In last week's issue The Kernel's cartoonist and
feature writer imbued by some clairvoyant power turned
prophetic and predicted dire defeat for Mary ville's. Mountaineers in the opening football game of the season.
Evidently neither of these two are cut out for weather
prophets since their prophecies were accomplished and
in a manner most gratifying to the supporters of the
Blue and White. Truly, Maryville was the first goat
and old Mr. K. Wildcat administered to the impudent
neophyte who dared to defy him, a sound paddling.
Prospects for a brilliantly successful season took
on a rosy hue at the university following Saturday's
game. Granted that a little more practice is needed to
polish and smooth the actions of the team, this is a relatively small matter which will be taken care of in this
week's practices. The team showed up exceptionally
well Saturday for an opening game and
are
already predicting great things for the '26 Wildcats to
all appearances the mightiest eleven that has represented
the university for many years.
This year the university enters upon the football
season with the most difficult schedule, probably, it has
ever faced. Great opportunities lie before the school to
gain wide recognition in athletic circles.
And as the team goes forth to conquest on home
field and foreign, the student body will play no little part
in the combats.
Cheering, "rooting," loyal student support is an important ingredient in the composition of a
winning team. University of Kentucky students have
always supported their teams, and this year in the desperate struggle with mighty opponents, each member
of the university toam will fight ever harder because of
d
the knowledge that with him always is the
support of his college mates, win or lose.

The paper read by Doctor Rush is entitled "A Rational Basis for Ventilation" and immediately upon its
publication it attracted nation-wid- e
interest among engineers and public health officials.
The Kernel has for some time watched with interest
the work of Doctor Rush. Not only has he worked zealously in improving his department at the university, but
he has always been willing, indeed eager, to do anything
that lay in his power to advance the health interests
of the community. It is, therefore, with sincere pleasure that The Kernel now notes the recognition and
honor that has come to. Doctor Rush through his paper
on ventilation.

A REGISTER OF ACHIEVEMENTS
session, the University
Beginning with the 1927-2- 8
of Kentucky will offer a curriculum leading to the award- ing of the degree of doctor of philosophy to those who
successfully complete it. The establishment of such
a course of study was authorized at the last meeting
of the board of trustees and details pertaining to such
establishment are now being planned.

The board of trustees is to be heartily commended
for the action they have taken in thus advancing the uni-- p
versity academically. It should and will be a matter of
pride to faculty and students to be connected
with the only university in Kentucky and one of the
four institutions in the whole South to award the
Ph. D. deeree.

As this latest step of advancement is entered in
register of its achievements, it is a
source of distinct pleasure for those who have the inever-growi-

terests of She institution deeply implanted in th'eir
hearts to glance over the book and note the number
and importance of the achievements entered thereon in
the past two or three years.

Seldom a week goes by that at least one such achievement is not chronicled thereon and such ones have been
made the past few years as have been dreams cherish- ed for years by university officials.

' The establishment of a Phi Beta Kappa chapter at
the university, the housing of the Law college in its
own modern building, the recognition by the war department of the university as a "distinguished university" in matters military, the construction of new
buildings, offering of additional courses of study, and
other improvements too many to enumerate here, climaxed by this latest step of progress in the awarding
of the Ph. D. degree, tell the story of "progress,
great and deserved.

"WELL DONE"
A significant social event of the current session
was the celebration on Tuesday evening by faculty
and other university folk, of the golden anniversary of
2 the wedding of Dr. C. J. Norwood and Mrs. Norwood.
,.

The occasion was one in which expressions of affection were numerous and sincere from those whose
privilege it has been to know and associate with this
charming couple in the many years that Dr. Norwood
has been connected with the university.
In season and out of season through the years that
have marked his connection with the University of
Kentucky, Dr. Norwood has not let pass one opportunity to disclose his perfect loyalty to the institution, nor
has he failed to stamp the impression of his outstanding character on the young men and women who have
come under his influence.

.

As he has gone about his work of training
ican youth for better manhood and womanhood, Dean
Norwood has been blessed as have been few men
with a companion who has perfect understanding of the
hopes and ideals of her mate. Queenly in the fine graces
of maternal womanhood, kindly, thoughtful, generous,
plying: of herself at all times for the welfare of others,
Mrs. Norwood has endeared herself both to members of
the university faculty and to thousands of alumni who
have come in contact with her.
Life with its multitude of vicissitudes, its countless
obligations and trials, holds nothing more beautiful than
opportunity to inspire youth with noble ideals and to
induce them to lead lives full of service. And so as
these two people, not old in the sense in which we so
often count age, but merely matured in service to their
kind, pass peacefully on together toward that place
where the sun is setting in the west, they take with them
the gratifying assurance that they have done this in
full round measure and likewise the good wishes of
countless thousand.

