Tr7F - Oke University President Barker HENRY SI I rES BARKER, President of the University of Kentucky, is one of the oustanding figures in the educational activities of the South. Leaving the Appelate Bench of the State, of which body he was Chief Justice, and at the same time a trustee of the governing board of this institution, President Barker was called February 3, 1910, by the unanimous vote of that body to the presidency of the University. He entered actively upon his official duties January 1, 1911, succeeding Professor James G. White, who had been acting executive since the resignation of James K. Patterson. When President Barker assumed his new duties there were at the close of the col- legiate year 721 students enrolled in all departments of the institution. The student en- rollment began to increase the first year of President Barker’s administration, whereupon followed seven years of gradually augmented enrollment; that of each year was in excess of its predecessor except one, with the result that in that comparatively brief period the body of matriculates in the institution was doubled almost to a man by the end of 1916. At the time that President Barker took charge the College of Agriculture was a struggling institution with a small body of students. With an enthusiasm that seemed boundless he addressed himself to the task of co-ordinating with the University the agri- cultural activities of the Commonwealth. He attended every farmers’ meeting consistent with his daily duties. He made speeches throughout the State; he effected co-operation with farming elements on the broad and substantial basis of mutual understanding and common interest, and set in motion every energy of that growing department. Records are the best evidence of results. From a handful of students in the Agricultural Col- lege in 1910, the enrollment increased to 222 in 1913; to 290 in 1914; 390 in 1915; 365 in 1916. During President Barker’s administration there were set in motion activities looking to- ward the establishment of the University Y. M. C. A., at first a struggling organization, without positive leadership and without well defined purposes, on the broad, firm basis on which it now rests. To-day the Y. M. C. A. has a well equipped home, a resident secretary, and a larger membership than it has ever had. An ardent admirer of athletics and a believer in the doctrine of a sane head and a sound body, he gave unstintedly of his time, money, and personal leadership to the cause of athletics, so that to-day the University of Kentucky enjoys co-operation in ath- letics with the leading universities of the State and of the South, and is fast inviting com- petition with the larger universities farther North. It is not the purpose of the Kentuckian here to enter into the detals of the achieve- ments of the University in the field of athletics during President Barker’s administration. Suffice it to say that she has held her own in every contest and is entering upon a career of broader endeavor destined to lead on to full fellowship in the athletic activities of the best colleges of the country. (27) During President Barker’s administration the law department has grown under Dean W. T. Lafferty’s leadership from an enrollment of 46 students to an enrollment in 1915-16 of 124, 102 of whom are of college standing, with a similar large enrollment for 1916-17. During his administration also the department of Journalism was estab- lished with an enrollment of 35 students in 1914, that has grown to 91 in 1917. The College of Home Economics has shown similar growth, until to-day it is one of the most widely recognized colleges treating this subject in the South. In the field of debate and oratory, records show that students of the University have won considerably in excess of 75 per cent of all contests in which they have been entered in the last seven years. Space forbids entering here into more than a brief recital of the achievements of President Barker’s administration. It is perhaps to the man himself that the greater interest on the part of the student body attaches. Benevolent beyond the manifestations of most men, entirely in sympathy with his “boys and girls” in all that touches their interest and their welfare; in love with young life in all its ambitions and its hopes; with immeasurable desire to bring them to higher and truer standards of citizenship, and with abundant fidelity to the institution that is the cap sheaf of the Commonwealth’s system of education, he has been amply repaid by the affection and loyalty of all those who have had the good fortune to come in contact with him during their collegiate life. President Barker is an intense believer in men and women. His invariable policy has been to select men in whom he could repose confidence for positions of leadership and then demand of them the best that they could give in service. His problems have been many, but he has never faltered. He has had enemies—few men there are who have not—but he has met all in the spirit of fairness and justice so characteristic of his whole life and has done the day’s work as it presented itself, with confidence, with integrity of purpose, with lofty courage, and with single hearted loyalty that have been at once an inspiration to his comrades and an example to the student body. (28) PROF. GILLIS came to the University in 1907 as a professor in the Depart- ment of Education. He was later appointed Registrar of the University and Secretary to the President. In all his connection with the University he has ever proven himself possessed of a spirit of progress. In his work he has bent every energy toward the movements that have introduced system into the work of the colleges and the administrative offices. Prof. Gillis has joined heartily in every move that has tended toward a co- operative government that would maintain good will between the students and faculty. The high degree of success that has resulted from his work has been recognized by the National Association of Registrars, of which he has been Secretary-Treasurer since 1913. Quiet by nature, but accompanied by a firmness that is to be admired, he is possessed of a happy way that has won for him many fast friends and admirers. Dean Miller College of Arts and Science PROFESSOR A. M. MILLER stands at the helm of the College of Arts and Science and directs Its varied courses in a satisfactory manner. The perpetual growth of this college is strong proof that its pilot is eminently suited to direct its work. Professor Miller is devoted to Geology, which he still continues to teach despite the demands made on his time by his Deanship duties. The faculty under his supervision, which is the largest of any of the colleges, has been gathered from widely different institutions as regards their preparation, and maintains a very high reputation for ability and scholarship.

The character of his work has placed him undisputedly among the foremost men of the country in his line of work and has won for him national recognition. Dean Roberts is a man of strong personality who has stood for that which was highest in the ideals of life and has on every occasion held these ideals before the students in the college. The devotion to his students and to his work, and the personal attention that he has given every student in this large and growing college has won for him the devotion and respect of avery student. Throughout the past year, in which Prof. Roberts has been acting Dean, he has made every effort to make the College of Agriculture, through its Experiment Station, teaching and extension departments, stand for a broad educational program. His purpose has been to make the agriculture of the state more prosperous and the rural conditions more wholesome and attractive. It has ever been his creed that the most important achievement of the college is the character it impresses upon the students and the character they in turn reflect.

Rowe, and during this period the college has made practically all of its history and advancement. By a constant and ceaseless struggle for more and betted things for the civil engineer attending the University, this college has been made one of the most important in the University and one of the most useful to the Commonwealth. Strenuous and successful efforts for a place for the col- lege, for funds with which to carry on the work, and for recognized scholarship in the college marks every step of the progress made in the past eleven years. Dean Rowe, while a native of Indiana, is essentially a Western man, having spent many years in the far West. Since the very beginning Dean Rowe has had a firm, progressive and constructive hold on all matters connected with his college. The College of Civil Engineering now finds itself in the finest building on the campus, with a good working equipment, and with a history to be proud of. It has passed through some discouraging, unfortunate and trying periods, but these have made the college stronger and more vigorous. The unparalleled loyalty of the students has always been a valuable asset of the college. The college looks toward the future with every prospect of an enlarged and enriched sphere of usefulness to the individual and to the Commonwealth.

Associate Professor of Civil Engineering; Head of the Department of Bridge Engineering Daniel V. Terrell, B.C.E. Professor of Rural and Highway Engineering (35) FREDERICK PALIE ANDERSON, Dean of the College of Electrical and Mechanical Engi- neering, is widely known in the engineering profession as an able educator. By his untiring efforts and executive ability he has developed a department from a mere dream of twenty-five years ago to one of the prominent engineering schools of America. The keen interest of the Dean for his department is felt by all the students. This is indeed idle interest, but is evinced by his efforts to better the conditions of his department, to keep in touch with each alumnus, to secure for his graduates the best positions, and to give the students every oppor- tunity to become acquainted with those things which will best fit him for his work. Dean Anderson has frequently said that he is not training engineers, but executives; men who will go into the various branches of engineering to assume the responsible positions of industrial leadership. To promote this idea many methods are employed; prominent men are secured to address the students; industrial moving pictures are shown; everything possible is done to improve the cultural side of the course and further develop those inherent qualities which distinguish the true gentleman. gh a department is greater than any man and truth stands above its herald, as was demon- strated at the funeral of Henry George, it is still true, as Carlyle said, a nation’s history is the history of its great men. So the Mechanical Department is the embodiment of the ideas of its founder and benefactor, Dean Anderson. '1 College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering FACULTY Frederick Paul Anderson, M.E.

About forty years of his life he has spent either in public or private station in service to Kentucky, in efforts to pro- mote the development of her natural resources, and has won recognition as an author- ity in matters pertaining to Geology and Mining. The fact that Kentucky is an important mining center lends prestige to his col- lege, and the graduates are much in demand and hold responsible positions through- out this country and abroad, due to his thorough and comprehensive training, which develops efficiency.

A lawyer of ability, the friend and guardian of his students, he stands at the head of the college which under his direction has become a splendid asset of the University. His fac- ulty, which is unquestionably able and efficient, directs a thorough course in the science of jurisprudence. One of the commendable features of the course is the series of lectures given each year by eminent lawyers who claim Kentucky as their mother state, and who render service to the Commonwealth in this way. The law library is another feature of the course, it being one of the best in the South and affording opportunity for broad and exhaustive research into the questions of law presented in the classroom. (40) Dean Mary E. Sweeny MARY E. SWEENY, who has been connected with the Department of Home Economics since receiving her postgraduate degree from Columbia University in 1912, has contributed much to the rapid growth of this department, and to her untiring efforts is due the credit for the recent establishment of this department as one of the colleges of the University. The growth and development of this branch of education at the University has been unprecedented. Aside from her Deanship duties, Miss Sweeny has been for five years a specialist in Home Eco- nomics Extension in co-operation with the United States Department of Agriculture and the College of Agriculture of the University, and has contributed greatly to the betterment of general living condi- tions in the rural districts, to the introduction of hot school lunches in rural schools, and to the addition of courses in cooking and sewing in elementary and high schools of the state. As a teacher and as Dean cf the college, she has done a most faithful service to the University. As a leader of young women she has been an inspiration and a guide of rare refinement and intelligence. As a leader among the club women of Kentucky and the United States, Miss Sweeny has assumed a position of responsibility in the direction of their study and development, also as a member of the governing body of the American Home Economics Association she has taken her place.

