had hoped to realize a profit, were
played in inclement weather, thus
cutting down even normal gate receipts. Some dissatisfaction was felt
also in the matter of receipts from

they were.
The Council, in casting about to
make up a program of economy for
the forthcoming year, is asking the

a campaign for the purpose of putting
to an end the abuse of student tickets, which condition may have been
due to a misunderstanding on the
part of the students in their right

Kappa Delto Pi, honorary Educational fraternity, held its monthly

were present. The next meeting will

It has been brought to the attention of the Student Council that
n great many of the freshmen arc
not wearing their caps since returning nftcr the Christmas holidays. There seems to be an opinion prevailing among the frosh
that they do not have to wear their
caps after the first semester. This
is an erroneous impression. All
freshmen will wear their caps until Moving Day in May. If this
rule is not carried out by the frosh,
drastic measures will be taken by
the Council. Let a word to the

The student council of Harvard has
appointed a committee of five men to
study the methods employed by other
colleges in the selection of leaders in
cheering and singing.
The student council thinks Harvard's failure to win athletic contests
is partially due to indifferent leadership in vocal outbursts.
Now don't smile at this thought.

the University of Chicago, noted educator, author and authority on the
romance languages, will be in Lex-in- g
January 22 at the invitation of
the local Chicago alumni, according
to M. N. States, University of Kentucky professor and Chicago alumnus.
Dean Wilkins will discuss with the
alumni the new development program
of the University of Chicago.
In addition to his address at the
alumni banquet to be held at the Lafayette hotel, Dean Wilkins will speak
at the University of Kentucky convocation in the men's gymnasium at
10 o'clock on the morning of the 22nd,
and to the Central Kentucky Branch

"Dean Wilkins' standing as an

by the Y. M. C. A. to direct the Association's educational program in
the Army camps in this country during the war, and by his appointment
to head the important committee of
the American Association of College

UNIVERSITY NOW POSSESSES RARE
BOOK KNOWN AS "BREECHES BIBLE"
The Edition, One of 2,950 Volumes Donated by
the Late Dr. Patterson, is Printed
In Old English Type
The memorial library given to the
University of Kentucky by the late
Dr. James K. Pntterson, contains a
rare book known as tho "Breeches
He procured the Bible in
Bible."
London through the offices of his correspondent there, B. F. Stevens & Co.
The book was printed in England
by Robert Barker in 1011. Tho volume is in good condition and tho typo
is in Old English. Tho book is bound
in tan leather and is approximately
0 inches wide and 13 nchos long; although the cover has lost some of its
gloss, it is well preserved.
Tho term "Breeches Bible" originated from a verse in tho book of
Genesis, depicting the full of Adam
and Eve. Tho verso concerned is in
tho third chapter and reads as follows: "Then the eyes of them both
were opened, and they knew that they
wero naked, and they sewed fig leaves
together and made themselves breeches."
Except for the substitution of tho
word "aprons" for "breeches," this
.

passage is identical in the St. James
version.
Professor Walter K. Patterson,
brother of the late president, said
that the Bible had been in his brother's possession for twenty-fiv- e
years
prior to his death. The fact that the
book is over 300 years old and that
it is a "Breeches" edition makes it
very valuable. Tho volume contains
tho "Geanealogies Recorded in the
Sacred Scriptures according to evpry
family and tribe with tho lfo of Our
Savior Jesus Christ observed from
Adam to tho Blessed Virgin." As it
is given in the old style, a "V" is
used for a "U" and an "f" for an "s."
Tho Geanealogies
aro all hand engraved in symbols and pictures portraying different events in the history of the race.
The Bible contains the New Testament nnd a supplement of psalms
and hymns. Tho memorial library
contains 2050 volumes and remains as
a memorial of Dr. Patterson's high
regard for literature and his love for
the university.

HUT WHAT OF KENTUCKY?
Kentucky limestone will be used in the building of one of the largest,
most beautiful nnd most inspiring buildings in Pittsburgh, which will be
erected next year by the University of Pittsburgh on the fourtocn-ncr- e
quadrangle facing the entrance of Schcnley Park, nt n cost of $10,000,000.
The new building will accommodate 12,000 students. It will be the nucleus
of the university and will express Pittsburgh's spirit of achievement, which
has been Chancellor John G. Bowman's vision for several years.
Intensive study by business leaders, nrchitects and engineers for the
past three years has been given to the plan, nnd the remnrkable design for
the structure is the result.
An unusual feature of the proposed university building, which, because
if its impressive dignity nnd beauty, has been described by enthusiastic
friends who have seen the plans as "Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning,"
is that it may bo seen nt a long distance from each side.
The building will be Gothic in stylo, will be 360 feet long nnd 200 feet
wide, nnd will be G80 feet high, having C2 stories, reached by sixteen elevators. The Woolworth building, in New York, tallest in the world, has 51
floors and is 792 feet high. It will have four entrances and will provido
classrooms, libraries, shops and laboratories for all of the schools of the
university except those of medicine nnd dentistry. The main doorways will
be 39 feet high. This structure of white Kentucky limestone will be the
tallest and most inspiring mas6nry building in the world.
In seeking a designer for the new university structure, the trustees
endeavored to find nn architect of commanding experience in designing college buildings. As a result Charles Z. Klnuder, of Philadelphia, was chosen.
His creation is expected to take its place for beauty, dignity nnd grace, with
the greatest cathedrals in the world.
The building is designed to express in n supreme wny the spirit of Pittsburgh, courage, achievement nnd spiritual fineness.
It obtains its effect
from harmony of mass nnd proportion. Although compared with great cathedrals to emphasize its beauty, the new university building will be essentially an educational institution in appearance.

