JUDGE LAFFERTY
The passing of Judge William
Thornton Lafferty, dean of the College of Law, of the University of Kentucky,- whose death occurred almost
within the hour that the Kernel went
to press with its last week's issue,
caused widespread regret and a sense
of personal loss to faculty and students alike.
Entering the University of Kentucky faculty in 1908 after a term of
years on its board of "trustees, Judge
Lafferty devoted the best years of his
maturer life to development of this
institution. These were years when
it needed both friendly counsel and
sagacious leadership; these he gave
in unstinted
measure. Among the
emphatic results of his enthusiasm, the
Kernel was reminded only yesterday
by a former member of the board of
trustees, that the establishment of
Agriculture and Education buildings
were owing almost entirely to Judge
Lafferty's efforts, both in the board
and in the Legislature.
Frail of stature, suffering grievously for many years, sometimes unable
to attend classes, the eminent jurist
nevertheless was faithful to his duty
and nothing perturbed him more than
when sickness prevented attendance
upon classes. He loved young men
and young women; he believed the
welfare of the state, thence of the nation, rested in their keeping, and he
brought to the divine task of their education full measure of mature ability
and marked enthusiasm.
The Kernel seeks not to pay tribute
at this moment, but it desires to testify to the esteem in which the students uniformly held the subject of
Jhese lines; to congratulate his comrades and his charges upon his leadership and to felicitate itself that it
had his confidence and kindly counsel.
Youth approaches death always
with awe. To it the last enemy is
forever cruel; and yet in the finer
sense the Kernel and its comrades can
not but feel that when the end comes
to friends who have met duty with
courage and devotion; to whom indeed has been extended the lofty privilege of entering the night in the
midst of service and panoplied for
further fray, they are blessed indeed.
We are sure Judge Lafferty's influence will live, and enable those who
come after him to carry on. Verily
we believe that when he passed into
the presence of his Creator, well
might be repeated the beautiful words
of the poet:
.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Senate, University of
Kentucky, on the Death of Dean
W. T. Lafferty
frail
Although
Dean Lafferty's
health was known to all members of
the University community, his sudcame as a profound
den passing
shock and filled our hearts with sorrow. For so long had he been our
comrade in the work of building a
University worthy of the name she
bears; so unfailing have been his ambitions and his efforts and his loyalty,
not only for the College of Law
which he founded, but for the entire
University of which he was a trustee
before a professor; so near to our
hearts had he made a place for himself by his friendliness, his
his freedom from rancor,
his unselfishness, his devotion to whatever tasks fell upon him.
We grieve over his going; yet we
are glad beyond expression for his
life and his service. A good man, a
true friend, a scholar, an inspiring
teacher, a bclovcr counselor to all his
students, a staunch fighter for better
civic conditions, he presented to us
and to the world the fine combination
of manhood and scholarship and citizenship. We feel deeply the loss that
has come to us, his colleagues, and to
the student body, and to the city and
State.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
his family, and especially to the beloved wife, who has so ably and devotedly supported him in his work,
and who has for many years enriched
the University life and worked for its
advancement. May divine comfort be
hers in her bereavement.

RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, It has been the will of the
Divine Creator to take from our midst
our beloved Dean, W. T. Lafferty, we
the students of the Law College, desire to pay this tribute of our appreciation, love and honor to his memory.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we,
the students of the College of Law, desire to place on record our profound
appreciation of his Christian charac
ter, his
service in the cause
of legal education in Kentucky, his
devotion to the upbuilding of the College of Law, and
g
his
friendship and sympathy for the students under his direction.

Be it further

their hour of sorrow.
Be it further resolved, That coppies
of these resolutions be transmitted
to the press of the city and state.

The Foolish Ones
Of all girls, the least intelligent is
"sensible" girl. As the
the
natural occupation of women is their
pursuit of men, so is their most penetrating munition a careful incognito
of their intelligence in the guise of
irresponsibility.
Their most appealing pose is ever an attitude of pretty
words, the
innocence. In shorter
most intelligent woman is the one
who best conceals her intelligence.
This theory is by no means new,
but it may be iterated wth special
force in a college dominated by female Roman Senators.
The Critic on the Hearth
"Produce me your best critic" says
Shaw, "and I will criticize his head
off." G. B. S. could do it, too, for he
is a super-critiCritics arc as vulnerable to criticism as their subjects.
They enjoy the advantage, however,
of being able to point their differences with
more acetic than any
others of the artistic tribe. It s only
when critics attack their fellows that
we have an even battle.
Yet, the reviewer
has more complaints from actors than any other
source. The place of acting in drama
is always provocative of disagreement
in any dscussion of aesthetic values.
For one critic to state that acting is
not an art is to have himself set uponby half his brethren.
Acting is no
more an art, of course, than criticism.
Neither are creative; both exist on
arts indispensably
to
antecedent
them. Actng is a profession that re
quires the same temperamental make
up that is characteristic of artists. The
exterior semblance confuses the pundits. Acting itself is but a trade that
requires, generally, unusual skill. The
skill consists in duplicating as nearly
as possible the author's conception
of the character.
The greatest actor
is the one who most nearly approaches
the author's idea.
Criticism of acting is always secondary and usually negligible. Press
reviewing is concerned with acting;
criticism is concerned with the primary arts. Yet, let the writer neglect a mention of the numbers in a
show in the process of analysis, and
they have at his throat. Disparagement, even abuse, is permissible, but
let him not ignore them in his relations with the clowns the critic is
continually on the defensive. He is
lucky to continue friends with any of
them.