TURNER, Lexington, Ky............................Secretary-Treasurer HARRY Staples, Lexington, Ky..........................Editor “The Alumnus” THE only permanent body of any college or university is its alumni. The board of regents, the faculty, and the students are merely transitory. Every alumnus, whether he is conscious of the fact or not, is a member of this permanent body— the alumni. Alumni organizations in the colleges and universities, therefore, are not new things. They have existed so far back that the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. Then the Alumni Association of the University is no new project. It was definitely organized June 4, 1889. It was organized primarily for social purposes, and not until a few years ago did it have a new birth, bringing forth a realization of its higher duty, the bringing to the service of the University the very best that sober judgment of an awakened and enlightened alumni body is capable of producing. The Alumni Association, therefore, stands for everything that is best for the life of its Alma Mater and is endeavoring to make its influence reach that which makes for moral strength in the training of men and women and which emphasizes service as the great end of all training. The men on the faculty—the real men of the University, who made the most lasting impression on us—are not the men who taught us how to make a living, but the men whose association with things worth while made them capable of teaching us how to live. You, the Class of '17, who are about to be alumni, have gone to State and through it. You have graduated, accepting what she has had to offer, proud of your accomplishments and to be numbered among her alumni. Now you are beginning to realize that whereas you have been college boys and girls for four short years, you are to be college men and women for life. The world will judge your Alma Mater as an institution of training in part at least through you. If the University, then, has nurtured you through so many trials and tribulations of college days to manhood and womanhood, it is not enough that you in your passage from the old college halls go out and become useful citizens—you should be loyal, enthusiastic, and generous in your endeavors and seek every opportunity to help make the University an ideal abode for the youth of Kentucky, a place of beauty, of grace, of culture, a center of elements and influences that go to make up what is finest and noblest in human character. This duty and responsibility can be best conserved and rendered by the united efforts of each and every alumnus through some alumni organization and the Alumni Association. (44) Our Presidents THE Golden Jubilee of the University of Kentucky was celebrated October 14, 1916, marking the fiftieth milestone of the path of educational service to the State and Nation for this, our Alma Mater. During these fifty years of fruitful endeavor the reins of government have been in the hands of but five men—(1) John Augustus Williams, 1866-1867; (2) Joseph Desha Pickett, 1867-1869; (3) James Kennedy Patterson, 1869-1910; (4) James Garrard White, 1910-1911, and (5) Henry Stites Barker, 1911----------. John Augustus Williams was the first President of the University, then known as the Agricultural and Mechanical College, which had been formed by the consolidation of Transylvania University and Kentucky University. Through the unselfish devotion of his brother-in-law, John B. Bowman, whose memory should be honored by every citizen of our State, the consolidation of the two universities into the Agricultural and Mechanical College was brought about and the nucleus of the present great insti- tution established. The courses of study offered were in the College of Arts and Science, Law, and Bible Study, which colleges were located in Morrison Chapel on the grounds of Transylvania University and the College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts, located on the Old Woodlands Estate and the Academy located in the Old Tilford mansion on the Woodlands Estate also. There were three graduates who received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1867, and these were the only graduates during President Williams’ tenure. Mr. Williams resigned as President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1867, and was succeeded by Joseph Desha Pickett, who was President Pro Tempore until 1869, and he was from 1878 to 1879 Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy and Modern Languages. Professor James Kennedy Patterson, The Grand Old Man, now President Emeritus of the University, next gathered the threads of government together and remained at the head of the University from 1869 to 1910. Upon President Patterson and John B. Bowman should rest the honor of having established, on a firm basis, the future of a university for Kentucky, which was Mr. Bowman’s work, and the watchful care and diligent defense of that University during its early days of immaturity and weakness, which was the loving and unselfish work performed by President Patterson. Previous to his taking over the duties of President, President Patterson was teacher of Latin, Language and Literature in the College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts. During President Patterson’s administration many changes occurred, the most notable of which was the moving of the institution to its present location, called the City Park site, in March, 1882, and the completion of the main building, the heating plant and the old dormitory, at whose dedication “Marse Henry Watterson delivered the dedicatory address. In January, 1910, President Patterson resigned and became President Emeritus of the University. James Garrard White, formerly Vice-President and Dean of men, then became President Pro Tempore and acted in that capacity until the election of Henry Stites Barker as President, February 3, 1910, taking up his official duties in January, 1911. Coincident almost with the election of President Barker was the placing of the various colleges under the direction of deans. Miss Anna J. Hamilton became the first Dean of Women, and Prof. Melcher the Dean of Men. Prof. Joseph H. Kastle, an alumnus and former professor of chemistry, was made Dean of the College of Agriculture in 1912, and in 1913 Director of the Experiment Station, succeeding Prof. M. A. Scovell, who died. The Department of Journalism was established, with Enoch Grehan as head, in 1914, and a University commons, or “mess hall,” where the students could obtain board at cost, was established the same year. The fifty years that have passed have been years of struggle against difficulties. The men who have led in this struggle have been the real benefactors of our State and University. It was eminently fitting that we should honor their memory and the work of their hands in the Golden Jubilee celebration that was held October 13-14, 1916. Christian Middleton Daugherty Downing The Golden Jubilee BY ANITA CRABBE THE year 1916-17 has not by any means been an unusual one for the University of Kentucky, but on the contrary has marked a time of celebration and jubilee in its history since this fall saw the golden crown of fifty years’ existence hover over its campus. In commemoration of the golden anniversary of the University, October 1 3 and 1 4 were set aside for homecoming days, when all former students from far and near might come back to pay respects to their Alma Mater, now the foremost educational institution in the State. Fifty years has meant much to the University of Kentucky. It was founded in 1 866 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, with a fifty-acre campus, one dormitory, the house of the Commandant, and one classroom building. The dawn of 1916 gave us an opportunity to realize the fruits of half a century of innumerable ups and downs and to enjoy the unmistakable progress that has been made in every college of the University. In place of the three buildings that then graced the campus, this anni- versary saw Kentucky the proud possessor of twelve buildings on the campus, a farm of two hundred and fifty acres, an Experiment Station that would do credit to any institution, and offering ten distinct courses to approximately thirteen hundred students. It was to SENIORS commemorate this growth that brought hundreds of Alumni back to the scene where their education had been attained. Although only two days were set apart for the Jubilee, the occasion proved too big for such a limited time, so the whole week-end was one of celebration. Alumni repre- senting every branch of the business world came from almost every state in the Union to assist in the jollification. The exercises, although scheduled to begin Friday afternoon, October 1 3, actually began that morning with a rally of the students in chapel before dismissal for the celebration. Here, amid the cheers and songs that were to imbue the football team with necessary spirit for the Vanderbilt game, Alumni who had had experience on Kentucky s gridiron rose to the occasion to tell how they had done it.” Immortals of ’98” and members of practically every clan that had graduated from the University were seated on the rostrum. In the afternoon came the annual tug-of-war between the Sophomore and Freshmen, and when the younger boys pulled the more experi- enced opponents through the icy waters of Clifton Pond the cheers from the crowded banks were indicative that few of the Alumni had forgotten that they ‘‘had been there, too.” On Friday a banquet was held at the Phoenix for Alumni and at Patterson Hall for Alumni. The toasts, largely of a retrospective character, were responded to by prominent Alumni, both men and women. Following the banquets, a reception furnished ample opportunity for “old grads” to get together and talk about ‘‘how times have changed,” and ‘‘do you remember this, that, and the other!” (50) Saturday, the 14th, was the big day of the Jubilee. In the morning came the under- graduate parade, which was undoubtedly the biggest thing of its kind ever gotten up by any State institution. A prize of one hundred dollars had been offered for the class making the cleverest showing, the judges being chosen from the Alumni, and the compe- tition was unusually strong. The prize, however, went to the Junior Class, which under- took to give the evolution of the University in five periods of ten years each. This undoubtedly made its appeal to the Alumni since all the popular landmarks of the Uni- versity were represented, such as He-Pat, ‘She-Pat,” “The Preps,” “Aunt Nancy,” “George Washington,” and the “Immortals of ’98.” The other three classes were also clever in their impersonations. The Freshmen came out probably two hundred and fifty strong, representing children in short trousers and dresses, each carrying an apple and a stick of candy. Behind them came the Sopho- mores as a circus parade. Clowns, black-faced artists, bareback riders, gaudily dressed “hayseeds” and Charlie Chaplin all found their places in the parade. Bringing up the rear were the Seniors, each completely covered by a pasteboard diploma with its ribbon and seal. The whole effect was striking, and with about eight hundred of the student body represented, the parade was certainly a credit to the University. Following the parade came the Jubilee speeches in chapel, with President Barker presiding, and Kentucky’s foremost citizens filling the rostrum. The principal address was delivered by President Emeritus James K. Patterson. For forty-five years he was President of the University, and no other citizen in Kentucky was in any way so well qualified to commemorate this institution’s golden birthday. No other man knows the JUNIORS (51) r-T r history, not only of the University, but of Lexington, as does President Patterson, since he has devoted so many years of his life to the actual study of it. He was indeed an impressive figure as he delivered an address that told the story of his life work, the University. After the Jubilee addresses honorary degrees were conferred on the following prominent men: Henry Watterson, Coleman Dupont, James Lane Allen, George Stevens, Milton Smith, Charles Schwab, Fertinand Brossaert, Richard Crossfield, W. A. Can- field, M. B. Adams, James K. Patterson, Charles Dabney, J. L. Clark, Thomas Hunt Morgan, W. H. Frost, F. A. Vanderlip, Champ Clark, and Charles Brock. The Alumni presented the University with a portrait of President Patterson, in honor of the occasion. At noon the faculty entertained the student body and Alumni with a barbecue, which was held on the front campus and presided over by white-capped girls of the College of Home Economics. Immediately thereafter, the entire crowd marched to Stoll Field, where dedicatory exercises were held. Stoll Field was given to the University of Ken- tucky for an athletic field by Richard Stoll, who has always been one of the most loyal supporters of his Alma Mater, and this gift was only one of many testimonies of his loyalty. The dedicatory tablet reads: STOLL FIELD IN HONOR OF RICHARD C. STOLL, ALUMNUS, TRUSTEE, AND BENEFACTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY OCTOBER FOURTEENTH, MCMXVI Among the speakers were Governor A. O. Stanley, Major John Geary, U. S. A., Charles Brock of Denver, Colorado, and President Dabney of the University of Cincinnati. The football game between Vanderbilt and the University of Kentucky was the event of the afternoon. Unfortunately Kentucky went down to a bad defeat, although not an inglorious one, but the game was a good one, and Kentucky’s team was no less a credit to her than every other part of the Jubilee had been. Saturday night was turned over to various amusements. Practically every fraternity entertained with a house dance or a smoker in honor of Alumni, and every other organi- zation or branch of college actvity gave itself over to a fitting close to a resplendent Jubilee. Fifty Years Touch of sunshine, louch of shadow, Rainbow smiles and flitting tears; Life and love and youth exultant, Age but mellowed with the years; Portraits in the frame of Time, Gold and gray—October’s haze— Come; we’ll paint the picture over; Memories of other days! Wine and waywardness and wassail, “Heaven,” music and the dance; Patt Hall and the lawn where dimly Shone the warm lights of romance. Wondrous ladies, sweet, appealing; Satin, lavender and lace; Whispers lost in sighs that told Truest love in other days. Serenades beneath the window. White parades along the street. And the screechers in the bleachers When the Wildcat killed his meat. Cannon law and politics, Seniors with the mustache craze, Mathematics, chem and physics— Bitter-sweets of other days. Years of trial; years of triumph; Years of hope and high endeavor. Paint the picture—what a canvas— Life and love and youth forever! Fifty years—Kentucky calls you; Yours to censure or to praise. Welcome, welcome home again, To the joys of other days. W. S. (56) Alas, ’tis true I have gone here and there, And made myself a motley to the view.” THE critics may deny that Shakespeare’s Sonnets are autobiographical, but these lines satisfactorily prove to the layman that before Will became “judicious” he tried to “make the unskillful laugh.” At any rate, it was the unskillful rather than Sir Herbert Tree, with his un-Shakespearean Henry VIII., who felt the play impulse of Shakespeare’s art on the occasion of the Tercentenary of Shakespeare’s death. Shakes- peare became popular. Every college and university, every town, gladly provided its “pageant-silver.” Every person offered himself as an actor, and because there were no Hippolytas in the audience to cry: “This is the silliest stuff that ever I heard,” the old order, “insufficient personnes, eithor in connying voice, or personne, to discharge, ammove and avoide,” was held in obeyance. The imagination (of the play impulse) was there to “amend them.” The University of Kentucky turned bottom and undertook to present four Shakes- pearean scenes to greet “Good Queen Bess” with “premeditated welcomes.” As for the actors, who would insinuate that they shivered and looked pale, made periods in the midst of sentences, throttled their practiced accent in their fear, and in conclusion dumbly broke off? At an early hour in the afternoon the campus was filled with “groundlings.” Eliz- abethan maidens served them nuts and apples for a tuppence. “Oiez,” shouted the her- alds, “we command of Ye peple that no man mak hynderying of Ye procession!” 1 here- upon a crowd of robustuous periwig-pated fellows, rude mechanicals, the lovers of Ferdi- nand and Miranda, Orlando and Rosiland, Florizel and Perdita, with others, that made an “all-star cast,” followed Queen Bess from the Gymnasium to a cluster of trees on the campus that made their little theatre a veritable “Wooden O.” “Oiez,” shouted the heralds, “We commaund of Ye peple yat no man mak distorbaunce of Ye play.” Thereupon the Shakespearean drama was performed with a fine appreciation of the fact that the impulse to play is at least the origin of art. There was a May Pole and fairies to trip it lightly on the toe. The real and the unreal were there to make it a dream. Altogether it was a wonderful demonstration of Shakespeare’s genius that could pro- ject his characters three hundred years before a sophisticated audience that melted into a holiday mood to be won at their strutting and bellowing and sighing like a furnace. There is too much sacerdotalism in the worship of Shakespeare. 1 o Miss Jewell of the English Department is entirely due this restoration of Shakespeare to a popular appre- ciation on the campus.

