SKILL

The Philosophian Literary Society
will present as Its tenth annual dramatic production, "The Wolves and
the Lamb," by Thackeray, In the Little Theater, on the nights of April
22 and 23. It Is being rehearsed under
the skillful supervision of Professor
Farquhar, assisted by Lilly Cromwell,
president of the society, and the staff
of managers.
This play, by Thackeray, is a vitally interesting comedy, and in the material selected from the large numbers of applicants for parts in the
play, has been found histrionic talent
sufficient to put this production on
with unsurpassed success.
The story is of Mr. Milliken, a pros
perous merchant and a widower with
two children, who is taiten care of
and governed by his mother-in-law- .
Lady Kicklebury. His servants take
part whenever it is possible. His
brother-in-law- ,
Lord Kicklebury, has
come to pay him a visit of indefinite
length. He is a parasite, living on his
relatives as much as possible so that
It will not be necessary for him to
work.
Mrs. Milliken, Mr. Milliken's mother,
does her duty faithfully by coming
over every once in a while to see that
and incidentally
he is not
to give orders concerning the administration of his household.
Miss 'Pryor is governess for the
Milliken children. Howells, a servant
in the household, falls in love with
her and Mary, a maid in the household, is in love with Howells. Of

The financial success of the play was

"A strange question was asked in a

Information and inspiration and asked:
'What shall I do?' There' is no more
important question now for any student to ask," said Honorable George
Colvin, State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
at chapel Tuesday.
The board of trustees of the University was present at this chapel exercise.
Mr. Colvin continued:
"In my judg
ment, it does not matter much what
you do, but how you do it and your
attitude toward it The answer to
that question, 'What shall I do?'
translated into the modern language,
would mean go to school and get an

in terms of service to humanity. When
you have gotten your education, you

dreams, enthusiasm, sell it all in
terms of service to Kentucky. Unless you do this, Kentucky falls. Sell
your faith In life. I challenge you to
have faith in life. Believe that life
is just; believe that life is fine."
In addition, he said: "I am compelled to believe in the education of
all people, the democracy of opportunity; yet there must be an aristocracy
Deof achievement and leadership.
mocracy must mean democracy of opportunity for all children. There are
thousands in the Kentucky mountains
who would be here If they only had
the chance.
In speaking of the womanhood of
Kentucky, he said: "Never was such
a responsibility Imposed upon womankind as now. In the hands of the
womanhood of America Is held the
destiny of this nation, for ninety-eigh- t
per cent of the teachers of America
are women."

ASKS BOARD FOR HELP
President McVey read his quarterly
report at a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the University of Kentucky in the President's office yesterday afternoon.
The report summarizes the present situation at the
University on increased cost of operation, necessity for an increase in salaries, recent legislation affecting the
University, housing of students, housing facilities for faculty members,
sites for fraternity buildings, necessity for additional
buildings and
equipment, the Memorial Building situation, the University library, present
lack of organization among alumni of
the institution,
the Student Loan
Fund, and the development of special
departments.
"The increased cost of living for
students is rapidly becoming a men
ace to democracy," said Dr. McVey,
"and the increased cost of higher ed
ucation is making it more and more
difficult for Kentucky boys and young
women to procure a good education,
thereby limiting the possibilities of
their leadership. The day is past when
a man can reach leadership except
of
through training.
The majority
those of real native ability come from
homes where the income is small."

