ing his Alma Mater, she had better,
ns she values his affection, persuade
him not to return at all, but to try to
remember her from afar Just as she
was when ho knew her first. Tho less
he should see, nay, tho less he should
hear of her, tho moro blissfully ignorant he would be of the fact that Bho
no longer really existed.
Now the seriousness of tho change
which provoked thiB letter lies in tho
fact that it was not absolutely necessary. To me personally it is trifling indeed. "Tho Idea" is a name
which came very late In tho formative
period of that group of mental associations of mine which clusters about
State College. (I say State College
and not Unversity because I find that
the college had won a permanent place
in th"e group before the University
arose to contest it.) Being so late
this name may bo easily plucked away
without very much disarranging the
rest. To me it would be a much greater wrench to learn that the Annual in
future would be called something other than "The Kentuckian." But even
this would not be insupportable, for
do I not remember when the annual
was called "Echoes?" In fact, I distinctly remember the noise the annual
nade at State the year before the
"Echoes." No, the things I should
really dislike to see ruthlessly and unnecessarily changed at State are the
things that were there and well established when first I saw the place.
They are what make State to me ari
object of veneration. The State Col
lege of the first years of the century,
with its persons, its buildings, its
places, its rules, its customs, its
names, is the "State" which has my
sincere affection. I may admire any
other institution in Lexington which
shall be proclaimed with the formula:
"State is dead; long live State!" But
that will be your State University,
not my State College.

It is only old students of a much
later day than mine who will feel a
sense of irreparable loss in the disappearance of such names as The
Idea. The plea I am making is that
they may not be robbed of a single
association.
For just to the extent
that they are robbed is the bond of
had known weakened.
.Many of the outstanding features of
the old student's picture of his college
or university inevitably change. In
a very short time the campus is peo
pled with undergraduates
who are
strangers.
After only a little longer
me as the years revolve ever more
rapidly the teachers drop away one
by one till all are gone. Other features of the picture not quite inevitably but almost necessarily change.
New buildings are needed and are
built; old ones are altered or demol
ished; and thus the place itself comes
to wear a changed appearance.
The
Education Building steps in front of
the Gym and obstructs its view of
what would be the lake if the lake
was any longer there. The old long
benches in Professor Neville's room,
their backs scribbled on and carved
by generations of Latin students are
replaced by neat individual desks.
The extent to which changes like
these, some inevitable, some nearly
so, go in destroying the reality of
tho picture which the old student caries about with him In his head is
appalling. And it is just for this
reason that everything capable of re
maining permanent should bo protect
ed from change, and kopt as it is, as

it was, in order that as much as possible may still remain ior the old student to continue to love.
If all who are now a part of the
University in any capacity could only
be brought to feel that the University
is not altogether theirs to do with as
they will; that every old student has
a vested interest in everything as it
is, sentimental merely though this interest be; and that this interest should
be respected, so far as respect for it
is consistent with the necessities of

the present and future generations of
students; and restrained by this feeling they would forbear to make any
change, even of a familiar name, unless such change should be imperative, a long step would be made toward the solution of the problem of
creating within the hearts of old students a profounder affection for State
l
University.
Very truly yours,
