KENTUCKY ALUMNI ARE PROMINENT
Nearly thirty years ago the young graduate from the University of
Kentucky found a very interesting and lucrative field for the exercise of
his talents and energy in that comparatively new world of the engineer's work
known as heating and ventilating engineering.
It has been said many times that there are more graduates from the
University of Kentucky occupying prominent positions in the heating and
ventilating profession than from any other technical school of America.
The American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers meet in
32 annual convention
next week for the first time away from the great
centers of production and the University of Kentucky is very proud indeed to
hnve so many of her alumni in this particular work in engineering return for
a few days of combined business and relaxation nbout the old campus and
haunts of student days.
Here are a few of the men who are prominently identified with heating
and ventilating engineering:
J. I. Lyle, General Manager and Treasurer, Carrier Engineering Corpor
ation, Newark, N. J.; L. Logaiv Lewis, Chief Enginueer and Secretary, Car

SALUTATION AND GREETING

American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, in national
session convened in Lexington, the University of Kentucky and
crh it the commonwealth,

It is fitting that your forward-lookinto
so vital service to the country through the medium of men consecrated
through your labor and research, and a flame with a passion
human
for develonment. should conduct its deliberations in Lexington.
Here is located the University of Kentucky, chief educational institution
of the state, and here too its engineering college, for more than a quarter of a
century an outstanding institution in America devoted to the training of
engineering prou
men for the handling of the manifold and
lems that confront the Western world.
chairman of council, and
This College, headed by the first
chairman of your executive committee, of the great organization you
represent, a borrowed product of the good state of Indiana, whom Kentucky
adopted with as positive a fondness as she has ever shown to a foster son
has long since taken its merited place among the great engineering colleges
of America
To this institution came Paul Anderson, in every sense as much a
pioneer in his chosen field as was our own courageous Boone in his, an
intrepid spirit that longed to test the span of eager wing in the wide
atmosphere of big endeavor, aflame with that which amounted to a passion
to point out the way of usefulness to the youthful manhood of Kentucky,
aggressive, energetic, albeit a dreamer of dreams From his young manhood
as a teacher to this good hour, when he folds the lofty position in which his
worth in your body has assigned him, has been very far. But years have
dealt kindlv with him because his spirit has maintained its changeless pur
pose to remain forever young through contact with youth, and through the
abiding reflection that he has served and led it well.
You honor Kentuckians therefore, by your electing to meet here in
his home city, because Kentuckians feel that you have thus honored him who
has given his life to the leading of their sons and daughters into paths of
usefulness in the commonwealth and ni tho nation. The writer of this, long
his friend, always his admirer, seeks in no sense here to pay him tribute,
preferring rather that the "work of his hands" shull speak his praise in the
realized dream of his life, as the years bear him gently with their fruitful
memories toward its twilight and its evening hour.
But what this salutation started out to reflect was that Kentuckians,
especially Lexingtonians feel added pride in this opportunity to act as bouts
for their friend to so distinguished a body of men as yours.
Although you have segregated yourselves into a division of men given
over to development of and research in the great problems of heating; and
ventilation, it cannot be forgotten that you belong also to the great American
fruternity of Engineers. '
Your hosts think of you as men who have borne the brunt of real service,
because, he who adds to human living even a modicum of comfort, exa.ts
labor and dignifies its purpose; nor can wc forget that when civilization was
moving toward the mightiest cataclysm that hud threatened it since Christ
hung upon the Cross, and the engineering ski!', of the old world had marshalled its evil cohorts to complete the disaster, it was to the ranks of the
engineers of our country and its allied powers that we turned-tdevise the
machinery that was to urrest its flaming progress. Courage, brains, pariot- (Bv ENOCH

civilization who had learned tho sanguinary lesson that Christ sought to
teach when he said, "I came not to bring pence but n sword." It was snvngc

end of the bloody march lny civilization rescued from death. You performed
Immeasurable service in the devine cause of its snlvatlon. You helped to
keep n flag that had never touched the dust forever in the sky. You and
your comrads wrought to the end that victory at last was made to break
into smiles of jubilee on glory's bloody face.
But this still is not what the more or less erratic and humble comnilcr
of this expression of welcome to you Engineers set out to say. Want above
all it should reflect is that while we are proud that you permit us to be your
host, you have chosen wisely by selecting for your plncc of deliberation a
community that feels that it can offer you restful, attractive, even historic
environment, far from the din, the confusion, the mingled voices, where com
mercial strife and unrest may not enter and divert.
Ours is n pnstornl land, a land of contentment, of self satisfaction if
you please n "land of corn and wine," albeit the pestiferous Mr. Volstead
has wrought such havoc to the latter enterprise that wo now are reduced to
the humiliating necessity of falling back for your liquid cheer upon the
dwindling residue of a state gone mad with the heat of pitiless drought, or of
filling the hospitable cup with that doubtful brew, the handiwork of outlanders
who work out their salvation with stealth under the fading light of the pale
and sympathetic moon.
Nevertheless a hospitable citizenery extends a hand hand of welcome
uncqualed in warmth elsewhere in the round world to a land of fadeless
beauty, of stillwatcr3 beside which fat cattle roam, of fructifying fields, the
blood of whose grass is as blue as the blood of its stock is red. WJb cite
you to a land whose people are kindly and plain and sincere, wholesome in,
a hospitality that has bestowed upon them a pleasing soubriquet that poets
haw tried but failed to enshrine in song and orators sought in vain to
eulogize.
But above rll we feel that we do invite you into the company of rare
spirits who have embellished the history of our' race, and who, though some
have passed out beyond the "purple West," still live in their immortal deeds
still rule us from their urns. Some sleep here in our own soil. Some rest

