sue D. McCann, instructor in Entomology. There is a valuable library for the work in Geology, and one for Entomology and Zoology and a well- equipped museum affords ample material for illustration and practical exercise in the fields of these important subjects. The story of the marvelous field of Science, as here studied, cannot be briefly told, but any earnest student who comes to this University to prepare himself for his life work in the sciences, may find preparation that will lead him to efficiency and suc- cess, and with the growing facilities of this rising University, those looking toward medicine and similar fields may soon expect satisfactory opportunities. Xote : Since writing the foregoing, Prof. .T. fi. White, owing to the heavy duties involved upon him by the change of the College to a University, resigned as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Prof. A. M. Miller will till the chair in the future. Prof. White’s resignation does not take place until .Tune. THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE LABORATORY JAMES G. WHITE. Dean MARTHA R. WHITE |.

THE oldest and yet the youngest of sciences; chem- istry stands today in the front, both as an applied and as a pure science. Its scope is practically unlimited; its various branches so infinite that it has been seriously proposed to create from it new sciences in order to lessen the magnitude of its consideration as a single subject. Probably no other science forms the basis of so many practical ones as does this. The im- portance of the chemist is constantly increasing and the demand for able research workers far exceeds the supply. As it was in the days of old, when men looked with wide open eyes and fear at the wonderful phenomena produced by the holy churchmen with their mystifying experiments in chemistry; so it is today that man, as he is, stands stupified to see the advancement in all the network of science brought about by the investigations in chemistry. Chemistry is a broad word and means more than the ordinary man conceives. It bears with it not only the fundamental constituents, but also the very existence of life, to say nothing of the probable creation of life and the absolute destruction of matter. Many things have already been discovered but they are as yet in the embryonic stage when we think of the great fields vet to be conquered. A glance at the 90,000 carbon com- pounds now known only tell in a feeble way all that is yet to come. The Department of Chemistry is now under the very able direction of Dr. F. E. Tuttle, who has not only won the highest admiration of the students, but of all with whom lie has come in contact. Associated with him is Dr. R. N. Maxon, a man worthy of his position. Today marks a great transition in our college life— the passing from a college to a university and the development of a real Department of Chemistry. With the change of schoolings we also pass into a new life, such as buildings and the longed for, necessary appa- ratus. We now stand on a footing second only to few and the front is already in view. The era for famous chem- ists in Kentucky is now at hand and success will crown the efforts of Dr. Tuttle. Franklin Elliott Tuttle, A. M., Ph. I). Theta Delta Chi : Phi Beta Phi: B. A.

To some extent my middle name symbolizes my character. I am quiet and reserved and have for many years tried to be-“Ginn;” or, in other words, to win the affections of a certain young lady— both of us are so very slow to speak, that the answer is still a question. I am a good chemist and artist but some fear I will some day fall into the lowly occupation of teaching Calculus. I am “Sandy” MacKenzie’s model of propriety and thereby am the most prominent topic in meta- physics. After six long years of toil, success has crowned my wearied labors.

I was remarkable, when a tender prattler, for my loquacious talent. My logical replies to all of “Sandy’s” queries are sequels of oratorical sonorosity, drowned in idylity, and lost in magniloquent verbosity. I divide my time between Chemical lab. and bridge parties. Verging on the autumnal, I hate girls, but as a true son of Bacchus, I am frequently seen taking “Keaty” Browning to drink pink tea with Miss Kinkead. I was quarantined once on account of a catching laugh. But I am, however, a good, all-round fellow, with plenty of gray matter but exceedingly particular where I use it. As yet I am unspoiled by labor and its rewards. 35 i WILLIAM RODES, Lexington, Ky. He seem’d For dignity compos’d and high exploit: But all was fake and hollow. B. S. in Chemistry. Sigma Chi.

I began my existence some time during the year 1887, in a small cottage, as all ye great men have been heretofore. This is the only claim I have to greatness, but it is enough for me to place myself in the Hall of Fame at the tender age of 21. I am small of stature and casually known as Doc.” I am supposed, by some, to be a most faci- uating fellow. This last statement is true despite my many facial, brainial, and eharactcral defects. Predominating in this, stands forth my ill-nature and general absurd ignorance. It is with regret my colleagues realize that my abilities and energies have been misapplied, as Geology, and not Chemistry, seems to have been my forte. I am a good athlete, but even this does not increase my batting average. GUY BAKER TAYLOR, Lexington, Ky. 1 ‘ One science only will one genius fit, So vast is art, so narrow human wit. B.

My eyes are dreamy, which bespeaks my genius, and for once my eyes do not lie. I have won much local fame with my many fancy stunts on roller skates. I am said to have loved once so hard that my throat was affected, which is shown now by my rare use of the English language. Too much cannot be said in praise of myself—what was good has been said, and that saying will be justified by the position I will hold some day in scientific circles. 36 HE Department of Physics is one of the oldest departments in the University, it having been established in the year 1894 by an act of the Legislature of this great Commonwealth. This department occupies quarters in the basement of the main building, and carries on its work under the most adverse conditions. The rooms occupied do not furnish one-fourth of the needed space for the present enrollment of students, and are, in general, unfit for the work in Physics. The class room and laboratory are both in a crowded condition. Consequently it is impossible to accomplish the work that is being done in better equipped institutions of learning. The work, however, is as good as is done in other colleges with like facilities. The recent appropriation made by the Legislature of Ken- tucky at its last session, will enable the State University to adequately provide for this neglected department. And under the able direction of Prof. Merry L. Pence, we hope to see this department blossom forth into one of the most important courses of this new University. Prof. Pence has the valuable services at his command of a very able assistant, Prof. W. S. Webb, an alumnus of the University. A new building is being planned, one-half of which will be occupied by the Department of Physics. It is expected that the new quarters will be ready for occupancy by the latter part of this fall. With this department properly equipped for instruction in the Science of Physics, the work will then be commensurate with University requirements, and will be on a. par with the work done in the larger institutions of learning in this country. All of the students who take an undergraduate course that leads to a degree are required to take a course in physics. This course covers a period, varying from one to three years. The student acquires at the same time both a theoretical and practical working knowledge of Physics, as the theoretical and experi- mental work are carried on simultaneously. The instruction in elementary, theoretical Physics is mainly by the use of the text- book and recitation, the subject matter being fully illustrated by characteristic experiments. As this work advances it is supple- mented more and more by lectu .res. Those who take Physics as their major study, carry on both theoretical and experimental work during the last three years of their course. And for graduation they are required to submit an acceptable thesis on some selected subject in Physics. PHYSICAL LABORATORY MERRY LEWIS PENCE. M. S. William Snyder Webb, M. S. B. S., 1901, and M.

When I was born, T had a pallete in my mouth, a sign of an artistic temperament which would some day command the respect of all of those who can comprehend true art. One dreamy day, as the wind blew over the ripening Blue Grass, I blew to S. U. My education has been extensive; spending time enough at the University of Tennessee to incur the dislike of the faculty, and the general hatred of the entire school body on ac- count of my good looks. By burning enough of the ten-cent product of the Standard Oil Co., I re- ceived a degree of B. Lit., which was very gratifying to all. God only knows of my love for the ladies. NTO this dell the sound of the hammer, the tramp of the soldiers and the noise of the chemical explosion do not penetrate. The roar of the world with its hollow mockery becomes a faint echo. Here the only noise is the ripple of the Pierian spring as it murmurs down the valley whose ways are ways of pleasantness and all whose paths are peace. Flowers of great beauty abound, and the tree of knowledge, which grows here, is laden with rich fruit. In this ideal valley a band of members of the class of 1908 have wandered for four years (more or less). During that time they have explored many recesses of this wondrous vale under learned guides who were well versed in the lore of the place. A curious title has been applied to these guides, that of professor, and by these presents shall ye know them. Back to the realm of Paleolithic man, we wander with Prof. MacKonzie. Here, in the cup-markings of that prehistoric period, lie reads for us the strivings of those primitive beings to express their emotions. Down a vista of infinite length we look with Prof. Miller, who shows us our planet in its nebula state, and how from this it has evolved. Despairing, even though under so worthy a guide, of determining the origin of life, we content ourselves with watching its progress and development until the crowning work of evolution is reached in man. And now must we pursue not only a recitation of their won- derful deeds and achievements but even must we hear and make ourselves conversant with them in their own language, be it San- scrit, Greek or Latin. And so the most ancient of our guides, affectionately termed “Old Jack,” has taken us back to the Italia (E-tol-e-ar) of the past where we watched the wanderings of Aeneus and the campaigns of Caesar, or listened to the orations of Cicero, the odes of Horace, or the satires of Juvenal. Prof. Zembrod introduces us to the illustrious heroes of the German glades. Here we converse with Schiller and Gcethe, suf- fer anew with William Tell or feel the icy touch of the “Bri- bing ” as we ride on through the misty forest. He also arranges delightful tete-a-tetes with Hugo, Racine, and Moliere and we chatter French until the fumes of the absynthe make us cease, and we float Lethe-ward in the delightful restfulness of perfect oblivion. Nor do we cease our pursuit of knowledge when the shades of evening fall upon our valley. Then do we spend our time studying the language of the moon and stars which Prof. White expounds for us, or we discuss among ourselves matters of mo- ment, or dip into Logic, Metaphysics, or Moral Philosophy. Now that the allotted time for our wandering draws to a close, we realize, and with a feeling of deepest regret, that we must leave our happy valley. Nevertheless, having drunk deep at the Pierian spring we shall go forth into the world with both mind and heart stored with treasures far greater than those of King Midas. C. R. MELCHER, A. M., LL.

I really don’t know just how to begin to write about myself, nor just what to say, for everybody knows I am such an important piece of University furniture. Since I have been here I have never done anything nor said anything that would attract the least attention from anyone.

I guess this is really all I’ve done, which you see is very, very, very little for one person, unless you might call capturing Tom Bryant’s heart some little thing, considering the fact that he is the most popular man in the Senior Class.

The world is spin- ning forever down the ringing grooves of change. State College has lately bloomed into “State University.” The Normal De- partment is now the Department of Educa- tion. The sub-freshman school grew so rapidly under the leadership of Prof. Mil- ford White, that it was necessary last year to erect a building solely for Normal work. So many students have recently been enter ing the educational courses in the college, that it has been thought best to let the State Normals do the elementary work hereafter and devote all the energies and resources of this department to work of collegiate rank. The courses of study have, therefore, been expanded, and the department is now prepared to lit stu- dents for high school, college and university positions. The courses outside of the special work pertaining to education offers many electives in the other departments of the University, and are among the most attractive courses to be found in any univer- sity curriculum. Education, properly considered, is not preparation for life; it is life. Nor is the school-room any longer a gloomy prison; but a home where there is free and loving intercourse between teacher and student, just as at the domestic fireside between parent and child. Material development is responsible for many of the comforts of modern school life; but there has been a progress of ideas as well. Recently one of the teachers in this department was telling, not of Marathon and Leuctra exactly, but of one of those good old country schools that our forefathers used to know so well. He had, perhaps, colored the picture of the 'prison and turn-key a little highly, lie was emphasizing the difference between the discipline of former years when the “rod of Solomon” played the chief role and the moral suasion of these happy times, showing in eloquent language the perfect control of the modern pedagogue through the radiation of love from his altruistic heart. The children, he declared, are under perfect control and have profound respect for their teacher these latter years. And yet, he maintained, the teacher is wholly lov- ing and kind. Tn the midst of his eloquent rhapsody, when his eyes were 60 turned heavenward as though .for a manifestation of divine, approval, two of these modern saints slipped behind him and began to record their impressions of former times on the black- board just back of the teacher’s desk. One was an artist; the other, a poet. When the teacher came back from his long flight and once more drew the breath of reality, he turned to take his seat, wearing the air of one who has filched fresh coals from the altar of Jove. His eyes rested for a moment on the work of the geniuses, and then the coals began to glow on the teacher’s face. The School of Skinny Have you never heard the story of the good old country school, With its rude split-bottomed benches and its aneient dunce’s stool? Where Webster’s Blue-back Speller was the only standard text, And supplied the place of grammar that our late forefathers vexed; Where they never heard of Latin or the Greek subjunctive mood But sang their mu It’plication like a patriotic ode. The master he was skinny with a lean and hungry look, And a countenance as placid as a frozen winter brook; And his brow was broad and Grecian, and his eye was snell and keen, And his head was stuffed with knowledge of a dozen books, I ween; And they say his nose was Roman as the bill of any hawk, And his boys were all perfection, for they had to walk the chalk. But still I’ve often wondered if they really always walked, And sat upright like statues, and never laughed or talked; For I have heard my father say the model of school Got licked at least three times a day as a pretty general rule, And lament the good old method as a lost forgotten art Of imparting knowledge in a way that made a fellow smart I wish we had the secret of making boys ioalk, Instead of always watching for a chance to throw some chalk; But the art, I think, was buried with the blue-back spelling book, And the piercing eye of Skinny that no mortal boy could brook; ’Twas buried with the benches and the ancient dunce’s stool, And the grease-glazed paper windows of the good old country school. Perhaps that Pestalozzi, Froebel and John Herbart Have robbed the wand of Skinny of its pedagogic art! We’ll not discuss philosophy, but we know about the chalk That no theoretic dream of man can make a boy walk. Nottoceon. 61 SKINNY JAMES THOMAS COTTON NOE, A. B., A. M. A. B., 1887, A.

