turned over to the officers of the
school Monday and pupils began ar
irving on every train. All is life
and animation up there now. The
campus for the young ladies pre-
sented a scene of hustle and activity
Tuesday that was really inspiring.
Bright and happy faces were visible
everywhere. Many of the young
ladies had come back to resume their
studies. while many new faces were
to be seen.
Of course everything cannot be
done in one day and the assignment
of rooms and pairing off by the
young ladies, unpacking of trunks
and numerous other arrangements
had to be made, which consumed a
good deal of time. Consultations of
teachers and principals are still fire.
quent, but regular routine work on
their part and concentration of
thought on the different studies has
hardly yet been accomplished, but
by the end Of the week everything
will be in smooth running order and
the months of the first term of the
institution will have begun in earn
est.
About the only people who wear
troubled expression are the prin-
cipals of the school and the trus-
tees. They haven't room enough
yet for all the young ladits
who want to come here to complete
their educations. Everyroom in the
boarding department is full and
Messrs. Kuykendall and Smith have
had to notify ladies who did not come
on opening day that they could not be
accommodated. This should not be.
The trustees were in consultation
yesterday morning considering an
enlargement of the girls dormitory.
Prof. Kuykendall said that he did
not think it could be done in time,
but that he and others were trying
to arrange in some way for the aG-
mission of a few more ladies'.
McCarty Hall is full of young men
also, and an enlargement of the
building will doubtless be necessary
during the coming year. The regu-
lar tramp, tramp of the young men
and the pit-a-pat of the feet of long
line of college girls will soon be heard
the streets again and the big fire
which caused a general stampede a
few months since will be forgotten,
new associations will be formed and
the life of the school girl and school
boy will be as of yore.
The term just begun will be one
OF the most prosperous in the history
Of the institution. One hundred and
thirty young men and ladies have ma
circulated already, to say nothing of
a number of young people of the
city who may enter the school during
the coming week.
South Kentucky's future has be-
gun and it is evident that it will out
strip the past in it's care and educa-
tion of the young of the present gen
GRAFTON. All praise to the indomita-
bic Kuykendall and Smith, the I'M
firing board of trustees and all who
have in any way, financially or other
wise, been instrumental in the re-
building and enlargement of this
institution of learning. May your
efforts and patience never again be
taxed in the same direction.
1t has for sometime been the in
tention of the management of the
institution to throw the doors of the
new buildings open to the public
that it might see what an almost
marvel Of beauty, cleanliness, con-
venience and perfect adaptation has
been constructed for the young who
come here for an education. This
public reception, for many reasons,
has been deferred for time, but
Prof. Kuykendall said yesterday that
in the near future our people would
surely have the opportunity of in
,specting the buildings and every
thing connected with the grand ed
ifice which has been evolved from
standing bare walls, piles of debris
and ruin generally, as well as the
modern dormitory, for housing the
lady pupils.
