Lexington Alumni Club Luncheon
The Lexington alumni hold their
regular monthly meeting at the Phoo-niHotel, 12:30, April 8. W. C. Wilson, president of the club was In the
chair and made a plea for a stronger
support of their Alma Mater by the
alumni, urging them to begin work
now to have elected to the 1924 legislature men in sympathy with Kentucky's
need for educational advancement and
a state university comparable to those
of other states. Two years Is not long
enough to accomplish much toward's
the University's good, he said, but by
the constant united effort of the alumni
the result will be felt. In four or six
years.
The relation of the model high
school to the University of Kentucky
and its use as a laboratory for students in the Department of Education,
was explained by Harold P. Fling,
principal of the school. It is yet in
its infancy and sadly crippled on account of lack of funds but is doing
good work. It holds membership In
the Association of High Schools and
Colleges of the South, to which only
about 500 high schools are eligible.
The University saxaphone quartette
furnished the music for the occasion.

with a banquet at the Southern Club,
April 9, at S p. m. Mr. J. M. Sprague
'07, president of the club, presided and
gave the boys a royal welcome. An old
fashioned southern dinner was served
and a round-tabltalk followed. Short
talks were made by Mr. Sprague, E. J.
Kohn '12, A. B. Haswell '11 and others
of the twelve alumni present.
The
Birmingham alumni want the southern
trip made a regular feature of the
junior inspection trip and they certainly showed their
and interest in entertaining the boys. They
took them in charge on arrival in
Birmingham, had a special train to
visit the different industries and Mr.
13. J. Kohn, Secretary
of the Club,
spent the entire day with them.
The Club is anxious that the Wildcats play their return football game
with Alabama at Birmingham In stead
o Tuskaloosa next fall, and an effort
is being made to carry out this suggestion. The juniors were so delighted
with their treatment and the industrial
plants visited that they, too, are working to have the Birmingham trip become a permanent part of the junior
engineering inspection trip.

A. Alumni Deligates.
The Louisville Alumni Club gave a
banquet to Alumni deligates attending

kind In the history of the Louisville
club.
Elwood Hamilton, principal speaker
of the evening, said in his talk "I see
500,000 hands raised to us here tonight They are the hands of the
children of Kentucky. They want an
education and the state owes It to

them. They want a great University
and the men and women of Kentucky
should forgot self and give It to thorn."
Tho friends of the University, according to Mr. Hamilton, do not realize

him as a
a leader who would lead ever on to
higher and better things for tho University of Kentucky. He made an appeal to alumni to stand by the President and uphold his hands In supporting the one ideal to be followed during
the next two years, the uplifting of
tho University.
Professor Enoch Greham, the only
impromptu speaker of the evening, in
keeping with his usual ready way of
speaking gave a speech of well mixed
wit and common hard sense. He said,
as he saw it, we were suffering from
an overdose of veto.
J. T. Pride, Jr., president of the
Louisville club, yielded the chair of
presiding officer to J. Mott McDaniel,
Beattyville, who declared "despite the
governor's veto of the $290,000 appropriation the University can and must
