For weeks, the students of the Uni

Kentuckians that have gone before,

Otherwise, it is a "different" book
and "the kind that satisfies." From
the cover, an exquisite design, done by
William Wallace, Engineering student,
to the Gossip Section, full of newsy

University has a section in the an

Gossip have been arranged, each sec

Differing from the custom of former
Kentuckians in dedicating the book to
illustrious men connected with the
University or to the State, as did the
1917 Kentuckian, the 1918 Kentuckian is dedicated to the 500 University
men and women in service for their
country, and from its khaki cover to
its sacred memorial to the two valiant
sons of the University, who so nobly
gave their lives to their country, the
spirit of patriotism prevails.
The features of the 1918 Kentuckian
are features indeed, unprecedented by
any annual before. Twelve great Kenhave been honored with a

of the graduates of the University

lack of professors and underclassmen
