games, upon which the authorities
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
games played elsewhere than on the
home field, which the Athetic Council believed would bo greater than
they were.
The Council, in casting about to
make up a program of economy for
the forthcoming year, is asking the
' SuKy Circle and various other organizations on the campus,, to start
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
to sell their tickets.

HOLDS

Kappa Delto Pi, honorary Educational fraternity, held its monthly
meeting Tuesday night at the Education building at 7:30. Mr. Ivan
Barnes, Director of Vocational Education in Kentucky, addressed the fraternity on "The Future of Vocational
Education." Many of the members
were present. The next meeting will
be held the first of next month.

CAPS!

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

Last Friday at convocation, President McVey stated that there had
been a noticeable shortage in the receipts from athletic contests this
year, partly owing to tho fact that
some students have adopted tho habit
of exchanging their season tickets
with other students und townspeople.

Tho worst feature of tho case seems
to bo tho fact that there is a warning

(Copyright 1925, By International

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.

games, has been too

The executive committee of the
Senior Class and the university
authorities have decided that the
class dues be included in the registration fee.
This year the dues will be $7.00
and the amount will be included in
the registration fee of each senior.
The fee charged this year is
smaller thnn it has been for several years.
In 1923 the fee was
Slo.92, nnd in '21 it wns $12.00.
This reduction is made possible by
the certainty of collecting the fee.
Last year there were G7 seniors
who did not pay their dues.

E. H.'Wilkins, dean of the college
of Arts, Literature and Science of
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
of the Americal Association of College Women in the afternoon at the
Phoenix hotel.
"Dean Wilkins' standing as an
educator is indicated by his choice
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
Professors, which is making a study
of the methods to increase the intellectual standards of college students."
ProfessorStates says that as dean
at Chicago, he has led the way among
the larger universities of the country
in his treatment of students as individuals and not simply as raw material for an educational machine.

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.
