lvH of people come to the Summer
Session but not so obvious is who
they are. where they come from,
why they came and what they are
going to do while they are here. So
when the editor told us we could
write a column we decided to get acquainted with some of these people
end tell you about them.

In Alumni gym where people were
milling around yesterday signing
their names to class rolls, we
bumped into our friend Charlie

Miss Brand teaches the third grade

Yearns Far Pool
Galbraith has attended the Summer Session four summers and is
working toward a master's degree in
education administration. He's going
to go swimming and play pool when
he isn't studying and wishes the field
house with a swimming pool were
already here.
Miss Brand likes the looks of the
plans.
She expressed interest in a glee club so
perhaps she will be tryout for the
operetta that is being planned. (Rehearsals daily from 1:30 to 2:30 p. m.

Midway Commuter Is First
To Register For Session
By PAT HAMILTON
When the doors of alumni gym
opened at 7:30 Monday morning,
approximately 40 students were already waiting outside to get registered early for the Summer Session. But No. I In passing the first
gate in the matriculation line was
Edgar Sergent from Midway.
I asked Sergent how he ever got
up so early. He simply said, "I set
my alarm clock." But further conversation with him revealed that
he lives on a Woodford county
farm.
He will not be a farmer, however. He plans to graduate next
February from the College of
Commerce and hopes to secure a
position as an accountant. The
old commuter said he would
take business English and business
law this summer.
Among the early birds, men
seemed to be In the majority.
Whether this is indicative that
men get up earlier or that more
men come to s'unmer school we
ar

cannot say. Only three of the first
ten to register were women and

they were No. 8. 9. 10. They were:
Mary Caswell. Cynthiaha, Mary
B. Oormley,
Jessamine county;
Elizabeth S. Moffett. Cynthiana. All
three are seniors In the College of
Education.
J. H. Blain, Dry Ridge, Agriculture senior, was the first to pass
the second gate. Sergent came
through fourth.)
Close behind
Blain was Edward E. Ball, a teacher of vocational agriculture at A.

This is Ball's third summer at the

Welcome Summer School
Students

the life of a university many turning points arise, but all of them fit
into the whole of its history as the
years go on. So now that we are
turning the page to a new administration of the University, there is
and must be in its life a continuity
from one year to another.
As we gather here tonight for the
purpose of conferring degrees upon
a great group of students who have
lived for a number of years in the
University community, I am sure we
are impressed with the large company who have come to pay their respects to and to see those who graduate at the University of Kentucky.
Commencements at the University
have grown steadily in character of
the occasion and in beauty of pageantry that has been so carefully
worked out by the community in
charge of the ceremonies.
Tonight the record shows that
this ceremony of commencement is
the 73rd in the life of the institution, and in time it brings to a close
the 75th year since the founding of
the University in 1865. In a modest way this 75th anniversary
is
commemorated by our meeting out
of doors under the canopy of Heaven to confer degrees and to bring
to a close the solemn ritual the
academic year.
Three Epochs Listed
The history of the University of
Kentucky may be divided into three
epochs: First, the epoch of union
beginning in 1865. when the Department of Agriculture and Mechanic
Art was set up under the Morrill act,
as a part of Kentucky University.
This arrangement continued until
1878 and was brought to a close by
the bickering and misunderstandings
growing out of an attempt to combine in one institution the interests
of church and state. The second period, known as that of the State College extended from 1878 to 1907.
In that time the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts was started and buildings were erected on the
present campus. The City of Lexington and Fayette county gave the
present site, which had been the
county fairgrounds, and funds for
the new State College. In the year
1907, the University
period began
when the name of the institution
was changed to State University of
Kentucky. During this generation,
the University has attained the form
of an American university and has
developed a university spirit.
"What is a university?
A university is a place:
It is a spirit:
Men of learning.
A collection of books.
Laboratories where work in
science goes forward:
The source of teaching
And the beauties of Art and

Literature:

The center where youth gathers to learn.
It protects the tradition.
Honors the new and tests its
value:
Believes in truth,
Protests against error and
Leads men by reason
Rather than by force."
Reason Over Force
The essence of this definition are
men of learning and a spirit that
is free; books and equipment; earnest
and eager students: belief in truth,
protesting against error; and a burning desire to lead men by reason,
rather than by force.
Five presidents and two acting
presidents have served the University during its history. The first
one, John Augustus Williams, presided over the affair of the new
educational infant just one year,
resigning to become president of
Daughters College at Harrodsburg.
The came Joseph Desha Pickett,
who remained two years, resigning
to become the state superintenden.

Following
him, the father of the University.
James Kennedy Patterson, was in
office 41 years. Henry S. Barker
came in 1910 and continued in office for seven years. After, him. I
came, and have been at the University of Kentucky, as you know.

Thus, three presidents
have been office for a total of 71
years. The two acting presidents
were Prof. James G. White and
Dean Paul P. Boyd.

The great task of

is to see the world

in its possibilities and to those problems, the University should be able
to bring aid to the commonwealth
in finding the right way. When this
function of a University is recognized and utilized, the Universiy of
Kentucky will indeed hold a place in
the lives of the people of the state,
and support and prestige will come
willingly and freely to. it.
A Rule For Guidance
It is important always that the
principles of sound education shall
guide the University of Kentucky.
The University must be free and
A
tolerant
and
fundamental appreciation of the arts
and sciences as the basic phases of
education must be maintained, while
an understanding of the vocational
field and leadership in vocational
education must be recognized. If
we are to aid in the solution of the
problems of the. community, of the
state, of the nation and of the world,
and of human personalities, we must
have real foundations in the accumulated wisdom of the past and in the
best practices and respects of the
present.
In this City of Lexington where
we are gathered tonight, I have
lived for nearly a quarter of a century and I have found it a pleasant
and interesting town in which to
reside. Through the years the citizens of Lexington have been kind
and sympathetic. I like you and I
thank you. Since I have completed
my majority as a citizen of Kentucky.
I hope I may now be accepted as
one of you. Kentucky is a beautiful
state, filled with interesting people
who have learned to be friendly with
each other during nine months of
the year while undergoing the most
emphatic political battles that engender great heat but result in no
permanent blisters during the remainder of the year. Because it is
a lovely state, I expect to continue
to live in Kentucky, and I trust that
I may be of usefulness in one. way
or another to this, my adopted commonwealth.
In these 23 years the staff of the
University of Kentucky has tripled
in number. I h