elsewhere in'massoleum or beneath costly monument that proclaim their
worth as part of the elemental wealth of n common American fame. And
if the comforting belief have basis in fact, that the dead return to fore
gather in spirit where their kind assemble, then may we not indulge the
pleasing fancy that they participate this hour in your deliberations; because
the true Kentuckian has never failed to revere manly men, men like you who
do things, and like you, who serve humanity as they sought to serve ?
If the occasion were not so imperative, modesty would forbid the calling
of a role that brings back in radiant personnel, to brood over your sessions,
such rare Kentuckians as Isaac Shelby, Jefferson Davis, Zachary Taylor,
the sage and lofty Lincoln, of whom one gifted pen has written that his
"life was as serene as a summer's day when the reapers sing amid the
golden grain;" such men as O'Hara, as our Commoner, Henry Clay, whose
home is scarce without the shadow of the building where you gather; of
Crittenden, of Trimble, of Dr. Ephraim McDowell, who dared death that
he might preserve life; of Stephen Collins Foster, whose music gave us our
tenderest song; of Williams Campbell Preston Breckenridge, the silver
cadences of whose tongue still linger in our borders; of Waterson whose
brilliant pen wrote and whose bravo mind conceived a finer independence
than men were wont to know; of James Lane Allen, Judge Mulligan, whose
tongue and pen alike enriched Kentucky oratory and tongue and pen alike
enriched Kentucky oratory and literature and whose home was even upon
the campus where you are convening; of James K. Patterson, the beloved
"Jack" Neville, the saintly Shackelford and Joe Kastle and Roark and
Scovell and Loos and McGarvey, Grubbs, Milligan, statesmen, orators
journalists, jurists, executives,, poets, novelists, ministers of the gospel of
the "fair haired Nazarinc" men like you above all and greater than all
evangels of enlightenment, servants of the people who stood upon the hilltops of their own transfiguration and saw the vision of the promised land, of
a greater Kentucky and a greater nation.
,
marvelous as, have been
Honored guests, great as has been the histn-ytheir achievements in the field of science, in industry, in war, literature
scholarship, invention, statecraft, government, religion in all the peaceful
arts that challenge the fancy of a wonderful people, thinking men agree that
we are but upon the threshold of still greater endeavor.
Nothing is clearer than that our own race has not yet readied the
farther confines of possible achievement. You are in the vanguard of this
majestic army of men, marching not to battle where blood is let and devas
tation wrought; you are in the vanguard of that
other army
of peace. Your field of battle is the field of research, the laboratory, the
experiment station, where the only weapon is human thought and the only
victory that is worth the struggle is that victory over ignorance.
We hear much of "fundamentlism" and "modernism" and all the foul
brood of damnable "isms" born of stupidity. These but fetter the brain
and balk investigation. It becomes increasingly apparent that men who do
things care nothing what "isms" triumph or whether any "isms" live or die;
they know enough to know that they do would serve as
to
prejudice and error but close the door to all hope of intellectual salvation
either in this life or any other life that is yet to come. They know enough
to know that the real curcifixion is the crucifixion of truth, and that they
who come thereafter to weep at the foot of that cross, weep in vain.
Kentucky welcomes you, therefore, because she believes you are set
out upon th Holy Grail whose destination is fact; and she believes that from
the crucible of honest thought and intelligible research shall come the
white light that shall lead at last to that divine thing we call truth truth
about heating and ventilation if you please, truth about metals, about power
and how heat and cheapest to produce it, about molecular energy and mater
ial things; truth about the tensile strength of iron and steel and thereby
truth about the tensile strength of the intelligence and the morals of men
and women who are at last the hope of our citi :enship.
Gentlemen of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating
the entire commonwealth greets you. The door is wide open. The
windows, are unbarred. "The sun shines bright on the little cabin floor.'1
The family board is spread. Come,, in. Sit ut meat nnd break bread with
us and let us reminisce, if you please, over that Kentucky to which the
gifted bard of Maxwell Place tuned his lyre in these exquisite lines:
