famous Kentucklan who is dear to the
hearts of all natives of the State.
The increase in the quality of work,
the addition of new features, and the
excellent success of the book is due to
the very capable staff which worked
long and faithfully to get out an annual that will make the 1916 class be
remembered for years to come. It is
conceded by all to be the best work of
literature and art that the students of

and one which will cause the coming
classes .to work unusually hard to
equal.

composed of Herbert Graham, editor;
