Many interested alumni and friends have asked:
T'“` 1"““· \\”hat is the plan? It is generally agreed and =
understood that the terms “pla11" and “remedy" Q
are synonimous. The plan of the Alumni Association, and which The Alumnus i
. . . . . . ,` t
champions, is the plan ot a complete reorganization of the University. The
Alumni and friends realize that a proper reorganization cannot he brought about `
overnight, nor in a fortnight, nay—may he not in a {ew short years, as a  
reorganization such as the University must have works slowly, but work it must i
if the University is ever to amount to anything. In this work oi reorganization, 1
The Alumnus desires to say to the Alumni, former students, friends and to the ;
press of the State that the work will necessarily lie slow as the ailments are
millly and deep rooted. It may, therefore, require more time, greater ellort and

  Qlfijl Director of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, having succeedetl
      `- Dr. Scovell in that position about the Hrst of November, IOIZ, during nearly all
A     of which time he was also Dean of the College of Agriculture. His connection
    with the Experiment Station began ]uly 1st, 1<)II, as head of the l)epartment o'
  ?‘j*jl Chemical Research, then just organized. He filled the chair of Chemistry in tht
I     University of Yirginia from 1909 to 1911, succeeding Dr. Mallctt; was chief oi
    ~ the Division of Chemistry of the Hygienic Laboratory, United States Publit
l   Health and Marine Hospital Service, at \\i2l$llil`lQlOll, 1905 to 1{,O(), and Professor
l ii" of Chemistry of the State College of Kentucky 1888 to 1905. He received hi~
      ` Master`s degree at the State College of Kentucky in 1886 and the degree oi
  tl T, Doctor of Philosophy at Qlohns Hopkins University in 1888, where he was ;.
    favorite student of Dr. Ira Remsen. In 1895 he was married to Miss B. Callit
    \Narner, YQI, who survives him, with two daughters, one of whom is now gt
    senior in chemistry at the University of Kentucky.
I       \\'e cannot recount Dr. Kastle`s achievements in chemistry here nor list hi~
    ‘ numerous scientific publications. Perhaps his most striking work was that nit
    oxidases, begun while he was Professor of Chemistry at old "State," this
    being at the time a new subject, bttt one which has proved to be of the highesi
    importance in biological chemistry. It was as a teacher that most of us knew him;
  itil? best. He possessed in the highest degree that ittborn faculty of inspiring his
      students with the desire to think out and work out for themselves the probleni~
      placed before them to the uttertnost analysis.

rsoiialit? ADDRESS OF DR. JOSEPH H. KASTLE, ’84, AT ALUMNI
°"lt""i“ BANQUET OF UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY,
ch inane JUNE 5, 19]:6.
The following address was made by Dr. I. I·I, Kastle at the Alumni
banquet of the University of Kentucky upon the presentation of his portrait ,
by members of the Alumni to the University: -
“My Friends——I had before me recently, a copy of a note from the Hon. '
Henry \\’atterson, addressed to ljrofessor Anderson, in which he said ‘that the
days of his speech·making ended long ago] As we grow older, we can i
sympathize and appreciate this very sensible point of view, and if the precise ’
truth were known, there are doubtless many of us, less gifted than Mr. E
VVatterson, who might also wish, that the days of our speech—making might °
be over.  
“As an old farmer friend of mine, once complained, we Kentuekians ean`t I
cut a watermelon, without making a twenty minutes speech about it. To speak  
to you, on this occasion, therefore, in fact even to be present—is somewhat of I
an ordeal to me, and if I consulted my own impulses, I would read about this i
beautiful gathering, amid the quiet surroundings of my own breakfast table ,
tomorrow morning, or in my own study—so dillicult it is to control these   `