I. E. E.; A. S. M. E.; Watt Society. “M 2 Os” came from Middletown, a city of six people and a traffic cop. Our friend foretells a dance by wearing a skull cap over his well-oiled locks. Newland was taken into the Tau Beta Pi’s In his Junior year, which ranks him with the upper one-eighth of his class. His heavy hitting was the pride of the Varsity nine. BLANCHE WEIMAN, A.B....................................................................Lexington Vice-President of Class (3). “A smile that turns the sunny side of the heart on all the world, as if herself did win by what she lavished on an open mart.” Blanche came into the forelight when she was elected Vice-President of our class in her Junior year. Since then we have known what an industrious and easy-going girl she is. CARL A. WICKLUND, B.S.Agr...........................................................Central City Agricultural Society; Choral Club; Six-One Club; Biological Club; Glee Club. “Wick” is known most widely perhaps by his ability as a fiddler. His home county is not noted for Its agricultural products, but for its underlying resources. So is he not noted for external show, but for his latent ability and natural resourcefulness. CLAVIS ROY WILKEY, B.S.Agr.................................................................Dixon Agricultural Society; Democratic Club. Wilkey pursued the course of mechanical engineer for the first year with us before he discovered that he wanted to be a farmer. He is quiet, unassuming, constructive and efficient. He is an apostle of a more beautiful, more productive Kentucky. (90) The Divine Comedy of the Class of ’ 1 7 HE night was one not long ago when the moon lighted up this earth so brightly that it seemed like day. After gazing from my window, wondering at the cause of the celestial brightness, I began to worry the same old worry that had pursued me so long. I sat there pondering over what I was going to do with the Senior Class Prophecy of 1917. This had been wished on me, an unromantic soul, and now the last of February had come and nothing, not even a scratch, had been scribbled. I was worried, as you may imagine, and in fact I felt almost overpowered by the weight of the responsibility. I thought of the past weeks, of the times when I had literally begged the Muse to come to me, and of how she had always refused. Here I was, nothing done, and the last of February with me. In desperation I made one last appeal to the God of Pen- men on this night, offering her all kinds of sacrifices. While deep in meditation, suddenly from the stillness of the night I heard a knock- ing, faint at first, then growing louder. I nodded drowsily, listened, heard it once again, then said: “Come in!” The door opened inch by inch. I stared, seeing nothing, won- dering who my visitor could be. All at once a faint, elusive something brushed by me, as soft as the drifted snow, and a light appeared which dazzled me. A tender voice whispered: “Follow me.” Without a moment’s hesitation, for I would have followed that voice to the end of the world, I submissively said: “Lead on, and I will follow thee.” We floated high on fleecy clouds, over meadows, brooks and hills, and then as we neared a high mountain I saw for the first time my celestial guide. My surprise was great, for it was Dante—Dante, the wonderful! I bowed my head in reverence while he spoke to me in accents sweet and low: “Child, my restless soul has watched you during your worry over the burden which the Class of 1917 has placed upon your shoulders. I thought that I might be of service to you, for since my death I have been given access to all the realms beyond the grave; yea, even to Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. I gained permission to lead you through these realms, and reveal to you the souls of all the Class of 1917 as they shall be after they have shuffled off the mortal coil. So have no fear, but follow me, and I will be your protector and your guide.” Completely overcome, I gladly followed the celestial one, stumbling, faltering, hes- itating, groping. The light, so bright, still dazzled me and I could hardly see. We neared a rushing river, beyond which yawned a mammoth cavern, over which I read this inscription: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” I shuddered and scarce could move, until Dante, stretching forth his hand, grasped my fingers. He leading, I following; ’twas thus we entered Hell. Just within the gate I saw a vast plain crowded with spirits, all confusedly following each other about. Here I saw the souls of those of ’ 1 7 who had done little of great moment in life, never winning for themselves or for their Alma Mater either praise or blame. Much to my sorrow, I saw quite a number of my classmates in this weird and desolate place. What puzzled me was that they were not in Hell proper, but just outside its boundaries. My good guide, Dante, explained it to me thus: “They were chased out from Heaven to keep from impairing its beauty, and the deep Hell will not receive them, because the wicked in the deeper abysses would delight in ridiculing them.” It wrung my heart with anguish to gaze upon the spirits in this place, the spirits of Stanley Engle, Benjamin Foster, Myra Gay, “Doc” Her, Blanche Wieman, Frank Johnson, Margaret McCarty, Clyde Hubble, Silas Stokes, William Rochester, Roscoe Back, (91) Byron Cisco, Richard Green, Carl Wicklund, and—much to my surprise, did I see our bright-headed Kate Hiett amid this motley crew of spirits. “But, come,” said Dante, “or we cannot complete our journey in time for you to return with your message to your classmates.” We needs must ferry across the Acheron, the river of sorrow, in order to enter the first circle of Hell. Can you imagine my horror, when here I found the departed souls of our once beloved Home Ecs! Yes, my eyes did not deceive me! There they were! “Shorty” Geisel, “Granny” Purnell, “Johnnie” Cramer and Jessie Florence. My tears fell thick and fast, because I fully expected to see them enjoying the eternal blessings of Heaven. I paused; my breath seemed to leave me; my heart stopped beating for a moment; but finally I summoned courage to ask my kind friend why these were there. “You find them in Hell,” he said, “because they did no great service for mankind. True, they learned to cook and sew, but, ah! many were the blunders they made in mixing foods. Further along in our journey you will meet the souls of several who died of acute indigestion, caused by the products of the hands of these, your wonderful Home Ecs!” They were dear to me while yet in the flesh, and I desired to know what they had done before their death. I inquired of each of them their activities after graduation, but only Jessie would answer me. The others hung their spirit heads in shame and distress and turned away while Jessie told me of their fates. Thus she began: “ ‘Shorty, the Vampire,’ who had spent a great deal of time while in school bluffing the Dean, tricking the men, and blowing about everything she did and owned, established a grand and hunky, gorgeous lunchroom in a school at Maysville. All she did the rest of her life was to serve sandwiches, oyster soup and sour pickles to the starving school kids, and to make life miserable in general for the head waiter in her lunchroom, McClarty Harbison. “Granny’s story is shorter, but not much sweeter. Poor Granny soon lost her religion after she left school. The presidency of the Y. W. C. A., with its ever-existing cry of ‘Be perfect,’ had been too much for her, so she spent her time wandering over the earth seeking rest for her soul, but with no success. At last her tattered soul was called from earth to spend eternity in Hell. “Johnnie Cramer wore herself out having a good time. You notice how thin her spirit is. That’s because she was terribly slender when she died, so her spirit didn’t have much of a frame to cling to.” I heaved a sigh of anguish, then hurried with my guide to the second circle. Here are punished those swayed by the lust for power. Here are those who envy their fellows possessing wealth and fame. The Civils of my one-time class were among the sufferers here. No hope ever comforts them; neither hope of repose nor of less pain. I asked each in turn what he had done in life and each gave me reply. Waddy I rye, the proud Tau Beta Pi man, had wed a brunette maiden, whose name begins with L and ends with U. “Babe” Adams, the detective, who was especially interested in Millers- burg Female College, became the Mayor of Mt. Carmel m later life. Fatty Burgin, “Fish” Fishback, and “Rip” Burnley had lived an uneventful life. Claurance Gaugh, the man of unbelievable experiences, became a globe trotter and landed in Murray. “Hop” Hopkins, of Henderson, shore nuf, tried to dam the Ohio, failed at it, took interest in “the Bakery” and later was pilot on a towboat. Well, doggone, if Chief Hill didn’t become a commandant in a military school, take interest in the chon prac- tice,” and try to do everything! Jim Roney, the witty biologist and stiong advocate of the teaching profession, passed away at 12 P.M. engineering a pick handle in a coal mine (93) at the tender age of 25. The Yiddisher cyclone. Fried, entered the noble career of demonstrating the “New Life” shoulder braces, exhibiting his Herculean strength and wonderful complexion to all persons passing McAdams Morford’s drug store, thus satisfying his curiosity about everybody’s business. “Lazy Skeets” Rawlings, the one- time bull fighter and grafter, fell down from his lofty calling as a civil engineer and became a bartender. Sorrowfully I turned away from these distressing scenes and, following my celestial guide, descended into the third circle, that of the gluttonous. Here I found the Ags of the Class of 1917. Truly they were well placed in the circle of the gluttonous, for during life they had made away with all the goods that Mother Earth would yield them, and became more voracious than the swine of the fields. Here I saw the spirits of “Prep” Gordon, “Boss” Hays, Graddy, Ronald Hutchinson, “don’t ye know,” J. E. McMur- trey, Gordon Nance, “Chicken” Park, “Miss Vivian” Pfingstag, “Doc” LaMaster, J. P. Ricketts, Ray Wilkey and W. T. Clarke. I received little response to my ques- tioning, but gained these few meager details: “Boss” Hays had married a cornfed, and clerked in a ladies’ shoe store the rest of his life. “Hutch” Hutchinson was killed in battle, against the Germans, much to the distress of the entire British Isle. McMurtrey occupied his days with patenting a process of getting through exams without work or study. Poor Gordon Nance was killed by the Bull. John Peter Ricketts found a missionary’s life too peaceful, so became a Texas cowboy. C. R. Smith retired with a fat bank account and no financial worry after the 1917 Annual had gone to press, continued his interest in Martins and became Lord High Mayor of Somerset. It grieves me much to tell you what became of one, dear old lank Frank Street. His fate was saddest of all the Ags. He died in an insane asylum, soon after graduation, as the direct result of the editorship of the 1917 Ken- tuckian. As my friend Dante urged me on to the fourth circle, I wondered what had become of C. W. Bennett, Lawrence Bradford, Homer Combest, Lambert, Tom Mc- Gowan, Julian Hodges, Joe McMurtrey, Charles Matherly, Earl Mayhew, “Pete” Owsley, George Page, “Banty” Rankin, Bill Sutton and James Wesson. “Many of the spirits of these you’ve named to me have never appeared in any of the realms beyond the gates of death. Perhaps they hang suspended between these regions and the world. A very few will you find in Purgatory or Heaven. Bide your time; you will see them later. But come, let us continue our journey into the fourth circle.” ’Twas thus Dante led me further. The spirits in that region in life were prodigal and avaricious, adhering to no laws, but always doing what they pleased and when they pleased. Among the spirits in that region I saw the Mechanicals of our class. Some were so blase that they cared little about the tortures they were enduring. Some answered the questions I put to them and others ignored me entirely. Among the latter were “Smith” Aaron, “Parson” Davies, “Laughing” Ted Borders, “Bugs” Eimer, “Hawkshaw” Horine, McClanahan, innocent “Piggy” Scott, whose spirit was bald-headed; “Tink” Penn, and “Fatty” Evans. As I sorrowfully gazed upon these silent Mechanical spirits, I heard a lot of talk that reminded me of the line of “gab” that “Fulla” Waters used to reel off while at U. K. My ears did not deceive me, for there he stood, telling his fellow spirit comrades for the millionth time how great he was on earth, and that surely some mistake had been made at his death, for he surely should have been sent to Heaven. He, who was noted for his busy mouth, pride in his good looks, and campustry, always interested in himself, became “king of the world,” but how or why no one could ever determine. His influence was so wonder- ful that a new word had to be coined to describe his gigantic wonders. But why did he land in Hell? While he was giving the discourse on his fame while on earth, the spirits about became so disgusted that each in turn gave him a lick, so that he almost wished he had never said a word. “Lord Chesterfield” Pendleton, “Dutch” Schrader, “Doc” Rice, “Goose” McNamara, and “Buck” Lee nearly wiped up the infernal floor with him, as each in turn told of his wonderful achievements. “Puss” Pendleton, the greatest “Sigma Nut” U. K. ever knew, hired out as a chauffeur for a man who traveled across country, and our “Henry Ford the Second” simply dropped out of the machine when he struck Caspar, Wyoming, pitching his tent there for life. “I. P. A.” Robertson had spent so much time and money rushing the ladies and writing them anonymous letters that he became a real woman hater and died of a “warped” heart while yet very young. “Cunny” Crutcher, the famous football star and air dispenser, was still living up to his reputation as a grumbler, for as I passed him on my way to the next circle I heard him say: “Let us expedite this matter, etc.! What the Hell’s the use of being so blamed cheerful about it?” Ah, my listener, you wonder what became of “Duck” Drake, “Bill” Moore, “Monty” Montgomery, “Dave” Springer, and “Schwitzer” Smiser. For some reason unknown to me, they did not fall into Hell, when they were asked to leave the world forever. “Monty” and “Schwitzer,” it seems, were able to “pull the wool” over St. Peter’s eyes when they passed beyond the grave, for I later saw them in Heaven. “Dave,” “Bill” and “Duck” were not so successful, because old St. Peter happened to know that they indulged in dancing and swearing while on the terrestrial ball, hence Purgatory was the best they could expect. I would have tarried longer, but as my guide urged me to hasten I humbly followed him to the fifth circle, where the wrathful and gloomy are punished. Ah, poor souls! Here I found our three beloved Chemistry Majors! Chemistry had had a bad effect on their dispositions when they still dwelt among men, for each became so mean and despic- able that a sorry fate was theirs after death. Elizabeth Kastle was blown up in an explosion, caused by her own carelessness, and Willard Cramer mourned himself to death, because it was he who had attracted her attention away from her work, resulting in the tragedy. E. A. Taylor, calm and placid though he had been, also fell victim to the giant Wrath and passed away in a fit of anger. The next region we visited was that where all Infidels and Heretics were tormented. The souls of many members of the Class of 1917 were in this place of dreadful punish- ment. Here I found most of the Arts and Science students, and the only reason Dante could give me was that they had studied so much philosophy and read so many books of destructive criticism regarding religion that most of them died as heretics. Senator Crum, “Walking Textbook” Kelly, Clarence Clark, Wflliam Dotson, Clarence Harney, “Chick” Hatter, and Webb, the “would-be” parson, were in that place paying up for their defiance of religion while yet in the flesh. But, ah, it grieved me much to see one of our girls there, for it was my sad luck to discern the tattered spirit of her who was once Nelle Crawford. Nellie used to sleep away her Sundays, so she was paying for it in Hell. Huddled up in a small heap, I saw the spirit of Mary Hamilton, and naturally wondered why she had been sent to Hell. Poor creature! Pa Hamilton, head of the famous “Stripes’ ’ family, lost her mind shortly after graduation as a result of being Y. W. C. A. treasurer, and even as I passed her I heard her cry out in an insane shriek: Why don’t you pay your dues, Marie Becker! I ve been waiting here in torment many years and at last you are in my grasp; now I shall-—. Poor Mary! Insane live people are awful enough, but a crazy ghost beyond the grave leads the most pitiful existence imag- inable. Tears did I shed as I passed her by and made my way to the next circle. But you wonder why the rest of the Arts and Science Seniors were not here. Be patient with (95) me and you shall soon see them in other scenes of punishment or in glory. Next we entered the circle of the Violent, wherein are tormented such as do violence against their neighbors, violence to themselves or violence against Art and Nature. Sev- eral of the Education majors were here, because after long suffering as teachers they became so ferocious that all people shunned them. Herbert Schaber, Mary Stagg, “A. B. C. Alphabet” Crawford, Elizabeth Crow, and Mattie McMurtrey belonged to the class of the generally violent spirits. ‘‘Charity Faith” Blair had been violent to Nature, in that she worked poor mother earth till she fairly screamed, trying to raise a bushel of beans on a square foot of ground. Poor Miriam Horine’s ghost was in torment there also, because she had slept nearly all of life away. She loved sleep so much that she never even thought that Death would be more than sweet sleep. She believed that ‘‘To die, to sleep no more—.” But, alas, poor soul, as soon as she parted the mortal life, she realized that ‘to sleep, perchance to dream,” was more true, for there she was, giving restitution for her indolence. Martine Ratican spent her life in trying to mutilate all German dictionaries and books of literature that came into her grasp. She died of a severe toothache, caused by too much candy, and too earnest delight in “Christy” pictures. In the midst of my interviews with these spirit folk, I heard something that sounded like a political speech in a Senior class meeting. Turning to see whence came the sound, R. C. Scott gave me a subtle wink with his apparitional eye and continued his discourse on class dues. Now I turned me to the place where those are chastised who have done violence to others. In the group I saw two of my classmates, Harry Abell and Reuben Pearlman. I need say nothing more, except that we all remember they were Pre-Medicals in College! “Come quickly, friend,” whispered Dante, seizing me by the arm, “and see what happens to fraudulent sinners. There shall you find many of your classmates, much to my sorrow as well as yours.” Eager to see what the eighth circle was. I descended with him into it. Whom do you suppose I found among the victims in that dread place? The Lawyers of your illustrious and august class were doomed to eternal punishment there, according to their sin. In the compartment of the Hypocrites I found the souls of William Arnold, Henry Coleman, Lee Moore, and Jim Norris. Among the robbers in this circle I saw Tom Creekmore, Kit Carson Ellswick, Frank Ricketson and Jokust Northcutt. The woman hater, J. D. V. Chamberlain, and Clifford Dotson, the seem- ingly righteous creature, were punished with the imposters and counterfeiters. Paul Gos- sage, the giant; Edward Frazier, and Jesse Gregory had meted to them the suffering that is given to sowers of scandal. Lena Phillips, the ambitious-to-be-a-county-judge, and Orie Fowler were enduring the same agonies in the region of the evil counsellors. Could it be possible that not a single lawyer had escaped Hell? Yes, such was the case. With a heavy heart, and compassionate feeling for these poor souls, I turned my steps toward the last circle of Hell to see if others of my classmates were spending eternity there. The ninth and last region of the inferno was that created for traitors. I wondered why I should find the Miners of ’1 7 there, but it was not mine to reason why. Perhaps because they were accustomed to being deep down in the earth while yet living in the flesh, Fate decided that they would feel “more at home” in the deepest pit of Hell. Louis Ware and Cal Schirmer were helping each other to bear their punishments. Bill Hume, the advocate of schooners, and “Slippery” Eyl, who had been interested in wid- ows, were indulging in a spiritual fist fight as I passed them by. Harold Hines, the Y. W. C. A. teacher, and “Pink” Jones, the professional hobo, seemed to be almost enjoying the infernal regions. But what had become of “Burgoo King Schwant? Tis another surprise to come later! Alas! in my journey through Hell I found most of my classmates, so it was with sullen spirit that I mounted up a hidden road with Dante, wondering whose spirits I would find in Purgatory and Paradise. ’Twas thus I completed my journey through Hell. “If ye have tears, prepare to shed them now.” It grieved me much to find so few in happier existence than Hell, but all blame falls to the spirits themselves, because they lived such fruitless existences while on earth. Those are sent to Purgatory who have a slight streak of ambition to improve them- selves. You may not agree with this when you hear which Seniors I found there. In that region where avarice is cleansed, I saw the soul of “Burgoo King” Schwant. 1 rue, he had been wicked, else he would have gone to Heaven, but being an extreme spend- thrift is not considered by the judges at the gate of death as great a sin as many others. He had a chance of getting into Heaven, if he would repent for having spent the dollar he brought to college with him! One Ag had escaped to Hell, but was doing heavy repentance in Purgatory because of his besetting sin—flirting with nurses. However, while on earth, and early in life, he grew weary of Lexington and went back to the farm, because he liked the “roads” closer to home. Yes, Lawrence Bradford was being puri- fied in Purgatory, and when I asked St. Peter at the gates of Paradise if “Brad” had any chance of ever enjoying celestial bliss, he nodded his saintly old head in affirmation and said in a musical voice: “He is improving all the time, and soon he shall be ready for Paradise.” One other member of our class did I find in Purgatory. ’Twas the spirit of one formerly known as Helen Burkholder. She, too, had a chance to get to Heaven some day, but since she was in the seventh and last circle she had a long and tedious journey before her ere she would sight the pearly gates of the Celestial Realm. I did not need to ask why she was there, for I could read it on her spent face. She who doted on “beating against the men” while in school continued in her pursuit of one to love her for years and years after graduation, but all turned aside just as the college men had. At the age of fifty she died of a broken heart, cracked by many failures. Her life had ever been one of “single cursedness.” She was all alone in the circle of the over- enthusiastic, which made her suffering worse. Ah, would that her soul might have found a mate there! As I was leaving Purgatory I heard a wonderful, flowery speech, uttered by a spirit in the circle where the proud are purged. I stepped nearer to see if it might be one of my classmates. It was the one-time “Invincible Bill” Shinnick, no longer invincible, because Purgatory held him in check. He was telling, for his own benefit, I suppose, for there was no spirit nearby to listen, in an indignant manner what had been his fate on earth. One hour after he had received his diploma a number of students in the Univer- sity seized him, took him to police court, and before one could have drawn a deep breath he was pul in the pen for life on general principles. The honor and glory of life were his no longer, and punishment for his many offenses were given him one after another. Libels in the Kernel, still worse ones in the annual, politics all during his college course; in fact, all things he had done were held as evidence against him. So he died in the pen, only to be further punished in Purgatory. But Dante urged me once again to hasten. Eagerly I followed him to Heaven, to find out who had gotten there. As I passed beyond the gate into Heaven, the first spirit that met my gaze was that of Homer Combest. I wondered how he had gained admit- tance to Heaven, and inquired of good old St. Peter. His story was like this: When Combest died, his spirit asked St. Peter for admission to Heaven. The old saint asked if he had been through Purgatory, whereupon Combest answered: “No, old man; but (98) worse did I suffer on earth.” “How so?” said St. Peter. Combest replied: “Well, I married Clara—and—after two weeks of misery, I got a divorce.” “Enter into the kingdom of the happy and deserving,” said St. Peter; “you have been through Purgatory.” The only other souls I found in Heaven were those of “Aunt Jane” Dickey and Marion Conditt, who had married on earth, and served as missionaries in one of the South Sea Islands. Lilly Pure Games, Nancy Innes, Homer Perry and Bart Peak were there also. “Lilly Pure” was enjoying Paradise with her dear, sweet E. B., and took no part in heavenly activities. Homer Perry had slipped in without St. Peter’s knowledge. A pretty woman’s smile always got old St. Peter’s goat, so when our fair Nancy Innes made her way through the crowd of spirits begging admission to Heaven, her smile vanquished the good old saint and he eagerly said: “Come in, fair one, to eternal joy. Heaven sure would be great if it contained more ladies like you.” As I turned to leave Paradise, I heard “Aunt Jane,” Marion Urite and Bart having a concert of Y. M. and Y. W. songs, with each one trying to sing a solo. The combination was most peculiar, and I must admit it did not sound celestial to my ears. It worried me so much that I urged my good friend Dante to lead me away from that awful place, which no longer seemed like Paradise. Presently I found myself sitting upright, gazing out of the window. What did it all mean? A few minutes before darkness was over the earth, and all was shrouded in the mantle of night. Now the sun was bathing all outdoors in golden glory. Suddenly I realized that it was real daybreak and that my journey in the Hereafter had all been a dream. Marie C. Becker, Class Prophet. (99) The Old Water Mill Twas grinding day at the Old Water Mill, But holiday with me. For I knew ere I reached the foot of the hill And heard the voice of the happy rill. The miller’s beautiful child was there That wore the tresses of sun-lit hair And smile of witchery; And the twittering swallows awhirl in the air Told in their ecstacy That Rachel, the Golden Daffodil, Was blooming again by the Old Water Mill. Together we crossed the moss-covered log That spans the old mill race, And heard through the mists and rising fog The boom of the dam, the croak of the frog That wakes on the banks of the glinting stream, The violet tranced in her winter dream. Where lights and shadows lace: And the cowslip, like the meteor’s gleam, Darts from her hiding place, While the cataracts leap in their haste to fill The floats of the wheel at the Old Water Mill. We sit by the dam of the placid stream And watch the whirl and churn Of the pouring floods that bubble and stream And glitter and flash in the bright sunbeam, While steadily rolls the dripping wheel That slowly grinds the farmers’ meal, Who restless wait their turn; But the lights in the miller’s face reveal Never the least concern, Who takes his toll, and whistles until The hopper is drained at the Old Water Mill. Today we passed where the Old Water Mill Had stood in the long ago. But the cataracts leap no more on the hill, And the boom of the roaring dam is still, For the gleaming stream in its grief went dry When the ruthless hand of Art passed by And laid the Old Mill low; And the violets, cold in death, now lie Wrapped in the glistening snow; And the biting air is crisp and chill Around the ruins of the Old Water Mill. And now we sit by the River of Time And gaze at the waters below, But its brink is covered by frost and rime, And we hear on the wind a muffled chime Proclaiming the end of a brief sojourn; Yet the floods of life still whirl and churn As the currents ebb and flow. By the rolling wheel we wait our turn, Calm, but ready to go! The hopper is drained, but unmoved still, The Miller who grinds in Time’s Water Mill.

SOPHOMORE ( Sophomore Claj THE history of the Sophomore Class corresponds to the histories of former Sophomore Classes in one respect, and in a very im- portant respect at that, namely, that the success of the Tug-of- War lay with the Freshmen. But what of that? We, ourselves, were Freshmen at one time. The Sophomore Wildcats were probably one of the best class teams ever run at the University. The team was easily the champion in the class games and have contributed some of the best men that have ever appeared on a Wildcat team. i SOPHOMORE CLASS more Class History The Sophomore Class showing in the Jubilee parade, held October 1 4, was of such a caliber that every member of the class could well feel proud. Although we did not win the $ 1 00 prize, we made the other classes nervous for a remarkable space of time until the judges could give their decision. Our girls and boys have taken a prominent part in all school activ- ities, and it is evident that the Class of ’19, on its march to Seniorhood, will surpass all others in seeking the common goal. FRESHMAN CLA.‘ Freshman Class MUCH the same as usual, school opened in September with a large Freshman Class. The unusual in the incident was the exceptionally large number of good-looking and attractive girls that enrolled in the Class of ’20. Things moved along very smoothly while the first effort was being made to remove the “green.” But the other classes, not wishing to seem remiss in any of their duties, quickly developed many tonsorial artists who were not afraid of the dark. Though working under somewhat of a handicap, few Freshmen have made complaint on the grounds of neg- lect of duty. The Tug-of-War, one of the big events of the season, was won in the shortest time on record. After watching the Sophs take their dose of the icy water, a big downtown celebration was held. .ESHMAN CLASS nan Class History In the class, meeting the class further distinguished itself by the elec- tion of a young lady for Treasurer. This idea has proven so popular that it is doubtful if that coveted position will ever again be ceded to one of the stronger sex. The class has contributed many students who have distinguished themselves in atheltic, dramatic and social circles and in general college activities. The prominent place that we held and the showing that we made in the Jubilee parade was evidence that our class was lacking in neither energy nor initiative. As the term draws to a close we feel that in all we have taken our part, and in the doing of it reflected credit to our University and glory to ourselves. In our Freshman days we have found much enjoyment and are now ready to give place to the Class of 21, to whom we ex- tend our welcome. li 111 pin ortam FRANKLIN THOMPSON, '19 July, Nineteen Hundred Sixteen DR.

