of the University will be met.
The possibilities of good to be derived from such
building as the proposed memorial structure are unlimited. Various clubs and campus organizations could thus
be given homes. Students could be given better opportun
ity to associate wtih each other. The University would be
better advertised by reason of provision for certain attrac
tions and conventions that meet in Lexington. This paper
sincerely hopes that there will be no slip between contem
plation and erection of the memorial now under consider
ation.
Sixteen blue stars have turned to gold on the Uni
versity's service flag. Sixteen of the best men who ever
matriculated in the University have passed to our Valhalla. To show its pride, revere the honor and perpetuate the
memory of those sixteen heroes, the University of Ken
tucky can do nothing more fitting than cause the memorial
building to be erected.

last spring, in a nasty drizzle of rain, friend's of the unit,
including almost every student in the University gathered

Camp Taylor. The unit was then ordered overseas.
The return of the members of this unit has been heralded thruout Central Kentucky. Many students of the
University are personal friends of one or more members
of the unit. Several of the young men who served with the
Base Hospital in England will probably return to the University next September. Welcome home! In behalf of the
student body, the Kernel welcomes the entire unit back to
Kentucky. To former and future students of the University it extends warm and particular welcome. Further,
it offers congratulations to each member for the important
and unselfish part that he played in the war.

MEMORIAL BUILDING.
The University of Kentucky will honor the memory of
those sons who gallantly sacrificed themselves on the altar
of humanity in defense of their country. This was the
unanimous sentiment expressed by the Board of Trustees
in its last monthly meeting. Acting upon the report of an
unofficial committee composed of four men active in University affairs, the Executive Committee declared itself
in favor of the erection on the grounds of a commodious
Memorial building. In various ways during the European
war, sixteen fearless sons of old Kentucky met death.
They died heroes.
In the opinion of the Kernel no memorial more fitting
and, at the same time, more useful could be erected than
that proposed and favored by the committee. Would those
sixteen men who, in their prime, unselfishly offered and
freely gave themselves to America and her ideals, feel
greater honor, if it be possible that the dead yet share in
the experiences of the living, to know that their memory
had been perpetuated by a granite block or by a useful
building such as that under consideration ? If warm blood
were to course once again thru noble bodies, if vision
should come once again to their sightless eyes ; if flush of
youth could return to their wasted cheeks, would they
favor useful or useless memorial?
Plans for the memorial are but in the making. A tentative outline of the uses to which the building would be
put was published in last Thursday's Kernel. It was seen
clearly that if it materializes, and it is a cherished hope of
the Kernel that it will, the most urgent and pressing needs

ROBINS WILL SPEAK
Colonel Raymond Robins, head of
the American Red Cross Commission
in Russia, will speak in Lexington
Tuesday night, April 15. The Opera-hous- e
has been engaged so that as
many as possible of tho citizens of Lexington may have an opportunity tt
hear him.
He has won distinction as a social
economist, and has added to his reputation by his gift for leadership, his
power of oratory and his advocacy of
progressive measures. He is thoroly
acquainted with conditions in Russia,
and has the power to present those
conditions as few men have.
Colonel Robins spoke at the University about two years ago under the
auspices of the University Y. M. C. A.
His addresses on this occasion give
students cause to remember him and
desire to hear him again.

CURRENT EVENTS
AT PHILOSOPHIAN
The first of a series of programs on
Current Events was held at the Philosophian Literary Society Wednesday
night, March 26, at Patterson Hall
with Misses Julia Burbank, Lucy
Fannie Heller and Lucy Dean,
leading in the discussion. Among the
subjects were "The Japanese-AmericaControversy," "The Monroe Doctrine as discussed at .the Peace Conference," "The Condition of the Industrial Girl in Russia."
It is the aim of the program committee to devote one program each month
to the discussion of outstanding articles appearing in the leading magazines. This is to help to eliminate the
deplorable lack of information of the
students, caused by the lack of time
for reading carefully the newspapers
and magazines.
Four or Ave speakers are chosen
each month to give especially prepared
discussions, after which the meeting
is thrown open to general contributions, in which every member is urged
and expected to participate.