It was in the early spring, when the opening flowers in their eagerness to burst the bonds that held them captive during the long months of winter seemed to indicate the happy release of our beloved teacher from his earthly bonds; when the clear and cloud- less sky opened as it were to the vision of the bereaved ones the limitless route from time to eternity, when the king of day, as he pursues his majestic course through the heavens, causing the heart of man to rejoice at the ushering in of the advent of another seed-time and harvest, reminded us of the advent of our lamented friend into the better world beyond the grave; when the exultant carols of the feathered songsters on their return to their haunts of former years were symbolic of the songs which greeted him on his entry into the heme of the blessed and when all nature seemed to have put on her richest garniture and to be singing the songs of resurrection arid immortality. On last commencement day he mingled with us apparently in good health and in the prime of life. That restless brain, that noble and true heart, that generous open hand which knew so well the force and power of friendship’s grasp, that familiar voice at- tuned to the notes of truth and love, to which we all loved so well to listen—these have all passed away, never to return again. Prof. White was remarkable for the simplicity of his nature, For the breadth of his mind, and for the acumen of his intellect. Those who analyze the nature and charm of simplicity in a great mind are surprised to find the secret of both in the fact that sim- plicity allied with greatness works its marvel with a sweet uncon- sciousness of its own superior excellence. It was in this sense that the simplicity of Prof. White’s nature expressed itself in acts of goodness with a spontaneity which hid from himself the tran- scendent virtue and dignity of the work he was doing and hence all his work was done without the slightest taint of vanity. A sense of rectitude' presided over all his thoughts and acts. He had so trained his mind to right-thinking, right-feeling and right doing that this rectitude became a part of his intellectual, moral and religious nature. Deeply impressed with the truth of his convictions he sup- ported them with an earnestness born of sincerity and with a power that sprung from large natural ability disciplined by severe training. His mind was the crystal depths of a great, pure lake, and his character pure without a blemish. How grand it is that God now and then builds up a pure and noble man! As his soul enters upon its new career in the regions of immortality, so does the influence which he left behind him in the State University move forward each day to the new developments of glory and power. Calmly he sleeps beneath the soil of his native State whose educational status was made better because he lived and taught and wrought. Wreaths will fade and wither on his tomb, peren- nial flowers will blossom and decay, time will level the well-round- ed mound where he sleeps, monuments will rust and granite will crumble, but his deeds are enduring and his name imperishable. A. C. F. N the Agricultural De- partment, we find almost an embodiment of all the other departments of a modern university. This seems to be a broad assertion, but it is lit- erally true. The studies of the thorough, agricultural student will necessarily em- brace a considerable portion of the instruc- tion given in the departments of Chemis- try, Physics. Botany, Geology, Classics, and some engineering. No modern farmer, and much less a scientific agriculturist, can hope to compete with the problems that confront him, with- out a thorough understanding of the gaso- line engine, electric motor, the ordinary farm machinery and very probably the steam engine. The best practical training of the Classical Depart- ment is an every-day requirement of the modern agriculturist. The graduates from our agricultural colleges, when applying for positions with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, are exam- ined on practical literary ability with a scrutiny scarcely less severe than that with which they are examined on distinctly agricultural subjects. Before the young man has been in the Agricultural service long, he begins to write bulletins that are to be read by millions of people all over the United States, and also in foreign countries. The relation of the agriculturist to the sciences is more generally understood. In every phase of his work, his knowledge of two or more sciences is often called upon simultaneously. For example, let us take his investigation of a soil. Here he is at once required to show both a theoretical and a practical knowl- edge of Chemistry and Physics, and in a secondary, but no less important way the effect of the existing chemical and physical conditions upon a plant. Thus is his knowledge of Botany at once called for. Nor is this to be an elementary knowledge, for he is required to have ah accurate knowledge of Plant Physiology which is an advanced botanical study even in the largest Uni- versities. Let us take the subject of Botany as an example of the thoroughness with which work is done in the Agriculture De- partment. In the Freshman year, the student takes a rather elementary course in Botany. In the Sophomore year lie is promoted to the study of General Botany, and then for the first time he gets a clear conception of the plant world, and the rela- tion that the various parts bear to each other. He is taught to use the compound microscope with which to observe cell struc- tures, breathing pores, and other minute details of formation that had hitherto been only book stories to him. From this he passes into a study of Systematic Botany. After this, he is given a thorough training in Plant Histology, where he takes up an advanced study of microscopic structures. To do this he must learn to prepare materials for the microscope, an elaborate process often extending over several days and involving a con- siderable practical knowledge of Chemistry. Having now gained a thorough knowledge of plant struc- tures, the student takes a. course in Economic Botany. Plant Physiology, treating of the living processes of plants, is also studied. Finally, the young Agriculturist studies Plant Pathol- ogy, the diseases of plants. In this study, he often comes in contact with fungus diseases, such as smuts and rusts of wheat. These pests he soon recognizes to be the lowest forms of vegetable life, and remembers having peeped at them through a microscope when he was first learning to use the instrument, years ago. Thus we see that the student is given a broad and compre- hensive view of the plant world. This branch has merely been taken as an example, for meantime he has been doing his full share of work in all the other sciences as well as in classical studies. Subjects pertaining directly to agriculture, such as Soil Physics, Forage Crops, Cereals, Feeds and Feeding, Dairying, Stock Judging, etc., are given careful and exhaustive study. The graduates from this department readily secure excellent positions with the government or elsewhere, but many prefer to take up practical farming, eager to apply the principles that they have learned. With our country filled with farmers trained through a course as described above, we scarcely need fear want, for with these producers at work, our granaries will always be full and as long as that is the case, the country must needs be prosperous. Since our college is located at the capital of the Blue Grass, in the garden spot of the world, it should rank high as a center of scientific agricultural study. We are now assuming the right attitude. We have secured a magnificent new building, which will give opportunity for the proper expansion of the depart- ment. Our Experimental Station ranks high among those of the various states and affords rare advantages to students who wish to study along special lines, at the same time, having the benefit of actual demonstrations and practice.

Why Not?” For, from the his- toric old walls of S. TT the greatest and best class in Civil Engineer.rig goes forth to wage their existence upon life’s highways. The School of Civil Engineering was established in 1887, it being the pioneer among our engineering schools. It has done a great work during its ex- istence, when one considers the handicap under which it has existed. In the past, the proper support has not been given it, hut now that the school has grown to such a size, some notice is being taken by those in control, and its future prom- ises much. Credit belongs to our most worthy Dean, Prof. Walter E. Rowe, who, since his coining to S. U., has used every effort to get the Civils their share of things. He has asked for a home for the School, and the Board of Trustees have secured a gener- ous appropriation for the same. This building, which we wili share with the Department of Physics, will be fitted throughout with the best equipment. No longer will the Freshman have to share his desk with two “Mechanicals;” no longer will the Senior’s dignity be upset by bis efforts to keep the Junior in his place in their joint drawing room; no more will our Dean have to content himself with “furniture painted on the walls,” or walk backward out of his office. And, perhaps, the Transit Staff will have some place to sit down and somewhere to write, other than the window-sill. And Prof. Boggess will reign in peace in the basement of Science Hall, and the Seniors may walk on their heels and sneeze, if they choose, for there will be no dust in the new cement laboratory. One of the greatest advantages of the new building will be the facilities offered by a new and complete Hydraulic labora- tory, where Prof. Rowe can demonstrate his pet theories of irrigation, and practical “incorporation” of hydraulic laws which will save the “Bill Eds” of the future. Prof, Rowe, in his two years with us, has spared no effort in his sincere desire to make the department as good as the best and a little better, and his absolute honesty and good faith in all his dealings have gained the admiration and respect of every one with whom he has come in contact. And moreover, he has gained the sincere friendship of every man in his department by his willingness to give “a lift” wherever needed and his policy of meeting us all on an equal footing. To sum it all up we can best describe the man in student parlance—“He’s White.’’ 72 I And this is no less true throughout the department, for, to his corps of assistants, our Dean owes much. It is with pride that we note the methods employed in the entire course. From the beginning of the Freshman year there is nothing indefinite; not for a moment is the student allowed to lose sight of the objective—to become an educated man, but a good engineer. Tie is not allowed to content himself with theo- retical knowledge; he must be able to bridge the gulf between theory and practice, which is so characteristic of engineering problems. His bridge design is not a matter of stresses and deciphering a Carnegie Table; he must satisfy himself that his bridge will carry a train, and allow for unfavorable conditions. IIis railroad survey is not a matter of figuring curves and grades; lie must put them to practical application—he must 7«'.now what to use for any conditions to be met, and we believe we take a justifiable pride in the fact that the man who can pass his Junior year can handle a Residency on any Railroad. Another valuable feature of the School of Civil Engineering is the Brook’s Engineering Society, which affords fortnightly opportunities for the discussion of interesting engineering prob- lems. And the lectures by foreign engineers, discussions, and papers by the members form no mean part of the Engineer’s education, serving, as it does, to bring him in closer contact with the practical problems of modern engineering. Under the auspices of this society is published the “Transit.” which is issued monthly to the University at large. And while it deals with topics of interest to the Civils, yet, mak- ing no pretentions of being a scientific magazine or history of Kentucky, it endeavors to fulfill its mission as a college paper, and we believe that it is appreciated as such. When we have finished, let us not lose sight of the standard we have followed while here. Let us learn well the object of our coming, and, on leaving, demonstrate its practicability; for we know full well that if we can but keep in the way pointed out to us here, we cannot fail to do credit to ourselves and bestow the honor upon whom honor is due, our Alma Mater.

These distressing symp- toms prove unconclusively that I have some weakness of the cardiac organs, the trouble being deep- seated and of long standing, and even the change to Lexington air and maidens has not removed the cause of the affection.

Here one is taught in close connection with the other. In 1904 Prof. A. M. Wilson took charge of the Electrical Department. In less than four years he has greatly enlarged the work, both practical and theoretical. And while the equip- ment (due to lack of finances) is not what an institution of our size and growth would seem to merit, such good use has been made of that at hand, together with some new additions, that a graduate from our department attains a good practical and the- oretical knowledge of Electrical Engineering, enough to enable him to pursue this line of work, as quite a number of them do. A sketch of the department would be very incomplete with- out mention of its instructors and assistants, most of whom re- ceived their training here. Mr. Joseph Dicker, affectionately known as “Joe” by all of the students in Mechanical Engineering who have passed through the Sophomore year, is perhaps the most important element connected with the growth of the shop work of the de- partment. Mr. Dicker has been connected with the University since the establishment of the technical course. He helped lay out the present buildings and set with his own hands the first piece of machinery installed in the department. No one has had more to do with the moulding of the character of State Col- lege men than has “Joe.” He is a rigid disciplinarian, requiring men at all times to do their duty, but ever ready to enter enthu- siastically into the general scheme of student life, and always willing to lend a helping hand to young men in trouble or dis- tress. Whenever an old student returns to the campus he thinks at once of having the pleasure of seeing his dear old friend “Joe” Dicker. Mr. L. E. NoU.au, who graduated in 1904, is instructor of the Seniors in drawing and photography, while Mr. L. L. Lewis of the class of 1907 has charge of the wood shop and Freshman drawing. Mr. C. E. Schoene, also of the class of 1907, is an instructor in the Electrical department and has charge of all the Junior and Senior experimental laboratory work in Electricity. The power and machinery of the department is ably handled by the assistants, Mr. Gordon Thurman, Mr. George Howard, and Mr. Jack Dicker, the last mentioned having recently come over to us from England with his uncle, Mr. Joe Dicker. The course of study consists of four years, and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering. The time from the beginning of the Freshman year until graduation is taken up with profitable work. In the Freshman year the student has, in connection with his studies, lessons in mechanical drawing and afternoon work in the wood shop. The manual training is to teach the student to employ his time to advantage, while the work done is such • as to give him a view of practical pattern making. The afternoons of the Sophomore year are taken up in the forge and machine shops, while Metallurgy, Analytical and De- scriptive Geometry, Elementary Design—followed by an intro- duction to Calculus—are taught in the class room. As a Junior, his time is spent on Kinematics, Mechanics and Electricity in the first and second terms, with problems in Kinematics to be worked out on the drawing board in the after- noons. The third term is mostly devoted to Electrical Laboratory work, and Machine and Electrical Design. No subject in the Mechanical Engineer’s training is more important than machine design. This work is in charge of Prof. L. K. Frankel, who gives a course unexcelled in any American Technical School. Prof. Prankel’s personal interest and loyalty to students is unquestioned, and he is ever ready to use his talent and energy for the betterment of all, students who come in con- tact with him. At last the student is what he has long waited and worked for—A SENIOR. But now he finds his work just begun. In the class room in the Electrical department, he is plunged into the mysteries of Steinmetz. In the Mechanical department he has Steam Engine and Valve Gears. One afternoon each week is devoted to Electrical Laboratory work and one to experi- mental work in the Steam Laboratory; while the rest are spent on problems in Valve Gear design in the drawing room. Satur- day, morning is given to Electrical design. The second term’s work is a continuation of the first term. The third term is devoted entirety to thesis work. A list of subjects is given out by the department from which each student may make his selection, or take up some other work in which he may be particularly interested. Probably the most delightful, as well as interesting and instructive occasions in the course are the inspection trips taken each year by the Junior and Senior classes. The Juniors visit the principal machine shops in Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, while the Seniors go to Chicago, this year stopping at Lafayette, Indiana, where Purdue University, whose laboratory equipment is surpassed by none in the country, is visited. These trips are usually of great benefit to the student, affording him perhaps his first view of the great field of his chosen profession. The people of our state have been slow to see and appreciate the value of a technical institution of learning and the financial support in the past has not been as deserved; but during the last four years there has been a gradual awakening of the fact that they have been very unmindful of our needs. Now that they have learned from experience that the graduates of our technical schools can successfully cope with those of other insti- tutions, of which they hear so much, the outlook for the depart- ment is most promising. Nothing that we could say would mean more than this: ‘'Here’s to the Mechanical and Electrical De- papment; may her future be even more glorious than her past.” ; - I ALHIiRT 87 91 JAMES FRANK BATTAILE, Lexington, Ky.