Ruttle (136) Sweet Kentucky Ladies S the splendor of a crown of gold led the mind of the medieval alchemist to dreams of transmuting the basest of metals into the most precious; as the wonder of a minstrel’s fable led the cavalier Ponce de Leon to seek in the wilder- ness of Florida the Fountain of Eternal Youth; as the glory of a white and crimson sunrise might lead a poet to wander in the mystic realms of Romance and change the sparkle of the dewdrops on the grass into millions of iridescent dia- monds scattered over tapestries of emerald; so the thought of the woman beautiful leads every real Kentuckian to the heights of poetic imagina- tion. It has been said that the life of man is as a mirror in a darkened room, reflecting but imperfectly the workings of a universe guided by Omnipotence; but if that be true, then woman is the gentle zephyr that blows away the misty clouds of gray and lets the light of happiness come in. No Kentuckian counts life complete until he has the picture of one wonderful woman in his heart. This Kentuckian would consider its mission in life unfulfilled unless it carried in its own heart the pictures of at least a dozen. So here they are ; as truly as the art of the photogra- pher and the engraver and the printer can reproduce them—not half so beautiful nor half so desirable nor half so inspiring as they are in life, but still as nearly their own sweet selves as we can make them.

Ireland George Zerfoss Celia Cregor Dawn Flanery Tribute to Football JOSEPH H. KASTLE UT few things in all the world are more beautiful and glorious than the Autumn season in Old Kentucky, and but few days more sacred to the American people than Thanksgiving Day. A wealth of days of golden warmth and sunshine, mellowed and softened by the bluish haze of burning Autumn leaves; and nights made cheerful by the open fire—an atmosphere that still reflects the glories of departing Summer and redolent of burning leaf and ripening fruit and dying flower—the burnished gold of the harvest and the brilliant oriflamme of the monarchs of the forest—the silken rustle of the falling leaf—the call of the migratory bird and fowl—these and more, all go to make our Autumn the glad fulfillment of the promise of the year. Each season brings its customs that have been sweetened by time and hallowed by long-continued usage. The mistletoe and the yule log, the Thanksgiving turkey and mince pie, the Christmas carol and the Easter song, holly, flowers and gifts, the weird witchery of Hallowe’en, the happy New Year’s greeting, all in their several ways mark the swift passing of the years of our youth and bring to the old their tenderest memories. And so along with the other customs, games and pastimes that have come to us from our Father- land, across the sea, there has come this great Rugby game of football, and from ancient saga and war-song and battle-cry there has come the college song and yell. In the hands of the American boy, with his dauntless pluck and courage, this game has been so strengthened and developed that in comparison all other college sports, if not all sports of every character, dwindle into insignificance. If the racing of the thoroughbred is indeed the sport of kings, football is the sport of men. It has come to have a far greater sig- nificance than could possibly attach to any mere game. It stands for strength and courage and for ability to dare and do. It stands for clean, right living; for self-control and for grit to abstain from anything that weakens or degrades. It demands of those who par- ticipate therein weeks, and sometimes months, and even years, of careful training and preparation. To win a football game requires a general and a leader of men. The man or the woman who only sees in these great contests the struggle of young ath- letes as yard by yard they carry the ball for a touchdown through a struggling mass of humanity, has failed entirely to grasp the true inwardness of the situation, and is indeed blind to the signs of the times. In reality the game of football is a contest of ideals and principles that in themselves are as old and deep-rooted and abiding as the race itself. Some day, not far remote, these boys who now so proudly wear the K upon the blue sweaters will be the players, quarters, fullbacks, ends and tackles on the broad gridiron of life. If they are leaders now they will be leaders then, and by bucks and double passes and long runs around the end, following their interference, they will score the touchdowns in the swift onrushes of human progress and endeavor. At this glad season, therefore, let us who are maturer men be thankful for our boys. (178) Boles Tuttle Dr. Tigert and Coaching Staff SITTING out on the greensward when the fights were at the thickest, he made a memorable picture. With his hands jabbed in his overcoat pocket, the master mind was generally vociferously chewing the very dickens out of an unlighted cigar. On his face intensity supreme was visualized. When the Wildcats were getting theirs he didn’t whimper. He just chewed the cigar all the harder. It took the place of the well-known rag. With him were “Squirelly” and “Daddy.” “Daddy” Boles, a product of the far-famed Zuppke school, had worked the men into shape by individual attention. Tuttle had spent his hours with the Freshies and second-string men to get a bucking crowd. The work of Dr. Tigert will long remain in brilliant letters upon the history of the school. When he started three years ago with a Freshman team and made it a bunch of wonders his reputation was made. On the team last year the men were the products of his careful, tireless hours of work. Coaches seldom come in for the praise that is due them, but all the Wildcat backers feel the power of the work that has been done by Dr. Tigert and his two assistants in building up a team which has turned the eyes of the South Kentucky ward. ! (179) William (Doc) Rodes The immortal “Doc” will stand in out- line against the memories of the fierce fights the Wildcats waged, when the stu- dent’s hair is gray and he hobbles up to his seat before the fire to think of the happy past, when he joined in screaming “Fight, Kentucky” from the bleachers on Stoll Field. Since his great career as star of the Freshman football team began three years ago, “Doc” has been the center of attrac- tion when the pigskin begins to bound. Time and time again, when hope was dying, he would tear down the field for long gains. He ran like a man gone wild, tacklers spinned off him like his moleskins were greased, until Knoxville proclaimed him the greatest quarterback on earth, and the great McGugin said: Give me Doc Rodes and I will say he is greater than Curry.” Doc's famous punting toe also counted for much. Captain Morris Crutcher Crutcher, the indomitable Wildcat chief- tain, made a glorious record as leader of the fighting felines. His courage was un- daunted, and his zealous vim kept the whole team awake to the importance of every minute. Much of the great season’s success may be traced to the determination pictured in his gritted teeth. Crutcher’s end was one place where there was no danger to anybody but the man who tried to cross that forbidden path. His terrible tackling gained him a name of terror throughout the South. Crutcher’s playing was not spectacular. It was steady, it was beating, plugging, constant. It was the kind of playing that wins games and fame. It was the kind to live forever as a picture of what straining every nerve and sinew can do. Maury is one that never said die. He was up and at them all the time, as his record shows. His ability to receive passes and wonderful defense work adorn the brilliant record of the team he led through a glorious campaign. (180) Glorious Season Wins Recognition for Wildcats in the South BY TOM UNDERWOOD IVIDING honors with the early morning alarm clock, the final review of the football season brings gridiron fanatics from sweet dreams of what “ain’t” to a realization of what is. The crisp morning of 1917 has no headache. The season has been the most auspicious in the history of the University. Dr. John James Tigert’s wonder-working Wildcats have emblazoned the name of Kentucky on the football map, whilst proud Southern teams, view- ing this rising power like haughty Rome did growing Carthage, use their fingernails like the famed speckled hen does her claws and make a happy scratching patch out of their hirsute adornment, trying to figure whether the name is there to stay. This is the ponderous problem the season leaves the coming years to solve Is good old Kentucky, lucky and plucky, always right, or has she just been right as a fox one year The season really had its beginning in the mind of Dr. Tigert He saw a vision, gave up a chair of philosophy and got to work. September saw John Jason and his modern fleecers m camp on Kentucky River. Things looked only fair. Crutcher, great leader, with gritted teeth and powerful deter- mination, was there and ready to lead his warriors into the thickest. Grabfelder, wing-footed Mercury of many glories of the past; Kinne, whose sensa- tional stunts of the past year had made curly hair look like it had been roached; Mcllvain, (181) Haydon McIlvain Grabfelder mean-looking monster in moleskins, and Charley Hayden, the fleet-footed darling of the Wildcats, were calculated for the back field. There were also others, among whom might be mentioned Augustus Gay, the pride of Lexington High School in previous years, and Spencer Roark, whose greatest days are yet before him. The line was the sad part. The failure of Thompson and Server to return had left two big gaps, and Dempsey had been ill during the summer and had not gotten in fighting shape. The middle gap was soon attended to. Clements, the little fat rascal who after- wards became famous when Dean Roberts took him for a turkey on Thanksgiving and applied the ax, was put here, and, with Dempsey also working in center, the combination was wonderful. The tackles were filled by Heick and Murphree, both from Louisville, and both husky and alert. Hickerson, the weight-thrower extraordinary, was figured on for either a guard or a tackle. “Red” Davidson, son of bloody Breathitt, big mountaineer, was good for a big place. 1 hen there was Brittain, quiet and modest; his worth was well known. The year past he had stood out as the greatest defense man extant, but little recked he what future days were to add to his gridiron career. On the ends Captain Crutcher relieved worry about one. Heber, a black-haired youth; George Gumbert, tried veteran, and Bart Peak looked good. The training trip was finally over and the team returned. Then came a day. The evening shadows had veiled the sky in gray, and the campus had taken on its evening sadness. It was almost night. (182) Into the main building strode an unimportant-looking fellow. He had on work- clothes and was hardly noticed by the few students who were yet in the halls. In almost awkward studes he pulled himself into the registrar s office and pulled off a cap which fieed a bushy wilderness of black and tangled hair. He took an enrollment card and signed it and walked out, unnoticed. Better far would it have been if the old Mexican cannon had once more been stuffed with conciete and shot off an awful blast, the cadet band told to do its worst, the big blue silk flag with the K on it furled waving in the breeze while this grim warrior walked on a rose-strewn path of glory between a walled column of collegians and fair cc-eds into college. It was “Doc” Rodes. The ranks had been filled and the Wildcats were ready. It was soon the day for the opening game. Stoll Field looked its greenest and had a new adornment of whitewashed yard lines. Midst mighty cheers, in new unitoims, look- ing spick and span and fair to gaze upon, the Wildcats trotted out to make their first appearance against Butler. 1 he whistle whistled and the pigskin made its initial flight into the arms of Bonham, quaiteiback of Butler, who tore back to the forty-five-yard line. Then there was a clinch. The line held. The Wildcats took the ball. Mcllvain plunged two yards. Rushes gained, and then Doc broke loose. He dodged and jumped and squirmed, while Butler stood amazed. Thirty yards he tore into the sanctum sanctorum of the enemy for the first touchdown of the season. The Wildcats had begun. t 'V is: Dempsey Simpson Murphree Butler kicked and Grabby the Great got to going good. He and Rodes took turns in taking the ball to the one-yard line. Hayden dove over the line with it for the second count. Kinne then replaced Rodes at quarter. The second quarter ended 1 2 to 0. Grabfelder cut loose in the beginning of the second half for a third touchdown. Butler’s hopes began to fall. Then Mcllvain grabbed a pass and romped over with another score. Butler then took life and Bonham seized the ball. He tore to the thirty-yard line. On the next play he kicked a graceful drop-kick, making the only score against the Wild- cats. Kentucky’s last carry-over was made by “Doc” after Hayden had carried the ball to the middle of the field. The final score was 39 to 3. Poor Center was the next victim. It was a brutal massacre. Over Stoll Field were strewn the fighting little Danvillits. Wicked whitewashing brushes were used and the calsomining was complete. The score was 68 to 0. Grabfelder was out of the game and Dr. Tigert was away. “Squirrely” Tuttle was left in charge. A big bunch of subs were used in this game, and the first real chance to show how the timber was, pre- sented itself. Hayden and Rodes were the extraordinary sprinklers of stardust. Hayden made four touchdowns and Rodes three. Gus Gay and Walker, both Lexington High men, got in the game, and each went over for a touchdowm. Walker on a line plunge and Gay writh a forward pass. Jack Howard was put in and showed up well. Baugh, Pullen and Thompson also wrere given chances and show that futures awaited them. The game marked the renewal of friendly feeling between Centre and Kentucky. (184) The teams had been former rivals, and the first game of football ever played west of the Alleghenies had been played between them. Relations were broken off between the two schools in 1909, but are resumed for good. Then came the fearful nightmare that mars the pleasant dreams. Vanderbilt put a blot on Kentucky’s escutcheon. The speedy-going heavyweights from NashvilL were too much, and the Jubileans who had planned to give vent to their hoped-for joy with a great celebration had to be satisfied with drowning their sorrow. The crowd that had been celebrating the fiftieth birthday of the school all poured into the field. Before the game Governor Stanley made an address, officially dedicating thei field to Richard C. Stoll. President Barker also spoke. Then the trouble began. It is a sad, sad story. Vanderbilt opened with a punting game, to which Doc Rodes responded, matching his foot against the famous toe of Tom Zerfoss. The beautiful feature of the game was the matchless fight between Curry and Rodes for honors. The Marlin marvel, famed as the rabbit runner who had baffled the tacklers of the South, had a 200-pound line in front of him and the greatest interference ever seen around him. Kentucky’s interference kept getting scattered and her line was outweighed and badly battered. But “Doc” outshone the difficulties and ran as he never ran before. His dives, plunges and twirling dervishes around the ends made the Wildcats keep a little hope. Brittain and Hayden were the other stars. Their work was remarkable. Hayden crawled around on the ground like an ape hops through the wilds of his native forest. Hickerson Clements (185) Brittain I Thirteen to three tells the story of the Mississippi game. It was a warm day lor football, and the Wildcats got too hot for Mississippi. Crutcher, Hayden, Mcllvain and Gay divided honors with Rodes and Brittain, who continued shining. Then came the glorious climax of the great season. The Terrible Tennesseans, proud conquerors in battles against Sewanee, Vanderbilt and all the great teams of the South and claimants to the championship of the Southern colleges, had looked menacingly on Kentucky. Threatening still, the line up on national Turkey Day. The Wildcats arose to their highest hopes in holding Tennessee to a tie. Eleven men walked out upon the field of battle in the blue jerseys and moleskins. The same eleven, battered, bruised and scarred, but happy, left the field. The immortals of that day are Crutcher, Heick, Brittain, Dempsey, Hickerson, Murphree, Kinne, Rodes, Grab- felder. Gay and Mcllvain. “Doc” was the big hero. His great work called forth claims from Knoxville sport scribes that Curry was not in it with him. It was largely his Tennessee performance that brought to light his wonderful ability to sport lovers of the South, and through which he gained All-Southern recognition. Mcllvain was also a great light. The whole team played a remarkable game. The Wildcats saved the best for the last—the Tennessee game goes down in history as the greatest feat of a Kentucky football team. So the season ended gloriously. The Wildcat yell has been heard. The Wildcat’s terrible teeth and clutching claws are feared. Great are the Wildcats, as the season shows! SQUAD Schedule and Results, 1916 Wildcats U. OF K.

(192) Forward Forward Guard Guard Center Haydon Innes Ellwanger Review of the Season BY E. M. P. UNDEFEATED the girls’ basketball team came through the season with a clear title to the championship. With three members of last year’s team not back, and no adequate place for practice, the prospect was not bright at first. But with the first blast of Coach Tuttles whistle, back in November, when thirty girls reported for practice, the situation looked more hopeful. All these thirty did not stick, of course, but some fifteen or more remained faithful to the end. These loyal substitutes, who made up the scrub team, should not be forgotten in the story of the team’s success. T he first game of the season was played on the home floor with Kentucky Wesleyan. It resulted in an easy victory for Kentucky, with a score of 28-13. Strengthened by this victory, our girls next journeyed to Danville where they defeated Kentucky College for Women, 28-10. The next game was played in Winchester, with Kentucky Wes- leyan. Despite rumors that the Wesleyanites were terrors on their own floor the Blue and White supporters won a 46-12 victory. Kentucky College for Women next played a return game on our floor. Again they met defeat before the Kentucky team, the score being 32-18. The last and hardest game of the season was played on the local floor with the University of Louisville. Both teams showed fast playing and brilliant floor- work. The game ended with the score 24-12 for Kentucky. (193) Crane Cregor Dean Nancy Innes, captain, playing her fourth year on the team at guard, proved to be an able leader. Teamwork was her motto, and the effectiveness of it can only be judged by the results. Always good, Miss Innes surpassed former records this year. For splendid leadership, brilliant individual playing and reliability, it will be hard to find another to fill Miss Innes’ place, which her graduation this year leaves vacant. Lillian Haydon, manager, played her second year at guard. Miss Haydon has the happy faculty of always being at the right place at the right moment. Her consistent playing was responsible for much of the season’s success, and it is safe to predict that she will be the mainstay of the team for the next two years. Celia Cregor moved up to center this year, a place for which she is pre-eminently fitted, both by her height and playing ability. With no previous experience at the begin- ning of last year’s season Miss Cregor easily made good at forward. She was even bet- ter this season at center, and with another year to play she is expected to reach the zenith of her powers and put up a remarkable game. Nell Crain and Bernice Ellwanger, the two forwards, are new this year. Miss Crain is fast on the floor and her playing is marked by sensational shots. Miss Ellwanger plays a strong, consistent game throughout. Prominent among the substitutes were Lucy Dean, Myrtle Smith and Eliza Piggott.

