The Golden Jubilee, the University's
celebration of the completion of its
fifty years of life, was declared by
those who saw it last Saturday to be
the most unique event of its kind
ever held in the South and one that
was successful In every particular.
From the
the first event
of the program, thru the dance of Friday, the parade and the speeches and
the conferring of the degrees and the
burgoo Saturday morning, the dedication of Stoll Field and the football
game in the afternoon to the dances

with the baldheads and the Seniors
and their mustachios.
The principal exercises of the day
were held in the University chapel,
with President Emeritus James K.
Patterson and President Charles W.
Dabney, of the University of Cincinnati, making the principal addresses.
A crowd which filled the chapel witnessed the ceremonies and listened
.attentively to the speeches, while a
crowd far larger, disappointed in
their desire to get in, waited outside
on the campus.

Perhaps the most striking feature
of the entire Jubilee was the tribute
paid by each speaker to Dr. Patterson,
and the ovation which was given him
when he arose to make his speech.
President Barker, who introduced him,
said: "'Because he has lived the life
of the University, we have selected
to make this speech Dr. James Kennedy Patterson, who will tell the history of the institution from its beginning until now." Dr. Patterson's
relation of the struggles and tribulations undergone by the University in
its early days was a classic both
from the standpoint of English diction and of history, and only lack of
ipace prevents The Kernel from printing this speech and the other excellent talks of the day in full.
In clear and simple phrases Dr.
Patterson told of the battle made to
put the State College on its feet and
the fight against the, denominational
colleges, which attempted to have the
Legislature take away its incomo, of
the growth of that incomo from
annually to $140,000 in 1910, the
last year of his incumbency, and of
the success of the graduates of the

The Freshmen immediately formed

they all rushed thru the Ben All The

making other unnecessary noise. As

Cheer Leader Haffler has announced

that a football rally will be held in
the chapel tomorrow morning that will
eclipse even that of last week, and
every student who can possibly be on
hand should be with the bunch. The
game Saturday will be one of the
hardest of the season and the enthus
lastic support of the entire rooting
section will be needed to pull it across.
Last Friday one of the alumni referred
to the fact that there were more girls
In the chapel than boys, and the cheer
leader wants to seo a larger proportion of deep voices tomorrow.
Plans will be announced at the ral
ly for a bonfire to be held tomorrow
evening on the campus. The old fence
has been burned already, but it is believed that material can be secured
for the blaze without tearing down any
of the University buildings.