') I am going into the lemonade business after graduation because there 1 cau Squees (h)er. 107 Survey, was then appointed its Dean, and under his careful supervision the school has grown until it is now second to no other department in the University in regards to instruction and equipment. Too much can not be said here of our most eminent Dean, Hon. C. J. Norwood. Here is a “MAN who treats his students as MEN and not as “infidels or “curs. Pie has the interest of his contemporaries at heart, and in times of trouble, his best advice is at your service. His assistant, Prof. IT. D. Easton, is a first class, practical, mining engineer, having been a graduate of the Penn. State School of Mines and Chief Engineer of the Rock Island Coal Co., Deering Coal Co., and the Consolidated Coal Co. His efforts to give his students a square deal are greatly appreciated by them. And although a recent benedict, he is still “one of the boys.” When we stop and consider the vast mineral wealth of Ken- tucky; the rapid development which is now going on, and the urgent demand for trained men, it would be odd if success were not evident from the start. Should it be necessary for this demand to be supplied by men from foreign schools? There can be but one answer to this query, and this answer is an unanswerable question; why should it be when within our own domains we possess a school that is equal to any? Starting with one class room in the Science Hall, an assay laboratory in the basement, and with scarcely any equipment, the department has taken strides too numerous to mention until now it occupies a lecture room, drawing and reading rooms, to- gether with a new and well furnished laboratory. The School of Mines and the Kentucky Geological Survey both occupy the new building, and in this way the advantage that each has, at once manifests itself. The new laboratory is a two-story brick building 40 feet by 80 feet. The first floor was left into one large room. Start- ing at one end we find a Crusher, Roller, Stamp-Mill, Jig, Screens, and a Wilfley Concentrating Table, in the order in which they would be found in any well equipped mill. On the second floor are two departments, one the Assay and Metallur- gical Laboratory; the other, the Analytical Laboratory. In the former we find coke, gasoline and gas furnaces for assaying. The student has therefore ample opportunity to work with the various fuel furnaces, crushing, grinding and sampling ap- paratus. An Abbe “Double Trojan Ball Mill, to illustrate the barrel chlorination of gold ores, and also apparatus for study- ing the Cyanide and Amalgamation processes are also at the command of the student. Among the many other pieces of apparatus are a Vezin Jig, Muni’oe Slime Table, Ding’s Electro- Magnetic Separator, Blake-Morcher Electrostatic Separating Ma- chine, Campbell Coal Washer, Complete Fan and Fan House, Braun Kiln, Etc., thus showing a well equipped laboratory both for the undergraduate and research work in the post-graduate course. To the youth who, on beholding the wealth of his native state, and desires to partake in its development, and who thus wisely knocks on the Freshman doors, we extend a hearty wel- come. If he succeeds in percolating through this School of Mines, and has done it honestly, he either has the patience of an angel or a large vocabulary of cuss words. Should he be found proficient enough to claim his “sheep- skin at the end of four years, after satisfying “Jimmie that he knows more mathematics than Euclid; Peter Pence, that a man can’t lift himself by his boot-straps; Dope, that electricity is a dream; Maxsom and Tuttle, that chemistry is not what it used to be, he deserves to be congratulated and the old adage, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, applies to him with manifold meaning. 112 CHARI.ES J.

Downing, both Seniors, were appointed Majors and assigned to the First and Second battalions, respectively. The band, under the able instruction of Prof. Trost, has given a fine account of itself. The band’s debut was made at the K. S. C.-C. U. football game. During the parade in Frankfort such excellent music was rendered that marching organizations in front of and behind our band, stepped to the time of the K. S. C. band instead of their own. With so many young men in the band this year, the prospects for an excellent one next year are very promising. The Board of Trustees, at their December meeting, decided that members of the Junior class would be required to drill, com- mencing September, 1908. Examinations in military subjects will be held at the close of the last term, to determine the fitness of non-commissioned officers for appointments as commissioned officers for the ensuing year. These examinations will be both theoretical and practical. The new commandant, P. W. Corbusier, first lieutenant, 14th Cavalry, son of Colonel W. H. Corbusier, U. S. Army, was born in San Francisco, Cal., on July the 4th, 1876. He entered the army in 1898, joined the Fourth U. S. Cavalry, then en route to Manila, P. I. He served during the Spanish-American war, and afterward through the Philippine insurrection, from Febru- ary 4, 1899, to 1902. He returned to the United States in 1902, a first lieutenant of the 14th Cavalry, having received his promotion to that grade on February 2, 1901. He served in the United States until August, 1903, when he again went to the Philippines and took part in the hostile operations against the fanatical Moros on the Islands of Mindanao and Jolo, until he again sailed for the United States in 1905. Before his detail on his present duties, he was stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco, located on the shores of San Fran- cisco Bay.

HE morning of November 23, 1907, dawned bright and clear, with just enough crispness in the air to make one brace up and take note of the beauty of such a day. Many of the trees had shed their leaves and these fallen bits of organisms could be heard to softly whisper “good-night” to the gentle breeze as it rustled onward-bound on its mission. The blades of grass could be seen lazily nodding to one another as human be- ings do before making a departure. The birds, those that yet re- mained, seemed to be holding mass meetings—or probably they were packing their belongings. But, above all this beauty and enchantment, there seemed to be a—what.' A mystery? Yes! No! Worse still, it seemed as though a shadow still lurked in the daylight; that old “Sol” upon awakening had failed to drive all of‘the night away. Oh, here it is! “The Great Senior-Junior Football Game! ” The junior warriors came on the field of battle amid tre- mendous cheering. The senior knights sturdily appeared amid terrific yelling. “Play Ball. It’son! Rah ! Rah! Rah! Seniors! Good work. Juniors!” Surging and seething, whirling and rolling, scrambling and shoving—the game goes on. Now the seniors gain, now the jun- iors rush the pigskin for a yard or two. The seniors kick, the ball is blocked by a junior, it rolls back over the line—-a man falls on it—a senior: a junior falls on him—a safety. Seniors, U; Juniors, 0. All through the rest of the first half and all of the second the ball stayed near the center of the field, subject to center rushes, off-tackle bucks, forward passes, punts and criss-crosses. The seniors showed a superiority in advancing the ball, but the punting of the juniors saved their goal line from being crossed. The final score was: Seniors, 0; Juniors, 0. Senior-Faculty Basket Ball Game EFORE the largest crowd ever seen packed and jammed in our gymnasium the greatest game of the season was “pulled off ”—The Faculty- Senior Basketball Game. Perhaps we would be more correct in our statement if we said Senior-Instructor instead of Faculty-Senior, for, like that which is not. the Faculty was sparsely represented. But, however that may be, it was as hot as -------a bake-oven from start to finish. That poor old ball was thrown in so many different direc- tions—but one direction was the same as another to the ball, for it was round. The floor with all passible humanity creaked and groaned from the weight of the mighty men—but it was built for larger. The game was similar to all others—a toss-up, several passes, a run, a leap, a stride, and—“a goal.” The score at the end of the first half was: Faculty (instructors), 7: Seniors, 4. The second half was more furious than the first, and the seniors, relying on their wind, expected to pull up at this stage, but it was noticeable that during the intermission the faculty used the basketball pump. It may be said, incidentally, that the score rolled up by the faculty was in part due to the rotundity of one of their guards. Time of Halves—20 minutes. Final Score—Faculty, 22; Seniors, 11. 131 K ■ I HATTIE E. BOYD, Secretary. History of the Class of ’08 HE greatest and most important deeds having been accomplished by the class of ’08, from sheer modesty have been until recently kept a most profound secret. Now, as the day has approached which turns us out among men, to be and act as men—we think it our duty to put before the world the wonderful feats per- formed by those of ’08. . It may seem strange to some older heads, that such as we—young, innocent and unenlightened— r„uld have accomplished such wonders, but, nevertheless, all herein contained is the quintessence of truthfulness. Not wish- ing to place ourselves on a pedestal undeserved, yet desiring to make our full worth known—is this history written. With feelings of mirth did we, in September of '04, ap- proach this wonderful Old State College—this mirth existed only in be replaced by the stern seriousness of all that confronted us. Knowing the value and significance of a leader in the nation, did we put our heads together and sanction the election of “Teddy R.” This, with many other trivial instances, among which only may be mentioned the voluntary departure of Mr. Ncwberger from Boston Tech, constitute the embryo of our subsequent achievements. Crowned with the untold success tendered by the world for our never-to-be-forgotten St. Louis Exposition, we entered upon our sophomore year, only to be staggered by the entrance of Mr. Grannis into the Civil Department. Among the minor disasters we place the California earthquake, caused by Willie Rodes’ false calculations in the proportions needed for the making of TLO. The one redeeming feature of our sophomore year exists in the successful attempt of President T. R. B., assisted by President T. R., in bringing about the long looked for peace between Japan and Russia. As juniors we bravely met the question as to the advisability of the union brought about by the marriage of “Alice Rossie’ and “Nick Longworth.” This matter caused us no little worry, but after lengthy deliberation and due consideration, we arrived at the conclusion that the nation would profit thereby, so our consent was granted. Rejoicing over the happy union, we were doomed to be thrown into the deepest gloom by the untimely de- parture of poor “Bones” Oldham. Before leaving college a tribunal was called to sit and act as judge upon a matter commonly known by the term “graft. The meeting lasted for several months, and on the testimony given by J. D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil Company was fined .$29,600,0(10. This fine did not emanate from envy of their earn- ings, but because we did so heartily loath and despise the mere thought of faking and lowly dishonor. Closing this year we re- ceived a staggering blow by the refusal of the college authorities to accept a gift of $75,000 from the class, to endow a colored, scholarship. 135 Beginning our senior year, we exhibited marked discretion by allowing all of our money to be sewed up in a poker game in the senior drawing room. It is thought by the public that J. Pierpont Morgan saved the country from a financial disgrace— this is false, as McCorkle, by his indiscriminate borrowings and his willingness to I. 0. U., caused such conservative men as Smiley, Smith and Samuel to join hands and thank Clod that theirs was the power to throw the necessary ready cash on the market. The world at large lay at the feet of many an innocent soul, the foundation of the ecpiity association and the following visits of the night riders—we do not wish that the innocent should suf- fer, so we state that we are the sole founders and participants in the so-called “Tobacco Barn-Burning Outrages.” James Waldorf Astor, having read the menu used at the “Absent Anderson Party,” wrote back and thanked us for the idea, and has since used it vdien entertaining royalty. ' UNIFORM RANK KNIGHTS OF THE BOTTLE We again hold in our hands the fate of the ensuing presi- dential election in the United States—we have decided, but the time is not yet ripe for the announcement. We now turn with sadness to the closing scenes of this most memorable class—in the many things we may have done, we may have erred; still we do not wish to be censured, as we have done our best. Right or wrong, wet or dry, we are still willing to attempt far greater things, even though they involve the rise or fall of kings. We say good-night, and the curtain falls on the greatest epoch of modern or any time drowsiness gradually creeps over us all and we fall asleep, only to be awakened on the morrow by the existing truths of life. We have stood one test, which is but the beginning, and we are now ready to assume the responsibilities according to our several abilities—whether w succeed or fail, may it all rest as lightly upon our shoulders as have the weighty matters of the last four years. 136 Houtge ibtetnert J ecrologp m. %).