In the first place, when two teams squabble over trying to toss a ball into a basket it is a pitch battle. But in the true sense of the phrase, when there is a rough and tumble fight it is a pitch battle. Basketball ought to be played in a padded cell, anyway, instead of in a cramped gymnasium, for the chosen champions of one school to vent their manly power by taking picks on a parallel bar or horse or something and cannonading their rivals against them. What s that got to do with the 1917 season? one might ask. Oh, nothing! Now, in the beginning, “Dutch” Gumbert, the fleet guard, took the notion that he would try his luck at pedagogy and departed for the city of Marion. “Boo Ireland, the limber-legged lad from La Grange, was then chosen to lead the Wildcats. On the defending positions the Wildcats appeared strongest at the first of the season. “Doc” Rodes, veritable whirlwind and slapstick artist, and Shrader, with little to say and much to do, were at the guards, so it should be worried as to those positions. The center position offered the biggest controversy. Who would be selected to serve as middle man was perplexing. The forwards were also open for fighting, and Patrick Campbell, son of Erin; Longsworth, with the facial expression that gained him the cognomen, “Pug”; Boone “Beanpole” Simpson, and Alvin Thompson and Little Paul Anderson, the second, fought for these positions. In the end all got in the scrambles. The season had an auspicious opening when Kentucky’s wonderworkers Wildcatted away from Centre, while the chalk artist blackboarded up a 31 to 21 score. Then Chauffeur Tigert sparked up his machine and thought he was going to ride away to glory, but he banged against his first obstacle with a dull, sickening bump at (196) Longsworth Rodes Campbell Georgetown. The Baptists baptized the sophisticated “State crowd by a lamentable score, which has been kept hushed up by the returned collection. On the 30th of January the Wildcats returned to the limelight by staging their best performance of the season against Rose Polytechnic Institute. The Roses were all withered when they left and looked like the last r. of s. Two games with Tennessee were rought enough to be highly entertaining and edify- ing from a collegiate view, but were not satisfactory in scores. After that revenge was reeked on Georgetown, the dust of defeat was sprinkled gloriously over Cumberland College on the first game of the Southern trip, but the trip wasn’t like a honeymoon in May, because Tennessee took the Wildcats’ measure twice. The results of the season are enumerated for the consideration of those who hovered in the galleries and peered down into the pit where the vortex raged. (197) TRACK SQUAD Track Prospects FOR several seasons our track teams have made poor showings. In two years we have not won a meet. Last season we developed two or three exceptionally good men, but not enough to make a winning team. Grabfelder, Captain of this year's team, equaled the Kentucky record of 10 seconds for the hundred-yard dash and reduced the State record for the two-hundred-and-lwenty-yard dash to 21 4-5 seconds. He finished third in both of these events in the S. I. A. A. meet at Nashville. This is the first time that we have ever placed in this meet. Hodges and Marshall, the former a jumper the latter a hurdler, showed up well last year and were sent to Nashville. This year both Hodges and Marshall are gone, and Grabfelder and Hickerson are the only men back who earned their letters in 1916. In spite of this, we have out the largest squad we have had in several seasons, and if hard work will avail anything, we should have a good team of which we need not be ashamed, as in the days of old when we were never known to lose on the cinder paths. Hickerson, Whaley, Riggins and Farmer all look good in the weights. Aside from Captain Grab- felder, Knight, Shinnick, Kohn, Forman, Brunson and Kinne are showing up well in the sprints. We have a dozen or more men out for the distances, and though these men arc inexperienced, some of them should make good point winners for us. Gay and Heber, both Freshmen, are showing unusual form in the jumps. Brunson, Little and Moore arc all trying for the pole vault, and all of them are likely men. Unfortunately, the continued presence of Tom Marshall on the border necessitates the labor of training someone all over again for the hurdles. Browning, Parker, Mayhew and Oldham are all possibilities. The squad began daily practice early in March under the supervision of Tigert and Boles. Bad weather early in the season greatly hampered the work, but did not discourage the men. Meets have been arranged with Vanderbilt and Georgetown, the former at Lexington and the latter at Georgetown. We are likely to meet Sewanee on the mountain, according to present expectations. (198) T the time of this writing snow now covers the campus to a depth of several inches, and, except for a very few days, little or no opportunity has been had for baseball practice. Spalding, Crum, Frazier, Roark, Mcll- vain, Kelley, Scott, George Zerfoss and Server all will be missing from the dia- mond this spring. However, with Captain Park, Ireland, George Park, Haydon, Grubbs, Waters, McClellan and Cooper as a nucleus around which to build a new team, prospects are not as gloomy as some of the pessimistic kind would have us be- lieve. It will be noticed that the pitching staff of last year remains intact, and, with the addition of McClellan, should be one of the most formidable in many years. Many new men, unknown quantities as yet, but with good high school reputations as baseball artists, have reported to Coach Tuttle for practice. There is a likely- looking lot, and from the length of the schedule it would appear that many men will likely make their letters. Nine games will be played in fourteen days toward the end of the season. In all, nineteen games have been arranged. Former first sacker “Bill” Tuttle says little in regard to prospects, but, confiden- tially, the former Wildcat celebrity is expecting his team to walk away with more than half of the games on the schedule. We think so, too. Haydon McIlvain Park Review of the Baseball Season EVERY indication during the spring baseball practice of 1916 pointed to a success- ful season. When Bugler Tuttle blew his first blast for practice, nine Varsity men responded. These men were Captain Curtis Park, Kelley, Spalding, Crum, Schrader, Waters, McClellan, Ireland and Grubbs. Things indeed looked promising for all of these men were known to be heavy wielders of the willow and apt to break up anybody’s old game at any old time. McClellan was counted on to do the mam part of the pitching. As of yore, Michigan was scheduled to meet the Wildcats on Stoll Field for the opening game. Forecaster Wurtz, thinking, perhaps, it was snowball we wanted to play, sent us along a nice blanket of the “beautiful, ’ and the game had to be called off. Next came Ohio Wesleyan, and for the first eight innings McClellan held the visitors to three scattered hits. Then came the worst baseball luck that the team could possibly have had. “Mack,” while sliding home, broke his leg. The game had long since been tucked away by the score of 6 to 2, but the disaster meant no more of “Mack’s” pitching for the remainder of the season. WPile developing pitchers that could vie with opposing slabmen, Kentucky dropped four of the next five games on her schedule. Ohio Wesleyan won the second game of the series, 4 to 3. Then the Wildcats journeyed to Georgetown College April 1 8 and skinned the Tigers, 7 to 6. George Park, Cooper and Grubbs were all used in this game, which was won in the ninth inning, when State came from behind and garnered (201) Cooper Grubbs McClelland three tallies. Ohio State next paid her respects in a two-game series, April 21-22, and “out-fit” the Cats in both bouts. The first score was 1 6 to 4 and the final count 9 to 4. Then came the much-lamented dissension in the ranks of the team. The Varsity went to Knoxville handicapped by the loss of several of its best players, but managed to break even in a two-game series, April 28-29, both scores being 7 to 4. The ill omen that had followed the team up to this point suddenly “dropped like lead into the sea,” and thereafter it was easy sailing for our mariners. The pitching staff was showing vast improvement, and the remaining four games of the season were all won in handy fashion. Georgetown fell the victim a second time here May 8 by the score of 8 to 6. De Pauw University came for a double drubbing May 18-19, the scores being 9 to 1 and 4 to 2. The last game of the season was played here May 26 with Centre College. “White Hope” Grubbs distinguished himself in this game by holding the visitors to four hits and one run. Meanwhile his teammates put three across the pan, and the season came to a successful close. Of the eleven games played, Kentucky won 7 and lost 4, making a percentage of .636. Our boys made 59 runs to their opponents’ 58, and lined out 91 clean bingles in 369 trips to ihe plate, making a team batting average of .246. Crum, with an average of .476; Captain Park, with .310; Grubbs, with .312; Haydon, with .304, and Mcll- vain, with .302, deserve special mention. An honor was accorded Captain Park probably never before given at Kentucky. He did such excellent work at the receiving end of the battery and at the bat that his (202) teammates elected him to captain the 1917 team. He was spiked in the knee at George- town May 8, and was out of the game the remainder of the season. In only one game did he fail to connect for a safety, this the last game, and had he been able to continue the game he may have had a clean record. He was forced to retire in the fifth inning. W. W. (Pete) Owsley was elected to manage the 1917 team, and was able to announce the following schedule wrhen the Kentuckian went to press: March 26—University of Indiana, at Lexington April 4, 5—University of Tennessee, at Lexington April 6—Miami University, at Lexington April 9—University of Illinois, at Lexington April 21—Centre College, at Danville April 24—Georgetown College, at Georgetown April 28—Centre College, at Lexington May 4—Georgetown College, at Lexington May 5—Centre College, at Danville May 9, 10—University of the South, at Sewanee May 11, 12—University of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa May 16, 17—University of the South, at Lexington May 18, 19—Franklin College, at Lexington May 22—Georgetown College, at Georgetown (203) Manager Owsley Captain Park Baseball BATTING AVERAGES Coach Tuttle A.B.

Early in the season Derrill Hart displayed his superior qualities as a racquet artist and was elected Captain. After some strenuous weeks of practice. Coach Tigert, who is no mean actor at the net game himself, selected Howard Kinne and F. Paul Anderson, Jr., to complete the team. Three matches had been previously arranged, two with Georgetown Col- lege and the other with Wabash College. The team began rather poorly, losing in straight sets to Georgetown at Woodland Park May 1 3. But their efforts were not to be denied, and they covered themselves with glory in the two succeeding matches. Wa- bash’s measure was taken in two of three sets here May 16, and the same dose was administered to Georgetown College at Georgetown May 2 1. Howard Kinne proved the star performer, losing only one set during the season, and as a reward for his valiant services was elected Captain for the 1917 season. McClarty Harbison was re-elected Manager of the team, and when the Kentuckian went to press was negotiating with several Kentucky colleges for matches. Since last season the Athletic Association has provided the campus with four vvell- laid-out courts in front of the Civil Building, which are expected to stimulate a healthy growth of this sport here. Football Manager Hopkins, Cheer Leader Haffler, Basketball Manager Peak (206) The Strollers HE STROLLERS, the dramatic organization of the University, is almost unique among the college dramatic clubs of America, in that all the plays it gives are financed and produced exclusively by students. Each year a student is elected stage manager and every person connected with the annual show, from the leading actor to the lowly property man, is a regular matriculate. That no professional coach shall be engaged is a tradition that has passed the stage of unwritten law and has been incorporated in the constitution. The first production, ‘‘Brown of Harvard,” was put on at the Lexington Opera House in the spring of 1911. The members of the first cast person- ally guaranteed to pay any deficit that might be incurred, but it was never necessary for them to pay out cash in this manner, for every play has been a money-maker. The only concession the Strollers have ever received from the University was the use of a room in the basement of the Administration building. This studio was decorated and fur- nished beautifully by the organization itself and is one of the show places of the campus. Pictures of all the stage managers who have in other years done so much for the success of dramatics in Lexington are hung on the walls of the studio. Although the plays have been largely put on for the pleasure of the students and the Lexington public, the Strollers have made outside trips with two plays. In 1913 ‘‘The Lost Paradise” was taken to Louisville, and in 1915 trips were made to Mt. Sterling and Georgetown with ‘‘Charley’s Aunt.” Only the fact that ‘‘Father and the Boys,” the 1916 production, was too large prevented it going on the road also. Negotiations were on at the time this article was written looking toward producing ‘‘The Lion and the Mouse” in several Central Kentucky towns. Membership in the Strollers is achieved solely by dramatic merit. In the early part of each school year the organization holds its ‘‘Amateur Night,” at which cash prizes are awarded to the aspiring actors, who present their own skits. The chapel is always crowded for these affairs. Skits are also produced through the year by the older members. The number of members varies, as the supply of talent is not constant. This year about thirty new students became affiliated and a number of them made parts in the 1917 play. Every student who has a part in one of the plays is given a gold pin made in the shape of the club’s emblem. In addition, a banquet at the Phoenix is given in their honor. The plays produced by the Strollers are of the highest type, and the productions are always artistically successful. ‘‘Play Night” is the biggest student night of the year. The Opera House, which has seen the Thespian giants of the last fifty years in their best plays, resounds with the music of the University orchestra and the cheers of the loyal partisans who gather to encourage their favorites. T he value of such an organization as the Strollers to the University can hardly be emphasized too strongly. Presenting real shows in a manner that is a credit to the authors, they have proved as powerful an advertising force as the University of Kentucky possesses. More power to them, and success forever! (208) ggmiii'iiiiiiii'iiii'Mnmi: 11 jiiiinni'iiiirmnn mini urimimnimj OFFICERS OF THE STROLLERS (209) TTTTTUT “The Lion and the Mouse” HE, annual Stroller play, The Lion and the Mouse,” was produced at the Lexington Opera House Saturday evening, March 1 0, before a brilliant and enthusiastic audience. Financially this play was as successful as any of former years, and artistically is said to have been the best of all Stroller shows. The critics of the local newspapers were lavish in their praise of the work of the cast, attributing to several of them professional ability. Prac- tically the entire student body witnessed the production, and the large follow- ing the Strollers have in the city turned out to applaud the young Thespians in their interpretation of Charles Klein’s masterpiece. “The Lion and the Mouse” is a powerful drama of modern life, in which the fight of a girl to save the good name and position of her father is graphically depicted. The whole of the four acts abounds in intense scenes, with exquisite comedy relief interspersed. Many friends of the Strollers thought when the play was selected that the organization was too ambitious, that such a drama was beyond the scope of a college dramatic club. The success of their efforts this year has dispelled all doubt as to their ability to play anything that the occasion may demand. To give a detailed criticism of the work of the other members of the cast is impos- sible in the space the Kentuckian is able to devote to dramatics. Suffice it to say that their work was up to the standard the Srollers have set in past years. To those who know the organization, that is sufficient. Following the Lexington performance, the play was taken to Nicholasville, and Mt. Sterling, where it was a success in every way.

At this same contest the three most capable and impressive speakers are selected to compose the Varsity team to represent the University in the Intercollegiate Debating Association. Thomas L. Creekmore, Jasper J. McBrayer and A. L. Cole were chosen this year. As debaters and logicians they have no peers. Their glorious achievements in debating and oratorical :ircles are history on the campus. The judges are to be commended for placing the standards of the University in their hands. In the debate with Georgetown we are willing to stake our reputation in the Association upon the ability of these three men to win honor for the University and fame for themselves.

Professor Cover came to Kentucky from Purdue Uni- versity at the beginning of the year, and found the band badly disorganized, poorly equipped, and not able to play well even ordinary music. He resolved to straighten up the organization, and started by securing an appropriation of $1,500.00 for instruments and music. A beautiful set of about forty of the finest instruments were purchased, and the library was increased by an excellent collection of marches, overtures, popular hits, solos, and novelties. The individual members of the band worked well and showed an admirable loyalty to the organization and to the director. The hour for practice always seemed short, and the members nearly always insisted on playing “just one more, even after closing time. By such co-operation and interest in the work, the band became able to play the most difficult marches and overtures successfully. The band played at all the football games, gave several concerts in chapel, and was always willing to play whenever the students wanted it. There was an increase in numbers this year over last, there being this year an instrumentation of thirty-six pieces, and next year promises to show an even larger number.

