COURTESY
(By Wilbur G. Frye, Edwards M.
Templin, Roy H. Owsley)

How sweet and gracious, even In common
speech;
Is that fine sense which men call Courtesy!
Wholesome as air and genial as light,
Welcome in every clime as breath of flowers,
It transmutes aliens into trusting friends,
And gives its owner passport round the
globe.
Thus wrote James T. Fields. He spoke of
courtesy in the practical interpretation of the
word and not in a poetic hallucination that his
words perchance would come true in the dim
ages when unpreparedness to do those things
one ought to prepare against would find the
timid few without an idea of that which he
wrote.
Thus spoke the soul of a man who knew from
experience just how rare a true sense of courtesy is to be found in those with whom we deal
daily, and of whom we expect the same attitude
as has been extended before in a certain set of
similar circumstances.
It can be seen that those poetic words may
mean something even today when the march of
higher civilization connotes in the no longer
savage breast some of the finer feelings that
were found lacking in the days when despotism
reigned supreme, and which, because it did reign
in that exalted position, felt that there should
be no end to the evil deeds dared to be done,
And again, Milton has written in that
vision blessed with true Insight into men
rather than material things:
Shepherd, I take thy word
And trust thy honest offer'd courtesy,
Which oft is sooner found in lowly sheds
With smoky rafters, than In tap'stry halls,
And courts of princes.
Thus again it can, be seen that courtesy is a
tone of character that one finds in the least
expected places, and falls to find hi those whom
one has been taught to honor and revere as
persons Incapable of emanating the faintest
stigma from within that aura of chaste beneficence.
In so far as possible, The Kernel long has
tried to be courteous, and if a retort were needed, to make the retort courteous. It long has
been inclined to drape foul places with kind
words as a sort of soothing balm for wounds
whose edges time has failed to heal with ointment courteously placed thereon.
This week The Kernel is publishing a special
edition for the sole puriose of being courteous.
The capable business manager of The Kernel,
in his laudable zeal to produce a bigger and
better paper, oversold advertisements to men
who were depending on his word that they
would be published and brought to the attention of the student body of the University. Last
week's paper could not carry all of these advertisements, so it became necessary at the last
moment to produce another paper from the
tired brains of the editors, who have labored
long and unceasingly in their elforts to promote
the interests of The Kernel. Disappointment
of the advertisers was not to be considered,
since they have given the paper enough space
this year, on the average, to show more than
seventy per cent of the total space available,
thus forcing the exclusion of University news
that should have been printed.
In all the years that The Kernel has been
Issued at the University of Kentucky, there has
never been an issue before the Christmas holidays which carried a date line later than December 14, because the departmental heads,

staff nnd editors realized that even ft journalist
is entitled to that rest that may be found even
In lowly shed with smoky rafters. It was
thought for n time that such honest oiTcr'd

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

December 20, the day that we have long looked forward to for so many long weeks. At noon
tomorrow wc will be released for two glamorous
weeks of vacation, but then we must return to
bondage January 3, and labor all the more diligently to make up for those two weeks of playtime.
Hear ye, all of you who nttend the University
and hearken unto what the Kernel says. Let
not the beauty and sparkle of the windows
down In town beguile you into cutting the last
hour before the vacation, for remember It has
of
the dire penalty of the loss of one-tenyour final standing. Also contemplate that the
first hour after the vacations has the same fine,
so don't allow any charmingly seductive voices
at home persuade you to anything that you
know that you shouldn't do.
The Kernel wishes to point out to all of you
the deeper side of Christmas. Some 2,000 years
ago a little baby was born In a manger, shepherds watching In the" fields saw and marveled
at the star of Bethlehem moving. They followed It nnd came unto the stable in which the
Christ Child was born. Travelers came from
afar bringing precious gifts to the babe In
swaddling clothes. Without this birth, Christmas would have never been.
Had It not have been for the works of this
great man, in what condition would wc all be
today? He brought light into the world with
His coming and left it here after He had to
leave His earthly home. We have our personal
rights and freedom given to us from a government which Is founded upon the Bible text.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND
A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

of a much needed vacation from the arduous
duties of the day. But let us look at the other
side of It for a moment!
There Is always a positive and a negative pole
to everything existing in the world, whether It
be temporal or incorporeal. So far, the positive side of it has been discussed. Let us think
