THE ICE WATER BARREL

'

(The Lexington Leader November 29)
There was a good deal of agitation in some Quarters when it hoenmo
e
football game a beer keg would
. known that at the
be dedicated and used as a trophy. The feeling was quite general that
this was an unfortunate choice, and quietly protests were made and
those who had charge of the matter saw the reasonableness of
" the objection raised
and named the trophy the "ice water barrel."
It was obvious that no offense was intended in the beginning. Certain
angles of the matter were overlooked, and as soon as complaints were made
action was taken by the University authorities and the alumni to meet
them.
'
This is a happy solution.
There were very good reasons why a beer
keg a relic and typical of the saloon system in America, now forever banished was not a suitable trophy and symbol. There has been too much of
a disposition to treat prohibition lightly and to make jokes about it. It is
a tremendous social experiment, fraught with consequences, in its success or
ana proiouna, ana has been written in
luiiure, wmcn win ue
delibly upon the Constitution of the United States. '
It might appear at first thought that objections raised to the use of the
keg were trivial and suggestive of a narrow and prejeduiced view, due to
the lack of a sense of humor. But this was not the case. The point of view
of those who protested this prevailed because their arguments were seen to be
rational. Both Tennessee and Kentucky had reached the point of State prohibition when the Eighteenth Amendment was ratified, together with thirty- , lour otner ommonweaitns, ana tne people in both are still firmly resolved
to see the policy prevail.
Everything is quiet along the Potomac, and the University management
and the alumni are to be congratulated on their prompt action and broad
'treatment of the situation. May the "ice water barrel" stay here, and never
run ary.

CELEBRATION

(The Lexington Leader November 29)
celebration this year was an unclouded success in
Even the weather was kinder than in many other places, and
the football fans looked on a muddy field, but were spared a drenching. The
great day passed off without an untoward incident. Everybody was happy.
Arrangements made to receive visitors and to entertain tho football squad
from Knoxvilie were excellent. Hospitality never seemed more spontaneous
or cordial without being effusive. Those who spent the day here went
away with nothing but pleasant memories of the occasion except for the
fnilure-othe University of Tennessee team to win the battle in the arena.
The game was a thrilling one, played with true sportsmanship, with
great skill and with equnl determination on both sides. The best men won, but
the victory left no sting and the contest was so rapid, so close and so tenBe
that honors were almost equally divided in the feeling of the great crowd that
looKeu on and roared liKe the sea In the storm.
All who had anything to do with the arrangements and the execution
of the program are to be congratulated. It took no little forethought and
nam worK to mane matters worK so smoothly, and to insure Huccess. Next
year, if possible, should be marked by an even more colorfur and universal
celebration of the day as an institution to be perpetuated for all time to come.
Those who go to Knoxvilie when the great battle is fought there between the two universities will find that city in a mood to reciprocate, and
to excell in hospitality. Such friendly rivalry in the exercise of a grace
Ntnat lor so many generations gave distinction to the South, and which has
not been so much regarded in recent years, is good for the soul. Lexington
will not be behind in showing tho gracious spirit of urbanity, courtesv. and
fraternity and a disposition to compete in good manners and good fellowship.

Knowing the danger of alumni
doing, with the best of intentions, Fanny Weir (Mrs. Houston Wilson), '06
more harm than good to the athletics
of their college by offering suggesi

supervision of them, we approach a Florence Wilkie, '06
second topic with a certain degree of
hesitancy. Many alumni here say
'

the athletic teams of the university
regardless of the merit of those members. If suchj reports are true, we
realize the difficulty that the situation
which they describe nuts in tho way
of your developing the best possible
varsity teams; and we want to let you
know that our full sympathy is with
your object rather than with theirs.
An alumnus is more interested in see
ing a good varsity team than in seeing
on the team a large number of mem
bers of the social lodge to which he
happened to belong while he was an
undergraduate.
But we realize also that undergrad
uates may see the thing from a differ
ent standpoint. This is the reason
why the reports wo hear sound so
probable. It seems quite natural for
members ot a social organization to
desire honors of all kinds to come to
its membership. Athletic honors can
now come only by representation on
tho vnrsity teams. Hence we can un
derstand how an undergraduate or
ganization might take more satisfac
tion from seeing itself liberally rcpre
sented on a fair varsity team than
from seeing a better varsity team on
which it was not so liberally reprc