The Kentucky Students’ Prohibition Club was greatly pleased when they found that their invitation had been accepted, and this appreciation was shown by their efforts and successful work in arranging the scene and co-operating with the National Officers in making the convention a success. The con- vention was attended by about eight hundred student delegates, representing twenty-five states, including one hundred and twenty-eight colleges. All gen- eral sessions, including afternoon and evening addresses, were held in the Woodland Auditorium. The theme of the Convention was, “Answering the Challenge of the Prohibition Movement to the College Students of To-Day.” The first session was held Thursday afternoon, and addresses were delivered by the National President, Dr. D. Leigh Col- vin; Mayor J. C. Rogers; Col. George W. Bain and Hon. William Jennings Bryan. On Thursday evening Dr. W. A. Ganfield, President of Center College, and Dr. Edwin E. Sparks, President of Pennsylvania State College, addressed the convention. The theme for Friday afternoon, “The Economic and Scientific Answer,” was pre- sented by Dr. Winfield Scott Hall of Northwestern University, Charles Stelzle of New York and other able speakers. The principal speakers of the evening were Elmer L. Williams of Chicago and Ex-Governor E. N. Foss of Massachusetts. The theme for Saturday afternoon, “How America’s Anti-Liquor Forces Are An- swering the Challenge,” was well presented by able rpresentatives from each of the anti- liquor movements. Saturday evening was taken up with the National Oratorical Contest. George Irving, Editor of the North American Student, and Daniel A. Poling were the principal speakers on Sunday afternoon. Three strong addresses were given Sunday night by Prof. Charles Scanlon of the Presbyterian Temperance Board, Dr. Carolyn E. Giesel, a surgeon and one of America’s strongest women speakers, and Dr. Ira Lan- drith of Nashville, Tennessee, who well fitted the climax of the convention. Among the main features of the convention was the National Oratorical Contest, which is the broadest and in many respects the greatest contest of its kind held in America. Back of eight orators, which met at the Woodland Auditorum, Saturday evening, De- cember 30, 1916, were 1385, written and delivered orations in preliminary. It was a final or a series of four hundred contests held in all parts of the country. The winner of this contest was Joshua B. Lee of the University of Oklahoma. The eight contestants were: Central Interstate, Joshua B. Lee, University of Oklahoma, and Harold R. Husterd, Sioux Falls College; Eastern Interstate, Bernard C. Clausen, Colgate’s College, and DeLloyd F. Wood, Ohio Wesleyan University; Southern Interstate, Leonard V. Bushman, Presbyterian Seminary and Earle W. Foster, Georgetown College; Western Interstate, Monta C. Smithson, McMinnville College, and Eugene U. Blalock, Uni- versity of Southern California. Street Smith Editorial Staff Frank T.

ESSjBGffl@ ISSSElll!SSESIIIiSAESG9l!Snt SSlUSBERSS!IS5IIIS3SSnESE3IB Foreword Si SJQTZ m m F,-.l stfH m E editor has been approached by divers good girls and bad boys, who have offered sundry rewards, from chocolate fidge to chawin’ terbacker, from beer checks to kisses—in fact, everything good to eat—to keep their names and reputations out of this Philistinic Feature Section. But even as that great, patriotic and modest governor, he has said to them all, “Get thee behind me, thou temptress!” That which we present hereinafter is without malice and without mercy. We are footloose and unmarried and have a pair of light running shoes. Therefore we can move and we will. If you are a student and your figurative toes have not been stepped on, it is not because you haven’t big feet; it is because the Feature staff does not consider that those number 9’s have carried you into anything worthy of notice. We do not care much about what you think of yourself; to us you are merely an ordinary human, more ludicrous than important. We care less what you think of us; to ourselves we are the biggest beans in the soup. We fear nothing. Our last will and testament has been probated in advance. Everything has been bequeathed—the whole thirty cents. Fifteen goes for a wreath for the Old Guard and fifteen for a banquet at the Zoo for the Pan- Hellenic Council. We are impartially imperfect. So, Friend, read on into this sweet-scented manuscript of youth. If you are represented it is because we love you for your faults, and the devil knows you have plenty of them! You may not like our wit, but go to your own room and read it, anyhow. You know you can’t burn the book, for it costs you $2.50, unless you are doing as a great many of our loyal students do and read somebody else’s Kentuckian. You know also that you can’t scorch the responsible party, for he is already spoken for. Read the stuff, and if you still want to bite the editor—if your teeth ache for his tender meat—get a tooth brush and a file and sharpen up. If you just have to have satisfaction, you can get it from Jess Willard. m if lYi (265) geological Survey Wash Day - Prior. MilleiCs Clothes Line The Lesson Scorns Our Politics AR is hell, and politics is war. Going further with the same line of com- parison, the University of Kentucky is a scarred battleground. The gas bombs which the Germans have hurled for the past three years at the English and French are as nought to the gas bums that have been hurled promis- cuously around our campus by angry and implacable partisans. Hot shot from a machine gun in Belgium is scarcely more to be feared than hot shot from a machine politician on the left-hand side of Limestone street going south. A scrap of paper was without virtue when the salvation of Belgium was at stake, but we have with us always, or bi-monthly at least, the Ken- tucky Alumnus. Competition is the life of trade; therefore we occupy about the liveliest place in the world. Politics, like war, is played by two sides, each of which is trying to tether the other’s Angora and his own bull to the same stake, thereby taking possession of the stake. The Ins want to stay in and the Outs want to break in. Strangely enough, nobody wants to break out. This was charmingly exemplified when all the world avoided Curt Park when he had the chickenpox. In writing a political history of the University, we find no lack of material. We have footprints on the sands of time and foot-sprints on the heels of fortune to guide us. Noah, the first mechanical engineer, built himself an ark and refused admittance to all who did not belong to his own little family, no matter how civil they might be. So it is here; civility is no recommendation for admittance to the Administration ark. History repeats itself and adds as it goes. Noah, it is remembered, was not investigated by the Board of Trustees. However, we cannot see but that he was fortunate, for he drowned out all the witnesses but his own. He needed nobody to Rowe his boat; wind alone was sufficient to carry her along. Politics is played the same way the world over. All one has to do is to go ahead with his work as he wants it done, and then blame it on somebody else when it is accom- plished. The degree of a politician’s success is based on his ability to get his doings blamed on another. It takes six lawyers six months and costs some thousands of dollars to find out who was responsible for a good politician’s work. Usually the lawyers find that it was all right for him to do it in the first place. The feature section of the Kentuckian feels that it should deal with all sorts of pol- itics, but it is afraid of the faculty brand. It is dangerous, because neither the editor of the book nor the editor of the section has received his degree, and both may need it, or them, as the English language wills it. It takes almost as much diplomacy to achieve a degree as to be the dean of a college or the head counter of eggs in a hen contest at the Experiment Station. But m spite of the fact that we say nothing about these little matters, we do have some opinions. Student politics is of the same genus, but of a different species. The student body is divided into three parts, after the manner of Gaul:—those who have something and want more; those who have nothing and went something, and those who can t get any- thing. The latter class is usually unaware of its status and plays politics just the same. Perhaps class offices furnish the best political skirmish ground, for there the politician is always the man who gets the grapes, regardless of merit. If early in the fall a man approaches you on the campus with more than wonted affability and expresses great delight that you came back to college, if he offers you a cigarette or insists on paying for (267) the movie tickets, watch him! He is a candidate. Watch his eyes! If he looks weary it does not mean that he is studying too hard—nobody does that here. It means that he lies awake o’ nights figuring for your vote. He will gently lead up to the subject of the class election that is soon to come off, and let it slip that he thinks it a shame that the fraternity gang or he Old Guard, as the case may be, is organizing and expects to win. Something ought to be done. By and by, he gathers a few of his friends together in the middle of night and divides up the offices with them. Each candidate then talks up the rest of ticket, and if anyone asks if he wants something he looks pained. The idea has not occurred to him, evidently. Apparently nobody wants an office for himself. His friends are interested merely in seeing that the class is conducted by the right people. He is not selfish. No, he isn’t! He hates the publicity like a Dutchman hates sauerkraut. He eats it, inhales it and absorbs it. When election day comes off he tries to ring in all the flunk-outs he thinks are for him and to rule out everybody who is against him. It is plain that the salvation of the class rests in whether the fraternity or non-frat party runs the roost. The vote is taken and it is found that after all the world is going to whirl on in its accustomed manner. Everybody is satisfied but a few who would not be content if they were allowed to make the universe over for themselves. Everybody knows that old politics won again. Ever see the student who did not know anything about the lesson go up after class and ask the prof what his honest opinion of Europe is? That’s politics. Ever see a Co-ed Stroller gaze soulfully into the eyes of J. R. Marsh, stage manager? That’s politics. Go to a lit society before a contest and see ’em scrap about the judges. Pol- itics again! Behold George Washington’s bow and smile just before Thanksgiving. That is politics, too. If you are an Ag, go to the Monday night meeting and tell what you think of lawyers; go to the Henry Clay and tell your real opinion of the tillers of the soil. Those are two popular ways of playing politics. If you are out for the football squad, do you neglect to tell the captain that he has the best looking girl in college? If you do, you are not a politician. As for taking the girls to the Phoenix and buying $3.50 worth of food for dinner, when you pay $3 per week for your personal board—well, that is damphoolishness of another kind. But it’s war just the same! The Restoration of a Familiar Pfrsomautt-St u Extant The above was characteristic of all ages, flourished in all climates and under all condi- tions. It was doubtless introduced during the time of the great submergence. A stronger spe- cies of the same family is in existence to-day. N. B.—The author is not responsible for its restoration. (269) How sweet it is to sleep and dream Of Nature’s fair retreat; Of lovely nooks that may allure A weary student’s feet. How sad it is to wake and know A vision can but seem; To learn that “Campus Beautiful’s” A weary student’s dream. The Gentle Grafter It’s hands upon your wallets, boys; the Queen is drawing nigh; That fair, capricious maiden with come-hither in her eye. See that apple-cheeked, unbearded youth walk lordly at her side! How the sugared smile she gives him fills his vapid head with pride! Fool! he thinks he’s got a chance; doesn’t know she’s loaded all the dice; Let’s him seven now, but crap out when he hasn’t got the price. Oh, it’s flowers and candy, cabs and shows and suppers he must buy, But you’ll see the poor fish wiggle when she throws him high and dry— Oh, it’s hands upon your pocketbooks, the Queen is drawing nigh. (270) Kappa Alpha Meaning—Kale Absent. Founded—Virginia is guilty; appeal overruled. Number of chapters—Two full ones in Lexington. The others are likely to be exposed at any time. Number of members—Nobody knows. The editor took the census once, but found that he could not separate the T. U. crew from the sheep, therefore—. Kale Absent is noted as the possessor of more real ladies’ men than any other frat hereabouts, McClarty Harbison being all of them, unless Tom McCown, who is an Ag, can be counted. Once upon a time, as all fairy stories start, K. A. had an athlete, too, but that was before the dawn of history. The fraternity inhabits a colonial mansion on South Broadway from 3 to 7 A.M. Also it holds two meetings a week instead of the usual one. Miss Spurr’s dancing hall is the appointed meeting place. The reason the name Kale Absent is so appropriate is this: When a member gets a check from home he pays part of his board bill, his fraternity dues, and his laundry deficit. The rest of the check goes for a package of cigarettes and a bunch of flowers for the “date.” It’s a gay life if you can stand it. (272) Sigma Chi Meaning—Snobbishly Callous, or Seven Cans; take your choice if you have one. Founded—Centre College, before Danville went dry. Number of chapters—Four at Centre, extension of one here. Number of active members—Seven in the morning; three at night. The other four are helpless and quite inactive after 1 1 o’clock. This fraternity, or male sorority, is especially noted for the number and beauty of its Sweethearts, whose praises are sung at every opportunity. Their pictures are repro- duced every year, as last year, in the Kentuckian. At that time the queen of the whole lot, Miss Lamb-da Lamb-da Chapter, was given the center position. She was and is a sweet young thing. The Sigma Chi Handbook usually has many pictures of “Big” and “Buddy’ in characteristic poses. No such book is complete without seventeen pictures of the king of the works. As to pledges, one is said to be born every minute, but some attain wisdom in high school and escape being pledged to Seven Cans. A Sigma Chi is easily recognized, because he will not recognize anybody else. Some of the brothers show great promise in various capacities. I hese capacities in some cases run as high as half a gallon. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Meaning—Strong Against Education, or Scandal Always Exists. Founded—At a fudge jamboree at Patterson Hall, A. D. 1900. Number of chapters—3-4. Number of members—4. None of the pledges passed in enough work to be taken in this year. Strong Against Education has the reputation of getting more pledges than any other local fraternity. If any gentle reader wishes to know why, he can find the answer by looking at the pledges. We couldn’t understand how they got any at all till we looked ’em over. Then we couldn’t understand how they kept anybody out. An S. A. E. can easily be recognized, especially at dances. They all have larger and more unmanageable feet than other human beings, if they can really be put in that class, and as they always stag, they have no hesitancy in stepping on any girl’s tootsies. Per usual, the fraternity house was moved at the beginning of this year. The location is admirable; it is only one minute’s walk to the Zoo. (274) Meaning—Poker Delights Them. (This applies only to those who win.) Founded—Cassidy’s Pool Parlor, 1902. Number of chapters—Several. Number of members—A few. Poker Delights Them has its house this year on Bassett Court, opposite Dr. Tigert’s home. The house has an outside staircase and a piano, hence it is very attractive to the hard-working (?) members. The local chapter possesses a large number of alumni, who visit often and usually leave some little reminder. Jim Park came in last fall and left an epidemic of chickenpox. The emblem of P. D. T. has recently been changed to three billiard balls rampant over crossed cues. Meetings are held in the Phoenix poolroom nightly to discuss the high cost of cigarettes. Phi Delt in scholarship is supreme—supremely lacking. No Fresh- man should pledge himself until he has investigated Poker Delights Them. Then he will realize what fraternity life means and will remain a barb. Meaning—Shoota Nickel, which is the price of admission. Founded—Late one night by some alleged athletes who were afraid to go home. Number of chapters—Two; the football team and the one on East Maxwell. Number of members—Maury Crutcher and three others. Dead ones not counted. Shoota Nickel is noted for several things, including the elegant gaboons in its drawing room (Mechanical Hall). To be eligible, one must chew tobacco faithfully, although it is said that two members got in without this qualification. They had cars. Since they left for other fields of endeavor, walking has been indulged in by the chapter quite fre- quently. The membership threatened for some three months to throw a dance at the Phoenix, and finally by force of public opinion it was duly thrown. The University’s policy of watchful waiting evidently bore fruit. The snake on the emblem was discovered by one of the founders at the bottom of a long green bottle, which is only another example of the theory that there is an internal fitness of all things. (276) Sigma Nu Meaning—Profs Kept Angry. Founded—As a protest against higher education, Milwaukee, Wis. Number of chapters—At least one too many. Number of members—Usually eight before exams; three afterward. Pi Kaps are noted for the interest they take in college affairs. Yes, they do, Clar- ence; we know it. One Pi Kap was known to go to class twice in a single week, and we can prove it. Nobody knows why he did it, either. In athletics, this association of great minds is usually the winner of interfraternity league championships. The local chapter probably has more great athletes who are too lazy to go out for Varsity teams than any other frat. There is a tradition to the effect that a member in a Northern university achieved a bachelor’s degree in only four years. Being in great doubt as to the authenticity of the report, we await further advices from the front. The motto of the fraternity is: “Never kick the bucket, boys; there may be some suds left in the bottom.” (277) gsf | jiJv ■ ■ Kappa Sigma Meaning—Kinda Slow. The name should be amended to Extremely Slow; that is, in matters connected with the University. Speaking of the Phoenix Grill, the members are very rapid, two being ten-second men. Founded—Certainly. That type of fellows has to go somewhere. Why not get them together and let them worry each other. Number of chapters—107 in Lexington; national figures too vast to compute. Number of members—Half a dozen in good years. This is a bad one. Kappa Sig had a brag year in 1916, for did not one regular member really graduate? He did, and his brothers promptly erected a monument of cigarette butts in his honor. This fraternity (we got two-bits for using the term) gives a camping party on the Kentucky River every June, hoping thereby to get some girls to notice it. A certain young lady who attended one of these alleged parties stated that the Kinda Slows were the biggest fish who ever bathed in the old stream. We are inclined to agree. They use the camp as an excuse for not giving any dances or social affairs. Some pledges were secured this year, due to the well-known and highly respected ignorance of Freshmen. The frat colors are scarlet, green and white, the natural colors of nocturnal elephants and giraffes. (278) Alpha Tau Omega Meaning—Always Tired Out. Founded—Yes, but nobody knows why. Number of chapters—One at least. Number of members—By weight, largest at the University. Always Tired Out is located on South Upper street, exactly twice as close to the Leonard Cafe as to the University Y. M. C. A. This is because it is figured that Bart Peak and Harry Milward are the best walkers in the fraternity. This fraternity, if it may be so called, has always picked its pledges for their avoirdupois—physical, certainly not mental! Anybody who weighs more than 1 65 pounds can get in. In fact, anybody else can get in. Every fall Freshmen complain that the A. T.

(Don’t they, now? They do.) Founded—By a law student who was weary of the regular burlesque shows, Cin- cinnati, 1910. Number of chapters—Four, «fl moribund. Number of members—Plenty of that sort. Delta Chi has on its emblem the word “Leges.” The founder had been to the Standard and the word refers to the chorus girls. He had not been educated up to simplified spelling. The D. C.’s have a house on East High street, with its backyard fronting on the railroad tracks. An empty gondola is always close at hand to receive the empty bottles. Furthermore, they eat in the house; or, rather, they think they eat. Tastes differ; also ideas. Delta Chi has not gotten into the Pan-Hell and Nick yet, but is within hailing distance. If the law college persists in taking anybody into the course Drink Contentedly may find many more pledges. Formerly the Delta Chi’s lost many men, who look off their pins after they had been wished on them. This difficulty is now obviated, as they pledge nobody whom anybody else wants. It’s very simple if you know how. i Morris Pendleton A dashing youth—Lord Chesterfield With hair li e burnished gold. A deadly eye, a cigarette— A ladies' man most bold. Curtis F.

