ATHLETES, ATHLETICS AND
ALUMNI
The problem of college athletics is a many sided problem and
In a great many universities and colleges a rock upon which the
alumni, faculty and student body split. However, at the University of Kentucky athletics have been kept in. their proper place
and never have threatened to supercede the primary mission of a
a university or college. There are. of course, a few who think that
too much attention is paid to athletics. Another few think that
not enough attention is paid to athletics. The large majority of
Alumni, friends, faculty and student body, however, believe that
athletics at the University of Kentucky are on the proper plane
and are satisfied with the condition as it exists.
There is one matter, however, that has brought forth a great
deal of criticism from a great number of Alumni. That Is the
failure of the University of Kentucky to attract the greater portion of outstanding athletes from Kentucky. Alumni accuse the
University of letting these outstanding athletic lights drift into
the teams of other universities and colleges. This is a condition
that Alumni can only blame themselves for.
The Alumni Office and the Athletic Department of the University receive letters almost every day from interested Alumni
telling of some outstanding athlete that should come to the University of Kentucky and wear the blue and white. Now the Athletic Council always is glad to have this information and in its
limited way tries to influence the prospects to come to the University of Kentucky. When a particular athlete is persuaded to
go to some other institution the alumnus who suggested him is loud
and long in his criticism of the University and athletic authorities.
The one who should have influenced that athlete to come to
the University is the alumnus in his own home town. He knows
the prospect, knows his capabilities, his financial condition, and
his preference as to the university or college. He knows his parents and knows best the avenue of approach that will influence
that particular man to dnter the University off Kentucky. In
several communities in Kentucky are Alumni organizations of other universities and colleges. These organizations interest themselves in obtaining suitable athletic material for their own institutions and do all In their power to influence athletes to enroll
there. Consequently while some of our interested but more or
less inactive Alumni are writing criticism to the University, alumni
from some other institution have made off with a prize athlete.
College athletics is a necessary part of a university or college.
Successful teams are the desire of every alumnus of every institution. Kentucky so far has been far behind the place she should
hold. This has resulted from a shortage of athletic material.
At this time each year the outstanding football, basketball, baseball or track man Is considering where he shall take his higher
education. For the most part they are not sure where they want
to go or will go. Now Is the time for Alumni of the University
of Kentucky to do their part in the building of a successful football, basketball or baseball team. Expend the same amount of
energy in personal appeal to the prospect that would be expended
lh criticising the system here and we venture to say that there
will be an increase in athletic material on the campus of the
University of Kentucky next fall.
