was
Some discouragement
encountered by the proponents of the
Kentucky Botanic Garden during
the embryonic stage of its existence due to the carelessness and
thoughtfulncss of children and visitors to the campus. Many times
the plants were broken or robbed
of their flowers, while some species
which were nearly Impossible to replace, were totally destroyed. In
addition to this, many labels besides the various plants were pulled
up, destroyed, or lost, causing extra
time and expense to identify again
and remark them. However, signs
throughout the garden have aided
in remedying this condition and
desecrations on the beauty of the
garden are seldom encountered
now.

The plans for the Garden were
drawn by Rarry Lindbergh, former
landscape gardncr at the University, who spent much time on this
project and in soliciting contributions for its development. His efforts were augmented by assistance
from President McVey and Maury
Crutcher, superintendent of building and grounds, and rapid strides
were made toward obtaining the desired goal. The actual management
of the Garden is now in the hands
of a committee from the Lexington
Garden Club and one from the
University faculty.
The Garden
Club committee is composed of
Miss Carrie Lee Hathaway, Miss
Mary Robinson, Mrs. Edward Clark,
Mrs. Spencer Broker, Mrs. J. F. Van
Deren, and Mrs. McVey. The Uni
verslty committee is made up of
Miss Mary DIdlake, chairman, Pro
fessor Olney, Professor Gorman,
Professor McFarlan,
Mr. Eugene
Simpson, Mrs. Laverty, Professor
Balleau, and Mr. Crutcher. J. A.
Rominger ls the present gardener.
The Garden has drawn, within
the last two years, many visitors
from all over the state and from
distant points. The annual Garden
Club days which are promoted by
the Lexington group and similar
organizations in other towns and
many interested nature-love- rs
inspecting the Kentucky Garden. Its
further development under contin
ued support, both actual and in interest, from these clubs will make
it one of the valuable institutions
in the state. It will be of immeas-ureab- le
benefit to students of botany, horticulture,
and art.
It
will be the subject of many lectures
and broadcasting programs, the object of plant and seed distribution.
The possibilities of Kentucky's Botanic Garden are unlimited.

"Conceit in any society or exoud
is not the way to popularity," he
said, "least of all on the college
campus. It is better to keep still
about one's merits and achieve
ments, and better still entirely to
rorget them.
"In every college one starts from
scratch, and It is wise not to scramble to the first row when the freshman picture is taken. Merit, ability
and powers of leadership find their
Just recognition as surely and as
properly on an American college
campus as in any place in the
world.
'Tailors and haberdashers can
help very little in that process, and
a tongue well lubricated is a great
handicap."

When college men get together there's plenty of
possibilities . . .
about
styles of play are heatedly debated . . . but when
it comes to Learbury clothes there is a beautiful
agreement.
Learbury scouts do not make their trips to leading
campuses for nothing . . . they interview college
leaders and get first-han- d
information on coming
styles and trends from the very men who create
them.
Is it surprising, then, that Learbury is accepted everywhere as authentic for college wear?