ANY years ago in the dark days of 1903 a vague uneasiness manifested itself in the minds (at that time in a very rudimentary stage of de- velopment) of several youths who were par- ticipating in the joys and delights of a High School training. This uneasiness, together with the dignity conferred by recently ac- quired long trousers, so worked upon these youths that noth- ing but college could satisfy the inane desire, and as a result we behold several youngsters treading their way fearfully through State’s classic halls to Walter K. s office. “Hra! Uh! Young gentlemen, I will examine you for the first preparatory. 1-Irn! Uh! Have you studied physical geog- raphy?” And thus lowly began the life of ’09 as an important factor at S. II. Vague rumors have come to us that Darwin enunciated a theory of evolution, and. in accordance with this theory we in- creased and developed through two dreary years of “prephood,” gaining in strength, intellect and numbers, until one fine morn- ing in September, 1905, the prep—parent creature—suddenly, and contrary to all Darwinian laws, attained a sudden develop- ment; the class of '09 made its appearance, full-grown, green and skitt ish. PRESUMAN, FRIGHTS AND FROLICS. Several days elapsed: we began to open our eyas and shake ourselves in order to fully appreciate the beauty of the world into which we had so suddenly appeared. Every man in the class, after one look at the haughty juniors and dignified seniors, went-to his room and rolled up his trousers a few times and donned loud socks. And as to our fair sisters, a glorious cam- paign of love, fudge and pickles was opened to them. We learned all about fizzing, faking, flunking,1 cutting, and, last, but not least, a quiz. We learned all about the importance of literature and how to write essays about “Why I Came to Col- lege” and “My First Lover,” and other like interesting topics: how to dance the Irish “lilt,” how to paint ’09 on buildings, how to plug up keyholes and saw off chair legs: only “Dutch' Eifort forgot and sat down on one of them, thereby causing soim' little excitement. But we must not dwell on such things, as hard facts must be related as well as the more delightful ones. On the mornin after Halloween about half of us went over and played with th sophomores, presenting them with a large package of “fruit of the Citrus family.” Be that as it may, we played too rough, because one or tv of our playmates carried souvenirs around for a week or so. Matters were evened up at football, but strive as they would. they could not equal our beautiful blue and gold armbands! Nor were our achievements limited to class affairs; we had large number of men on the football squad, and the champion all around gymnast was a man from ’09. We were well represented on the track and in basketball, while, later, several men were oul for the baseball team. Second term passed uneventfully until the last few day- 142 Then Tot Carroll flunked in “Solid,” making the first epoch in class history, ’09 standard. With the third term came baseball, and here again were the sophs victorious, though the score was very close. Nothing else of importance happened until the end of the term, when exam- inations fell upon us as a hawk falls upon a flock of birds. Ah! Blissful moments. We still sigh to think of them. About this time Tot flunked again in “Solid” and this was the last event of importance during the year. Our dignity took a sudden rise, and presently, when we recovered from the shock, we found that the remnant of the gallant band had evolved to sophomores and the joys of freshman days were but a sweet memory. CHAPTER IT. SOPHOMORE, SUCCESSES AND SOPHISTRIES. Autumn came but too quickly, and ’09 came together, a meeting as of brothers. Our ranks were sadly depleted, owing to the ravages of Physics, Trig, and Solid. But at this time num- bers of youths, foreseeing great possibilities in S. U., decided to honor it with their presence, and ’09 was the only class that looked good to them. The old and the new joined in facing the terrors of Analytics—and then—Chemistry! ! ! Alas, it was disastrous for us. What says the song, “Listen, listen, echoes sound afar!” Nearly every day soft echoes from the lower floor of the Chemistry building could be heard at Mechanical Hall as some unfortunate was mildly asked, “Formula?” No hope, no rest, no nothing! But, being made of pretty good ma- terial, we managed to pull through. Halloween brought developments of rather unusual char- acter: a member of ’09 was actually imprisoned for a day or so, and most of the others were arraigned as witnesses. For once we didn’t know anything, so our black sheep was returned to the fold. Shortly before, we had defeated ’10 in the class rush, largely through the daring of Worthington, although he was well supported by the remainder of the class. Football season proved equally successful and ’10 was again defeated. And now, gentle reader, prepare to weep, for the sad part of my tale approaches. Love, divine love, added its ravages to the havoc already wrought. Many a promising youth fell victim to the—shall I say arts or graces—of some fair Patterson Hall damsel, while, on the other hand, many a bewitching maid was captivated by the charms of Yankey’s winning ways. Calculus made its appearance, and the acquaintance thus formed was by no means the most pleasant. ’Twas indeed a sorrowful term, and Tot again fizzed in Solid, and the first epoch of sophomore his- tory was ended. Meanwhile ’09 had covered herself with glory in athletics: this was indeed our banner year thus far. We were represented on the varsity football and baseball teams and on the gym. team, and, in addition, we had some ten men on the track team. Nor were our achievements solely athletic; we had orators as well as athletes. Moore was the winning speaker on the debating team, and we boast of other speakers and of students of no mean ability. But were we to continue in enumerating the virtues of ’09, we would be accused of gross egotism, so let us summarize the re- mainder in a few words: ’10 was easily defeated in baseball, and after this came exams. These did not affect us to any great extent, and after Tot took his next “Solid exam” we parted with mutual good-fellow- ship for the summer. 143 CHAPTER III. JUNIORS, JOYS AND JOLLITIES. In September, 1907, we came together, browned and hard- ened after the summer’s work and fairly brimming with experi- ence. A strange new feeling of responsibility and approaching manhood had taken possession of us, and, for the first time, the importance of life became manifest;.it seemed to dawn upon us that work was our portion henceforth, and our dear instructors (Prof. Wilson, Dr. Maxon, etc.) aided us in the realization. We entered upon junior life with due formality, the members of the class expressing their sentiments according to their own peculiar fashion. After the new blue uniforms had been duly “bucked” and admired, ’0!) settled down to overcome its difficulties in the shape of Electricity, Calculus and Anglo-Saxon. Things went smoothly enough until football season was well under way; then classes were cut and many new feminine faces were seen on the field. When the inter-class game came off, ’09 kept up to her old standard, holding the seniors down to a score of 0 to 0. After this came the championship games and then the mo- notony was broken by assisting the seniors in preventing the fresh heads from swelling. This was done by removing super- fluous tonsorial equipment. As for the remainder of the class, well, nearly all of them have profited by their two years of college life. Large numbers are devoting themselves to the terpsicliorean art and undergoing training as society charmers. On the other hand, other mem- bers of the class are already looking out for the future and prac- ticing for their future careers. Kind friends, who have patiently perused thus far, ’09 con- tinues to win honors and fame for, herself in all lines, just as Tot continues to take “Solid” exams. In summing up, let us simply bring to mind that her past has been one glorious chain of victories, with but a trifling defeat or two. Although few in numbers, we can well be proud of those few. With our fellows the finest, our girls the most bewitching, our intentions the best, and our aspirations the highest, may blessings rest upon ’09 and may her banner float proudly, now and forever.

Sophomore History OPIIOMORE I catch my breath as I say it. What a tumult of emotion sweeps over me at the mention of the name! My heart swells with pride and regret—pride as I think of its achievements and regret when I remember that two years of our college life are gone, and although they are bright and successful years in every way, they can never be restored much as we sometimes desire it. Next year I am sure the feeling will be different—while the same in respect to pride and enthusiasm—nevertheless we will be upper classmen, JTJNIORS, and with dignity of position comes dignity of bearing, manner and thought. Never after this year I am sure will we feel that same proud, self-important little thrill that we feel now and have felt for the last two years since start- ing to explore these unknown seas. IIow I do wish I could make you understand just exactly what this class is and realize what i.t is doing. To state the whole thing briefly, this class is, to our thinking, the most brilliant, the most important, the most original and the most daring of all the classes. We do not get all the credit we deserve for our remarkable individuality because the freshmen and juniors, in their own conceit and self-absorption, ignore us, and because of our comparative infancy and their interest in what they consider greater things, we pass beneath the gaze of the dignified seniors unnoticed. Once in a while when we do anything extraordinarily remarkable and force ourselves upon their notice, they bend from their positions and abstractedly re- mark that we are “good children.” Other than this, we must go our own way unencouraged, save for our own consciences unless I might mention the preps, who bow at our feet and wo ship constantly at our shrine in mute adoration. Last year we tried to be very, very lenient and show m: ■ Good Samaritan qualities by allowing the sophomores to v every victory, because we knew that as “freshies” they had n won a single battle, and we knew how awful it would feel to g in as upper classmen with an entirely blank career. But win gratitude did we get for our pains? Here we sacrificed ever contest of skill to them and got no thanks for it. Lo! this y we walked in and quietly but firmly showed our superiority a overcame every obstacle that appeared in our path. In the ini rush, on the gridiron, in baseball and in classes we vanquish every foe. Freshmen are all conceit. They still cling to i fond idea that they are “IT,” but sad to say they are mistake and they themselves are the only ones that ever did think it. “The freshmen saw a patch of green, They thought it was the sophomore class, But when they closer to it drew They found it was a looking-glass.” If we had been they, we surely would not have chosen col that proclaimed to all the world our verdure. I heard an upper classman remark that the sophs had II 150 “big-head.” I don’t think this is quite a just accusation for sev- eral reasons, and if it were, have we not every cause to have the “big-head” if ever a class had? Haven’t we—but why waste time in discussing the matter it was a junior that said it and we all know how jealousy works. To return- to the sophs and their glory. ITow do we stand in the affections of the faculty ? First, of course, as everywhere rise. Leaphart adores us, especially the basketball girls: Prof. White pets us; Zembrod gives us his highest grades, and Dr. Tuttle gives us 11.25, which is more than he does for some other classes. Our colors, black and red, are the most noticeable, the most significant, the most famous and the mast original of any others that adorn State University. So here is our standard: First in classes, first in athletics, first in victories, first in brilliance, and first in the hearts of our professors—the envy of all our classmates. Climb on, sophomore class! We will be the second junior class to adorn the State University of Kentucky, and may our every action be such that when we have gone the other classes coming in the paths we have trod will see our record like a shin- ing star in the heavens and worship it from afar. So let us con- duct ourselves that in after years the aim of every class will be to reach the standard of excellence set by us, “The Class of ’10.” SCIENTIFIC COURSE— Adams, R. W.

Freshman Flistory HO can describe the joys of being a freshman In our sweet and blissful state of ignorance and unconcern, life is lighter and the world seems brighter than ever before. Time has down as in a dream. Although we are well into the third and last term of the year, it seems but only yesterday that we timidly tip- toed into the President’s office and safely passed through the dreaded ordeal of matriculation. During the early part of the year, as soon as we had started on our daily duties, class election was held, and a very efficient set of officers was chosen, and Green and White adopted as the class colors. There had been so far many important and interesting events in the life of this infant class. Eight at the beginning of the year some one started things going by painting black and yellow “11’s” on everything about the campus, including old “Maud.” But, alas; the artist in his awkward carelessness had used the seniors’ characteristic colors and distressing were the results thereof. Suffice it to say, the barbers were generously .patron- ized by the freshmen during the next few days. Our hair had hardly time to grow to a respectable length when the most important event of all, the annual flag rush with the sophs, began to be discussed in somewhat heated terms. After quite a squabble, the conditions of the fight were agreed upon by the two classes and the struggle that ensued will long be re- membered by the participants. The result of the noon-till-dark battle were general!}' conceded to be a victory for us, yet in the face of this sentiment the sophs had the audacity to say that they won. Then came the sophomore-freshman football game, which was not very interesting—we lost. The freshmen were at a con- siderable disadvantage in this game because so many of our men were trying for the varsity eleven. Nevertheless, we put up a good stiff game and were defeated fairly. The cuts and bruises of the flag rush and football game had hardly healed when we suddenly found ourselves face to face with the fiercest foe as yet—the first term exams. The results ? The less said the better. The winter months have been just a little dull. We have reg- ularly attended gym., reveille, chapel and drill, and have tried to be just as good as freshmen can. The freshmen are unusually weak in numbers this year on account of the raised entrance requirements, there being on!;, about one hundred and twenty-five enrolled. We make no id! boast, however, when we say that our excellent qualities more than make up for any lack there may be in quantity. We hav many celebrities—so numerous are they, in fact, that it would simply be folly to begin an individual sketch of each one. In every department the class of 1911 is already making r enviable record for itself. In athletics we are well represented, indeed; five freshmen won “K’s” in football; three were on the gym. team, and from present indications we are going to have a good representation in baseball. In science, the classics and en- gineering our students are exhibiting that trait of “stick-to-it- iveness” which assures them of future success and greatness. 15 S The girls also have been very heroic in the struggles for freshman honors. At the beginning of the year a great deal of excitement was created among the freshman and sophomore girls at Patterson Hall. During the quiet hours of midnight one of the freshmen girls stole quietly out of the attic window on to the roof, and upon the flagstaff hung the never-to-be-forgotten “11” painted in Green and White. When the first ray of light re- vealed to the sophomores that the freshmen were “ahead” as us- ual, they at once attempted to remove the flag. This they ac- complished after a hard fought struggle. However, this was only the beginning of the hardships, for within a few days the girls at the annual flag rush found them- selves upon the campus, cheering their fellow classmen, not only with their voices, but in their hospitable way were supplying the fatigued heroes with refreshments. Had it not been for the girls the outcome of the rush would not have been as it was. for when the sophomores carried the freshmen one by one into the armory and bound them hand and foot, one of our girls secured the key from the janitor and released the prisoners, who again resumed their former positions—defending the flag. The girls have not only rendered valuable service for their class, but have helped to support the university in all its inter- collegiate contests. Being thrice blessed by the gods, they are unsurpassed in intelligence, beauty of character and general at- tractiveness. , For a class so jolly and good-natured, so tried and tested by every vicissitude, so bountifully endowed by nature for use- fulness, we can predict nothing but an illustrious career. We think State University ought to be very, very proud of us as her first freshman class. Oh, what a joy to be a freshman, Oh,, how sweet ’does seem, As on we march to yonder goal, ’Neath colors—white and green. Freshman Roll Adair, Bruce Easterday, Clinton H. Adams, Lois L. Egbert, M.

