  altogether be possible on the annual dues received. It exists because some loyal V pl€1111111¥
  alumni go down into their "jeans" for its support. Nvllilt do you think of the , $01116 hi
  . alumnus or old student who anxiously awaits the appearance of the Journal and · out of 1
  borrows it from his neighbor and refuses his financial support? He is in the Y PTC
    same class with the saintly Christian brother, who attends church in a liundretl — class if
  thousand dollar building and listens to a five thousand dollar preacher and ev.  q MCF?lTl
    pensive music and never contributes a cent, claiming "salvati0n’s free." So is the  V '£ll0$@ 0

  . SCOVELL STUDENT LOAN FUND.  .
    ‘ For several weeks, Scovell Chapter of the honorary agricultural fraternity,  p pn
§§ `· Alpha Zeta, has been endeavoring to raise a hundred dollar loan fund to be used _ _ . _
  lto assist deserving students. \Nhen the amount was very nearly raised, Mrs, mltshli
  ‘ Scovell, now in Kansas Citv, learned of the movement and promptly sent one T was T
lil hundred dollars to assist the movement. ` Ml
ill   Nothing that we could say here would add to the feeling of a¤ilmiration_ Z OTH th
_   ‘ respect and even reverence in which the name of Scovell is held in Kentucky.  .
l j’ \Ve trust that the example of Scovell Chapter of Alpha Zeta will be followed  ,
  1 1,; by many organizations and individuals who remember from experience or obser—  if Tl]

l,` ' The view section of the book has been made up of a number of pictures y “°lll m
Q   selected from a large number of State and campus views. This section is bein:  , Chilmlll

si   _ .. This year’s Kentuckian has been dedicated to the Commonwealth of Ken- {
El   I . tucky. In affecting this idea the editors have had a three—colorecl spread of the 5 D]
  ' State Capitol prepared that should prove one of the most elaborate designs that  i mmlml
Q`   _ have ever appeared in the Kentuckian,  i and th
li   Probably the section that should make its strongest appeal to the alumni is V- dwg iw
  `   the 24-page insert ]ubilee Section. In this section have been gathered a latx€  Z_ wérk `
  W number of the clearest pictures taken by the three photographers that wcrc  _ author

    carefully prepared and interesting account of the occasion, make the most com- _ ti

the early class-tree planting was kept and only in the last few years were proper ‘
i markings of trees made. It is to be regretted that no records of the various I _
` plantings were kept, as it makes it almost impossible to locate many of them- ` 3
, some have died and the same spot taken by other classes and others have passed I
 i out of memory. _ _
Prof. Frank T. McFarland, of the University, is making a survey of the  
. class trees with the idea of properly marking them. If any one can give Prof. » A
- McFarland any information as to the location of any class trees, particularly ~ Z
 i those of the early class plantings, such information would greatly assist in this .

1   I believe in America because of the principles of government; because of iter ‘ H, E_ Cm

E Clark, of Kentucky VVesleyan; judge Charles Kerr, Desha Breckinridge, Pro-
fessor F. Patil Anderson, Dr. Glanville Terrell and Dr. \/Vilkinson. 1
I  . Dr. \\’iley’s talk briefly handled the question of education today and he ex-
Zl pressed a regret that the large colleges and universities are placing such em- L l
A r phasis on technique and leaving such little stress on the human and altruistic
2 ° side of the youthful training. He lamented the fact that the aim of the educator
l . and the student seems to be to make a living, to amass wealth or to acquire fame,
)_ _ altogether forgetting the bigger and broader side of the work for the benefit
__ i Of mankind, of the state and nation and for future generations,
Qi  » Dig \/Viley, who has been for many years a brilliant light in the stellar world y ‘ A
C · of scientists, has offered his time and labor and the accomplishments of his brain ·
al  N {Oi- the betterment of the American people. He is better prepared to advise and   -
_ to warn the American people of the dangers of training young people in the lines Z
— of skill and efficiency alone, than any other one man. His observations are com— l
° pelling and his word an authority on any subject. {
  The other speakers for the luncheon were happy in their remarks, many of  
lk  ( which touched lightly on education in the State. Dr. Terrell alone made a formal l
ll` 1 but brief talk on George \\’ashington and the American idea of patriotism. Pres-  
lc   ident Barker presided at the luncheon, which was attended by about 100 guests  
Q and was one of the most enjoyable in which the faculty of the University have . l
