The following resolution
passed:
"All cases of cheating shall be reported to the head of the department
in which cheating occurs, who shall

members of his department, determine the guilt or innocence of the
student charged. If the student is
adjudged guilty, he shall be dropped
from the class in which the cheating
occurs with a grade of E. This decision shall be final.
"This action is to be reported in

student's record: 'Dropped with grade
of E.'
"It shall be the duty of the registrar to notify the dean of men or of

student of the fact of the record, and
to inform the student of the penalty
in case he- is dropped from class as

"If a student is dropped from class
for cheating as a second offense, he
shall be suspended for one year. The

he is suspended."

Capt. John J. Bethurum; Capt. James
Taylor; First Lieutenant Marvin W.
Marsh; Warrant Officer George A.
Knight; Master Sergeant Guy
First Sergeant Fred Powell;
Staff Sergeant John J. Kennedy and
Sergeant Matthew J. Eberhardt. A
sketch of the officers' lives and
achievements follow:

He was graduated from the Army
School of the Line, Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, in 1912 and served on the
Mexican Border at Eagle Pass, Texas,
from 1914 to 1915.
During the World War Colonel

placed in command of the 101st, Infantry Regiment of that division. He
participated in the Toul offensive and
in the Aisne-Marn- e,
St. Mehile, and
Meuse-Argonoffensives.
He was
cited for gallantry in action during
the Meuse-Orgonoffensive as regimental commander.

After being graduated from the

ad-

vanced course at the Infantry School,
Fort Benning, Ga., in 1921, he served

BEGINNING OF THE BOND
MOVEMENT

The following article is taken from
the "Bond Issue Campaign Book,' by
Chester Gourlcy:
After the whisky excise tax was
held unconstitutional, the state road
department was left with only a
small amount of funds for construction, especially in view of the fact
that a number of old state aid contracts continued under construction
and money was necessary to meet the
state's portion of those obligations.
The result of this was that many
counties in the state voted road bonds
and donated the proceeds to the construction in the counties respectively
voting the bonds At the session of
1922 of the General Assembly, a bond
issue of 50,000,000 for construction
of the state primary system provided
by the act of 1920, was proposed and
advocated by the Kentucky Good
Roads Association. The bill met with
great opposition and failed of pas
sace.

The movement for the bond issue
was renewed by the Kentucky Good
Roads Association in the early months
of 1923 and that association continued the advocacy of a $50,000,000
bond issue for road purposes until a

movement was launched just after the
November election in 1923 to increase
the bond issue to $75,000,000 to pro
vide funds for the various educational
and other institutions of the state for
permanent improvements and also to
fund the state floating debt.
Mr. John M. Atherton, of Louisville,
a retired business man, who has been
much interested in philanthropy and
the advancement of education, in a
letter to Mr. Desha Breckenndge, pub
lished in the Lexington Herald, first
publicly advocated the bond issue in
its present form. There were many
other advocates of the bond issue as
now submitted to the people, including Judge A. P. Humphrey and Mr.
"E. S. Tachau, of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections, Mr. Lewis
C Humphrey, editor of the Louisville
Tost, Mr. Desha Breckenridge, editor
of the Lexington Herald, Mr. Robert
Gordon of Louisville, a former president of the State Bar Association, Dr.
Trank L. McVey, president of the university of Kentucky, and many others.
Up to the time of movement for the
25,000,000 started, the
additional
Kentucky Good Roads Association
had been advocating only the bond
issue of 50,000,000 for roads. A
meeting was arranged between officials of the Kentucky Good Roads
Association and those prominent in
the movement for the additional
the result of which was an
agreement to present the whole matter to the Governor elect, Hon. "Wm.
J. Fields, and to advocate either the
single bond issue for roads or the
bond issue with the additional
for state institutions, as the
Governor might decide to recommend

PRIMARY

MESSAGE

The Governor on Tuesday, January 8, 1924, appeared before the legislature and delivered his biennial message which was devoted almost entirely to the recommendation of the
submission of the 75,000,000 bond
in the present form, and in the
course of his message ho thus stated
the reasons that moved him to make
that recommendation:
"The constitution imposes upon the
governor the duty to make recommendations to the legislature on the affairs of the state. In obedience to
to
that mandate I appear before you, my

most earnest recommendations."

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
"The University of Kentucky is a
state, not a local institution. Its pur
pose is not to afford opportunities
to the children of wealth to acquire a
college education. It was created and
is maintained to put within the reach
of the sons and daughters of every
class the opportunity for the higher
and most useful training.
"The university has neither dormitories nor class rooms sufficient to
meet the demand upon it for the edu
cation of the youth of Kentucky. It
can accommodate less than 2,000 stu
dents and should accommodate fully
two and a half times that number,
Its deficiency forces many youth to
leave Kentucky to obtain a college
