FACULTY

CLUB COMMENDABLE

STEP.

Faculty members are human beings. Startling as this statement may
seem at first glance, to some students, dt is nevertheless true. As such
they have certain inalienable and defensible rights that must bo respected.
One of these rights is that of associating in fellowship with others of like
status. Another is that of thinking his own thoughts and expressing them
on appropriate occasions in his own way.
It is with a view of asserting these fundamental rights of faculty members that certain professors and agents of the University have assembled
and organized a club, to be called Tho University Club. The Kernel takes
pleasure in welcoming this new organization to the campus. We wish it
all success.
If we are not mistaken, it is the purpose of this club to promote friendly relations among the members and to exist as a discussion center for
educational problems of the school and the State. The Kernel cannot
heartily enough commend both these aims. Too long has the university
professor been regarded as either an Intellectual tyrant o ran
encyclopedia. The remark with which we opened this animadversion
was meant in all seriousness, and the tone of flippancy which perhaps
could be found in its expression was merely on the surface. If the stu- dents of the University would taKe the trouble to make a closer acquaint
ance with their instructors than is possible in the classroom, the fine
friendship and broad friendliness which they would surely find, would most
amply repay them.
Professors have homes, on the average of higher quality, both in intellectual tone and in human sympathetic qualities higher than is known by
the average student. Our professors are gentlemen in the finest sense of
that word, ready to meet the student more than half way and give more
than he gets.
But the teacher in a university needs the companionship of minds
commensurate with his own in power and training, and to a deplorable
extent the opportunity to satisfy this need is lacking. In many cases the
circle of acquaintance is restricted to departments or at most, colleges.
This is a serious defect and one which the present effort is intended to cor- rect. It will, if successful, not only increase the joys, few as we conceive
them to be, of a professor's life, but they will at the same time increase
the efficiency of the faculty.
There is also the matter of discussion of educational problems. This
will be the largest field of outside usefulness which this club will be able
to touch. If the men who must meet these problems cannot solve them,
nobody can. Experience and ability and willingness they will bring to
the task, and their opinions should be the weightiest in determining the
action of functional bodies.
With these considerations moving us and a human sympathy warming our hearts to this enterprise, the Kernel again welcomes The University Club to our midst, and wish it full success in all its plans for the
future.

meeting nnd tho plan suggested was adopted. Tho Council which will bo
formed is to bo thoroughly representative, nnd Is to bo composed of cloven
members, Including nlumnl, citizens of Lexington, students, and faculty
members. Council appointments nro entirely In the hnnds of tho President of tho University.
One of tho purposes of tho work hoped to bo accomplished by tho
council Is tho nttninmont of cleaner sports in University athletics, by enforcing rigidly tho rulc3 of tho S. I. A. A., which provide that men must
bo matriculated and in good standing In their classes before they nro eligible to become members of athletic teams.
Tho Kernel recalls with regret, that nt times pernicious nctivlties on
champions of tho University have led to abuse of
tho part of
the rules intended to restrict tho teams exclusively to bona flde students,
and It Is confident that tho activities of this Council will mako It impossible
for tho University to bo open to criticism on this score hereafter.
Included in the plans Is also a cnnvnss of tho high schools of tho State
for the purpose of Interesting 'In tho University young men of athletic
prowess, not merely to become athletes, but most of all, to become students
of tho University.
Altogether, the Council is authorized to do all In its
power to promote the general welfare and good standing of tho athletic
activities of the University, nnd thus to bring this phase of tho work to
the place of dlstinctior which it deserves to hold.

BETTER SPORTS.

It Is with extreme gratification that the Kernel calls tho attention of
its readers to the announcement which appears on another page of this
issue of the paper, concerning the complete reorganization of the Athletic
Council of the University. There can be no doubt that students, faculty
members, and everyone interested in the welfare of the University will regard this as a step in advance toward a wider field of recognition in athletics than that which the University has hitherto enjoyed, and which the
Kernel believes it will henceforth enjoy under this scheme.
The plan of reorganization adopted had its origin in the disastrous result of the games which the Wildcats played this year on the football field,
and was also accentuated by adverse criticism of various alumni and citizens of Lexington, who, loyal to the University and recognizing in the
football team a valued medium of advertising, felt that the University
was not getting her full due when her strong football eleven came off of
the field defeated Instead of victorious. University officials, endeavoring
to ascertain the cause of these defeats, and realizing that the probability

The report of this committee was brought before the senate at it's last

He said that there are two things

"In the end," said Doctor McVey,
"a regime of tills kind will fail. Russia is bound to have real democracy
as wo have in America. It is necessary to maintain tho principles and
institutions that have been built up
in America and the student cannot do
his part unless he knows the situation

profound knowledge of American gov

"In closing," said President McVey,
"I would like to remind you of Secretary Lane's statement of the flag: 'I

more. But always I am all that you
hope to be and have courage to try
for. I am song and fear, struggle and

Is well that you glory in the making'."
