t 8 THE KENTUCKY ALUMNUS
‘ Since the last issue of The Alumnus, two new
0,,, hgut, clubs have been formed—one at Columbus, Ohio,
and the other at Detroit, Michigan. Both of
these clubs are made up largely of recent graduates and are full of "pep" and
enthusiasm. Their doings and activities will be watched with interest, as it is I
. confidently expected they will set a warm pace for some of the older clubs in .
this respect.
The Columbus Club is small in number, but makes up in enthusiasm. The
officers are: A. E. Waller, ,14, President; Phil E. Richards, ’I5, Secretary.
The Detroit Club is composed of twelve members and is a lively bunch, as
will be observed from the Secretary’s letter, John Esten Bolling. The Alumnus
has not been advised of the names of the other officers.
The Alumnus is pleased to introduce these infants to the Association and
congratulate the members on their loyalty and spirit of co-operation to the
Association and Alma Mater.

And say, "What’s that?"
If I should die tonight
And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel,
Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel,
I say, if I should die tonight
And you should come to me, and there and then
Just even hint ’bout payin' me that ten,
I might arise the while,
But I’d drop dead again.

Ky. The cause of his death is not stated in his biographical sketch. Perhaps _