This they took without the permission of the grow- er; using force if it had to come that way. Many remonstrated against this treatment, but were overpowered by numbers, and for their mall defense got their heads well clipped into various irregu- larities. Word was sent to a freshman named SHORT that his warlock was next to adorn the wigwam of the senior chief. His answer was, however, regarded as an insult to the dignity of the juniors and seniors. More determined than ever to have his scalp, they mustered a force of about forty strong, and led by Leo the Great” met the freshman in front of the main building. They commanded SHORT to lift his hat and quietly submit to the clippers, but SHORT, whose experience in the west had taught him not to get excited, backed into a corner of the build- ing and opened a fierce-looking “bear knife, and there he finally persuaded the fellows that they really didn’t want any more hair. The cutting was then stopped and arrangements be- gun for the annual flag rush, which was expected to be a hot one, for the freshmen were already mad about their shorn locks. The flag rushes of the previous years were unconditional, but it was thought best, owing to the destruction of property, to make an agreement with the officers of the sophomore class to put the flag on a pole in the center of the campus and to have the pole free from grease or nails. The flag was to be defended from 12:30 p. m. to 5 p. in., after which time, if the sophs hadn’t taken it, the victory was to be the freshmen’s. 165 SHORT and COLLINS were chosen to be the leaders of the fight. For many nights they met and discussed various methods of defense, with the result that “Horse Power” Baker with Col- lins and several more freshmen went in search of a telephone pole, which they succeeded in pulling from the sidewalk on a dark, rainy night about 2 a. m. In the meantime SHORT and some more fellows framed the flag of “1911,” which the fresh- men girls had made for the occasion. They also cut a big oil bar- rel to fit the top of the pole and then all went to the campus, and there they erected the queerest looking pole on record. The barrel was fifteen feet from the ground, with the framed flag on top of it, the barrel forming a barrier to the climber of the pole. Next morning the sun rose on the field of battle and all morning the pole stood like a grave sentinel; even the flag did not stir in the breeze. Twelve-thirty at last! The time had come, and a great crowd of spectators watched a hundred brave freshmen protect the pole with their very lives, while over a hundred veteran sophomores came charging down the campus like a herd of stam- peded buffalo. A score of freshmen threw themselves unflinch- ingly under the feet of the coming foe. It broke their charge, and then commenced a hand to hand battle surpassing any weaponless fight in the annals of history. Former friends and roommates were forgotten, the relation- ship of a brother was nothing; professors who had tried to teach the boys were ruthlessly thrust aside from the field of battle in order that more shirts might be torn from the bloody backs of the antagonists. The freshmen girls walked among the fallen bodies and gave cold Avater and fruit to the tired and hungry heroes. The sophomore girls did likewise to their braves, and it was not an uncommon thing to hear an argument which almost led to a fray between the two classes of girls. At the end of two hours the sophs withdrew for a council of war and then returned in squads of six or eight, and, one by one, carried off the kicking freshman boys. The rest could not go in relief of their comrades for fear of leaving their flag unpro- tected. While the agreement stated that no one was to be alloAved on the pole, the freshmen saw that it meant defeat to let the course of battle continue, and inasmuch as the sophomores had already broken the agreement in using a building for the fight, the freshmen put SHORT on top of the pole just before the last few of them were tied hand and foot and locked in the armory. The sophs asked the MAN to come down and bring the flag with him, but the valiant westerner flatly refused to do so. A soph Avas then “boosted” up to take the flag, but he had not reckoned on the strength of the MAN on the top of the pole. An axe was then brought and several chips taken from the si of the pole. SHORT Avas again asked to come down, and again he courageously refused. The cutting of the pole, which went on A'igorously after SHORT refused the last time, meant serious injury to him when it fell, so when it began to reel he cut the flag out of the frain and prepared to jump, intending to still fight for the “Green and White.” But just before the fatal moment a yell that . heard for miles around pierced the air and in less than tin- seconds a hundred freshmen were upon the sophs, and the flag was saved! The freshmen had given up all hope, for they had been ay: tied and guarded in the armory, but Miss Lilian Ferguson i mysteriously gotten hold of the key to the big building and turned the whole class loose just in time to save the flag. Mn praise is due her prompt action, and Avithout the aid of the gi who provided care and tender nursing to the Avon tided through- out the battle, we would surely have lost. The freshmen In M the flag until 5 o’clock, and then marched down town Avith hero, SHORT, in the lead to show the tattered remnants of flag to the public. Every freshman fought like a man under the brilliant g eralship of SHORT, and there Was not a coward among them. Thus ended the hardest fought battle in the history of t'n university—The more scars, the more glory. Note!—Short had no sears. ASSISTANT EDITORS— Y. E. Muncy I'1. H. Graham G. K. McCorkle G. T.

STONE, ‘08, QUARTERBACK. “Big League.” the quarterback, was always in the game, calling signals in a voice that could be heard for miles around. “Nervy was the fastest man on the team, both on and off. the field. His general head work was good and his pass- ing true'and quick. He was probably the surest forward passer in the South. “Big League” will be greatly missed next year. There is a slight hope enter- tained that he will return next year for a post-graduate course. He is 21 years old. weighs 152 pounds and is 5 feet 8 inches in height. JAMES MORRISON WILSON, ’08, LEFT HALFBACK. Morrie’s ability as a football player is too well known to need a mention of many words. His work in all of the games was characterized by that aggressive spirit which wins in football, lie had a good eye for picking out holes, was sure on his feet, hit the line hard, and always used his “noodle.” The game he put up against C. U. was enough to win the hearts of the followers of the blue and white, as well as that of some fair maiden. Breaking away from a fair tackle by K. TT.’s left end. he made the touchdown which won the game from State’s old rival, and was a fitting end for a good, consistent season’s work, and a fine farewell to football at State University. Wilson is a senior, 22 years of age, 5 feet 3 inches in height and weighs 148 pounds. 182 RALPH B. ROUT, 11, PULLBACK. Rout was a new man in this position. Coming to us with a ‘Vep,” he soon made the team and held his place throughout the season. Rout is the prettiest built man on the squad. Ralph has social ambitions also, and seems to be hitting the line pretty hard around some fair damsel’s heart. With a little more ex- perience Rout should be the terror of the South. Tie weighs 175 pounds, runs under 11 seconds, is 18 years old and is 5 feet 8 inches in height. PETER P. RODES, 11, RIGHT HALFBACK. “Pete” is a dashing, smashing player. He is also the “lady killer” of the team. Many a pretty maiden, as well as many a promising football player, has fallen before our dark-eyed warrior. Pete comes from a family of football play- ers, being a brother of the famous “Boots.” He has three younger brothers who promise to equal the record of the Poes of Princeton or the Blakes of Vander- bilt. Rodes is a hard determined player, fighting every inch of ground from the start to the finish. He is 18 years old, weighs 117 pounds and is 5 feet 8 inches in height. hbhhhi J. HAMILTON PAYNE, RIGHT TACKLE, lie is of Millersburg fame and well deserves it. A little awkward at first, but soon acquainted; himself with the finer points of the game, and at the latter part of the season “Big Ham” opened the largest holes for the team and became a terror on the defense. Payne never, worries whether it rains or whether it snows, and should live to a good old age. He weighs 180 pounds, is 19 years old and 6 feet 2 inches in height. HORACE L. WALKER, ’ll, SUB HALFBACK. “Hock” will deserve watching. He went into the K. IJ. game at the be- ginning of the second half and played like a veteran. He has good weight and speed, and next year, if some one will add a goodly supply of energy, he should outshine the stars in the constellation. “Hock” weighs 160 pounds, is 19 years old and stands 5 feet 9 inches. 186 R. T. STOFER, ’ll, SUB TACKLE. Ile carne out late in the season and showed the making of varsity material from the very start. He took Hendrickson’s place in the K. IT. game after the big man was injured. He played an excellent game and will be heard from next year. GEORGE F. BROCKMAN, ’08, SUB HALFBACK, FULLBACK AND END. “Brock” was ready at any moment to take the place of a regular, lie had four years’ experience at the Louisville Manual Training High School, but his light weight has kept him from a regular position on the varsity. He has been faithful in coming out for practice and we are glad to see him adorned with the well earned “K.” “Brock” is 21 years old. weighs 145 pounds and is 5 feet 8 inches in height. 187 Base Ball Season 1907 HE season of ’07 was a very successful one for State. We had a well balanced team, and should have won the championship by a larg- er percentage than we did. As it was, we lead in the race for the Kentucky champion- ship only by a small margin. “Jeff Elgin was behind the bat, stop- ping everything but his own mouth. Caudill, the “thrower of snakes, alternated with “Speedy” Reed in the box. Stan Bear was on first handling himself like a professional. Captain “Hilly” covered second better than ever before, and little more can be said. “Billy Alden played his usual steady game at short, aiding the gate receipts by his “cute ways, which at tracted the girls. P. Rule held third in the same old way, while Donan covered all of left field. Red Woodward, “Old Patsy.' made sensational stops in center, and Stone in right field hit the ball on the nost. Goldnamer played everywhere and anywher and did it well.

They are Alden, Caudill, Elgin and Stone. The team was late getting down to practice, and the first game caught them unprepared against a veteran bunch from Maryville. The old members worked out nicely. The new men, as was natural, in the first game of the season, went up in the air at a critical moment in the ninth inning, the game ending 3 to 1 in favor of Maryville. Two days later, with the line-up changed, Elgin steadying the infield at first and Stone catching a good game, the team played a ten-inning tie game. Maryville had a bunch of horse shoes along, for State rarely failed to have two men on bases when the weak end of the batting list came up. The infield looks good and will look better with consistent practice. Hillenmeyer, third base, and Giltner, shortstop, 1 new men, are playing a good game. The work of Captain Alden at second base is up to the standard, and Elgin may alw;n - be depended upon. No passed balls, no stolen bases, is Sion - record so far. Caudill in the box will hold the best of teams down to few hits. Kirk, a new man, has done nicely so far, an 1 should have gotten away with the second game. The outfield is weak at present, and all of the places are open. Hunter, 'Wilson. Cook, Creel, Johnson, Kirk. Ellis, Stofer and Robinson are to ini for places. The weak batting of the outfield handicaps li rest of the team. The two games which have been played have indica' 1 pretty clearly that State University will win the State champi ship when the team gets to working in its true form. 194 Walter Fox, forward on the team, will make a name before he graduates. He has been taken ill before the close of the last two seasons, and his absence was immediately felt. “Lengthy” could get more shots at the basket than any- body on the team, and has been known to ruin the reputa- tion of several well-known guards. Shelby Post, the man with the pretty form. Shelby is a good forward, has a sure eye for the basket and the strength to throw off nearly all guards. The girls say lie has the pret- tiest form of any man on the team, and we advise all the hopeful Freshmen to pick “Mr.” Post for their model. Harold H. Downing. ‘ ‘ Twofer ’ ’ had been noted for his ‘ ‘ gym work, his love affairs and studious habits, for many years, but it was not until his Senior year that he became our famous center. His only drawback was his whistle. We hope his wife will “ball” him out for this. Nervy Stone, sub-forward, could be called on at any time to take the place of any player on the team, and could be depended upon to do his best. “Big League” took Fox’s place when the latter was taken ill, and is known among the girls as “the well-built man with the don’t care walk.” 197 (5pm Ceam Gym Team HE season of 1908 sees our Gym team blossom- ing into the pink of childhood, it being only six years old, but even at this early age many have stared; some have marveled; others have stood aghast; and still others have been awe- struck-—all with the deepest sense of admira- tion at the difficult, complex, dare-devil stunts which the team so proficiently executes. The team, with eleven men, is larger than ever before, due to their bearing—morally, mentally and physically—and the esteem which is bestowed upon them by their fellow-students. It is very gratifying to be able to humbly submit their names for inspection. They are: Capt. Shelby Post, T. B. Short, J. S. Oosthwaite, Joe Shelby, William Rodes, Carroll Taylor, Berkley Hedges, Vincent Milligan, E. B. Perrine, A. M. Mathers and P. A. Carlisle. The success of these gymnasts was greatly aided and acceler- ated by the indefatigable coaching of our physical director, Prof. W. W. II. Mustaine. The honor of being manager was bestowed upon Mr. H. H. Downing. The gymnastic museum was opened for inspection on the evening of March 20. On that date was held, on the spacious exercise room of our gymnasium, the Sixth Annual Gymnastic Tournament—the best exhibition of horizontal bar, parallel bars and tumbling feats ever seen at one time in the State of Ken- tucky. At this tournament a gold and silver medal for the best all-around gymnast was presented to Mr. Post, and to the Pm best gymnasts, Post and Shelby, were awarded the official “EC The next day, March 21, a meet was held with Central Uni- versity in the skating rink at Danville. Six men were allowed to compete on each team. In this contest, out of a possible Is points, State scored 1421 . to Central’s 121V. This was the filth meet with C. U. The first three, held at Danville, were won by C. U.. : fourth, at Lexington, and the last, were won by State. Up to this year State and Central have been the only . - leges in the State competing for gymnastic supremacy. On March 27, a triple meet, the first ever held in KentuP was held at the State University gymnasium. The contestants were Central University, Georgetown lege and State University. Out of a possible 100 points Si;.. scored 76, Centra] 67, and Georgetown 66. Thus, our invincible Gym team, bound with honors covered with glory, is carefully laid away until another sea- will have arrived. RESERVOIR LAKE BY MOONLIGHT Track Team HE track team, since 1906, has been a rather minus quantity. The Athletic Association has been in rather hard circumstances for the past two years, and on this account our team has not had much of a show. This year, how- ever, the team has climbed to:its feet and will be heard from before the end of the season. In the indoor interclass meet, the records were better than ever before and many of the world’s .records were equaled. The Junior Class won the meet, closely followed by the Freshman Class. Mathers won the medal for the best individual man, with Bryant Shanldin, who will be heard from in the intercol- legiate meets, close second. Post also showed good form and will be in the game when the boys go out on the dirt. Several meets have been scheduled and State expects to take the rightful place as the champions of Kentucky.

