FRIDAY,

or "KENTUCKY"
There was a picture of the captain
of the football team of Ohio State University in last Tuesday's Herald under
the heading "Leading State to Victory
ThBs Year."
The writer attended a collegiate conference last year where no less than
five universities in various states were
giving yells for "State."
These facts precipitate the question:
why designate the University of Ken
tucky as "State"? When the official
name of this school was State Univer
sity of Kentucky, there was doubtless
a reason for calling it "State," but the
name was changed about five yearo
ago to "University of Kentucky,"

Expressions of doubt have been received regarding the things to be accomplished by the alumni. Some believe still that this organization is an
organization which, stirred into a semblance of activity, seethes for tho moment and gives off great clouds of
steam and smoke only to subside again
for a decade or longer.
Be you reminded that no great deed
was ever done without faith being in
the breast of those seeking to accomplish it. Never was an empire
built upon doubt. There are within
