The Jubilee Committee, of which
Dean F. Paul Anderson is chairman,
has been busy since early in the summer, making plans for the entertainment of the great throng which will be

Sophomore classes, the alumni smoker

dedication of Stoll Field and the
football game in the
afternoon, are on the Jubilee program,

The Lexington Alumni Club has
made arrangements to care for the
visitors to the University for the celebration, and they will be taken care
of in a style befitting the traditions of
the University and of Kentucky hospi

Phoenix Hotel, where the Alumni
Club will have a special desk, this
morning at 10 o'clock. Badges, pro

slightly, but the latter insist that experience and the prestige of last
year's victory will more than make up
the deficiency. Many of the old students have never seen a tug, and to
them, as to nearly everybody else, the
affair will be more enjoyable than any
circus. Captain Fairfax, commandant
of the battalion, will fire the pistol
that will consign the hopes of one of
the valiant classes to a watery grave.
Alumni, former students, faculty
and friends of the University will attend the alumni smoker at the Phoenix Hotel this evening, probably as

PRAISES THE JUBILEE COLLEGE

SMOKER AND BANQUET TODAY

Fifty years of the life of the Unl'
versity of Kentucky, fifty years of
service and exalted sacrifice, fifty
years of struggle and of triumph will
be celebrated tomorrow with a Golden
Jubilee that will far surpass any like
event ever held' in the South. Grad
uates and old students to the number
of 10,000 will return to honor their
Alma Mater and for them the gates
to all the joys of the University will
"be thrown wide.

many as 400. Large delegations will
attend
from Cincinnati, Louisville,
Pittsburg, Chicago and New York.
Railroad presidents, men of letters,
college presidents, engineers, jurists,
former football stars, army officers
good fellows will make
and
up the distinguished throng that will
attend this great
dinner.
The dance at the Armory this evening will be given for the benefit of
The Kentuckian, the University annual, and an admission of fifty cents
will be charged. The "K" dane is always one of the best of the student
dances, and coming at this time a very
brilliant crowd is expected. The old
boys will have a chance to shake a
s
foot with the fairest bunch of
in the world, and no doubt all of them
will take the opportunity.

The scenic feature of the Jubilee
will be the parade Saturday morning
at 9 o'clock. The committee has offered a prize of $100 for the class
making the best showing, and each
one of the four has made plans that
appear unbea'table. From the Freshmen in their "caps and gowns" to the
undignified Seniors in their wild variety of garb, the parade will be a regular scream.
The Sophomores will stage a "Kentucky" circus parade in an effort to
win the prize. The wildcat for whom
ours was named Is to be featured.
Kentucky colonels will be in evidence.
Kentucky suffragettes will advertise

over Vanderbilt will be shown by the
contrast between the largest man and
the smallest man in the Sophomore
class.
The Juniors will represent the important events in the life of the University during the past fifty years.
The class has been divided into five
sections, each of which will have
charge of the happenings for a
period.
The Seniors will represent themselves as diplomas, each member being entirely encased in a sheet of cardboard eight feet high. Those in
charge promise novel effects.

The Freshmen will typify childhood
in the parade. The girls will dress as
and wear their hair in
braids down their backs. The boys
will dress in short trousers and carry
school books.
On returning to Patterson Hall
after the march thru the city, the students will be joined by the faculty and
alumni, and all will march to the
chapel in the Administration Building,
where the speeches of the day will be