The plucky, little Sophomores started the season off by playing and defeating the girls of Margaret Hall by a score of eighteen to ten. This started the ball rolling and the fun began. Of course, our contests with our old opponents, the Kentucky University girls, were by far the most exciting. As. we tied them on their own floor and defeated them on ours by a score of twenty to four, it is no wonder that we call the season a suc- cess. Our only regret is that they would not play us a third game as agreed upon. But can one blame them? Most of the credit for the unwaning interest and enthusiasm displayed all during the season is due to the tireless zeal and patience of our coach, Prof. Leaphart. lie came from Missouri, and he certainly did show us how to play ball. To the training table is due the rest of the credit. This was a new institution at Patterson Hall, and worked wonders. Though all small girls, our girls were stronger and more enduring than some of the larger ones with whom they contended. Our fair-haired captain covered herself with glory. She was always in the right spot at the right time. The famous little cap- tain of the Sophomore team, and of baseball fame, could always be depended upon. The rest certainly did their part, and even those who did not make the team continued to practice faithfully, doing all they could for old S. U. One feature that marred the pleasure of the season was tin absence of inter-class games. This was unfortunate; as they en- courage school spirit, class spirit and arouse general enthusiasm. Though unavoidable this year, we hope this will be remedied next season. The season ended as it began, .with a victory, this time for the Varsity, who defeated the Louisville Olivians by the decisive score of eighteen to ten. Kentucky is just awakening to the fact that basketball is good, healthy exercise for girls, and many small teams all ove- the State have been practicing this season. By next year we ho; to have more teams with whom to contend, and win more glory for our Alma Mater. We are proud to say that “our little, white angels,” as son one called our girls, are the champions of this part of the count! and have successfully upheld the honor of State University.

No. But you may be certain that the little lady who is railing about steak and biscuits, hardships, absence of pleasure, etc., is exaggerating just a wee bit, and down in the depths of her heart she has a soft spot for the dear old Hall. Let her talk, for, although it is more of the boarding-school habit to talk about the fare and other trials and tribulations, it is really a splendid topic of conversation. Feasts, did you say? Oh my! yes. And plenty of them. Not, of course, until after the lights are out. A mixture of candles, chafing dishes, kimonos, napkin-rings full of butter, savory odors, good things to eat, merry laughter—a step in the hall, a voice—candles out, a scamper into closets and under beds; an open door, an empty room. Music? Of all kinds. There’s the piano in the practice room whose tone is good enough, but whose constant repetitions of well-known tunes and exercises make one believe that the piano could play them in its sleep. Then there’s the piano in the gym, which is not a gym at all but the place where those won- derful co-ed dances are given. Its tone is-quite another matter. But in spite of its quality it is still an invitation to dance-loving feet. There is also a violin which speaks for itself. Then last but not least there are serenades galore and that’s when the “Ever-Empty’s” make their nocturnal visits. Did I say last.' Oh, no, please let us not forget the music of the bells, for they may be considered the most important factor in the life at Pat- terson Hall. There’s the door-bell, the telephone bell, the meal- time bell, the rising bell, the light bell, and the bell that means (if you are a boy within the parlors of the Hall on Friday or Sat- urday evening) that it is time for you to “skidoo.” If you are a very arduous lover and linger, being loath to leave, there is another bell which means to—‘£ cut-it-out. ’ ’ Walks ? Yes indeed! If your physician has advised a daily walk there is ample room for taking it. You can walk mill without leaving the spacious grounds which are beautiful with verdant grass, stately trees and lovely flowers. Of course th length of your walk depends entirely on how many times you go around the drive. Seniors? That’s the best of all, for, when by dint of long continued labor and striving, you finally reach that exalted posi- tion, life at the Hall then is sweeter than at any other tim There is a Senior hall, a Senior table, and there are Senior privi- leges. And so, in the aftermath of life, when we dream of our happy college days of long ago, let us be sure that our memories of the dear old Hall will be tinged far more with pleasure than with sadness. 248 First Term—1907-1908.

Crait Debating Team 11 E Kentucky Inter-Collegiate Debating Asso- ciation, which is composed of the four leading educational institutions of Kentucky, was or- ganized in 1905. In the first contest, State ex- perienced defeat, but the next year heralded an easy victory over our Crimson rivals, and we hail our representative warriors—Moore, McPheron and Craft—the champions of Kentucky. The subject, “Resolved: That it is unjust and inexpedient for our National Government to enact any law excluding immi- grants from the United States on account of race or nationality,” was proposed by State University, and Central University chose the negative side of the argument. State was represented by the strongest team that she has ever offered for a debate, and the victory was the most decisive in the history of the Association. McElroy, Cheek and Sachs, representing “Old Center,” en- tered the fray with a confidence inspired by victory in each pre- vious debate, and by the fact that they represented an instituti which for the last three quarters of a century has been the fair • nursery of Kentucky oratory. But this confidence was shatter:'’ at the outset. They were surprised by the numerous citat - • and earnestness of McPheron; conquered by the logic and ar - ment of Craft, and cowed by the wit and sarcasm of Moe They were defeated not because they were weak, but been State’s defenders were vastly stronger. The speeches were delivered in a forceful and argumenta r manner; the arguments were connected and direct; no point the affirmative was left unsupported, and no point of the negat unattacked. Before the rebuttals began it was clear that Sta had put up a winning argument and it was only necessary Moore, with his spirited reply, which brought forth rounds applause, to bring the judges to a unanimous vote for the al'- firmative. The victory speaks well for the team, and the success of tin team reflects the progress and strength of the University in th field of public speaking. Downing, H. IT Garvin, C. C 1908 Wilson, J. M.

About one hundred men have affili- ated with this organization, and many of them are working to raise the standard of Christian life in the University. Not only have many of the young men shown increased interest, but many persons over the State have been looking into the work and offering their aid to it. The opening of the session found the Y. M. C. A. with a very small membership. Little work was done, partly because no sec- retary could be found to take charge of the association. At the beginning of the winter term, however, the whole body took a new impetus and organized a membership campaign. A series of ad- dresses for Wednesday night meetings was arranged, and the student body has since been offered the privilege of hearing noted speakers from different parts of the State. A most important feature of the association work is Bible Study. Prof. Leaphart is leading a class of twenty-six members with the object of training them for leaders of next year’s groups. Weekly meetings are held at two o’clock on Sunday afternoons. The association has touched many men in a social as well as in a moral way. Its rooms are constantly open for students, and magazines and papers are offered them. Several socials were given during the year, one, in particular, by the ladies of the faculty and by the wives of faculty members. Students and pro- fessors mingled on equal terms, all enjoying the pleasant evening Such events have enhanced greatly the attractiveness of associa- tion work for young men and aided in bringing men to a closer acquaintance with each other. When we contemplate the task which confronted the Young Men’s Christian Association at the first of the year and the man- ner in which it has been met, we feel confident'that a well-planned woi’k for the future must bear rich returns and have its desired effect in uplifting men in their college life. 262 OFFICERS R.

Chairman Treasurer 2 ;r, The Ever-Empty Wake-’Em-Ups NTS mandolin club has for its sole object that great necessity of the human race, namely, “grub.” We don’t claim to be romantic or hard to chase, and, to our credit be it said, we never attempted to sing. This club was formed to while away the long winter nights, and, oh! how we longed for spring, when we should blossom forth to serenade “Pat Hall” and the nurses. To the young ladies of those lonely domiciles we tender our Motto: “No feedee, No playee.” sincere thanks for their kind endurance of our exquisite sym- phonies. They have stood by us through all the vicissitudes of rains, hails, snows and burglars. Our club is few in numbers, but loud in noise. We serenade once a week, and, be it understood, we drink any drink, eat any “eats,” read any notes and are expert kiss snatchers, and w carry our own private chaperones. Anyone desiring a serenam will notify the manager, tip the musician, prepai e for the “grub- grabber” and the “putter-down” will do the rest. Office hours, 8 p. m. to 4 a. m.

CHAPTER ROLL “Billy” OTHER LOAF(ER)S “Cush” Kirk Grand Top Loaf(er) .. . “ Buddye ’ ’ Grannis “ Jackv’ ’ Bell “Fete” Samuel Grand Keeper of the Recipes “ Big League ’ ’ Stone ■ ‘ Rusty ’ ’ Gu errant “Sammy” Sampson Grand Keeper of the Dough “Cott” Kelley The Girl We Leave Behind OW that my sheepskin is fairly certain and all the world seems bright, I can’t help laughing at some of the incidents of my early 'career. Having broken loose from mother’s apron strings, I strayed into Pat’s office, with what little space I was supposed to have for brains completely in a whirl. How strange every- thing seemed, and how peculiar I felt, while most everyone except me appeared perfectly at home. But I escaped by some marvel- ous streak of luck and embarked upon the Freshman Year. For several months I labored in blindness—in fact, my life was but a mere existence. But it didn’t last long. I shall never forget how my debut was made, and it won’t do to inform the public, as this is a cold and cruel world. However, the Freshman year was uneventful, except for my first dance in a dress suit. This incident is too funny to let slip. Listen! ’Tis a secret. I borrowed it, and had one h—1 of a time. I felt like a poor, mis- placed sinner. But when I left for home that night, the same queer sensation which now fills J. K. Browning’s system had the poor mechanism of my heart taxed to the utmost. It was then that I determined to do big things; to be the head of a trust, or some other frivolous deed. But just imagine my position when the very next day I saw her talking to another youth. Months rolled by and I went home, having finished ray Freshman year, feeling several times my real size. Nothing was too good for me; I was a “College bred” man and a Sophomore. My next year was spent in having a good time, doing just as little work as necessary to pull through. But laying all jokes aside, I struck a snag that year. In other words, I met the one who has played a very important part in my past three years; for whom I have worked late at nights and for whose sake I have denied myself the pleasures of the pool room and skating rink. Have you ever had anything like that to happen to you? Something has been missed if you 'haven’t. You know, she told me I must get down to work and that she would do the same, and all that sort of talk. Well, I took it all in and was actually fool enough to work during my Junior year. But now that I have fought all the battles and am still living, things seem different. It seems so queer that anyone should fail to take advantage of his opportunities. But we find consolation in knowing that it is not too late and that “for the man who puts the margin on,” as Dr. Scoville says, there is always an opening. Isn’t it strange that at the end, everyone realizes that life’s a serious proposition, and one continuous struggle between men, in which the best man wins ? Now, as a Senior, and as one leaving the University for a manly struggle for the top round, I wish to leave with you one thought, just a man-to-man talk. Fellow students, there is one whom we leave amongst you who is exceedingly coy. To write a theme on this fair one, I would have to express the joys of the morning, the brightness of the noon-day sun and the calm of a summer’s evening. And at the same time describe eyes as soft and appealing as the dew-drop in the chalice of a rose or the tropical moon on the limpid waters of the lake. It is her nature to trifle. None but the very best can pass unscarred. I congratulate you one and all for having in your midst one who is thoroughly capable of guiding the youths of the State University in the right path. Statistics of the Class of 1908 The Average Age of the class is 22 years. The youngest is 18 and the oldest 46, although one says she is in her dotage, and we are averse to disputing her. The Average Weight of the class is 122 pounds. The'light- est fairy being 97, and Pap Smiley, the heavy man, weighing 232 pounds. The Average Height is 5 feet 8 inches, the smallest man being ' 5 feet 3 inches and the tallest 6 feet 2 inches. The honors of this contest are awarded to “Shorty” Poynter and “Lengthy” Browning, respectively. In answer to the query as to “the number of hours that I study per day,” the average is found to be 3. Some don’t study at all and some study as much as 36 hours out of a possible 24. The Average Time for Arising is 7 a. m. Some don’t go to bed, and, therefore, don’t have to arise. The Average Time for Retiring is 11 p. m. Some are so worn out with the day’s routine that they retire at 8 p. m., and some are so rejuvenated that they do not retire at all (some one suggests that these latter put their spare time in studying?). An Estimate of Four Years’ Expenses at State University is found to be $1,600. Some have spent as much as 50c (Keisel) and others as little as $25,000. Do You Know More About Running the University Than the Faculty? called forth a unanimous vote that it was possible to improve the present system. Everyone was glad they came to State University. What Senior is Most Likely to Succeed in Life, 1, 2, 3: (1) Browning, (2) Bryant, (3) Taylor. Bill Ed Hudson voted for himself as did various others. The Average Size of Shoe was 6’ -. The smallest was l11 for the girls, and the largest was a good-sized gunboat. The Average Size of Collar was 141 .. The Average Size of Hat was 6%. One had such a small head that he only wore a 6J , while there are several who have the big-head so, that it is exceedingly hard to bestow the honor upon the most appropriate one. Among the latter may be mentioned a few of the most prominent; Bryant, Craft, Hoss Bennett, Lewisj Shelby and a few others. The Favorite Exercise varies from walking to fighting, and if the personal equation were integrated between the above limits, the answer would be loafing. s Walking I EXERCISE- LOAFING J Fighting The Hardest Course at the University is conceded to Chem- istry, with Electricity a close second. Tt is the unanimous opin- ion that Maxon runs a better bluff than “Dope” Wilson. The Average Student does not live at home. If the mer- chants of this town would pay attention to this fact they would realize that the coin which is piled in their coffers comes from this source. It therefore behooves them to loosen up the strings to said coffers and do more advertising in the University publica- tions. It is found that the tonsorial equipment of the class is 60 271 per cent brunette. It varies from a “10c-a-bottle” blonde to no hair at all. There was quite a diversity of opinion as to who was the favorite professor, 1, 2, 3: “Jimmy” White won, with “Dope” Wilson a close second, and Rowe bringing up the rear. Another diversity of opinion was expressed as to who was the favorite Instructor. Joe Dicker wins, “Daughter” Martha White in the place, and Sandy MacKenzie gets the show money. The Most Popular Man in the Class is conceded to Morrie Wilson, (2) Bryant, (3) Browning. Elam received one vote. He must have voted for himself. The Most Popular Girl was very hard to decide, since they are all so popular. (1) Miss Sweeney, (2) Miss Allen, (3) Miss McCandless. Miss Carter voted for herself. The Best Looking Man is “Rusty” Guerrant; he has such a dear “wliere-did-you-get-it” complexion. (2) “Pate” Samuel, the choir boy; (3) “Idolize-ME” Lewis. Penrod ran a good race, but didn't have quite enough votes to pull him through. Another hard question to decide was who is the best looking- girl ? Miss Carter wins; she takes such perfect care of her face that she never smiles for fear of cracking the varnish. (2) Miss Buckner, (3) Miss Frost. Miss Allen received one vote. We hesitate to remark upon it. In regard to an assertion made by a prominent minister in this town, that over 90 per cent of the Students at State Uni- versity used liquor, the Senior class was canvassed and taken as an average for the University, as we are older men and imbibe more freely than the rest. It was found that 60 per cent used liquor, and the favorite beverage varies from beer to chocolate lollipop. Whiskey a middling second. Sixty per cent use tobacco, and 96 per cent of these prefer cigarettes. Sixty-five per cent are Democrats. One was a Demo-Repub- lican, another an Atheist. How often Do You Attend the Hippf The Mechanicals all answer, “never, as ‘Little Paul' is always there.” The rest at- tend once in two weeks. Prof. Miller in Zoology—Mr. Bowles, of what use is the earthworm to the farmer ? Bowles—The earthworm eats up insects and things and is mighty good bait for any farmer to take fishing. Miss Kinkead says, and is proud of it, that she hasn’t lived in Scotland since 1688.

