STANDARDS ARE URGED

"Prevalent Unrest Exists In
the World Today."
Dean Stanley Coulter, of Purdue
""University, was .the speaker In Chapel
Tuesday. Dean Coulter Is one of tho
foremost scientists of the nation and
ie a speaker of personality and .eloquence. He gave the lecture here that
he gave at Cornell University more
than a year ago, and which brought
.pleasant criticism from all over the
country. Lucie Smith gave two charming delightful vocal selections.
Dean Coulter said in part: "America
is different from any other nation in
through
, the world in that it has lived
three distinct epochs. We have more
to be proud of than any other nation.
The third and greatest epoch Is today,
when there Is a prevalent unrest
throughout the world. The causes are
infinite. It is expressing itself never
s so much in the history of the world as
'today. We have' disregarded for law;
not open violation for law hut con- I tempt for law, forgetting that, in a
'nation such as this there is anarchy.
This age is utterly without standards.
VThe old standards have disappeared
"
'and new ones have not been erected.
Men. and women, what Is our task in
an age such as this? In some sort
.of fashion we must' supplant lawlessness, give to law the sanctity and res- pect it deserves. Erect new standards
"that every American will gather
around with unswerving allegiance.
This day of days is for strong men
and women. It Is given to your generation to attack these problems, to
beautify and uphold the standards of
courage, loyalty and respect for law
that our Pilgrim fathers brought to
this country. This is the time when
strong men see their task and do it.
The only question is, 'Are we large
"enough to see the opportunity that
.is thrust upon us?'
"Young men and women of the University of Kentucky, America and
calls to you to snatch up
. civilization
the broken sword, to save the great
cause in this heroic day peace,- loy- "alty and brotherhood be the standards
to which you and I can gather."

George Buchheit has gone away to
Sewanee with a team
hoping to bring back the
championship for the second time in
the year 1921.
He had a corking good basketball
team and we all kniw It. After several fiercely contested games on the
floor at Atlanta the squad brought
back the cups, laurels, praise, and
whatnot, and there was not a doubt in
the minds of anyone but that the University of Kentucky had the best team
and coach beneath that Mason and
Dixon line. i
And now, the young coach has
turned his attention to track and Sewanee. He took his .best men along
and by tomorrow night, the results .
will be made public.
The team has been laboring under
difficulties, namely: the weather. Every meet so far hed has been on a.
muddy track and there was, scarcely a
chance for record time. Clare is up
to his old form and In accordance
with his custom he will take both of
the hurdles, he will probably be entered in the 100 and he will more,
probably place.
Thornton copped off the
mile last
year and he is still better this year.
Hayden is up to form In the Javelin
and the school is looking for a first
from him. Porter has been steadily
improving and he will probably place
Snyder
in the mile and
knocks off tlfe quarter with ease and
he should make the best of them work.
Boyd, Wilhelm, Thornton and Snyder
compose a relay teain that is hard
to beat.
There is a man from Sewanee who
runs the hurdles and lie has tied the
world record, the school should worry, Clare will have a chance at him.
The following men left Thursday morn
ing and will return some time Sunday:
Hayden, Wilhelm, Clare, Porter, Sny
'
der, Boyd and Thornton.
