last Sunday evening when the dole

brief and interesting digest of the

The first speaker, Jesse Tapp, told

A clear picture of the setting in

the hospitality of the Des Moines people was presented by Adele Slade.
She also commented upon the important part taken by women at the various meetings and the excellent and
forceful addresses made by them.
George Gregory spoke on "Great

Cromwell served to give those who
were not fortunate enough to attend
the conference some small idea of

which the principal addresses were

five student volunteers.
Fannie Heller spoke of the crying
need for missionaries in Corea, India
and other eastern countries in her

"Mohammedism, not Christianity, is
flourishing in the Near East," said
George Zorfoss, who brought back
from the convention an appeal for

only two per cent are Christian.
J. P. Barnes told of the needs of our

CONTINUED

Tho stage manager and play ocm- mitteo of tho Stroller organization
liavo decided to drop "Beau Brummel," tho play selected for the 1920
production at the Lexington Opera
House and to substitute for it "The
Climbers."
Tho reason for this step is that it
was disclosed as readings proceeded,
that a very much larger number of
young women desired parts in the
play than had been expected, and on
account of the fact that "Beau Brummel" gave opportunity for only a lim
ited number of these, it was considered advisable to make the substitu
tion, as the cast of "The Climbers"
Includes ten women parts and twelve
men parts, not less than four of the
former being outstanding characters.
The change will not cause any loss
of time as readings for the "Beau
Brummel" parts had not proceeded be
yond the reading stage, and these
readings will be indicative in selections for parts for "The Climbers."
As a matter of fact, preparation for
the play has started so much earlier
this year than in former years that no
difficulty is expected in the production
of the play, possibly late in March.
"The Climbers" is considered by
competent critics Clyde Fitch's most
drama,
compelling and masterful
bringing upon the stage delineation
that calls for nice conception of the
demands of Its various roles, both In
comedy and in its most serious aspects. There are in the play several
striking and Impressive climaxes il
luminated by a fine vein of satire up
on some of the shortcomings of the
"smart set."
modern
So far, the best talent in the Strollers is trying for parts. Competition
is unusually severe, and it is certain
that the '20 play will equal, if not
of past
surpass, its achievements
years.

DAY OF EXAMINATION.

There will be no issue of tho Kernel next week, on account of tho examinations. Tho editorial staff of this humblo publication has exams just the
same as the other lower animals (students, faculty, etc.), nnd exams and
getting out a Kernel don't go together with any noticeable success.
But what we started out to say is this: We hope, we believe that the
day of cheating in examinations has passed In this institution. It is common talk among both faculty and student body that this most desirable
condition prevails with perhaps some desultory exceptions, and the Kernel
,as tho mouthpiece we hope of the majority of the students takes pleasure
tin hailing this fortunate and highly commendatory situation.
There is a period In the history of all schools when cheating In examinations Is virtually unknown; that is, at the very inception and birth of
the institution, when the first enthusiasm of launching an enterprise of
such high ideals of service and existence seizes on the imaginations of
the attendants of the school and for the time being they, in some measure,
live the ideal set before them.
But as schools grow and elements inimical to their high purposes enter
Cheating occurs,
school life, the moral standard sometimes deteriorates.
in a few scattered instances at first, then with increasing frequency, until
jin due season it becomes accepted practice. Students do it and the faculties accept it as one of the necessary evils of school life., Examinations
become a game in which students and teachers match wits and in all probability each expends more energy on this contest than would be required ,
to pass examinations if they were carried on without friction.
These two stages of moral development the University of Kentucky has
passed through. It is now emerging into tho third stage, and we who now
have the good fortune to be students here should count ourselves fortunate
indeed that we may In such a time of crisis be able to further the best interests of the University by our own acts and attitude. This third stage
!Is that in which cheating gradually passes out of existence, and a spirit
of real honor and achievement grows up to take its place. This is the
most important moment in the history of the University, and we may
have a hand in the moulding of its destinies. If we have any scholastic
spirit, and it is indisputable that we have, there will be no cheating in
the forthcoming examinations.
The glory of an institution of learning is not in the might and prowess
of its athletes, nor in the costliness and completeness of its equipment,
nor yet again in the scholarship and fame of its faculty. It lies in the
student body, in the kind and quality of men it turns out, in their integ-- i
rity and uprightness, in their high and unafraid attitude toward truth.
. But it is not simply a matter of school spirit that should prompt us to
keep our examinations clean. There should be behind that a soul that
scorns the sully of unfairness, that is willing to face the consequences of
its own acts, and undergo any fair ordeal smilingly. This is the soul that
counts, the soul of greatness, the only soul worthy of the name. It will
not brook infringement of its code of conduct, in itself and will not allow
preventable infringement of it in others.
Let us hope that this is the spirit that will prevail throughout these
examinations. Wo feel suro that it will prevail; that the students of the
University of Kentucky will come through, successful or unsuccessful according as the preparation has been, but with a clean record that will
stand the most scrutinizing examination of that inward and personal
examiner, the human conscience.
SYMPATHY

FOR FORMER

COMRADE.

Tho Kernel hears with profound regret of tho death of Ed. D. Shin-niceditor of Shelbyvillo Record, and father of L. William Shinnick, former editor of tho Kernel, a graduate of tho class of 1917, and one of tho
most prominent students of tho last decade in tho University.
The Kernel knows that mere words are empty things in an hour Ilka
this to its former comrade, but it could not allow the mournful Incident
to pass without assuring him that this loss touches its staff also.
