Dr. Boyd spoke particularly of the
new spirit on the campus, the spirit
of joy over the University prospects
for the year and the spirit of seriousness on account of war conditions. He
said there are two reasons why the
University is now on the era of a new
life. One is that the State of Ken
tucky is supporting the University as
it never has before and new frlendB
are constantly being made both in and
out of the State. The second is that
the University has undergone the refining fire of adverse conditions and
is now emerging from this to a broader life. With the coming of the new
president, a man who has made his
mark in the intellectual world, of
noble intent, .with good judgment and
untiring energy, comes, bigger, better
things.
But beneath the joy there is a feeling of seriousness, due to the national
affairs. Many students have already
enlisted and those left at home are
preparing themselves for service, fired
with a spirit of patriotism, to meet
the industrial fight for American prosperity that needs must follow. Dr.
Boyd prophesied that this feeling of
joy and seriousness will bring a closer
between student and
teacher than ever before.
On behalf of the faculty, Dr. Boyd
stated to the students the rule of the
University against hazing in any form,
of which
is one. He said
the faculty would enforce these rul

OF NOTE

Doctor Frank L. McVey, the newly- elected President of the University of
Kentucky, former president of the
University of North Dakota, noted
author, economist and educator will
assume his presidential duties the first
of October.
Doctor MoVey was chosen president
of the University August 15 by the
Board of Trustees. Their decision was
reached after a careful study of a Hst
of men of international reputation,
members of the iNational Educational
Association and the Carnegie Foundation, which required three months'
diligent research on the part of the
committee selected by the Board of
Trustees and composed of H. C Stoll,
J. I. Lyle, Frank MoKee and Robert
Gordon of the Board of Trustees, and
Professors Boyd, Freeman and Roberts of the University faculty.
Dr. McVey, the predominating influence and direct cause of a remarkable increase in the attendance and
appropriations of the University of
North Dakota, is now busy preparing
a (monograph for the United States
Government on the European War
which will be used by the British Government in tha future funds campaigns. He will, however, come to the
University this week to pay a welcome visit, returning to his home and
work the first of next week.

President Henry S. Barker, whose
resignation takes effect on September
1, 1918, will turn over the affairs of
the University at any stated time.
The report of the committee on
nominations was unanimously favored
by the Board of Trustees and doubly
endorsed by Governor Stanley who
referred to his noteworthy Minnesota
tax law system, used in several states,
of which Kentucky is one, declared it
to be "the envy and admiration of
every lawyer."
Dr. McVey was born in Wilmington,
Ohio, November 10th, 18G9 the son
of Judge A. H. and Alia Holmes McVey. He graduated from the Toledo
graded and high schools and Ohio
Wesleyan, and in 1895 recoived his
Doctor of Philosophy degree at Yale.
He further pursued his studies in
England, returning to the States in

MANY CHANGES MADE
AT PATTERSON HALL
"Will wonders neer cease?" was the
chief expression to be heard as the
arrials at Patterson Hall viewed the
many changes in the dormitory and
exclamations of joy and surprise were
uttered whenever the new recreation
hall was approached. That room has
been decorated and hardwood floors
shine under the (brilliant lights. The
room affords a splendid place for
dancing and every night the strains
of ragtime so sadly lacking last year
are to be heard thru the corridors.
More changes are to be seen in the
of
rooms themselves as thirty-eigand
them have been freshly-paintethe floors varnished and it is understood that these rooms will remain In
good condition as "any girl disfiguring her room by thum tacks, nails,
screws, or mucilage will be liable to
a fine at the end of the year."
The fact that Miss Crane is to be
the director of the hall is In itself an
important change. Miss Hamilton
has for the last six years had charge
of the dormitory, 'but during this time
attendance
tho constantly-increasinof young women has added greatly to
her duties. She is now settled in
housekeeping In a beautiful little bungalow near the University and will
have charge of the social functions of
the school life this year.
