In the heart of the University which
and served so well,
Patterson,
James Kennedy
"The
Grand Old Man," died August 15. He
died and yet he lives "in the heart of
hearts" of the University, in the memory of the sons and daughters of the
institution who have gone to every
corner of the universe to strive and
to achieve in justification and in perpetuation of the ideals with which
they were imbued here.
When the soul of the President
Emeritus started on its way to the
Great Beyond there was a rustling in
the trees as there assembled the spirits of alumni returning to a hallowed
spot, portending the arrival of their
successors a vast throng from all ends
of Kentucky and sister states impell
ed by a longing for enlightenment,
all indicating how well he builded.
The story of his life from early manhood to the last is the story of the
University and public education in
Kentucky.
He was brave when a
less courageous leader might have lost
the battle. His eloquence won' the
following of the rugged leaders of
Kentucky when logic might have passed unheeded. From those who stood
opposed as well as those who fought
by his side comes acknowledgement
that his aims were achieved in the accomplishment of today, a University
of Kentucky which rightly is the love
of a proud Commonwealth.
In the
hands of his worthy successor, upheld
by loyal sons and daughters, the Alma
Mater will become a mightier agency
in the building up of the Southland.
In the forty-on- e
years of his presidency, James Kennedy Patterson saw
the institution grow from the Alma
Mater of a graduating class of one to
the inspiration of a class of 90 and
ere his watching eye had dimmed a
graduating class that numbered 220.
These numbers are but material indices of the "Kentucky spirit," the
proud possession of 20,000 former students dedicated to the service of Alma
Mater.
Doctor Patterson's estate was left
in trust for the University to found a
college for the preparation of young
men for diplomatic and consular serhe had loved

An aid in sending many worthy
students through the University of
Kentucky has been the Student Loan
Fund of the University.
At present there is about $8,000 in
the fund, of which $1,000 is available.
During the school year just passed
loans were made to ninety-thre- e
stu
dents. The maximum loan is $400,
not more than $200 of which may be
loaned in any one year.
To procure a loan a student should
fill out a blank which may be obtained
at the office of the chairman of the
William S.
Loan Fund, Professor
Webb, of the Physics Department.
This application is passed on by the
Committee on the Student Loan Fund
of the University Senate; the applicant must also appear in person before this committee.
As the funds are limited in consideration of the number of applicants, only
worthy students are given assistance
and the preference is usually given
juniors and seniors.
Five thousand dollars was added to
the loan fund last year. The class
of 1922 gave $350 to the fund as a
memorial to Jessie Dodd, a member
of the class whose death occurred last
spring. Mrs. W. T. Lafferty gave a
series of lectures on Kentucky history
in Lexington and other cities last
year and donated the proceeds to the
fund; her fund aggregated $1,000.
It is hoped that the fund may be
increased by $10,000 this year. A!
ready five applications for assistance
have been received by the board.

Literary executors were named who
are now at work on memoirs and a
biography to be published and distributed among schools and colleges of
Kentucky and among alumni.
Walter K. Patterson, brother and
companion, survives him.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, March
26, 1833, the son of Andrew Kennedy
Patterson, the President Emeritus
was proud of his Scotch blood as of
his American citizenship. An injury
at the age of four prevented the great
scholar from obtaining education early in life in Scotland, but when he
came to America and went to live in
the wilderness of Indiana he attended
the school at Madison and leaving
there at the age of 17 he taught his
first school.
The following year, 1851, he enCollege and led his

class throughout the entire course.
He was graduated from that institution in 1856 with the degree of bachelor of arts, receiving his master's !e- -
