institution.
In addition to the above, Chicago alumni receive a monthly bulletin,
giving items of interest about the institution, the student body and the
nlumni.
It tells of progressive steps which the University is taking and
resembles the monthly bulletin usually sent out by large universities to
their nlumni.
The student body and the Alumni Association of the University of
Kentucky publish weekly for its students and active alumni a combined
news letter and nlumni bulletin of eight 20x12 pnges. This paper presents
the nrocross and needs of the University, the undertakings and the social
life of the student body, and the achievements and advancements of the
nlumni.
A directory is also sent

to all nlumni who have paid dues
to the Association for either of those years.
For the small sum of $2 a number of the Kernel will be sent to you
each week for a year. Each week you will get a news letter from the University, one from the student body of the University nnd one from the
nlumni. Can you afford to miss this ? It is only one phase of being a member of the Alumni Association of the University of Kentucky, which the
