KENTUCKY'S

R. O. T. O.

In the placing of the name of Kentucky first on the new Georgia
Stadium the R O. T. C. of the University of Kentucky has brought honor
Every
to Kentucky, to the Univorsity and to tho Military department.
Kdntnckylnn who seos this, npd they will bo many, will experience a thought
of nrido at "Kentucky" First. Our It. O. T. C. was the first unit in tho
'United Stntcs to report on its quota, and Unit, the alumni of "Kentucky'
congratulate you.
OUR FORMER SECRETARY
The last Issue of tho Kernel nnnounccs the appointment of Hcrbcr
as editor of the Souch Shore Press nnd the Dnldwln Record, su
burban publication of New York City. Tho South Shore Press was purchased
by Colonel Lloyd C. Grlscom, former diplomatic representative to Englnnd
who proposes to make this the dominant newspaper of Long Island.
Probably In no other nlumnus of tho University of Kentucky do tho
ntnmiit ccnnrnllv feel moro interest than in Herbert Graham. As their
secretary ho united them permanently In tho Alumni
first nnd only full-tim- e
Association of the University of Kentucky. He organized more than thirty
alumni clubs, and it was largely becnuse these organizations, that tho cam
pnlgn, In which he had so prominent n part, for the Grcnter Kentucky fund
was successful. During his administration tho membership grew from lass
than n hundred to approximately 1.200 and the plan of sending a combined
student nnd alumni publication wns decided upon and the number nnd
satisfaction of alumni members has proved tho wisdom of this arrangement
A system of records wns built up from almost nothing to a most complete
and comprehensive point.
Therefore, with our congratulations go nlso our hope and confidence
of success.

NEW LAND ACQUIRED
"New land has been acquired now and then as opportunity offered.
Lots on Winslow street have been purchased and 131 acres added to the
Experiment Station farm. Professor Miller's gift of 2,000 square feet opposite the campus on South Limestone is a valuable addition to the univer
sity's property. Two
stations have been authorized by
legislature. One of these, the gift of E. O. Robinson, gives great scope for
tho university, not only in crops of all kinds, but particularly in foresty on
the 15,000 tract. The other station at Princeton Is well started on a
farm of 400 acres, the gift of the citizens in and around Princeton, Ky.
"The acquirement of gifts might bo put down as follows:
Robinson tract, 15,000 acres
,
,..$150,000
Princeton tract, 400 acres
20,000
Memorial fund

Total of gifts
.1347,000
"The Greater Kentucky fund Is not complete and it has been necessary
to advance funds to finish tho gymnasium and the stadium to the amount of
$122,500.
These sums will undoubtedly be paid. It Is ohned tffat the
Memorial building may be erected In the next year or two from the pro
ceeds of the Memorial fund.
"It should be noted that while tho income of the university for general
purposes has Increased 82 per cent, the number of students has increased
193 per cent. Tho use of general funds for construction can no longer be
continued in view of the needs of instruction, yot building space Is more in
demand than ever."
