In accepting the labors and duties attendant upon
E*m°*‘¤hil*- the editorship of The Alumnus, I assure you the
selection was no choice of mine and I accepted it ·
with only a slight knowledge of the duties involved, yet knowing quite well my
weakness and also the sacrifices necessary to be made. However, it is only
through an ardent desire to serve my Alma Mater and the Association, and
because of my deep appreciation of the service rendered by those loyal alumni
who are laboring so unselfishly for the University that I undertake the arduous
task of editorship.
‘ In contemplating the work that confronts me, I can in a way appreciate as I
have never before the difiicult road that those have traveled who have preceded
me, and my heart-felt sympathy even at this late hour is extended them, and I
earnestly request the fullest sympathy and co-operation of each and every
alumnus that The Kentucky Alumnus may successfully serve its purpose.

g In reviewing the work of the past year, The
· P°“°Y· Alumnus takes the opportunity to announce that
~ its policy will remain unchanged, and it will
i endeavor to develop and extend it so far as possible.
L It is a regrettable situation that The Alumnus cannot be altogether in accord lm}
§ with the present policy of the University. However regrettable this situation mt
{ may be, as soon as the University will announce a plan of efficiency and high film
{ standards-—morally and otherwise, the elimination of politics, selfish interests, — mi
¢ cliques, and the spoil system—whenever it catches step with the modern idea of a am
° university and of teaching the youth of this State-—teaching it the ideals of the
’ ` citizenship, The Alumnus will be found in the forefront of this forward dc?
· movement. em
· In speaking of conditions at the University, The Alumnus will do so plainly, gmc
g with only one idea in mind—to let the public know the full truth, feeling that av
I one—sided publicity has been a great drawback to the University and that the ECT
i right kind of publicity will help correct many evils. It believes that the evils €·
i   have a natural aversion to publicity. for
The Alumnus is merely trying to advance the interest of the University, but 1
the University must be rid of politics and the spoil system and in their stead
Y efficiency and high standards established. It will be found boosting wherever it
` can find something of merit. It will criticise, criticise constructively, if youplease,
those things which are not conducive to the best interest of the University. There- the
~ fore, it may have a great deal to say in future issues concerning the Board, the Octl
Faculty, their acts, and things generally about the administrative affairs of the `lem
University. In the work of elimination of inefficiency in the government of the at t.
University, it asks the co-operation of every alumnus, every friend of the
University and education generally and the Press of the State. Stud

` The Board of Trustees is composed of thirty-
‘ TM B°°'d· three men. If the Board by accident or otherwise annt
should matriculate at the University and attend com
classes, it would increase the attendance nearly three per cent. The board is Kas
made up of excellent men——most of them—but few of them know any thin: Gt-at
about the making and running of a university. Some of them take no interest
in the affairs of the University; some honestly try to do what they can for its the ;
best interest; others have become disgusted and rarely attend the meetings; while the
there are others who are mighty busy all the time and usually put over thintzi almt
just the way they have planned them. With such a Board of so many divergent Patt
views and purposes, one cannot expect much to be done along constructive and of h
permanent lines, and Tl1e Alumnus advances the suggestion that the law bt .
amended so as to reduce the membership to seven and certainly not over nine. the 1

embarrassed or influenced by the power that gave them their position. .

l' The Politics in the University affairs is running at q
ic th? P°mi°¤· high tide. There are a number of varieties, some
t Wm ` of a recognized origin and others of an origin `
unknown. Since the last issue of The Alumnus, two political acts of a major l
accérd nature have been staged—one in the nature of paying a party political debt in the  
xiii? `appointment of Senator Peak business agent of the University, and the other  
UN _ in the nature of serving a private interest in the handling of the printing press  
temstl and later in transferring it to Frankfort to pay another political debt. And i
za Of   there are minor ones galore, too. These come in in the nature of clique politics,
ials Oi department politics, friendship politics, obligation politics, in which one clique
31-ward enjoys the spoils over another, or one department is exploited at the expense of ]
_ another, or a salary raised, or a promotion made through personal friendship or |
?l‘*‘“l*'· favor through outside influence which may be personal or political. These state-  
lg that ments will be denied, but they cannot be successfully denied. Everybody knows  
mt the they are true. They are common talk and common knowledge. {
