FOR

FUTURE"

"Education depends on the intelligence one has in using what he
knows and what he doesn't know
when coming into an emergency, and
the aim of the University Is to develop intelligence In students," said A.
E. Winship, of Boston, editor of the
Journal of Education, speaking to tTie
student body in chapel last Thursday
morning on the subject, "The Aim of
University Education."
"Intelligence is the horse power of
your machine. It is the thing which
you have at your command when you
need it." The function of the University is to tell people where to go to
get information that is reliable. No
one who doesn't get the latest and
can be
most authentic information
a success in life.
The secret of success consists In
doing the right thing at the right time,
the speaker said. To know how to do
this one must have Intelligence. One
of the principal things that a college
teaches Is to know what to do at the
s
right time. One comes against
every day which he never en
countered before. The persons who
overcome them are the ones who have
Intelligence.
People
Progress spells success.
have just come to realize that what
one does yesterday is of no vahle; It
is what one expects to do tomorrow
that is important. The only reason
that people did not have the same
Inventions and comforts in 1817 that
we now have In 1917 Is that the learn-omen of that time spent their time
on their grandfathers instead of think
ing of some way to benefit their
grandchildren.
Chaldea, Egypt, and the rest of the
Ancient World occupied their time instead of studying some method to
combat disease. No one could qual
ify as a man of brains If he did anything for humanity; it was beneath
the dignity of a scholar. They were
looking (backward, not forward.
The speaker said that he was impressed with the fact that the men
who fire the cannon on battleships
are twenty feet oolow tho deck and
never see the target at which they
are aiming. They are directed in their
firing hy two men who are In the rigging and who, hy means of electrical
appliances, tell them where to put
tho cannon In vertical and in horizontal. Their work consists in getting the swell of the sea and directing
the firing of the cannon when the ship
gets on tho level.
The function of the faculty Is analogous to the duty of the men in the
rigging. They tell how to get the
swell of time. Every one must aim,

INSTRUCTOR

The War Department's acceptance
of the University's offer to establish
a reserve officers' training corps at
the University of Kentucky was received last week by President Henry
S. Barker from Adjutant-GenerThe following telegram was
received from the War Department:
"Bulletin issued establishes infantry
unit senior division officers' training
corps at your institution."
At present it is uncertain when the
military course will be instituted at
the University. When it was decided
by the authorities to establish the
course, it was thot it would go Into
effect In September, at the beginning
of the next school year, but Captain
John C. Fairfax, commandant at the
University, in an Interview said that
receipt of further Instructions from
Washington may result in its establishment sooner.

Tho command rang out as clearly as it ever

tion before the commandant. The time
was Monday night, the place, Buell
Armory, and the girls, as said before,
seventy-fivof the University's most
patriotic daughters, assembled for instruction in signalling and first-aiwork.
For discipline the commandant decided to devote the first lessons to
drilling, "just like the boys do." Those
who camo for a lark soon settled down
to real work as the commandant and
hls cadet officers nut them thru the
simple movements of "About face!
and "Halt, one, two!" Visions of
squad drill inflicted by the Dean on
Saturday afternoons flitted thru the
brains of the frivolous ones, but their
giggles changed to anxious looks at
the commandant, who refused to crack
a smile. For an hour and a half they
worked, and just as they were beginning to feel like real soldiers they
heard the magic sound, 'Fall out."

After the stellar Wildcat stickers
had trimmed Tennessee by the shutout route and minced Miami five to a
bedraggled one, Illinois came along
Monday afternoon and tendered the
wearers of the Blue and White their
first setback of the 1917 season by
winning from them by the score of
2 to 0.
The brace of tallies came in the InRemembering that caitial stanza.
tastrophic inning McClellan probably
went to his room and dreamed that he
was an interned German liner being
hacked to pieces by members of the
crew. The game started off propitiously when the lead-of- f
man succumbed to Mac's twisters, but Wild- cat stock took a downward swoop
with safeties by the next two on the
list, supplemented by a sacrifice fly to
center and a poor throw to the plato
by Waters.
It wasn't so much the hits made off
McClellan, who had been a regular
Verdun up to Monday's contest, that
counted, as the bases on balls given
and the poor support, at times, of the

Klein, the stocky Illinois
hurler, also had a little something to
do with the defeat of the Kentuckians.
Nemo, as he was called in entreaty
by his brethren, pitched ruthless ball.
He permitted three hits, struck out
eight men and gave but one free
ticket.