Getting Into a Sorority ____ OME of our Freshman girls have written to ask how they may get into a sorority. We are very kind, but we must break the news, gently but firmly, m that it cannot be done. There are no sororities; what once were such are Jr now feminine fraternities or female brotherhoods. If we were so inclined 7 we could go into the deeper shades of etymology and explain to them exactly 11 why “fraternity” is much more expressive and appropriate than “sorority” ' J when applied to girls’ Greek letter societies, but we are pressed for time. ---------Please believe us when we say that all Freshman girls must be satisfied with making fraternities, if they have that kind of social ambition. Go on and make them, if you just have to, but remember that marriages, which are made in heaven, are very seldom successful. What chance has a fraternity, which was made on earth and con- tinues to struggle along in Patterson Hall? We bow to the inevitable. A sorority is a fraternity in petticoats now. Bill Shakes- peare asked long ago, “What’s in a name?” and referred to the fact that a rose would smell just as sweetly if it were called an onion, or words to the same effect. So it is with a sorority; it is just as sweet if it is a fraternity. Everything is all right with the cologne factories. There is no trouble in getting into one of these brotherhoods, Gladys. The trouble is in surviving the rushing season, the endurance test which every Freshman girl must undergo before she can be taken into the mystic bonds of fellowship that insure at least two dates a month. We would give twenty cents to see the battle of Verdun and two- bits for a reserved seat for a full-grown, rantankerous earthquake. At those rates rushing season is worth at least fifty cents a day while it lasts. Conscience and reason forbid that we give a recipe for getting in, but we will tell you how the racket operates, and maybe you can inform your little sisters how to escape when they come here for higher education. Complete plans for a strenuous campaign are laid before matriculation begins. The unsuspecting Freshman, fearing nothing and conscious that she looks lovely in her new coat suit, smiles most graciously at Jimmy Lyons and the boys who are now Sophomores and correspondingly superior. Little does she suspect what fate has in store for her. Going to Patterson Hall, she receives the first jolt, for does she not learn then and there that nobody but the P. D. Q.s or the Alpha Alphas, as the case may be, amount to anything here or elsewhere? She does. Is not that the only fraternity that Curtis Park and Doc Lamaster and Lloyd V heeler honored with visits last week? It is, and next week Tilford Wilson will be around. About two days later the real battle begins. The Freshman is accompanied to class and carried safely back to lunch. At chapel hour she has George Mathews to take her to the lunch stand. She has six picture show parties a week and two teas a day. (Two girls left college in October with their constitutions ruined by too much oolong.) She (283) «= , i.jH tJ -odt. i'-'-.

She is carefully tended and eagerly watched by all the campaigners, lest mayhap the winds of the heavens touch her cheek too roughly. She really gets to believe that the University is but the stamping ground for her talents and holds that little head very proudly. The boys like her and sympathize with the plight she is in; the girls do everything short of hair pulling for possession of her. If our Co-eds ever go out after husbands with the same determination they display when they want fraternity sisters, Lord protect the strongholds of bach- elorhood. But we wander. At last she receives a written invitation to become one of the brotherhood. Pledge day arrives; worn out and a nervous wreck, the Freshman can do nothing but succumb. She yields, notifies the conquerors and goes to her room for a long sleep. She has earned it. She is signed up; she can do nothing but wait till next year and rush the poor Freshmen again. In the active chapter there is mingled joy and consternation. The lambs are in the folds and the goats are herded in their separate flocks. It is all over, the rush has ceased, and Miss Hamilton is able to persuade some of the girls to go to class once in awhile. It’s endurance that counts. A Local Fact-Fable THERE was once upon a time a lad who came to the University from the Tall Timber. Being as other Freshmen, wealthy in worldly goods and poverty stricken in intellect, he believed firmly that all one must do in order to talk over the tele- phone to a fair damsel in Patterson Hall was to look in the telephone book, find the number of the Home of the Skirt who had his number and ask that she come to the phone and listen to his backwoods line of infinitesimal conversation. Being an extreme optimist, he proceeded to put the plan into execution. He called two-four. A feminine voice answered; at least it must have been feminine in the long ago; and he asked that the Height of his Desire be asked to push her face against the receiver. How little the poor fool knew! “You’ll have to call 2988,” the used-to-be-feminine voice returned. “This is a business phone.” Still unsuspecting, the youth called 2988. It was busy all sixteen times he called. Finally he was told that the receiver was down and 2988 could not be roused. There- upon he cursed, asking whinethehell anybody would pay for a telephone to talk over and then fix it so no one could talk. He did not know that Seniors could not understand that, but he got even just the same. He found a new Heart’s Desire who lived out in town and could go to the movies on Sunday. MORAL.—If you have to talk to that place, get a megaphone and shout from your back window. (286) A Farmer’s Dissertation On a Kiss F the many meanings that have been attributed to this word, “a kiss is an idealized bite,” is probably the best. Practically speaking rhetorically, a kiss is nothing more than a contact between the labial appendages of one and the person of another, but from the standpoint of esthetics, it often baffles description. The question of which is the best way to kiss is one that is disputed, but to our view the best way is to kiss often. This parasite of society is not limited to any stratum of society: it is practiced from Greenland to Peru and from Dover west to Calais. Neither is the practice limited to the dowagers and flappers of society’s 400, but extends to the environs of the Yahoo, the Yap, and the omnipresent family of the ancient order of Hicks. The kiss is met in a number of forms and in many phases of elaboration, the most common local variety is the one that is known as the college or campus. In Thibet, the tarsophalangeal is a very comprehensive form, all of these forms are equally pleasing under the particular environment of the subjects for consideration. The old saw about the olives in the bottle needs revision, and a more proper state- ment at this time would be that after the second has been attained the rest follow rapidly. It is not difficult to get the first one if he watches the time and grabs the opportunity and the girl, but excellent maneuvering is necessary to bridge the gap thus created and secure a mate for the first. A kiss may be the food of love, but dietetically speaking, however low the food value, no sensitive calorimeter is needed to detect the warm current of affection that flows with it. Many girls like to be kissed, but they hate to begin, so they save their supply and then give them away to the first misfit that appears. The extrinsic value of a kiss is negligible, while on the other hand the intrinsic value is immensurable, except by the strictest use of logarithms. Five years ago the expression, “soul-kiss,” was coined, to explain a certain condition, and was said to be “a new-fangled brand of kiss in which the ordinary pleasures of oscu- lation were combined with those of suffocation.” The modern definition, and one that is now applicable, is: “A soul-kiss is a process by which two persons are able to live for a certain length of time in an anaerobic condition, and not only to live, but to survive for considerable periods of time.” Much data is available bearing on this phase of the sub- ject, but it is as yet unpublished. Kisses, like clothes, are just a matter of taste. It is a disputed question whether it is more blessed to give than to receive, but to our mind it is equally blessed to give and to receive, and excellent examples have been cited to prove that reciprocity has its advantages. A kiss is the elucidative note of love and is best expressed in the absence of discord. Kisses are said to be unhealthy—and truly so, since they tend to cause softness of the brain, insomnia, absent-mindedness, mental astigmatism, animadversion and blind- ness to certain people’s faults. (288) A A kiss emanates the joy of life. Mere man is rarely able to psychologize a kiss. One authority says that a kiss is the bonafide agent of love. Osculation might be said to be the net profit accruing to a state of pubo, of two pairs of lips, selected from a large population. A kiss causes pseudennesia. A kiss is the extemporaneous education accruing to a promenade, a proposal, or a dance in the moonlight: and we think that it may be said to be prophecy heralding the complete understanding of love. They also call for the perpetration of echolia of expres- sive but harmless adjectives. A kiss is the efficient effuvial emanation of efficacious educorativeness, effervescing the ecstasy of extreme emotion. A kiss is the agent that is often the means of conversation to any state of mind. The other requisites are chiefly a pair of shimmering, shady depths, a peach-blush cheek, incorporated in a most charming personality. A kiss often is the amyl nitrate of life—at once a heart stimulane and a mental myopia. The effects of kissing resemble to a certain extent those of acute alcoholism, the sub- ject performing many peculiar actions in a state of coma or mental amentia. Men like to be the first to kiss a girl, but girls prefer to kiss a man who has had some experience. If the man has had no experience, the girl hasn’t the satisfaction of think- ing she got him away from some other girl. A girl that has never been kissed is generally a good student, doesn’t go to many dances and never wears an engagement ring. A high medical authority thinks that the amygdaloidal condition of the convolutions of the cerebellum may be superimposed by the excessive participation in the practice of osculation. It is a difficult matter to disassociate a kiss from a girl, and the cynic says that if kisses were liquid, many would be submerged. Kisses cause two things; first, amazement, and second, engagement, and may also be a means for determining the hypothesis for the old saying, “Two hearts beat as one.’’ The word, kiss, is used by the physcist to describe the diasthermic action of the rays of two mutually congenial bodies. Kisses have never been discounted at banks (not including the banks of streams), even in the face of pay-on-demand notes. Like oil and water, and Hebrews and Irish, kisses and onions don’t mix. If kisses left scars, then ours would be a battle-scarred republic. Kisses have never been discounted at banks (not including the banks of streams) incidental expenses of love. The list price and the par value of a kiss is widely variable, but plungers find pleas- ure in squeezing the market. I he diaphaneity of a kiss is evident to everyone. A kiss may lead to an elopement or to alimony. (All rights reserved. By permission.) (289) J. F. Loomis. Hamlet at the University of Kentucky To bone, or not to bone: that is the question: Whether ’tis better on dry books to squander The happiest hours of college existence, Or to forget the stings and insults of unsympathetic profs, And by ignoring them enjoy life? To flunk: to fail; An “E”; and by that “E” to say we end The headaches and the thousand sleepless nights Before examinations; tis a state of bliss Too grand for conception. To flunk, to fail; To fail: perchance sent home: ay, there’s the rub; For when we’re sent home the devil’s to pay When we, wagging our baggage in, shall say To Dad, “I’ve flunked : there’s the respect That makes calamity of college life. But who would bear night after night to toil, To write chem lectures, Mightie Maxon’s vociferous roaring, Bull-Neck’s physics, Monk’s geology and Downing’s astronomy and the ridicule Red Farquhar hands out to his English classes, When he himself might be having a good time With none of these to worry him? Who'd this existence bear, To cuss and rave under such oppressions, But that the fear of being sent home to Dad, That source whence cometh all this kale we spend On Patt Hall damsels at the Ben Ali And Fayette Drug Store, checks our recklessness And makes us rather fake through the best we can Than face the consequences of a flunk with Dad? Thus poverty often makes good fellows of us all; And thus a resolution to get by the profs With a little boning comes rather reluctantly; And poker games and dancing schools with all their fun— With this hard luck their expectancy vanish And all amusement with it! Soft you now! An Irishtown dance! Paradise! Who the devil Can study when there’s a dance in Irishtown? F. O. M. The Last Stand of the Old Guard WAS murky midnight on the campus. The glowing reflections from the millions of lights in the Old Dorm cast a glistering glow upon the purling waters of the Italian lake and scintillated bravely from the polished edges of the old tin cans which accommodating garbage men had beneficently thrown down from its precipitous shores. Life was apparently at high tide in the dormitories, for was not the football season in full sway? It was; and no one dared go to bed before the witching hour lest mayhap he should lose something of the gossip which flowed more freely than Billy Bradley’s prod- uct. To one located somewhere on the chicken ladder between Patt Hall and the Ed building it would have seemed that life was at its high tide at twelve, midnight. But even University students must sleep at least three hours a night in order to keep up enough vitality to stand chemistry lectures and English Department pedantry. One by one the lights died out behind the palace walls; one by one those bloated plutocrats who had sheets crawled between them, and those who did not drew the blankets up to their dimpled chins. Usually this process involved the uncovering of sundry toes, the blankets being usually too short. But we pass that by, as this is not a recital of the habits of dorm rats. Say only that the lights winked painfully and fitfully and died away. Only the song of a few belated October mosquitoes vied with the tinkle of the water as it rushed into the sewer under Limestone street. Silence reigned almost undisputed. But the light in the northwest corner room on the second floor of the dorm did not flicker, for Frank More Littlebit sat there immersed in thought and perspiration. The darkness of the night did not appeal to him; he wanted a foil for the dusky tinge of his schemes. His roommate, Fuller Sapp, had long since put on his skull-cap and crawled to the second deck. Littlebit knew his work was cut out for him; he knew that the class elections were in process of fermentation. He remembered the time, only a year since, that he had been a candidate himself and had almost spilled the soup material when he coquettishly said he did not care to be President. Someone had wanted to take him at his word; the memory of that incident made him perspire freely. He had called a meet- ing of his lieutenants to see in what manner the election would be won. Ere long the first guarded tap at the door was heard and in the twinkle of an eye the innermost circle of the Ancient Protectors of the Gang had gathered. Unto the great potentate came J. Peter Sliketts, the demon Ag; Lloyd Chambers, his running mate, and that forensic giant, Leroi Slott. All these were distinguished in that they had never held office and desired to do so. Ivan the Terrible Gabby came in but a moment later, with a nomination speech thought out and ready to be delivered. Nothing was lacking. Yes, something was lacking. The Ancient Protectors had no candidate. But Lit- tlebit was too old a campaigner to let a little thing like that keep him long. He knew what to do. He would send to Bulling Grin for one. He got him later, grin and all, but that is, of course, to come later in our story. “What this order wishes to do, I believe,” he said, “is to divide the offices equitably —that is, we must not allow any law students to have offices. This class belongs to me —and the Ags.” You see he knew all about politics. Everybody agreed that the offices should be alloted equitably. The ticket was easy. Littlebit had them picked. Instructions were given to the crew. Above all no word of warning was to be given until the non-frat caucus was held. Then, like a bolt from the blue empyrean, the name of the dark horse, Mighty McMurphy, and the smaller potatoes were to be hurled at the law students and others who felt that everybody ought to have a chance in picking the candidates he wanted to support. Life looked rosy to Littlebit; from the throne he was to descend and be the power behind it. The confer- ence was over. Rumbling came to his ears from the third floor of the Science building, but having set the machinery in motion nothing was to be gained by listening. Wise Tamerlane, the leader who had stood before the Old Dorm every day last spring and had even gone so far as to pay his class dues, was reported to be a candidate for the exalted office of president. His cohorts backed him. Littlebit cared nothing; his mind was made up. The caucus came and went, and so did the lawyers. McMurphy, the dark horse, was nominated and it was reported officially that he could make speed in the mud. Every- body knows now how much mud was slung and how Me ran in it. The law bunch, denied recognition, went for it in other quarters and got it. After some fusion and much confusion a ticket was fixed up. Talk was thick and fast. Con- fusionist tickets were sprinkled round the campus and Littlebit’s candidates decided they needed cards, too. Satiric articles appeared in the papers. Both sides bluffed about having money to bet. None was bet. Finally McMurphy came to town and everybody went to see what he looked like. Satisfied that he was fully equal to the occasion, they went home again determined to vote for somebody. The great day came. The oratory dispensed by both sides was terrific in volume and awful in intensity. Some poor simp cheered once about something. Littlebit pre- sided, and at the end of the affray made a most touching little talk on the hard life of being a class president, which was not at all cheering to his successor. Amid the cheers of the plebiscite McMurphy thanked the lawyers and the fraternity men for cheering him. As many as possible were satisfied; the others had to be. The Old Guard had died on the field of battle, but it had not surrendered. Littlebit, shorn of his greatness and the glamor that invests the public servant, went down the steps and out into the October sunshine. A well-meaning Junior called to him: “How did your mud horse run, Littlebit?” “My horse,” he answered, “would have run better if he hadn’t had the Ricketts to-day. (294) Lykelle Poems By Franklin Corn Young Sappy Sid was leaving home— For college he was bound. “Dear ma, he said, I’ll drink no suds Nor at a bar be found.” Sid’s graduated now And never broke his vow. The day was dreary, cold and bleak; A chill was in the breeze. One Jones was “broke” and out of funds; He still wore B. V. D.’s. He wore ’em all the season— “More healthful,” was his reason. Home husband came at 2 A.M. He smashed the goldfish bowl. And in his wife’s new Autumn hat He kicked a mighty hole. Friend wifey saw and heard, But uttered not a word. The Kaiser read our Woodrow's note; His brow was knit in thought. Herr William then did swear aloud, “I’ll do just what I ought— I love his stylish notes; I’ll spare friend Woodrow’s boats.” Beneath the lazy summer moon A maid and youth once sat; “One kiss,” she said, “you now may have— No more nor less than that.” “Ah, no,” replied the worm, “I fear the deadly germ.” She ate Welsh rabbit, fudge and cake Before her lover came, Then would not eat the sweets he brought, But said, the dainty dame: “As always, dear, tonight My appetite is light.” A pretty maid cast naughty eyes At William Thomas Jones. She sweetly showed her pearly teeth And spoke in liquid tones. But Jones ignored the “skirt ; He simply wouldn’t flirt. The taxicab stood at the door A long and care-fraught hour, And when sweet Sadie made excuse For lingering in her bower Our hero, smiling still, Was glad to pay the bill.

