(CHAPTER VI, CONTINUED)
"By individual letters addressed to
the Senators before the eighteenth of
November, I had anticipated most of
the vital points in the manifesto and
had done much to explain and concil
iate. I argued that while the denominational colleges had done a great
and indispensable work in laying the
foundation of the classical and liberal
education which the Commonwealth
required, the time had come for a
new departure in education, for the
endowment of which Congress, under
the act of July 2, 1862, had made
provision; that Kentucky's allotment
of land had been practically wasted;
that it devolved upon the state, having accepted the trust, to make good
the deficiency caused by mismanage
ment, and that the Agricultural and
Mechanical College had neither the
disposition nor the intention to interfere with the work of the existing
colleges; that the new institution, to
the maintenance of which the state
was committed, should make provision not only for the classical education which congress contemplated, but
for those scientific subjects which lie
at the foundation of modern agriculture and industrial development, and
that provision for the endowment of
research followed as necessary consequence; museums, laboratories and
mechanical appliances unknown to the
collegiate work of the existing col
leges were indispensable, and that
whereas the former had thought in
hundreds of dollars, the latter must
now think in thousands and tens of
thousands. Endowment by private
benefaction might suffice for the col
leges of olden time, but endowment
by the state was an absolute neces
sity for the college and university of
the modern type. When the legislature" assembled, the outlook
was
gloomy in the extreme. Blanton,
Dudley, Beatty, Miller and Wagner,
were there representing their re
spective colleges. Dozens of letters
for the members came in by every
mail, protesting against the 'iniquity
and the continuance of the tax. To
add to our embarrassment we had
been misled by our architects. The
buildings were only half completed
and the money was all expended. It
became apparent that unless we could

LARGE NUMBER EXPECTED

Cincinnati Alumni Club to En
tertain Junior Engineers at
Banquet on Tuesday,
April 26
C.

When the Junior Engineers of the
University of Kentucky visit Cincin
nati on April 26 they will be the
guests of the Cincinnati club of the
Alumni Association at a banquet,
The program for the banquet will be
broadcast oyer radio station W.K.R.C.,
from the Hotel Alms where the ban
quet will be held. President Charles
L. Straus of the Cincinnati club is
planning a program that will be inter
esting not only to those attending the
banquet but one that will be of inter
est to every graduate and former student of the University of Kentucky,
He is including in the list of speakers for the banquet graduates and for
mer students who have made a place
for themselvese in the business life of
Cincinnati and the surrounding towns,
This program he has not announced as
yet since it has not been completed
He is particularly anxious that as
many former Kentucky men and wo
men tune in on the program and if
possible let him know how they like
it by telegram or telephone message,
The Junior Engineers will be in Cin
cinnati on that day as a part of the
annual inspection trip made by the
members of the junior class of the
College of Engineering of the Univer
sity of Kentucky.
It is an annual
custom for the Cincinnati club to entertain the student engineers during
their stay in Cincinnati.
President Straus says that the at
tendance this year will be larger than
ever before and that program will be
the most interesting.

A committee made up of members
of the Lexington Alumni Club has
been named by President James
Park to make the arrangements for
the annual meeting of Alumni which
will be held this year on May 28.
Plans are underway now for making
this annual gathering the best possible. An interesting program is in
the process of formation and will be
announced in some near issue of The
Kentucky Kernel.
h
On the night of the
of May the seniors will hold their annual ball and to this event all Alumni
are invited. The next "day also is
class day and the exercises will be
held in the morning. The annual
meeting of the Alumni probably will
follow this and it is possible that
lunch will be served to all the visiting
Alumni and the members of the
Senior class somewhere on the cam- pus. Saturday night some form of
entertainment will be provided for
visitors.
Sunday the Baccalaureate address
will be delivered to the members of
the graduating class. This assembly
will be held in the new basketball
building.
The sixtieth annual commence
ment of the University of Kentucky
will be held on Monday, May 30. The
graduating class this year will be the
largest in the history of the

buildings, we must suspend operations. Moreover, if our embarrassments should become known, the General Assembly would naturally hesitate to provide money for an insti-- .
tution which did not know how to
spend judiciously. The banks refused
to land except on personal security
inasmuch as the college having only
a contingent interest in the property
given by the city had nothing to
mortgage. In this emergency, I hypothecated with the Northern Bank
my own collaterals, borrowed the
money and placed it in the hands of
the executive committee to carry on
the work on the buildings and took
the notes of the University for repayment, well knowing that if the
half-cetax was repealed, I should
lose all. Indeed, the Senator from
Fayette, said to me, "You have done
a very foolish thing. The Legislature is likely to repeal the tax and
in that event, you will lose all."
Dr. Ormond Beatty, president of
Centre College, presented before a
crowded audience of senators and representatives, the argument for the
repeal of the tax. He characterized
it as unwise, unjust, excessive, oppressive. When his argument was
completed, the belief was strong that
the tax was doomed. It fell to me to
make the argument for the college,
which I did a few days later. When
the audience adjourned sentiment had
visibly changed and the tide had evidently begun to run in favor of the
tax. The assailants then discovered
that the tax was unconstitutional,
and without further delay made a direct onslaught upon it, first before
the General Assembly, and later before the courts. The ablest legal
talent in Kentucky,
Justice
Lindsay, Alex P. Humphrey, Colonel
Bennett H. Young and James Trabue,
were employed. After the conclusion
of Judge Lindsay's argument, the
case of the college seemed hopeless.
John G. Carlisle had been asked by
the chairman of the Executive Committee, to defend the constitutionality
of the tax. He examined Article XI
of the old constitution and promptly
declined saying, "you have no case."
In this emergency, an opportune suggestion from James P. Metcalf, a
former reporter of the Court of Appeals, viz: that I should look into the
debates which preceded the adoption
of the constitution in 1849, induced
me to try what a layman might do.
I ventured to prepare and to deliver before a full house a reply and

George Colvin, of the University of
Louisville and Superintendent George
Howard, of North Carolina, have been
forced to decline the invitation to
speak after the banquet.
In their stead Professor E. F. Far
quhar of the department of English
of the University of Kentucky, and
Head Coach Harry Gammage will
talk. Both, speakers will have a mes
sage that will be of interest to all the
Alumni who attend the banquet. Pro
fessor Farquhar is widely known as
an interesting and instructive lecturer. Coach Gamage will have a mes
sage that touches on an interest dear
to every graduate and former student
of the University of Kentucky.