Buck—Er, dice. Prof. Mackenzie (After waiting several minutes for an an- swer to a question, said)—Miss Allen, did you ever live in the country ? Miss Allen—No. Why do you ask? Prof. Mackenzie—I was just thinking how thrilling you would find it sitting on the fence watching the tortoise whiz- zing by. GEOLOGY AS SOME PEOPLE SEE IT. Miss Leigh—(A) Man is the most important thing in the world. Miss Frost—The Brontosaurus is a cadaverous animal. “Hello Dope! where are you going?” “Down town to meet the boys, I was out with last night.” ‘‘What’s that bundle under your arm ?'’ “Oh! the boys will ask me what my wife said when I got in last night, and just to save the time, I’m going to hand them this bundle—it contains an unabridged dictionary.” Schedules of Prominent Students RUSSELL ROBINSON— 8:00 Walking to school with Lois. 9:00 Talking in hall to Lois. 10:00 Going to chapel with Lois. 10:30 Down from chapel with Lois. 11:30 Talking in hall with Lois. 12:30 Walking home with Lois. 1 :00 Still talking at gate with Lois. 2:15 Going to afternoon class with Lois. 3:30 Back to Pat.

Tes- timony regarding the sensations experienced in occurrences of this nature would absolutely That the rail section in the present instance is ample for the load carried would seem to be evident, as there is no show of resistance nor any apparent heating of the arm-ature winding. No useful work need be expected, however, for the fields are not excited. There is also every evidence of a short-circuited arm- ature, and the space between the contact points is quite insuffi- cient for insertion of proper insulation. Self-induction and mag- netic attraction are plainly exerting their influencas to compli- cate the case. No good reason exists for doubting the high tension of the short-circuit; but whether alternating or direct, periodic or con- stant, cannot be determined without making tests which would not be permitted by the interested pai’ties. The conditions would seem to be admirable for continuous operation in parallel. At any rate, we have a vivid illustration of persistent sparking with- out the slightest breaking of contact. The scene depicted may be presumed to lie in the vicinity of Wheatstone’s bridge, and the community is fully as liable to be as shocked as are the closely associated mutual observers thus caught in the act and self-convicted of contributory negligence. Such are the dangerous delights of rural and subui’ban third rails. The city and interurban third rail has other perils, not so thoroughly enjoyable, while happily not devoid of possibilities along the line suggested by the above illustration, yet offers no element of physical danger to any who may desire or be required to associate with it, on terms of close and continuous intimacy, either for business or for pleasure. 274 ONE OP THE DANGERS OP THE THIRD RAIL. A bag of meal, Just plain old meal, Chanced upon his way. He tried his hobby In the hotel lobby Like he bluffs his class each day. He began to rave, To loudly rave, Like our fierce local thunder.

Miss Kaufman—And then would I register according to pressure ? NO WONDEB. What is that gleaming I see in the distance? What is it approaches in out-landish guise? Is it a fairy or is it a demon, Or is it some animal dropped from the skies? I now get a much closer view of inspection; It seems long and white; I see its steps seem to lag. No, half of it's blue; if it just had some red on, I’d be tempted to say it was Uncle Sam’s flag. A light seems to dawn—is it?—no, it can’t be. Who would have guessed it, it is really no bosh.

One of the Normalites, hanging over the banister at Pat TTall one night at 7 :30, was heard to call: “Sis, Oh, Sis! shall I wash for a high-neck or a low-neck?” Prof. Norwood (During a recitation on explosives, of which Schniderite is a particular kind)—Mr. Sampson, what is Schnid- erite ? Sampson—Er—a, er—a, Schniderite is one of the constitu- ents of the atmosphere. Tis Midnight’s Stilly Hour ’Twas just after “lights out” and all in the Hall Were supposed to be sleeping, when “bump” came a fall; 'Twas Lucy and Pearl, their arms fully laden, Who took fright at something, ’twas only Bess Hayden Who stuck out her hand at the door of a room; They thought it was Pate’s and tripped on a broom. How lucky for them; that the boxes were tin, For in the third story, a bunch was all in Waiting for goodies which were to be made; Goodies which truly would make others fade. Knock, knock—knock knock knock was the evening’s password, “Gome in, thou fair maids,” on the inside was heard. When in they all went; some one took a notion They needed some eups—oh, what a commotion. ‘ ‘ Bid not, ’ ’ from Miriam was heard above all, Then following came more, they repeated the call. Finally sweet little “Wilkes” in her dear little way Said, “ I ’ll go for you, girls, just your tempers to stay, ’ ’ And when she had gone, up piped Aline, ‘ ‘ To tell the truth, girls, I think you are mean; 1 would have gone, but I’m stirring the candy.” (She chose that job, for she thought it was handy). And I,” said Edith, “must hold up the candle That you may see,” (that part’s easy to handle). “Well, I’m opening this can,” said Hattie, off yonder; “Gee, girls,” said Ivy, “I’m trying to ponder How this much milk will be enough; We surely need more, now isn’t that tough?” Then Ruby (always ready), spying some fun, Thought of the pantry—it’s easily done, To slip through the cellar and up the back stairs, But, oh, it’s the going that gives you the scares; But banded together, no one’s afraid. So they went; Inez a great leader made, With her lamp in her hand and the soldiers so bold Following behind, no one could have told That a squeak of a board would have scattered that crowd, Till all of a sudden, one squeaked real loud. No pantry for them that night was decided, The milk would suffice and they all abided By that decision, and up they all went, To the scene of the feast and all were so bent On noise making and cooking that they were surprised At a knock on the door. At once all surmised The form of the matron standing out there And “young ladies” assured them, and oh what a scare; Pell-mell in the closet and under the bed Or under the covers, all but the head, The only one ready her guest to receive Was the hostess, studying, not one would believe She was the leader of all the fun. ‘1 Gome in, ’ ’ she piped in a voice over done. Then in popped McC'andless, and the sighs of relief Were all that was needed to establish the belief That the fun was not over. And so they began Where they had left off, and back they all ran To the same old noise, if not more, When again came another knock on the door. “Stay out,” they all yelled; “old lady, don’t hope To fool us again, or give us that dope: Oh my no, we’re too wise, so get you this minute. ’ ’ Just then the door opened and there we were in it, For there stood the matron, and oh, what she said Was worse than the broth and the sending to bed. This ended the feast, as it was so late, And school the next day our dear forms would await. So in the next room, where all on the floor The mattresses lay even up to the door We all did pile, to sleep, one would think, But show me the person who put in a wink. “Slumber Party” sounds well, but what’s in a name? The ‘ ‘ Party ’ ’ part surely puts slumberHo shame. About three in the morning, nearly time to arise, We all decided to close up our eyes, And we dreamed that on biscuit and steak we must fare, But not of the lessons we did not prepare. 2S1 State University Driving Club Members.