WHEN METHUSELAH TURNED

RELIGIOUS

DISCUSSION

o- -

Dr. J. Archer Gray, pastor of the
Maxwell
Presbyterian church, is
the writer of the following article,
the third in the series being printed
weekly in The Kernel. The Sunday
school lesson for this week is taken
from Numbers 13:23-3- 3
and Dr.
Gray's article pertains to this lesson.
The Report of the Spies
This is the first instance in history where a party of engineers was
sent out to make a survey of a new
Jterritory. They did not have the
scientific instruments we use today,
but they succeeded admirably with '
the natural tools bestowed upon them
by the Creator.
These 12 men were hand-pickeone from each of the 12 tribes, each
a representative man, selected from a
standpoint of ability, courage, char-

acter, citizenship, and judgment.
They were sent to study the land
of Canaan, and to bring back to the
people a report of conditions as they
existed there. Their report was to
be a true thesis and was to include
the topography of the land, its
trees, its dimensions, and its inhabitants, including their number, history, industries, religion, mental and
physical development, whether warlike or peaceful, their armies, food(
supplies, implements of warfare, and
in a general way, just how hard or
easy it would be to overthrow them
and take their lands.
Had No Enthusiasm
The band went forth, with no great
enthusiasm for the project. Moses
had commanded this survey and he
was old, in his dotage, and inclined
to be arbitrary, as they thought. What
was needed was a new leader, one who
was
with new ideas, one
who was abreast of the times. But
they made an investigation after a
fashion, each man going his way according to his ability, and after completing their work, met together to
decide upon the sort of report they
Would bring in.
In committee meeting the report
was most promising. The- land v as
everything Moses said it was, but
and here is the first time in Biblical
history where the little-bi- g
word "but"
entered in was it the right time to
embark upon such an enterprise ? They
forgot that they were but a committee
of investigators, that they must not
editoralize on their thesis, and that the
decision of their future actions was
in the hands of a Higher Power. So
they brought in a discouraging report,
the land was fertile, the waters were
good, the country rich in possibilities,
"but," the inhabitants were war-likgiants, and their civilization and development such, as to make their committee seem like grasshoppers both in
their own sight and in the 3ight of
others.
"As a man thinketh in his heart so
is he," was the statement of one Bib

These men
had grasshopper hearts, yet even
grasshoppers can overrun a farm and
by sheer numbers and perseverance
drive the farmers to ruin. Elbert
Hubbard once said, "if you can't work
up enthusiasm about your jobs drop it
and let some other man who will do
it right have a try at it."
Lessons to Be Learned
There Nare just a few lessons to be
learned and applied. Have your heart
in your work or don't enter into it.
Be faithful in doing with your might
what your hands find to do. Remember that you are not the final arbi-trof the actions of the whole body.
These men were forced to remain in
the wilderness for forty years longer
because of their direliction and not

until the last man had died and was
buried, did the children of Israel enter
the promised land. The lesson today
ought to make us think as it is the
first time in the Bible we learn of the
sins of the fathers beinjr visited upon
the children to the future generations.
Our deeds today, no matter how trivial
they may seem to be, are another link
in a chain that in days to come will
bind our children.

'

i

These men afterwards repented
with bitter tears and deep regret, else
unless they had confessed, the intrigue would never have been known.
But even 'with a confession of wrong
doing, the penalty is not "in the least
lessened," for like a stone tossed into
the stream, its ripples go in ever
widening circles till they reach the
farther shore.

And it came to pass that when Methuselah was 65
years old and had been begatting for twenty years he
appeared before Enoch and said:
"Dad, the kids won't pay any attention to me. I
told them to look before they leapt into marimony and
here three of them eloped last night."
And Enoch, his father, being old and full of wisdom,
replied, saying: "Uh huh! Well, when you get old
you won't expect any sense from your kids. I never
see much in you."
And, when he was 187 years old, Methuselah begat
Lamech, and when Lemech was going on fifteen, Methuselah strove to advise him, saying:
"Lam, I'm nigh onto two hundred years old, and
I've seen a lot. Listen to the voice of experience and

stay away from the gals."
a
Thereupon Lamech gave Methuselah the
and
wed with five of the gals; the result being Noah and
many others.
And it came to pass that when Lamech was 220
years of age he called Noah aside and said:
"Listen to the voice of experience and don't marry
until you can afford to keep a wife."
Noah waxed merry and gave Lamech the horse
laugh and proceeded on his way with the flappers. And
Lamech tore his beard and went to Methuselah, saying:
"Pop, that young buck, Noah has the marriage bug
and he isn't earning his keep."
"Uh huh!" said Methuselah. "Seems like I've heard
such complaints before."
"But this is different!" wailed Lamech. "He won't
listen to reason."
And Methuselah sighed and said:
"Oh, all right! I'll talk to him. Not that it will
do any good."
And Methuselah spake unto Noah, saying:
"Boy, I'm 92 years and Borne months old and have
had a lot of experience. Better wait until you can keep
a wife before you get married."
"And Noah opened a jar of raspberries for Methuselah and the, result was Sham, Ham,, and Japhet.
And in the days that followed Noah came rushing
to his gradnfather, crying aloud:
The waters will cover the
"The flood is coming!
world."
And Methuselah filled his pipe and grunted.
And Noah shook him, crying aloud:
"Gramp, you must help me spread the alarm and
save the people. They won't believe me."
"They wouldn't," said Methuselah. "And they won't
believe me. They've got to learn for themselves. Let
'em drown."
And, having reached the fullness of wisdom and
discovered the futility of advice, Methuselah laid him
down and died at the age of 969 years, thereby avoiding
the wet spell.