TALE OF PIONEERS
"The building will tell the story of the pioneers by its lift and form, by
its purpose, by fine paintings, by friezes decorating the study rooms, memorial laboratories, lecture rooms and libraries," Chancellor Bowman declared in explaining his vision. "The building will keep vivid the lives of
those who have done good work for Pittsburgh who have produced music,
built up industry, extended our knowledge of truth or interpreted the use
of beauty of life.
"The Lincoln memorial in Washington tells of the patience, justice nnd
humanity of Lincoln. But the structure is a national expression, not local.
The Washington monument means courage and the leadership of the first
President. But this again is national. The Bunker Hill monument is a
memorial to the spirit of independence.
It expresses, however, a sentiment
not only of Boston but of the original thirteen states. In London, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral record for England what England
is unwilling to forget. They preserve the tradition of service to the nation.
They also are the monuments of the British empire, riot merely of London
In a like manner, Athens, Rome and Paris have erected national memorials,
but never one that expresses a city s individuality and that alone.
The cost per cubic foot of the new building will be somewhat higher
than the corresponding cost of a low building, but Chancellor Bowman be
lieves this will be largely offset by the advantages of better light, ventila
tion, less noise and dust and decreased cost of upkeep. The saving in land
made possible by the high construction will also amount to
2,000,000.
Pittsburgh is building a "Cathedral of Learning" of white Kentucky limestone, while Kentucky youth is suffering because of the thwarted building
and expansion plans of the University of Kentucky. Other states are pro
viding from and using Kentucky's resources why does not Kentucky build
n
with her resources? Other states are inviting young Kentuckians to
their education there why does not Kentucky provide for her own?
Often the most brilliant, the most ambitious have not the money to go to
another school, have not the money to go to the state institution of learning
without financial aid from the university itself, but the university, with insufficient funds to properly care for those who cannot afford this higher
education is wholly unable to assist all those who certainly deserve this assistance.
Our president has the vision. This is seen in the progress made with
inadequate material, by the
planning and working. He
has a vision of Kentucky. It was this vision that caused him to refuse the
presidency of Missouri, where he would not have had to raise the funds in
addition to wisely spending them and where his time and thought could have
been given wholly to building and advancement instead of being divided between the carrying out of ths program and constantly hampering financial
conditions.
In his announcement that he would remain with the University
of Kentucky, Dr. McVey said:

Dr. McVcy's Announcement
"In a belief that a state university is the highest expression of the purpose of a democracy, I have given serious consideration to the question of
remaining at the head of the University of Kentucky, or going to a similar
position in the University of Missouri."
"The building of a state unversity must be in the main the work of the
people and in the nature of things it cannot be the job of any one man.
"At times during the past four years I have had the feeling that the
people of Kentucky held only a nominal interest in their university, but the
expressions of good will, coupled with definite assurances of support from
all parts of the state have strengthened my faith in the purposes of the1
people of this Commonwealth.
"The work now established on tho foundations already created by my
predecessors is not finished, it is only well started. What other state universities have done for their states the University of Kentucky can do for
Kentucky. All that is needed are faith, purpose and money. If we have
faith the money will come when purpose is clearly directed."
Many, undoubtedly, pledged their support to the program of Dr.
McVey for the growth and
of the university, and indirectly but
definitely, the state of Kentucky, but there are many more who, although
they have tho faith, do not seek to make others have this faith also. As an
alumnus of the University of Kentucky, as a citizen of Lexington, as a part
of the Commonwealth of Kentucky this is our institution, this is our state.
Those who realize this must "make their light shine." "Shall Kentucky go
forward?"

J. V. Faulkner, R. F. D. 3, sends a
contribution to the Patterson Memo
rinl Fund nnd pays a tribute to the
memory of "dear old He Pat." He
says that after twenty years in poli

the difficulties President Patterson
met and conquered in those early
days. He declares that they arc not

it is evident that he, along with many
others, hopes to striks a gusher on
his own premises sooner or later. He
sends a clipping from the local press
showing that he has "broken into

a daughter just through high school
