Dr. Thomas J. Copper, new Dean of
the College of Agriculture and Director of the Experiment Station, who arrived here last week to take up his
new duties, made his first appearance
before the student body in chapel
Tuesday morning, when he made a
brief talk. President McVey introduced Dr. Cooper as a trusted friend
of long standing, whom he had always
found to be a real man, and followed
him in a discussion of the ideals and
aims of the University and students
for the New Year.
Dean Cooper commented on the preeminence of Kentucky in the raising
of tobacco and corn and in the breeding of live stock, and said that he felt
greatly honored in being called to the
leadership of the agricultural interests
in such a great agricultural state, and
felt the opportunity thus given him
to be one of the greatest in the United
States. In closing he expressed pleas
ure at the prospects of his work here,
and a desire to meet personally the
students in the College of Agriculture.
The problem of training young men
for the armies of Democracy lies on
the heart of Dr. McVey, and he gave
what he characterized
as a most
worthwhile message of the war, as
coming from the son of a United
States Senator, who enlisted as a pri
vate, and is now a second lieutenant
'n charge of a battery on the French
front. The young officer was quoted
as saying that a knowledge of mathematics, especially of trigonometry,
was of the greatest assistance to a
soldier, as much of the military
science was based on mathematics;
'hat men of intelligence and proper
training advance most rapidly in the
army; and that men of clean life
counted above the other sort in fatigue, burdens, alertness, and the performance of all duties.
The president urged all students to
take a pledge to themselves for the
New Year to conserve time, be earnest
in their efforts, live clean, do their very
best work and strive to make 1918 the

the colleges of America wll lbe exempt
from draft until they complete their
engineering courses, thereby insuring
the government a band of educated
men ready for the most efficient service. Following is the latest statement
of Provost 'Marshal Crowder to the
Secretary of War made public January
4, and received by Captain Royden
Monday.
"Within any event the greatest' caution should be exercised not to interfere with the technical training of the
younger group of men The higher
training should be protected from undue Inroads, for It Is there that the
practical sciences are being developed. Both war and industry must be
able to count upon a continuous and
ample supply of trained young men.
The experience of continental countries here has its lessons for us.
"The technical courses should not
be allowed to be gutted. Already by
volunteering alone, many or most colleges, have lost, on the average, fifty
per cent of their students. The number at stake is not large in respect of
the mere man power of the army, but
it is potent in its possibilities for service if properly trained.
"A wise expedient would be (if the
age limits are lowered to 18 and 19),
( 1 ) to require every technically trained
student in a recognized college to enter the enlisted Reserve Corp and to
relieve him from call by a local board
during the completion of his course;
(2) to require every such student to
take a course of military instruction
and drill for each of such years, or to
enter an officers' training camp during
the summer; (8) to appropriate sums
necessary to provide military instruction and drill at every college furnishing a unit of 100 men. By this means
the vital demand for educated young
men could be filled and at the same
time their preparation for military
service, when needed, could be insured."
This means that the engineering colleges of America will be supplied with
undergraduates,
men from every
branch of service, engaged in the
mighty task of becoming technically
trained to insure the progress of the
world after the war.
Captain Royden, in an address to
the battalion of the University laBt
Friday, voiced the sentiments of Provost Marshal Crowder in advising the
young men of the United States to
complete their college courses before
entering military service.

Department. Mr. Lenky arranged an
agricultural course which is necessary
for the University.
When questioned in regard to the
firing of the Mining Building, Dr. McVey expressed great regret that it
should have happened, and said he
believed no student was guilty. Dr.
McVey also expressed great appreciation of the kindnesses shown him
since coming to Kentucky and especially of the
of the students.

$1,200

Fire, supposedly work of incendiaries, occurring in the Mining building
last Friday night shortly before 12
o'clock caused a damage of approximately $1,200. The loss was fully covered by insurance.
The blaze was first discovered by
R .A Belt, a student in the new dorm
who immediately gave the alarm. The
fire department hurried to the scene
and in a short time the blaze was un
der control.
Three fires were discovered in the
building, one in the basement, and two'
in the attic. The one in the basement
was extinguished with little difficulty,
while the blazes in the attic gave the
firemen quite a fight before they were
finally brought under control.
Practically little or no damage was
done in the basement, but the attic
was almost completely gutted before
the flames were entirely extinguished.
Water caused quite a bit of damage to
the rest of the building and fear is
expressed that a large part of the plas
tering of the building will fall or have
to be removed.
The fire in the basement originated
with a blazing lump of coal that was
used by the department for exhibition
purposes. Those in the attic were in
the rafters and were burning briskly
vhen the department arrived.
On the next morning investigations
as to the cause were immediately in
stituted by the heads of the depart
ment, assisted by Deputy Fire Marshall Hite and Detectives Veal and
Stewart of the city detective department.
Their report shows that the fires
were of incendiary nature as the lump
of coal in the basement had been saturated with coal oil, as had been the
rafters in the attic. Quantities of
waste were also found near the scenes
of the blazes and it is supposed that
the person used paper to assist him in
accomplishing his purpose.

THIRD TRAINING CAMP

ABOUT

It is the idea of both Professor Barr
and Dean Norwood that the building
was fired with the intention of destroying the records of the department of the coal and gas deposits
thruout the state The idea that the
deed was the work of a German agent
is gathering strength as the investigation Is continued. While the plans
and records of tho coal deposits compiled by the department are of great
value, it is very unlikely that the pro- '
ductlon of fuel thruout tho state would
'
have been hampered, as their burning
'would havo only meant their replacing, which would have necessitated
quite a bit of work. Several clues as
to who the fire bug Is have been found
