From my personal knowledge
I know that many students have
given to this fund sacrifically.
If those who have so given endeavor to spread this fine spirit
of loyalty upon their return to
their homes, the campaign will
be greatly assisted, the alumni
of the University welded into a
working whole and Kentucky
will be honored.

SENIORS

By subscribing $11,000 more
than the quota of $25,000 assigned to University of Kentucky students to be applied to
the building of a basketball auditorium and stadium, the fine
spirit and loyalty of "our boys
and girls" was never more admirably exemplified.
If they had not taken the
lead in this laudalble enterprise,
and "run away with the bit in
their teeth," so to speak, this
great campaign would have
doubtless resulted in failure.
I have lived and worked
among them for nine years, and
I have come to the conclusion,
that mentally, morally, physically and intellectually, they are not
surpassed by any young men or
young women on the continent.
Their prompt response to this
campaign demand is another expression of real fightin' blood.

'Midsummer Night's Dream' Presented in Natural Amphitheatre on Campus
Night's Dream" was
given on the campus of the University
Tuesday night by the Dramatic Production Class under the direction of
Professor
Fleischman,
assisted by
Professor Hincks. The play had been
scheduled for Saturday night, but on
account of rain had to be postponed
until Tuesday night.
The performance was given on a
temporary stage constructed in a hollow near the Agriculture Building. The
e
formed a beautiful natural
amphitheatre where chairs were placed to seat the audience of nearly 3,000.
Lights were brought from Neville Hall
and were successfully used. The stage
was artistically decorated with flowers and shrubbery.
This was the first outdoor production ever given by the Little Theatre
and from the enthusiastic praises and
hearty applause of the audience the
entire play seemed to be the great
success that had been anticipated. It
is hoped that this will be the first of
a series of such plays and may the
custom be kept up until it becomes

gram.
The cast was as follows:

The Seniors celebrated the traditional "moving

in
chapel which day is all the name implies, a day when the Seniors move
from their accustomed places and dare
defy the dignity of their instructors
and "take off" the most imitable members of the faculty.
