J THE KENTUCKY ALUMNUS 9
1 ALUMNI DINNER
LOUISVILLE MEETING, APRIL 19-22.
Following up the success of last year, the Faculty has appointed Professors
Noe, Tuthill and Weaver a committee to open registration headquarters and
arrange for a reunion and dinner during the meeting of the Kentucky Edu-
cational Association at Louisville, April 19-22. I
Last year, nearly 125 alumni and former students registered, while 77 were
present at the dinner and voted unanimously to make it an annual affair. De-
tails are not yet known, but the dinner will probably be given at the Watterson
, on Thursday night of that week. All alumni, former students and friends of
{ the University will find this a most attractive opportunity for mutual profit and
g alumni enthusiasm.
  ERADICATION OF COMMERCIALIZED VICE IN LEXINGTON
The effort to wipe out commercialized vice in Lexington is succeeding even
better than those who hoped for the best were anticipating. The county and city
Q officials are co-operating with the Social Hygiene Commission and the "Red
` Light" district is gone and legalized vice is not tolerated in any part of the city
any longer.
The Social Hygiene Commission, of which Mr. George R. Hunt is chairman,
and on which the State University has a representative, is the successor to the
Vice Committee. This committee had experts from the American Social Hy-
giene Association brought to Lexington and an investigation was made along
the lines used so efficiently in other cities all over the country.
The result of this investigation was the passage of the new Vice Ordinances
by our City Commissioners and these are now being enforced—not in a make-
believe manner—but are really being enforced.
The Vice Commission, having done the work well that it was appointed to
do, was discharged and the Social Hygiene Commission was appointed to follow
up the work and to continue to co-operate with the city and county oiiicials.
A mass meeting was held at the Court House January 18, in response to a
call from this Commission, at which the Chairman, Mr. Hunt, made a report
of what has already been done and then a discussion was entered into as to
what must be done yet and how best to do it.
President Barker was one of the principal speakers at this meeting and the
friends of the State University will rejoice at the progress made in this great
work.
