A magic formula, a slogan, an advertising campaign complete ai to
detail. Any of these or another proposed by a member of the Alumni Association may win the capital prize.
One hundred dollars for the best
plan for GETTING THE RIGHT
RESULTS for the Alma Mater is the
offer. This plan is sought particular
ly for its bearing on the 1924 Legis
lature. If it measures up to the con
ception of those making the proposal
its benefits will be permannet.
The contest will close in May. Ad

SPREAD KNOWLEDGE
Alumni Call for Speakers in Greater
Kentucky Campaign
Many things are new about the
University.
Alumni
everywhere
should seek to hear about the Alma
Mater's progress from the President, members of the faculty, the student speakers' bureau and officers of
the Alumni Association.
Programs of local alumni clubs
especially in Kentucky are being arranged so others than the members
may hear the principal addresses.
This is one of the most helpful factors
in the "Greater Kentucky" campaign.
The calls for speakers made on tli
University in the last few weeks is
due largely to alumni efforts. Such
contacts with the citizens-at-larg- e
by
University officials help the institution to render a greater service to the
State and make possible a better understanding and a more ready sympathy on the part of the average cis
izen.

Dear Sir:
It has been brought to my attention that the University of Kentucky
is interested in possible means of enlarging or adapting her stadium for
the better accommodation of present
day requirements.
A member of my staff, who has
been working on this subject for the
past three years, has discovered and
perfected, for the construction of
a novel and efficient design based
upon the attempt to meet requirements of modern games.
Up to now, all amphitheatres and
stadia have been laid out in accordance with principles of the ancient
Greek and Roman structures designed
for combats and chariot races. Modern games are dissimilar to these ancient sports in many vital particulars,
and it can be imagined that the meeting of modern conditions would result in an interesting type of structure.
The experiments have produced a successful, practicable and aesthetic

United States in such a manner that
they may meet socially to form new
and further old friendships, to dis
cuss all phases of education,
art,
music, law, home economics, social
service, medicine, public health, journalism in fact all the branches of
knowledge which are classified in a
college catalog.
They
study their
home communities to see in what way
educated women may be of service in
adding culture and comfort to the
communities in which they live. They
offer scholarships to tempt talent and
genius, they administer loan funds to
ambitious but not wealthy young peo
pie, they offer fellowships for foreign
study that students may know students and colleges in other lands, and
they give teas and luncheons and din
ners and plays and musicales and lec
tures. It now has some 200 branches
located in every state except four in
the United States Besides the many
thousands of members these branches
represent it has hundreds of genera

Edna T. Crcmin, of Louisville, died
February 14, after a brief illness with
pneumonia.
During her years in the University
Miss Crcmin took an active part in
all its activities, was a member of the
Philosophian Literary Society, and
was one of the original founders of the
local sorority which afterward became the Epsilon Omega chapter of
Kappa Delta. She was also a charter member of the chapter.
In the Louisville Alumni Association, Miss Crcmin has been one of the
most interested and loyal members,
and it was rarely that she failed to attend any event sponsored by the University. For the last ten years she
has taught in the Louisville Girls'
High School. In connection with her
work there she has studied for several summers
at the University of
Chicago. Prof. H. B. Moore, principal of the High School, paid the
following tribute to Miss Cremtn:
"She was one of the most capable and
most popular teachers the school has
ever had."

"Attending the Southern Agricultural Workers Convention in Memphis
last week I was with a large and
handsome bunch from the Station in
Lexington. Among them were T. R.
Bryant, C. A. Mahan, Prof. E. S.
Good; Prof. J. J. Hooper; Prof. Geo.
Roberts, and Prof. L. J. Horlacher.
In addition to these I saw a fine bunch
of old Kentucky fellows who are in
allied lines; Hub Gale '14, came over
to look up the crowd; he is farming
on a large plantation about 30 miles
Memphis, address Big Creek
Plantation, Turrelt, Ark.
"Ran into Wm. C. Mitchell '16 on
the street in Memphis. He has left
the U. S. Farm Economics Department and as I understood, is managing a place not very far from Gayle's
location.
"Last but not least, who should be
working around Memphis, selling industrial service, but one of our former legal lights, H. C. (Monk) Morrison '14. Say boy, there are almost
as many U. K. men in Tennessee as in
Kentucky. Did you realize that Governor Pcay, newly installed at Nashville, is a native Kentuckian, although
I do not think a U. K. man? Another
decade and they will have to change
the name of this state. Send us some
more of the same." Morris L.
