ber of the best students matriculated
in the institution was derived from
this source. The majority of the
counties of the State showed com
mendable anxiety and pride in keep

free tuition were still further enlarg'

was recast, in 1893, in order to bring
the legislations relating to the College
in conformity with the requirements
of the new constitution, as will be re

More Than 300 Former Students
and Friends of University
Present at Annual Dinner in Louisville
HELPS

Approximately 400 graduates and
former students of the University of
Kentucky, who now are teaching in
the schools of Kentucky, attended the
four-da- y
meeting of the Kentucky
Educational Association in Louisville
last week. Each one at some time dur
ing the meeting called at the Univer
sity of Kentucky headquarters to reg
ister in the Alumnia register which
was kept during the meeting.
One of the outstanding features of
the four day program was the Annual
University of Kentucky Banquet
which was held in the ballroom of
the Kentucky hotel Thursday night,
April 21. There were,350 present at
the banquet. The program was most
interesting and everyone present testi- fied to a most enjoyable evening. The
program was as follows:

history of the banquets in Louisville.
There were more than 50 members
of the club present. The officers of
the Louisville Club were responsible
for the sale of a part of the tickets
to the banquet and much credit is due
them for the interest created in Louisville.

were made orally and by brief. The
Appellate Court did me the courtesy
to allow me to file as a brief the argument which I had made in reply to
Judge Lindsey, when arguing the
question before the joint committee
of the General Assembly. The composition of the Appellate Court was
manifestly hostile to the College, and
if the- case had been passed upon
within a reasonable time after it was
submitted, the decision would undoubtedly
have been adverse. Of
the four members of the court only
Judge Pryor was known to be favorable to the maintenance of the tax.
He succeeded in holding up the case
until 1890. By this time the composition of the court was so largely
modified that Judge Holt, the successor of Chief Justice Hargis, to whom
the case was handed over by his co- -

adjutors, affirmed, in an able opinion,
the constitutionality of the tax.
The College meanwhile had been
growing slowly in public estimation
but the existence of the tax was plac
ed in jeopardy each time that the
General Assembly met. It was a con
stant struggle for existence. Mean
while, about 1885, a strong movement
began in Congress to establish exper
imental stations in connection with
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
leges established under the congres
sional act of 1862. Dr. R. J. Sparr,
Major P. P. Johnston, representing
the Boardbf Trustees, and I attended
the preliminary meeting in Washing
ton in the summer of 1885 the object
of which was to take the necessary
steps to prepare legislation for the
maintenance of an experiment station
in connection with the college orga
nized under the act of 1862. The
meeting was largely attended and an
able committee, consisting of Dr,
Atherton, President of. the State Col
lege of Pennsylvania, and Major
of Virginia, was appointed in
furtherance of the object in view.
