The Memorial Coliseum was dedicated on May 30, 1950, as a memorial to   E
A Kentuckians who had given the last full measure of devotion to their country. ·   i
The names of 9,308 Kentucky war dead were enshrined on tablets in this building    
that future generations might not forget their sacrifice. f
g 111 june, 1950, just after the Communists crossed the 38th parallel in Korea to I
force Communism upon all of that country, the United Nations acted promptly to ·
stop this aggression. President Truman ordered American troops into a so-called   "·, —
cold war to prevent Communism from spreading over Korea and eventually all   5
the rest of the world. During the next three years there were approximately   - T
150,000 American casualties. Many of the war dead were Kentuckians. f Q
lt was decided that the names of these Kentuckians should also be enshrined f r
in the Memorial Coliseum that they too might be remembered among those who ‘
had purchased our freedom at the price of their lives.
For the third time we called upon Professor Ezra L. Gillis to prepare a list of
our war dead from Kentucky. After the First VVorld \Var he had prepared a ·
similar list which is enrolled in Memorial Hall, the building erected to the A _ .
memory of the First \Vorld War dead. At the close of the Second \Vorld VV ar the y
task of assembling the names of all Kentuckians who perished in this great con-
flict was again assigned to him, and after more than a year’s research he had
found the names of all Kentuckians whose lives were lost in the Second \Vorld .
\Var. About a year ago we again turned to Professor Gillis to assemble the names i _
of all Kentuckians killed in the Korean \Var. He has completed the list and the ~
number sacrificed iu this conflict. which has been referred to as a police affair. =
is 1159. Of this number 23 were former students of the University of Kentucky. 1
Beautiful tablets have been prepared and their names have been placed on the
honor roll at the head of the ramp on the west side of Memorial Coliseum. \Vc l
are again indebted to Professor _|.   Horine for his beautiful work in inscribing  
these names on the tablets.  
l
On Sunday, May 30, Decoration Day, 1954. the University`s Baccalaureate  
Sermon was delivered by Dr. Homer Carpenter. Minister Ecumenical of the First i
Christian Church of Louisville, Kentucky. Parents. widows, brothers, and sisters, l ·
a11d other relatives of these men attended this service. as well as the faculty, grad-
uates of the University, their families and friends, making an audience of at least
S000 present. The Army. the Signal Corps and the Air Force ROTC attended
in formation as a mark of respect to their comrades-in-arms who had died on the y
field of battle. i
This alumni memorial issue is dedicated to those former University students
who lost their lives and to all of Kentucky`s dead of the Korean \Var. May their
memories live in the hearts of Americans so long as this republic survives.
