  resigned on account of other duties. For similar reason, Mr. Bullock,
E editor of The Alumnus, resigned. So you see, the writer has caught the
it "job" and can’t turn it loose, and no one can befound who is willing to
lf give the time to this important work. The writer, therefore, has been
is doing the work the best he can, waiting for "developments"—jthe selection
  of Secretary (and Editor) and he trusts the ideal Secretary, if you please,
lj may be found-—one who is a wise and patient friend to every alumnus
ll and to every person in authority at the University; one who will submit
  to a lot of kickers and patiently strive to see that only the healthy kicking ·
  proves effective; one who possesses so much patiencethat he will submit {

 f part of the alumni and unwisdom on the part of the college authorities. ;
l ‘ The reason that this issue of THE KENTUCKY ALUMNUS is no better is L
As simply because of the lack of co-operation on the part of those whose `
 Ei duties are to help and those of you who can help and won’t. Ofdcers of
l   the clubs and class secretaries have been severely derelict in their duties,
  only a few consenting to answer important communications.

s` to the University. But why should it fail? There is only one reason
  (no good reason) and that is YOU. Some of you may not be able to