(301) An Editorial 0 some of our readers it may seem that the function of an annual, and more especially of a feature section, is to be merely light and airy, to reflect only the evanescent side of college life. To a large extent, that is true; we are not killjoys, and we have done what we were able to do toward lightening the remainder of the life of our class on the campus. But we feel that we may be pardoned for pointing out a condition that exists and suggesting a remedy. There is too much strife among us when there should be harmony. A university should be a community of interests, in which the faculty and the students have definitely assigned relationships. In some universities these relationships are recognized and respected; with us they are not. In the minds of many of us there exists a suspicion that a Freshman comes to the University to spend four years in the gath- ering of knowledge and the making of friendships. Unquestionably, these are the main objects that bring him to us. To a certain extent, he should hold the welfare of his Alma Mater his own concern, but when it comes to the point where he thinks he should usurp the duties of the administrative forces he has overstepped his bounds, unless the faculty and the administration are really incompetent. Our faculty has the duty of making raw material into citizens of which America and Kentucky may be proud. In performing that duty it must needs command the respect and obedience of its students. The Freshman should be made to realize that the faculty knows more about conducting a university than he does. It is difficult to impress this fact when charges appear perennially in the daily papers and controversy holds the minds of his teachers from their work. Where is the necessity for politics within the faculty? We need more co-operation—co-operation of student with student, of faculty with faculty member, and of faculty with student. We feel that if this book will in any way promote a better feeling in alumni, faculty and students, its trials and hardships have not been endured for naught. (302) HE little white hen that broke the world’s record for every-day in-and-out egg laying was, for a time, the main source of news for the daily papers of our fair city. Every day she brought us eggs; every day the fanfare of trumpets resounded and her name was emblazoned on the front pages of our noble journals. The 1917 KENTUCKIAN sent its star reporter out one day to work the shell game and gel us a story on this prodigy of the barnyard. We reprint below his misguided observations: She was pleased with my appearance. Evidently she liked my Gothic style of architecture. As usual, I was embarrassed. It is always very hard to learn a chicken’s name, according to Bill Sutton, and naturally I was in doubt as to whether I should call the champion Mrs. Hill or Lady Walnut. Compromising, I decided that “Old Kid” was the proper term. “Old Kid,” I enunciated, “you have broken all records known to man.” Then, fenring that I might be misunderstood, I added, “that is, in egg laying.” Our heroine accepted the amendment “Really, it’s nothing,” she replied, “although I must admit it was a deep-laid plot that enabled me to win the honors.” Thereupon she kicked a cinder in my eye. I wiped away a tear. “You have near relatives, I believe,” I said. “Yes, my brothers and sisters are scattered to the four corners of the globe. Ah, there was one black sheep in the family,” she answered. A large tear rolled slowly down her face and fell with a splash into the water trough. “Why, he was a regular stew before he reached manhood. Then one of my sisters was picked for a millionaire’s wife, but, alas, we never heard from her afterwards. Our family has really become dismem- bered, but I would rather not speak of that now on this great day in my life.” Leaving her to her grief, I went to the Expernment Station officials, who added the following to my long list of anecdotes: So many telephone calls came to the Experiment Station on the day Lady Walnut Hall broke the world’s egg-laying record that an extra man was placed at the desk to answer inquiries. This is one of the conversations: “Hello! Is this the Experiment Station?” “Yes.” “Could you tell me whether—ah-ah—what’s her name—has—ah-ah-ah—’ “Yes, she just laid her eighty-third egg an hour ago.” “I understand, but I wanted to know whether Miss Jones, the stenogiapher, had returned.” Why Not? (An editorial modeled in style and theme after sundry editorials which have appeared in “The Kentucky Kernel” from time to time.) HE University of Kentucky has no stadium. Other univer- sities have stadia. Why should Kentucky lag behind? We have the facilities for a stadium such as Yale’s—on a smaller scale, of course—and with a small and judicious expenditure we can erect one suitable for any demand that can be made on it in the next decade. Let’s examine some of our University’s expenditures during the past few years. Take Stoll Field, for instance. Several thousands of dol- lars were spent in making the bronze tablet for the field in the Depart- ment of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. To the credit of the architects who designed it, Messrs. Anderson and Frankel, let it be said that the plans and specifications were made absolutely without cost, at the risk of neglecting the heavy business which the firm does throughout the State. In addition to this tablet, the football goal posts had to be painted at an added expense of hundreds of dollars. And if the war had not made paint go higher the supply purchased would not have cov- ered the posts farther up than the crossbars. Moreover, a large sum was spent in putting barbed wire on top of the board fence in order to make students wiggle under or else break off slats to come through. This was necessary. The fence is so high that climbing over it is dan- gerous. We must look after the safety of our students. Let us consider also the co-educational footpath which was built from the campus to Patterson Hall at a large expense. A great im- provement! Now the co-eds can rise when the first whistle blows and be only thirteen minutes late instead of fifteen as before. When we to- tal the time saved in a scholastic year by the Rocky Road the results are astounding. Usually about 130 girls live at the hall. Two minutes each saved per day amounts to 260 minutes. For a scholastic year the time saved altogether is approximately 65,000 minutes, or 1,083 hours. Estimating on a basis of I 0 cents per hour, which is a fair value for the average co-ed’s time, we get a grand total of $108.30 saved the Uni- versity each year. We do not wish to quarrel with the established order of things. But the student body wants a stadium. We have none; therefore we must have one. Here is our suggestion: Remodel the sink hole beyond the old Chemistry Building by leveling the floor and putting in a concrete bottom with concrete seats around the sides. Make it water-proof and use it the year round. In winter it can be used for a skating rink, if ice can be induced to form on it. In fair weather it can be used for the annual Philosophian play and for breeding mosquitoes for experimental purposes in the Department of Zoology and Entomology. By all means, let us have a stadium. Mechanical Mike Mechanical Mike was a harmless tyke, Who wore himself out with study. He went to class in order to pass And ruined his complexion so ruddy. His kid appetite was never right, And his eyes were on the blink, For the Ada Meade put him off his feed, And the Co-eds made him wink. He swung a hammer with an awful clamor. And worked in the forge shop, too. Then once in awhile, to be in style. He went on a terrible stew. He worked too hard and his mind was marred, But he got through just the same. The mechanical life was a lot of strife And made him sick and lame. He’d a bunch of work that he’d never shirk— ’Twas a tale to make you weep— And he swore aloud that the lawyer crowd Had nothing to do but sleep. Oh, he’d worked so hard for a Senior card When everyone else had ease. Yes, Mechanical Mike was very like The other Mechanical E’s. (309) Army Regulations STUDENT BATTALIONS COURTESIES Upon meeting the Commandant, privates must salute, whistle the opening strains of the “Star Spangled Banner” and stand at attention until recognized. If not recognized, the cadet must remain in position until further orders from the War Department.—A. W. 642. Upon seeing the United States flag the private must salute, uncover if covered, execute present arms, face toward the flag and whistle the national anthem. (If alone the private may sing instead of whistle.) — A. W. 183. Privates will salute student officers as above (A. W. 642). Stu- dent officers will recognize salutes with a kick. Privates must, therefore, never face student officers when saluting.—A. W. 964. CEREMONIES The battalion must fall in for inspection, and no cadet is allowed to fall out with the officers. Cadets must wear inspection uniform, which consists of one cap, one coat, a collar, a shirt, a pair of shoes, some pants, leggings, suspenders or belt, socks and a pair of unmentionables. Any man appearing with- out even the last named is subject to fine and imprisonment. A shave is required. Only in active service do privates hide be- hind bushes. Bow-legged cadets need not bring their knees together at attention. What the Lord has put asunder, let no man join together. No privates may look at girls going past. Neither must he throw kisses at them. The privileges of officers must be carefully preserved.— A. W. 666. Investigating As She Is Did The following questions were asked by the Governor’s investigating committee in its effort to get at the bottom of charges of misconduct of the University’s affairs: 1. In your opinion, is the word, “consolidation” the proper term to use in referring to the merger of the three colleges of engineering? 2. In your opinion, should the President of the University be allowed to room at Patterson Hall? 3. Do you think economy and efficiency would be promoted by painting the mess hall green instead of white? 4. Can you suggest a more efficient distribution of the University’s cuspidors, and do you believe a merger in that direction would be beneficial? 3. Are you in favor of universal military training and woman suffrage? 6. Are students ever seen talking together on the campus? 7. If so, what do they talk about? 8. Do you think the dormitories would make good cattle barns if properly ventilated? 9. In your opinion, is Professor Paul Anderson’s automobile well cared for? 10. What is your opinion of the price of potatoes? 11. Do you think the removal of the fence posts around the campus was necessary? 12. Have you seen any pamphlets distributed on the campus? 13. Do you believe Professor Wilbur R. Smith should be allowed to advertise in that manner? Those who could not answer the above were automatically semester of Math under J.

(313) We Know Everything We know who the eleventh and twelfth girls in the popularity contest were. Perhaps you would like to know. We know that Frank Street belongs to the Mystic Circle. He does not admit it if he can protect himself. We know everybody who will really like the KENTUCKIAN. We are going to give a Ford party and let them sit on the back seat between Hammonds and Dinkle. We know why Pete Owsley stands in front of the postoffice daily. We know that the Fusion party was lucky. So was the University. We know why Elmer Robinson likes to read Luke McLuke. Also why Clifford Dotson likes Governor Stanley. We know that B. B. B. is from Bedford. Can you forget it? We remember the day the Commandant was in good humor. He did not even swear. That was when he was in the regular army. We know that M. U. Conditt is going to be a minister. He will then cease telling pointed anecdotes. We know why Red Jones carried “props” to the Philosophian show. Also why Mamie Woods got the star dressing room. John Marsh likes them big blue eyes. We know why Felix Renick is such an enthusiastic peacemaker. We know why everybody likes the feature section, too. The Joys of Getting Out a Kentuckian 1. Sleepless nights. 2. Inspirationless hours. 3. Gobboon in the wrong place. 4. Lost copy. 5. Ditto temper. 6. Impatient publishers. 7. Ditto subscribers. 8. Having editor-in-chief inform you that you are sixteen pages short and have thirty minutes to produce the deficit. 9. Have typewriter go wrong. (This t)ne has.) 10. Trying to get Seniors to pay class dues. 1 1. Girls afraid you go with them to get material for book only Their mistake. 12. Business Manager refusing to buy drinks. Maybe you think you can beat this section yourself. We believe you can. Write your jokes and make your drawings in the space be- neath. Then you can laugh.

It is a body August and incontrovertible, it believeth, In combinations and convocations. It delighteth to make Poor student simps drill every day for very love of patriotic Glory. Even more it loveth to give nine hundred D’s and E’s, for it knoweth that when students pass something Is wrong with its System. I love it for its Tergiversations and investigations; for its masterful Mathematics and its Charybdis and Scylla, which are Indeed only chemistry and English. Inexorable are its laws; it does not allow men To shear their fellowmen, but it alloweth its own Members to fleece their fellow profs. It kisseth the new student on the front tooth And swatteth him on the rear mightily at exams. I love it because it loveth itself And its medieval ways. I love it for its very faults; 1 love it Because it is a necessary evil, and Because I know full well That we must endure what we secure. (317) SIMPS� r - ■ emoriam :v JSEMEA7W THIS MARBLE TOMBSTOHE.

Our college days are almost over; our little loves and hates, our mimic struggles and our fleeting fame are going the way of all things mortal. A few months and the University of Kentucky will hold us but as the shadowy actors behind the dim footlights of Time, all but forgotten; gone to larger fields and leaving behind only our own consciousness of work well done. To the world the Class of 1917 means a few score new eco- nomic factors, who are to be weighed in the balances and found wanting or found worthy, but to ourselves we are the most important people in the world. We go forth with high hopes, clad in the armor of optimism and breathing the divine air of altruism. It may be that discouragements await many of us, but that is for the future. Today!—why, today is the best day in the history of all ages, for men and women are going forth educated to take their places in the affairs of the universe. The Kentuckian and its staff love you. We have endeavored to make for you a true history of the four happiest years of life. We bury the hatchet with the appear- ance of the first copy. Our puny shafts of wit are not dipped in the poison of hatred; they are intended to tickle your fancy rather than wound your sensibilities. Figuratively, we desire to place the kiss of peace upon the cheek of each of you. Actually, we desire to place it upon the cheeks of the co-eds only. Tonight, as we write this, we are sorry that our task is done. We regret that the cap and bells must be doffed for the cap and gown. We wish that the four years we spent with you might be forty-four. Good-night, sweet friends, and flights of angels guard thee on thy way. (319) Tribute to Dr. Joseph H. Kastle Given al the Chapel Memorial Service b ) Dr. Daniel ]. Healxj ESTERDAY the University lost her greatest son, and Kentucky one of her greatest sons, by the death of Dr. Joseph H. Kastle. As the years pass his fame will grow with the fuller appreciation of the greatness of his work. It is my good fortune to have known Dr. Kastle for a period of eighteen years. While Professor of Chemistry at the Kentucky State College, Dr. Kastle, alone and unaided, save by such student assistants as were available, in the old Chemistry Building with which you are all familiar, conceived and demonstrated the fundamental laws and principles of an entirely new field of chemistry. He thus gave to the world the pioneer knowledge of enzymes and internal secretions. I well remember that at this period, when he was full of enthusiasm for this new field, he thought of traveling in Germany, as many Americans do, hoping thereby to obtain some new knowledge, and that he wrote to Oswald regarding the mattei. Oswald, who at that time dominated German chemistry, answered that while they would be pleased to meet and know him, yet Germany offered nothing new for him. Here in Kentucky Dr. Kastle has mastered the science of chemistry, and Germany could offer him nothing new. When the Department of Chemistry of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service was established, the then Surgeon-General asked the three leading chem- ists of America—Loeb, of California; Wiley, of Washington, and Remsen, of Balti- more—to name a man who would be a suitable head for this department. Without con- sultation, they all named Dr. Kastle. From Washington Dr. Kastle went to Virginia to take charge of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Virginia. In 1911 it was our good fortune to have Dr. Kastle return to the Kentucky Univer- sity as Research Chemist in the Agricultural Experiment Station. Dr. Kastle returned to us because, above all things—above even his distinguished and brilliant success in science—he loved his friends and wished to live and work among them. A few years ago Dr. Kastle was offered the professorship of chemistry at Johns Hopkins University. This is the greatest chair of chemistry in the United States. Johns Hopkins University was his Alma Mater. He did not accept, because he wished to remain among his own people. He was born here; he was educated here; he did the work which gained him the recognition of the world here, and he wished to serve his own State to the last. His life was an inspiration to all who knew him, and will be a lesson 'to you. I will close with a short poem which Dr. Kastle recently penned for a dear and life- long friend: Swift run the sands, the hours speed on their way: Old friends depart—and youth was yesterday; Then grant us, Lord, some measure of content, Of love and happiness a surer sense, The patient strength to do life’s simple task, The faith to see in all—some recompense.

PHONE 1092-Y Recognized Leading Photographer of Central Kentucky Our Record is Clean Our Prices are Right Our Work is the Best Seven Prizes, Gold Medals, Bronzes and Diplomas for Superior Work 85 Per Cent of the Student Work of Lexington Done in Last Sixteen Years ♦ I m Tlie form in which our food is served may attract or repel just as the flavor may make it appetizing or the reverse. The demonstration of this fact through the use of Jell-O in the place of plain gelatine, in Domestic Science class-rooms, has- accomplished more than anything else in teaching the value of both form and flavor cf food. The student or the housewife who has adopted “the way” make up with absolute certainty of success the same beauti- ful and delicious desserts and salads that are produced by the masters of the cooking art. You may “shut your eyes and choose,” with no chance of disappointment. Jell-O is put up in seven pure fruit flavors: Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Peach, Chocolate. Each 10 cents at any grocer’s or any general store. Not only are the flavors pure fruit flavors but the full strength of the flavors is preserved by the air-tight waxed-paper “Safety Bags” enclosing Jell-O inside the cartons. The new Jell-O Book, just out, describes new Jell-O salads, “whips,” knickknacks, and dainties of almost unlimited variety. Recipes for every-day salads and desserts are given first place in it, of course, and particularly the new things in fruity Jell-O desserts.