'THE PLAY'S THE THING."
Next Monday night in the 'Campus Playhouse, a group of University students will appear before an audience composed of studenjs, faculty members,
and citizens of Lexington, in the first program given In the interests of community drama.
It is impossible now to estimate tho value of this great movement which
had its auspicious beginning in the formal opening of the Campus Playhouse
on March 25. Undoubtedly its development will prove an influence
in its consequences; a tremendous factor in bringing about that
unity of sentiment and interests which make for the ideal community.
of man than
For truly there is no instinct more important in the make-uthe play Instinct. It is only those who have learned to play together who are
fully able to face and solve the graver problems of life together. And this
instinct reaches its highest gratification in the drama, whether the individual
witnesses, or better still, takes part in the production of plays.
In spite of the seeming mania for the screen and for the cheaper class
of drama, which characterizes tho pleasure - seeking crowds of today, there
is unmistakable evidence of a desire for some form of entertainment which
will arouse more than a light laugh and more than a passing thrill of excitement.
This has been foreseen by those who have arranged the tentative program for this initial season of dramatics in the Campus Playhouse. The pro-- '
ductions chosen were most happily selected for their artistic ability to please
the intellect as well as the emotions.
No institution can stand alone or be
in its activities, in this
day when it is possible for nation to reach out and grasp hands with nation.
The development of that mighty force known as community spirit, which received a powerful impetus in those days of nation-widduring
the World War, will not pause in its growth until citizens from all departments of the life of the city are ready to unite for the best interests of the
community. And it is only through leadership in the development of this
forco that the University may hold its place of dignity as the State's center
of higher learning.
Therefore the Kernel desires to congratulate, and in the name of the
student body, to thank those faculty members and students who have expended time and energy to make possible this new activity in the University,
an activity which it believes will break down many intangible barriers which
have always existed and prevented true fellowship between student and
student, student and citizen, student and business man.

"Wal, stranger," spat out Frizzy
As he took another chaw,
"I haint up yere for laming
But I know a lot of law
When it's dealing of the ladies
With mechanics in my jaw.
But these here verbal boquets
Are waning fast away
When Easter calls for cor
(Well, call them what you may)
And my sweet cookie wants one
So there's be hail to pay
When I go home for Easter
Where you greet the girls with

Lo, the Spring cometh and confusion relgneth in the heart of the student. His brain refuseth to function
properly, and his fancy turneth to
thoughts of first one thing and then
two. Even though the professor lov- eth a cheerful worker, and "A" cometh to him who laboreth earnestly and
diligently therefor, the Young Man
banlsheth thoughts of wisdom from
his mind, and turneth to Folly for
solace.
Verily, the age-oldisease of Spring
taketh a foul hold on his spirit, and
Work seeketh more fertile soils. Pep
loveth the Stude no more, and
its affections elsewhere. Yea,

"Tho measure of a university lies in
tho achievement of alumni and undergraduates of the Institution. "Wo
do not know of tho royal road to success, but wo aro sure of ono thing, It
does not run parallel with the line of
least resistance," Bald Julius Wolf,
nctlvo member of tho Tau Kappa Alpha fraternity, at the annual pledge
day exercises in chapel Friday, in
which tho following men were
pledged:
Clifford E. Smith, Nelson
B. Conkwright, John McKenzlo. Goo- bol Porter nnd Herbert Haley. Ed.
Hardin, active member, presided.
Continuing, Mr. Wolf said: "Popular applauso is small recompense indeed for the labor and the blows that
we receive in accomplishing.
"Somey
one must strive to represent
in oratory, and to carry the
standard of Kentucky on the rostrum."
Jasper McBrayer, of Lawrenceburg,
was the next speaker. After expressing his appreciation of the revival of
interest in oratory at the University
of Kentucky, he said" in part: "We
have heard it said that the golden age
of eloquence has gone. As long as
men have souls, and the heart responds to sentiments, oratory will
never die. To calm, to persuade, to
warn, to move to action, is the aim of
eloquence. The charm of the spoken
word will remain forever. As long
as misery and want are existent, the
orator will be demanded to speak for
the people." In closing, he said: "Let
use resolve, that here in the shadow
of the monument erected to one of
the world's greatest orators, will be
developed the spoken word, that the
future shall be greater than the past,
and to that end that the history of
Kentucky, rich with legend and gold
and romance, shall not die."
The Tau Kappa Alpha, honorary or
atorical fraternity, was organized at
the University of Kentucky in 1913.
Membership is open only to those who
nave represented Kentucky in oratory, and are a source of pride to the
University. Its aim is to uphold the
dignity of the University on th platform, to do honor to those who have
striven to uphold Kentucky on the
rostrum.
The active members are:
Milton Revill, L. F. Bisheoff, Julius
Wolf, Jasper McBrayer, E. Hardin and
