KERNEL'S NEW PRESS

This marks the first issue of The Kernel's fifteenth year of publication
which, owing to the many improvements installed in its plant during tlic summer months, should be the greatest and most successful in its history. Our new
press, linotype machine, type of all sorts, filing cabinets, imposing stones and
all other accessories necessary to compose a complete printing plant, have been
bought at a cost of about $7,500. All of these Improvements go to show the
forward movement which the paper has taken in the last three years.
Although The Kernel is the weekly newspaper of the University, published
entirely by the students of that institution, it may also be termed as Lexington's only weekly and is the best medium for residents of this city to keep in
touch with what is going on at the University.
A small sum is taken out of the registration fee of every student as lie
enters the institution and this amount pays for his year's subscription to The
Kernel. Every Friday he simply has to cull at the place of distribution of the
papers and receive Ids copy.

student, like all others, receives his copy of The Kentucky Kernel each week
and takes it home with him. In this way the paper gets into a great many
homes in the city and is read with almost as much interest as the Lexington
dallies. Some of these residents, even after their children hnve finished their
courses at the University and received their degree in their respective college,
still subscribe for the puper for the simple reason thnt they have become interested in the institution during the time which their children attended it ud wish
to keep in touch with the movements of the University.
Another fact showing the great Interest manifested by the citizens of Lexington in this paper is the amount of advertising which the merchant, of tin-citInsert In each issue of The Kernel. An average of from seventy to eighty
per cent of the space in cuch publication is tuken up with advertising, most of

The management of The Kentucky Kernel wishes to thank the people of

will have uo trouble in publishing the best college weekly in the South.

that even the citliens of Lexington are joining wholeheartedly in promotion
of this progressive spirit. For example:
The foot ball squad, larger than ever before, reported as early as September 7 and are in drastic prnctice for the great struggle that confronts them
with grim interest to bring back new laurels wrested from powerful opponents.
adThe band, under Sergennt Kennedy, reported for practice 10 dnys in
vance of the opening of school, surrendering their jobs nnd accepting with fine
spirit, the grave impost in expense which such sacrifice involves.

program Is in evidence.
This is a new experience for the university nnd we believe opens the door
to new life nnd greater opportunities.
The Kernel congratulates these active spirits upon their progressive purpose
and predicts a banner year for old Kentucky.

experience of a third of a' century.
