EXPERT MAKES PLANS
FOR IMPROVED CAMPUS
President McVey at the last meeting
of the Executive Committee, was au
thorized to communicate with some
landscape gardening concern with the
idoa of beautifying the campus. The
firm of OlmBted Brothers, Brookline,
Mass., among the foremost landscape
gardeners in the country, sent a rep
resentative to the University last
week, to get data from which plans
will be made for campus improvement. These will be submitted to the
Executive Committee for approval be
fore any active steps are taken.

It is here and here it is spring fever. It produces
a sluggish, tired feling that is at once ambitionless,
and a check to good work. When it becomes prevalent upon the campus there is a let-u- p in all
things but one, and that thing is loafing.
None ever become hardened enough to be entirely
free from infection. It is, as the logician would say,
casually connected with green grass, with the smell of
the earth as its surface drvs after a gentle rain.

Kentucky. No institution ever needed intelligent attention in this field more than this instituion. Buildings are
in bad repair; ground's are allowed in many instances to
become unsightly. Class rooms need reappointment
and refurnishings and the entire campus needs general
overhauling. With the new era of activity into which
the University is entering, the work of no man in the
clerical forces is more imperative than that of the Buildings and Grounds Inspector.
