During the past year, the University
of Kentucky has striven, under difficult
circumstances, to improve its
standards so as to rank with the highest and best Universities of the country and its efforts have not been in
vain. It has had rebukes from Frankfort, from Centre and Transylvania,
but yet it remains the victor. It has
failed to get needed appropriations but
the Kentucky pride and initiative generalship of its leaders have carried it on.
Graduates are going out into the world,
taking their places on pinnacles, where
they rightfully belong, and it's president stands out as an ideal for University presidents.
The most important stride toward
the greater Kentucky University is
the new basketball building. It is a
handsome structure valued at $90,000

Dr. John J. Tigert, United States
Prof.
Commissioner of Education,
MoHenry Rhoads, Superintendent of
Public Instruction in Kentucky, claim
the University of Kentucky for their
Alma Mater.
President Frank L. McVey is president of the Association of State Universities, an honor worthy of his leadership and ingenuity.
The University has on its campus
the strongest National fraternities in
the world and its locals are some of
the best in this and surrounding states.
All adhere to strict scholarship and
by so doing raise the standards of the
institution among the leading schools
of the country.
Athletics
The varsity football squad had a
fairly sucessful season with four victories, three defeats and two ties.
Their most notable achievement was
accomplished November 17 when the
Wildcats held the Golden Tornado of
Georgia Tech to a 3 to i tie. "Dope"
had it before the game that State
would he submerged by the wonderful
Tech team, but, spurred on by the
tunes of "On, On, U. of K." and "My
Old Kentucky Home," the Kentucky
lads fought like true Kentttckiaiis and
Sander's educated toe brought to Kentucky one of the greatest moral victories ever won.
The Cats, on Nov. 3, received their
annual trimming from the "Praying
Colonels" at Danville in a sea of mud.
The score was 10 to 0, closer than it
has been for years, and we predict that
the 1924 battle will be between two
evenly ma'ched elevens.
Kentucky won from Marshal, Cincinnati, Mcryville and Geoigetown;
lost to Alabama and Tennessee; and

Alpha Delta Sigma, men's honorary
journalism fraternity, will be host at
:he third annual gridiron dinner to be
given June 9 at the Phoenix Hotel.
These dinners are modeled after the
famous gridiron dinners of the Washington newspaper correspondents.
Governor YV. J. Fields and private
secretary, George C. Waggoner, accepted an invitation Saturday to the
dinner. They were called on personally by J. Sterling Towlcs, President
of Henry Watterson Chapter of Alpha
Delta Sigma, and J. A. Estes, alumni
representative.
Invitations were mailed Saturday to
editors, publishers, politicians and
business men throughout the State.
About 200 are expected to attend,
many of whom have already accepted.
Senator A. O. Stanley accepted some
time ago. Dr. Frank L. McVey is expected to attend.
