RESOLUTIONS ON DEATH
OF J. FRANK BATTAILE
death of Frank Battaille on
Friday, March 20, has caused profound regret among his associates and
friends in Lexington and on the campus of the University of Kentucky.
Many have been the expressions of
his' worth from the organizations
with which he was closely affiliated
as organizer and leader. The Alumni
association of the university may
well append its resolutions for very
few graduates have so loyaly stood
with the institution; have so effectively worked for its advancement or so
unselfishly devoted time and energy
and the experiences gained at great
personal expense us did he.
After graduation in 1008, fortunately indeed for alumni and students,
Frank Battaille allied himself with
business affairs that kept him in close
touch with the university. He know
its difficulties and handicaps and never
has the instance bdeu recorded in
which he refused or even hesitated in
giving aid. In the Greater Kentucky
campaign, in the stadium drive and
to orgunize the
in every attempt
alumni and to bring them to more effective usefulness ho did many times
more thun the average worker.
Therefore tho executive committee
of the Alumni Association desires to
to
pay tribute of lifelong devotion
Frank Battaille. und to express
through the columns of the ulumni
publication a profound sympathy to
Ids family.

The University of Kentucky banquet will be held in Louisville this year

expected that this will be one of the best U. of K. banquets ever held.
This will be u fine opportunity for all alumni in und near Louisville to
renew acquaintances and greet friends, who ut other times would be
scattered all over the State.
