The representatives of the three

respective societies for the year, each

Each of the societies has no peer a

for the number of workers enlisted
and the annual budgets and contri-

Mr.. Terry announced that his 20

President Frost Introducing Cover

Kentucky is a state which always
stands up for itself, but we acknowl-
edge among our selves tnat we have
not made all the progress which we
desire and do not fink among the
sisterhood OF states in all particu-
lars as we would wish. We have not
yet succeeded in dlffusing education
among the masses OF our people nor
in protecting ourselves against vio-
lonce and lawlessness. Nor have we
in later years been contributing 20

whose public actions win the large
gratitude of the people. We bark
back to Henry Clay and We are proud
of the birth OF Lincoln, though Ken

Scholars or AthIetes7

Two interesting, not to mention sig
nificant, sets Of statistics have recently
been given out by Harvard college. One
of them discloses that a very large per-
centage Of the men who are entitled
to wear the coveted III" are the prod
net OF the private preparatory schools.
The other shows that fully as large
percentage OF the men winning the
not so much coveted scholarship honors
are the product of the public high
schools. II appears that while one in
every nine undergraduates is awarded a
scholarship, only one in every thirty
five academy graduates receive this dis
tinction The contention of the private
school defenders is that men who come
to Harvard from such Institutions as
Groton, st. Marks, etc, are leaders in
all sorts OF student activities, and con-
sequently have little time for the more
serious pursuits OF university life. The
first set of figures mentioned above
would seem to bear out their claim.
It is further stated--and it is undoubt-
eddy trliethat in a private school vir-
