When the game starts Saturday the
press box will have a top over it.
Heretofore sport reporters have been
forced to face the elements while

they recorded the games; but, through
the solicitation of tho SuKy Circle,
they will have the protection they deserve this season.
The Louisville Courier Journal and
Times, Lexington Herald, Lexington
Leader, and the Kernel donated funds
for the new top to supplement the
SuKy Circle's money. S. A. ((Daddy)
Boles, university athletic director,
says that the work is being done by
the Southern Tent and Awning Company and wants to assure reporters
that "they have gone unprotected for
the last time in the Stoll Field stadium."

busy during the entire summer, cleaning and rennovating the cacmpus and
buildings for the opening of the fall

made and all to the advantage of the
student and serve to make Kentucky
a better university.
With the campus and buildings of
this university in such excellent condition as they are at the present, every
student should consider it his duty to
assist in keeping it so and making it

At the close of school, work immediately started and we now posses one
of the most beautiful universities in
the country. The main entrance to
the university has been widened from
the small width of 12 feet to 26. The
large stone piers, which mark each

On each side of the main driveways

G. C. Knight'
Edits New Book

Instructor in English at U. of K.
To Publish "Readings From
The American Mercury"

Another book to bear upon its title
page the name of a professor in the
University of Kentucky will soon appear in Readings from the American
Mercury, edited by Grant C. Knight.
The volume, published by Knopf, is
to be a collection of representative
essays culled from the files of the
American Mercury and meant to
serve as collateral material for
courses in advanced composition and
essay writing.
The choosing of Professor Knight
for this work indicates that our English department, recognized as among
the best in the South, has attracted
the attention of H. L. Mencken who,
as everyone knows, is not overly
friendly to pedagogues.
This will be Professor Knight's
second book to appear in 1925; the
first, Superlatives, also published by
Knopf, has been widely read, and re
viewed in the Book Reviews of the
New York Times, The New York Sun,
The Saturday Review The Chicago
Tribune, The Boston Transcript, The
Christian Science Monitor, and other
papers of critical authority.

The University of Kentucky was
granted a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa,
the national fraternity on scholarship,
at the triennial meeting of the na
tional organization held in New York
on September 8. A local association
has been in existence at the univerf
sity for the past three years, and
this association petitioned the nai
tional senate, known as the United
Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa.
This is the first chapter to be.
granted in Kentucky, although there
are five other chapters in the south,
including Texas, Vanderbilt, Virginia
and Alabama.

Sergeant Kennedy is quite gratified at
