University of Kentucky Museum
Is An Archive of Knowledge
Often it is said that mere courses
do not make a college that a real
atmosphere of culture, and opportunities for Initiative must be provided, if an educational institution
is to achieve greatness.
For the student of inquisitive
bent, the University has much to
offer. An entire building houses the
museum of - Anthropology and Archaeology. In this museum are extensive collections illustrating ancient life in Kentucky by means of
restored graves complete with skeletons and asoclated artifacts. More
than 20 years of investigations by
members of the staff of the University department of Anthropology
and Archaeology are represented in
these collections, which are regarded as one of the msot complete in
existence, as far as any single area
is concerned.
On the second floor of the Administration building Is the geological museum, containing collections
covering a wide field of natural
phenomena. Portions of this museum are devoted to fossils, minerals from both in and out of the
state, products manufactured from
Kentucky resources such as pottery,
and refinery products, meteorites,
and cave formations. Several electric lighted cave cases are veritable
miniature restorations of Kentucky
cave Interiors. Gems, many of them
of foreign origin, comprise several
of the Kentucky flourspar specimens excite favorable comment.
In Norwood hall and in Dicker

Mining museum being located in

I had no personal feelings against
the professor. It was not I against
the professor. It was his ideas
against mine. He had a black and
gold portrait of Karl Marx above
his fireplace, and ho knelt on his
stool every night in front of his
fireplace and spoke aloud his loyalty to the Image. He and I occupied the only two floors of the
building and I could hear him
quite plainly if I stood near my
own fireplace which opened into
the same chimney as his.
At first I listened merely out of
curiosity, then to reason against
him and his Socialism, then to argue, and finally to fight with myself against him. For four years
while I was In college the fight
continued within myself. I knew
that it was a losing fight. I felt
myself, the belief of my people,
that had ever meant anything to me in this life or any other, gradually recede from me,
leaving me desolate and alone.

Osborne cautiously pushed open

crumpled heap before the hearth.
His body lay as it had fallen alongside his hearth with his fresh blood

the bill hold that It also provides adequate safeguards to Insure
proper protection to public funds
advanced as construction and operating subsidies.
An analysis of the bill discloses
that the U. S. Treasury and the
public are protected. In the first instance, by prohibiting appointment
to the Commission of anyone who
within three years has been connected with the shipping Industry.
Further protection is afforded, it is
shown in the matter of excessive
salaries and profits, both direct and
indirect. Profits above a certain
amount are subject to recapture.
These safeguards apply to both
vessel construction and operation.
This new maritime measure is
hailed by disinterested and
citizens acquainted
with
this industry and the country's
needs as the best that ever has
been passed by Congress.
Many able and well qualified men
have been suggested for membership to the new
Commission created by the bill. It is
recognl.1ed as one of the greatest
importance that the Commission be
composed of men of the highest
integrity and other qualifications,
as a measure such as this with its
essentially wide powers is no better
than the Commission that the
Commission that executes it.
This new maritime measure. It is
averred, owes it existence and character to the patriotic devotion over
a period of several years of a few
able Senators and Congressmen.
They exposed the weakness of legislation then existing and developed
the plan and substance of this Act.
Foremost among these, it Is claimed,
is Senator Black of Alabama, who
has labored unceasingly through
weary months to Insure the Nation
a Merchant Fleet commensurate
with its needs. In these labors, it
is pointed out, he has been ably assisted during recent months by
Senator Guffey of Pensylvania.
Senator Guffey, it is stated, came

Discovery Of Oil
Fields Declining
The known oil reserves of thi3
country will last fifteen years at
the present rate of consumption,
according to a statement by Mr.
W. A. Sclvig of the Bureau of
Mines, Depratment of the Interior, before the Purchasing Agents'
Association meting at Hamilton,
Ont., Can., on June 17, 1936.
The present rate of consumption
is 900 million barrels per year, and
although new oil reserves are being
discovered, Mr. Selvig pointed out,
the frequency at which new fields
are being found Is declining.
The great increase in consumption of oil is due to the displacement of coal by oil burners for industrial and domestic heating; also
by the increased number of
automobiles,
busses,
and trucks which have replaced
some of the
railway
locomotives.
By way of contrast, Mr. Selvig
points out that at the present rate
of consumption the known coal reserves should last several thousand
years, only 1 per cent of the original reserves of the United States
having been consumed. These, for
bimost part, consist of low-ratuminous, he said.
In discussing the gradual decline
in the discovery of new oil fields,
Mr. Selvig spoke of the probable
necessity of supplementing oi wlith

present generation.
