GROWTH

CHAPTER VIII (Continued)
The next step, however, and perhaps the most important of all in the
growth of experiment station work,
was the passage of the Hatch Act
by Congress in 1887. Representative

Hatch, of Missouri, a Kentuckian by
birth, a native of Scott county, had
been representative from Missouri for
many years. He was a man of more
than ordinary intelligence; a man
keen to discern the possibilities of agricultural instruction; a man eager
to signalize his work in Congress by
some great measure which would inure to the benefit of his countrymen
He
and perpetuate his own name.
introduced a bill in the Congress of
1887, which provided for an annuity,
or annual appropriation by Congress,
of $15,000 for the maintenance and
extension of agricultural experiment
al work. Fortune placed in my hands
at a favorable time, the opportunity

within ten days of adjournment. The
bill had passed the Senate and had
been approved by the committee on
agriculture in the House and had
been placed upon the calendar, but it
was extremely doubtful whether it
would be reached before adjournment.
I had been frequently in Washington
in conference with President Ather-toof Pennslyvania, and Major
of Washington, who had been
assisting Representative Hatch
working up sentiment in Congress in
favor of the bill and I happened to
know very well John G., Carlisle, at
that time Speaker of the House.
Within a week before the adjournment of Congress, I received a telegram from these gentlemen requesting my immediate presence in Washington. I went on, having not the
slightest idea of what they wanted
with me or wanted me to do. On
arrival, they made known the situation, asked me if I had any acquaintance with Speaker Carlisle, and said
that it was indispensible that they
should get the consent of the Speaker
to recognize Representative Hatch at
an early date when the House assembled, otherwise the measure would
be lost; that they believed that 'an
overwhelming majority in the House
would vote for the measure if once
it could be brough before them. I
undertook to call upon Speaker Carlisle and in a personal interview laid
before him the situation and requested his good offices in allowing the
measure to come before the House the
next morning. He immediately assured me that as soon as the House
assembled and the service of the
chaplain was over, he would recognize
Representative Hatch.
Next morning, the House asembled at the usual

With the close of the Alumni As
sociation's fiscal year it always has
been the custom for the secretary
and treasurer to make up a report to
read before the annual meeting. This
year we are going a step further and
publish in The Kernel a short report
for those who have been active mem
bers this year but who will be unable
to attend the meeting May 28.
The year as a whole has" been fair
ly successful. There has been a smalt
increase in membership and in inter
est. However the membership is far
too small and it was necessary this
year to obtain from the university a
certain amount of financial assistance,
The main purpose of the Alumni As
sociation is to aid the university. It
is for us to build up our association
until it is large. enough to carry on
its own work independent, of financial
assistance from the university. Then
we will be in position to give to the
university our assistance.
During the year that has just passed we have wiped out some debts that
had accomplished. We have purchased
some valuable equipment that enables
us to take care of the duties of this
office more efficiently and with greater ease. We have begun several move
ments which we hope in time will
prove of great service to the association and the university.
The following brief financial report
shows how the finances of the associa
tion have been handled. It is from
necessity briefer than that which will
be read at the annual meeting since
there is not sufficient space to itemize the expenditures and receipts.

The placement service of the University of Kentucky announces the
following placements of university
graduates for next year:
C. B. Petree, of Paris, Ky., a student in the College of Education at
the university will be principal of the
graded school at Cattlettsburg, Ky.,
for the year 1927-2L. J. Wells, of Yosemite, Ky., a
graduate in the College of Education
will be the assistant principal and
coach at Langley, Ky.
O. L. McElroy, a student in the College of Education, will teach English
and history, arid coach athletics at
Burnside, Ky., next year.
Orion Wt McMurtry, of Buena Vis
ta, Ky., a graduate from the College
of Arts and Sciences will teach science
and coach at Stanford, Ky.
Sallie C. Eubank, of the graduate
school will be placed as a teacher of