A Clipping From An ’08 Miner’s Diary Friday, 13. Arose at 7:45 A. M. Dressed in three minutes and arrived on time. Dr. Schoene beat me there and we had a quiz. Two miners sick. Wonder why? Much excitement. Second Hour—Went up to recite for four men, including Johnson. Jack complained of too many reciting on the same topic, but every one said it was a short lesson, so we drew a longer one for tomorrow. Went to Chapel, but the Seniors were insulted by the lack of seats, and left. Third Hour—Passed quietly because the Old Man was there. Fourth Hour—All miners present at geology, the sick ones looking down and out. They must have had a bad night. Mid-day repast very modest. 2 P. M.—Easton, as usual, on the dot. Wish he wasn’t so prompt. He seemed much surprised, as there was a good matinee in town. Sampson invents a locomotive which exhausts under the caboose. Prof. Easton thinks it might inconvenience hobos. The miners at their seats sing softly in unison, “She blew, she blew.” For supper we had Grits. Saturday, 14. Metallurgy at 9 A. M. Complications arise from Newberger’s automatic blastless furnace. He was forth- with ostracised, while Prof, shed copious “Texas Steers.” All very much upset, so the class was dismissed. Sunday, 15. Miners toss up to see who goes to church as representative. Shelby the lucky man. The afternoon passed uneventfully, except for snoring. The evening was used in an- swering matrimonial ads and one for the adoption of a baby. Monday, 16. Dr. Schoene says Brockman hasn’t the brains of a gnat, and he is a truthful man. Bad news from Friday quiz. All down-hearted. This is not the miners’ day for history, but Shelby delightfully entertains them with the dance of the “Seven Veils,” in which he is so graceful. In chapel a note circulates saying that there will be a Senior skating party at the rink tonight. All sign pledge to go, thereby getting a reduction of a “gitney.” “Pat” calls the Senior roll and wonders why Smiley will not stand up, if he is there. 2 P. M.—Two members late, trying to force the excuse of too much dessert for dinner. Prof, calls on Denham for a gravity feeder, and he reads it out of the book for a 3. Everyone else jealous. Tuesday, 17. All on time. Shelby asks questions all the hour, so there’s no recitation. Much paw-grasping after class. Legislators at chapel. One of the mountain members desires to meet all the ladies—object not given out. lie is closely guarded by the boys. Trouble in the atmosphere. Third Hour—Held, by unanimous vote, at William Brad- ley’s. Billy is a good friend of the miners. He tells a joke on Sandy setting the girls up to cheap candy. Fourth Hour—High spirit of all the miners caused much undue comment from the civils. Some words after class, but no blows. Editor’s Note—The above clipping is just as it was taken from the owner. Judge not all the miners by it. f Prof. Rowe—Mr. Hudson, state your problem! Hudson—I have a head eighteen feet in diameter and 2,750 feet long. (Seltzer with a little lemon, please.) “Wonder what makes Minnie ha-ha,” Said Hiawatha as he sat Counting up his wampum, As he smoked upon the mat Of the wigwam in the gloaming, When the doctor came to chat. Answered then the man-of-medicine: “It is easy to explain, Readily I diagnose it Laughing-water on the brain.” Miss Frost (upon her first day in college)—I want to know something. Miss Allen—Well—What—Maybe T can tell you. Miss Frost—How much does it cost to get a co-education up here ? Heard in Basket Ball Practise--Foul on Christina, arms around Mr. Lewis. Guerrant went to church one Sunday and was sick for the rest of the week. Take care, Russell, don’t make any rash moves. Shelby—I am going up to Michigan in May, and am coming back the next spring, about the first of October. Dean—That was a capital joke. Kirk—I didn’t see the point. Dean (In surprise)—Why, the Governor told that down at Frankfort. “What is this story I hear about Miss Martin advertising for a husband,” asked one of her classmates. “It’s almost that,” was the answer. “She has taken to promenading the campus with a cook-book under her arm.” A Joi,iyy uK 3 Citeni frey Duuf-r- WhiiA ITiXjriG A Compound Op Stupe- Dko-ppBd A PIaAcLh. h-cAca Viau At D AersRi Awmi.lL ’Thuy fotrrco Hid feonfTooTH Arro A CuF£ 284 Senior Characteristics A sleepy old fellow is Grannis, Who’s a very sweet boy, Oh! please fan us. The girls wanted him bad, But ’tis awfully sad, A far-away lady outran us. There’s a foxy young lady named Boyd, Who is marked “Self-esteem unalloyed,” The male sex seem to shun her, Though she’s really a stunner, For of love of the men she’s devoid. A modest young fellow is Wallace, Whose numerous virtues appall us. He went after Aline And captured a queen, And now there’s a hope for all us. A dignified lady is Helen, Whose head is so rapidly swellin’, With leading the Prom And capturing Tom, Where ’twill stop there’s really no tellin’. Now there’s our friend, Rusty Guerrant, Thought l?y all the girls a gallant, But he jollies so many, Doesn’t settle on any, To say more about him we can’t. Thus Billy’s name stands far above The list of girls’ hearts labeled “Love.” He can dance, he can skate, But you go and ask 1 ‘ Fete ’' Why a certain girl gave him the glove. There is a fair maid named Christina, You’ve missed it if you’ve never seen her. Her demeanor’s icy, Her words are quite spicy, Yet of our class she’s the queen, Ah! There is a young fellow named Brock, Has a head on him just like a rock, Though he’s awfully nice And has scarcely a vice, He surely does know how to knock. Miss Allen, the brilliant class poet, It’s a shame no one seems to know it. Go after them, Lutie, Their souls are quite sooty, And it’s up to you now to show it. A winning young fellow is Bryant, Whose affections it seems are quite pliant. He’s so terribly sweet, The girls kneel at his feet, But ho needn’t act quite so defiant. A sporty young lion’s Bell, Who loves a chic damsel. He should have known better, For he wrote her a letter Every day for quite a long spell. And then there’s our fair Aubyn Chinn, With Bill Shelby (?) would like to begin. Her love for this fellow Is not very shallow, But, I’ll tell you, his salary is slim. A pressing young fellow is Babbage, Whose hobby, is corn beef and cabbage. At two “bucks” per week His boarders look sleek, And still lie is not very savage. Who’s Who and Why? HO’S who? He’s who. Who? Emery Wells. Why ? Because he is the friend of I. B. Earle. And why is T. B. Earle? Sh—it’s a secret. Next—Bill Ed also ran; he ran several times; twice as a Sophomore, twice as a Junior, and now an “incorporated” Senior. Now cometh John Paul Carmody, the pugilistic wonder. Did he guess right when he answered unto the querulous “Dope,” “service wires”? The answer is—a week’s vacation. See! the conquering hero comes—Proctor Knott Smiley. Why ? Because he is the class orator. Yea, let him indulge in oratorical proclivities ever so little and he will receive loud applause, notwithstanding the fact that he is not given to dis- tributing twenty-dollar gold pieces. Genius in its first stage of development is displayed in the almighty Buckner. Why? Because he knows Guy Taylor. What do we see in Speaker Holland! Some, including himself, will say an orator; but they are mistaken, for they have doubtless never heard P. K. Recognized beyond doubt is J. K. Browning for mis- placed talent. He shows marked ability for mumbling without moving his lips. This causes annoyance in our Wednesday’s lec- ture. Well, what is the news from the rural district? Tommy Bryant actually talked to Miss Haynes. Why? Nobody knows. Is he a friend of Cott Kelley ? Tie is supposed to be. He’s been there, too. Who? Brockman. Does everybody know it? If not yet, soon. Alas! Bones Oldham no longer cries. Why? Because the cavernous opening in his face consumes all the waste energy. Denham, a walking information bureau. Does he have to know the merits of a subject to express an opinion ? No; merely have an audience. Practice what you preach, says Miss Leigh, for she bellowed out in the hall for the freshman to kiss the original after she had seen his picture. Coquetology is a science, for Miss Frost escaped without a blemish from “Love’s Labor Lost” and a “Man’s Broken Prom- ise”; seats, ten, twenty and thirty cents. His First Kiss TIRING the summer, TToss was over in Indiana showing the Indian Rc ining Company how their pipe-lines should be laid. The boys, who were with him merely for the sake of gather- ing the pearls of wisdom as they fell from his ruby lips, one day discovered a beautiful maiden, who, after much persuasion, agreed to kiss Hoss. IIoss was at first resentful of this intrusion upon his modesty, but soon went to the mat and the maiden carried away with her Hoss’ first kiss. HEARD AMONGST THE MECHANICALS. P ’rod—Is there anything that God can’t do ? Mathews—Yes ! He ean’t make a ten-year-old calf in a day. nor can he make a rock so large that he can’t lift it. Curtis—I know something else that he can’t do. Class—What’s that? Curtis—He can’t make “Bones” Oldham’s mouth any larger without moving his ears back some. Oh, Cholly, you look wonderous Y’s With spectacles on your I’s; You even made Dope, Think you had hope, To be a member of the Tau Beta Pi’s. Dope (red in the face)—Misther Pogue, do you understand this? Pogue (immediately)—Yessir. Dope—Now what do you understand ? Pogue—I don’t know sir----. Little Paul—Mr. Samuel, you are so thoughtless you’d laugh at a bug crawling on the floor. Pate—I wasn’t laughing at you, Professor. Oldham yawning: Prof. Wilson (To the class)—I’ll have to wait until that fel- low closes his face before I can tell who it is. Battaile (In Steam Engines)—I don’t see how Little Paul expects us to remember this stuff. Curtis—He don’t, else he wouldn’t have left the room. Remembering that there are 778 foot-pounds in I. B. T. U., Little Paul asks Guerrant, “How many B. T. U.’s in a foot- pound?” Guerrant—I forgot the exact number, but there’s a whole lots of ’em. Lewis (In the wood shop)—Now, you must all provide yourselves with overalls (as Miss Egbert enters, blushing)—or with aprons, as the case may be. Porter—I tell you, Kiesel is a hero! Metzler—How’s that? Porter—Kies saw Miss Ginn sinking below a Marcell wave and pulled her out. Guerrant—Say, Carmody, what makes you so mournful looking ? Carmody—Well, I’ll tell you—an agent gave my landlady four sample cakes of soap, today, and I hate to go home, for I know she’ll want to try them on me. “Zemmie,” addressing his dog, said: You vas schust a dog, but I vish I vas you. Ven you go mit de bet in, you schust durn round dree dimes und lay down, so. Ven I go mit de bet in, I haf to lock up de blace und vind de clock up und put de cat oud und undress mineself; und mine vife vakes up und scholes me. Den de cat’s kitten gries und I haf to valk ’im up und down; den ven maybe I shust get mine self to schleeb, it’s time to get mineself up again alrety. “Ven you get up, you schust scratch yourself a couble of times und you vas up alrety yet. I haf to kwick lite de fire, und put de kittle on, schrap mit mine vife alrety und maype get some- ding to eat. You blay round all tay und haf blendy fun yet. T haf to teach alf tay und haf blendy of droubles. Ven you die, you’s deat; ven I die, I haf to go to hell alrety yet. 1 Did You Say Puppy Love? HE foregoing is a copy of a letter received by two College Chums, who, on their return to College at the beginning of the year, com- pared notes on the happenings of the summer. In the course of events the following letter was read by one and closely followed by the other. It so happened that the “Editor” overheard the conversation and procured a copy of the following: ----, Ky., July, ’07. My Dear, Precious One: The desire of my heart, the one ambition of my soul; I won- der if you ever think of me even one-half as much as I have thought of you tonight? Don’t be too good to the other boys while I am away, for 'you know, dear, you are so different from the other girls. There comes a time in every man’s life when he meets his ideal; you are mine,--------, a flawless diamond. As I roam over these hills on these hot July days with a transit on my shoulder, your image is forever before me; in fact, it constitutes the “North Pole” of my mind’s magnetic meridian. No matter what catastrophe befalls me, I always find consolation in the one domi- nant purpose of my soul, your happiness! and that I intend to promulgate, foster and protect all the days of my life. I sometimes find myself dreaming of the future, and the pic- ture I always see has more than once sent thrills of joy through my system, for there I beheld you, my rapturous queen, upon a pedestal implanted upon those lofty heights to which I so often soar in my teens. Yet when the jealous side of my nature is uppermost and I feel blue and down-hearted, I see the vision once so fair and promising slowly drifting into the hands of another. Oh! that awful adage, “The survival of the fittest.” Still, since it is your wish, and since your happiness is at stake, I yield, though it is with great reluctance. Here’s to the lucky man; may he be the very soul of all that is noble. I congratulate him! You know, dear, I hate to play the part of the baby by tell- ing you all these things, but how can I help it ? They are truths, long cherished, ebbing forth from the secret cells of my heart. Although it bereaves me greatly that duty calls me from the pursuance of this epistle, T find one consolation—that on falling enraptured into the arms of Morpheus I will spend the happiest days of my life; those spent with you. Your conquered Boy, (Overheard) : Now,--------, how can we both be your ideal. when one is such a perfect blonde and the other such a perfect brunette ? 290 THE LAMENTATIONS OF A REJECTED LOVER. Merry as the little bee, Gloomy as the toad, Jumping as a little flea Across the silly road. Twinkling as the fairy stars, Bright as any waters, Running are South Limestone cars Slow as most fair daughters. ’Tis sweet to be remembered When white hairs fleelc our heads, And remembered we ever tendered A biscuit or a piece of meat or a nickel. So in closing we only care to close, With a sigh or a passing moan, And a hearty curse for all of those Who greet us with a groan. When all is said and all is done, Remember the old ill luck, When you meet a girl from K. S. TJ., You had better quickly duck. For all of us poor fellows have On occasion stood the load To see our girls, with another guy, A-hiking down the road. Friend—Brockman, what course are yon taking? Brockman—A. B. C. Friend—What’s that mean? Brockman—Athletics, Beer and Campus. Miss Kinkead (Delivering a lecture)—Think of him, a slim, beautiful hoy, standing there alone. Browning—Listen, fellows, she’s talking about me. IN ETHICS. Sandy—To be sure, the most potent factor in life is environ- ment, far more than heredity. For example, an adopted child always resembles its foster mother more than he does his true parent. Tommy—Then, Professor, if this is true, Prof. Miller’s chick- ens ought to resemble an incubator more than they do a hen. Prof. Boggess (Instructing a Freshman in drawing)—You may push a pen; but a pencil must be lead. i Watson—Say, Anbyn, do you know I heard a spicy bit, today, but I’ve promised not to tell. Miss Chinn—Well, go on, Jimmie, I’m listening. Mac Boales to a Freshman—Why don’t you take a bath? Freshman—Why, you’re dirtier than I am! Boales—I know it; but ain’t I two years older than you are ? Hendrickson—Adair is a fine-looking young fellow. Mathers—Yes! he is a cousin of mine. Hendrickson—I can’t see any family resemblance. He failed in Calculus, flunked in Chem ; They softly heard him hiss: “I’d like to find the man who said That ‘Ignorance is bliss.’ ” —Duncan Bell. REFLECTIONS Prof. Miller—A blind man can see the difference between sandstone and limestone by feeling it. THE COLLEGE WIDOW. “There’s an airy sort of fairy sort of magic in the air,” When the merry college widow comes in sight, For this “elfish little, selfish little” maiden small and fair, By her very presence gives the boys delight. She is charming, she’s alarming, every time she looks your way, Why, you feel the most absurd, queer little thrills. Your heart beating, keeps repeating that you really cannot say Why her glance should cause those funny little chills. She is pretty, she is witty, and she surely knows just how To captivate the hearts of hardest stone; In delusion and confusion, at her feet they each one bow, And for their previous indifference atone. How her blushes can make crushes it is wonderful to sec, Likewise glances from the corner of her eye, ’Till the youth in truth declares an ardent suitor he must be, Though he cannot tell himself exactly why. Then blundering and wondering, he catches hold the string On which she hangs her captives, one by one, 'Till she, smiling and beguiling, has captured each poor thing, And considers what a good year’s work she’s done. I must confess—though you can’t guess, it’s so hard to believe- When vacation takes the boys away from here, She hangs her hearts, her broken darts in joy upon her sleeve, And goes to find more string to use next year. E. E. G., ’10. A Question—Why did Louise Haynes change her course to Mathematics Major ? Answer—Because she has learned that 0X0=0“ and Oos _ . O , =Cot and- =l. Sin C Dune Bell—Can you tell how far a body will sink, if its specific gravity is greater than 1 ? Prof. Maxon—Yes, if you know how deep the water is. 294 Rhy me of the Ancient Quarterback It is an ancient quarterback, And he tackles one of three; “Now, what the—easy, easy, Jack! Why dost thou tackle me?” The grandstand gates are open wide, The bleachers filling fast— Mayst hear the rooters root inside— I must not be the last. And now from field to field I roam- Nay, take your quarter back; I need it not—I have a home, Enough to eat—and all I lack Is one to listen while I tell The story of my only game; And you, kind sir, have done it well- I thank you for the same.” He holds him firm, he holds him tigiii, Gripped where his clothes are slack; And thus unto that luckless wight Declared the quarterback: ' ‘ The game began—I tell you, friend, It was a red-hot match; With ‘tackle low' and ‘round the end,’ And many a punt and catch. And I was playing quarterback— Ah, me, the godly game! When suddenlee, alas, alack, Through the line they came. A ton in weight and charging straight, The fearful phalanx flew, And with The Ball one big and tall Beyond them all came through— God save thee, ancient football man, From the fiends that plague thee thus! Why lookst thou so?—I tackled low, That elephantine cuss. About, about, in rough-house rout, The horrid scrimmage reeled; Minus an arm and less a leg, They bore me from the field. Three-quarters scattered o’er the turf, T was a fearsome wrack; I started in one full-sized man— They brought one-quarter back. 295 The Wise Man WILLIS J. DEAN. You must have met the man who seems To always know it all, Who knows just why his friends succeed And knows just why they fall; Who knows why Brown divorced his wife And just what caused the blow; He always seems to know so much That really isn't so. He knows who slugged Bill Patterson, He knows the age of Ann; He knows how much his neighbor earns, And tells it where he can; He knows what caused the 'Prisco quake, Why airships will not go; It’s wonderful how much he knows That really isn’t so. Apologies to Mother Goose Sing a song of Holland, A bucket full of slush; Four and twenty chorus girls A’coming at a rush. When they saw sweet Holland, The girls began to sing, “Isn’t he a pretty boy, I’d like to wear his ring.” Holland he was happy, The girls he thought were grand; A sonsy lass drew close to him, The ring came off his hand. 297 He’s always busy night and day Distributing the news; No matter what you’re talking of This man you cannot lose. He knows it all, without a doubt, And this he’ll plainly show; It is remarkable the things He knows that are not so. N THE name of our faithful guardians, the Faculty, we, the class of “Naughty Eight,” the oldest child of the State University, of the City of Lexington, R. F. D.
