the mention of "Home Coming" conjures up such a vivid picture
that it is unnecessary to say more to
the far away alumni who are planning
to return to the campus November 29.
The cornerstone of the new basketball building will be laid in the morning at 10:30 o'clock. In appearance
and in structure this will be the finest building on the campus. The thousands of former students and graduates whose contributions of money

The Wildcats and the Volunteers
from Tennessee will afford two hours
of lively entertainment on Stoll Field
beginning at 2 o'clock. Several hundred reservations for the game have
been made by alumni and friends of
the University through Professor S.

game were sold out two weeks
before the contest, which will warn
the home coming crowd not to delay.
A dinner dance at the Phoenix

YOUR UNIVERSITY
To create a feeling in the heart of
the average Kcntuckian that this is
his University is of inestimable value.
It will arouse a sense of responsibility
more effectively than tons of publicity
and scores of public addresses and allegiance sworn by public office holders when it comes to winning the

popular support and getting the financial aid needed for the proper expansion! of "Kentucky's Own."
Alumni and friends can help bring
this about not by speaking of "the
University" or "our Alma Mater" but
by saying to every listener "Your University." Make him understand this
proprietorship.
The Kentuckian has
too much pride to allow anything
that is thoroughly his to suffer,
Occasional murmurings of discontent are heard as regards our athletic
prowess. Smug satisfaction docs not
beget progress but there are times
when patience is the greatest virtue.
This is one of the greatest lessons we
have to learn from the ancients.
The greatest football expert in the
country was engaged a few months
ago to take charge of football at the
largest University in the land. In
came a game with an old
rival. It appeared this was the best
chance for victory that had been
theirs in a decade. But history repeated itself in the form of defeat
greater than all the scores combined
that have been made against the
Wildcats .this year.

For the second time ira its history
the University sees a son about to
step into the chair of the Chief Executive of the sovereign state of Kentucky. He is William J. Fields, of
Olive Hill. Many feared a close election last week but Fields' majority was
greater even than Morrow's 40,000
four years ago.
The only other former Wildcat who
presided at Frankfort was Augustus
Owsley Stanley. Under his administration the State tax for the University
was increased more than ififty percent.
It was in 1918 that the University first
began to ireceivc appropriations that
were sufficient to allow it to cast aside
swaddling clothes.
What a mighty
young giant has developed since then.
Governor Fields will have the aid in
the Senate of Arch L. Hamilton, Lex
ington, who was one of the leaders in
the House when the .first big progres
sive step was taken. The Rcpeublican
leader of the Senate will be Hiram M.
Brock, of Harlan, who was a student
in the days of "The Old State College."
In the House the Kentucky alumni
will be led by Harry B. Miller, of
Lexington, who earned his laurels in
the 1922 session; by Joe F. Bosworth,
the veteran statesman from Middles-borand whip of the minority; J.
W. McFarlin, of Franklin, who lias
had a long recotd of public service;
Jack Howard, of White lOak, a newcomer, and A. B. Cammack, of Owen-towho was a leader of the under
graduates during the last session.
This winter's session of the Legis
lature should give friends of the University their best opportunity to put
through some significant legislation in
its behalf.
