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

In "The Climbers," given Thursday
evening by the Strollers. The strong
cast culminating In the powerful interpretation of Dick Sterling's role by
Emery Frazler, was a cast of stars.
The financial success of the play was
equaled by an artistic success, a step
higher in that gradual line of remarkable Stroller productions.
Owing to the fact that the Kernel
went to press early Friday morning, a
complete review of the play will be
necessarily deferred to next week's

"A strange question was asked in a
strange book. A rich young man
went one day to the only source of
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
education, then sell your education
in terms of service to humanity. When
you have gotten your education, you
thing on
have the most priceless
earth, you have youth, youth with its
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."
