olumn of Personal Opinio
By ANDREW ECKDAHL
Editor, Summer Kernel

C

Dr. Frank L. McVey, for 23 years
president of the University, retired
rom that position Saturday.
The growth of the University during his tenure stands as testimony
of his achievements.
Compared to
this solid example of his worth,
flowery words of praise teem idle
indeed.
And it has never been my policy to
Iran toward the flowery side.
President McVey has been a good
leader. During his time of office.
Uie University has grown in size, in
influence and in respectability.
He has shaped the University of
Kentucky to fit his definition that:
"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 Lit-

erature:
The center where youth gathers
to learn.
It protects the tradition.
Honors the new and tests its value:
Believe in truth.

Protests against error and
Leads men by reason
Rather than by force."
During the four years I have been
at the University I have, on ocasion,
disagreed violently with the views
expressed by President McVey.
But I do know that he has done
one thing. He has presented a way
of life, a philosophy, that is admirable.

Whatever has been my opinion of
Presidents McVey's views on individual matters, I know that I
can find no better philosophy to
guide me in the Journalism profession than his admonition to:
BELIEVE IN TRUTH.
PROTEST AGAINST ERROR.
LEAD MEN BY REASON RATHER THAN BY FORCE.
Not being as pontifical in my
writings as the majorityof the editors of the country, I feel wholly
inadequate to pen the glorious and
moving words so apropos for a
Day column.
6o I decided to let my readers
have the real McCoy.
Youll find it on page 2 of today's
Kernel. It's the declaration of Independence.

Poe Cooper officially became President of the University yesterday.
There was no ceremony of any
sort held, of course, due to President Cooper's absence. He has been
in the national capital for several
days on business in connection with
the college of agriculture, of which
he has been dean for the past 22
years.
Officials at the president's office
said Doctor Cooper was expected
back in Lexinton today, and will assume office immediately.
Yesterday also saw another change
of tenure:
Dr. Frank L. McVey.

McVey. He will continue at the
University in the capacity of professor of agricultural economics, and
will lecture and do research work,
Maxwell Place, home of the University's Presidents, was being vacated late yesterday by the McVeys,
who will reside at their new home
in Tahoma Park, off Nicholasville
road.
President Cooper or rather Acting President Cooper has told the
Board of Trustees that he will serve
in that capacity only until a perma- nant head for the institution has
been selected. He was chosen by the
Board at a meeting early last month.

Doctor McVey and President Coop

quarter of a century, both coming to
Kentucky from the University of
North Dakota, where Doctor McVey
had served as president for several
years. President McVey came to
Lexington in the fall of 1917, and

People Said It Was Good And
They Did Shell Forth Rubies
By ANDREW ECKDAHL
Now it came to pass in the reign
of Franklin the Spender that the
solons of a certain country known
as the United States did become
sore afraid when they contemplated
the armed might of the nation.
For they heard of wars and rumors of wars and of a madman of
of the east, calleth Adolf, whose
hordes advanced in horrible metal
monsters that crawled over towns
and trenches and hi screaming birds
calleth Messerschmitts. And he did
treat warrior nation and peaceful
nation alike.
And they heard of rumblings in
the west where a race of men call- eth Japs did make noises liken unto
belligerents, and they were crafty,

Declaration Of Independence
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers
cf the earth, the separate and equal stations which the Laws
of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be
that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty,
and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
towers from the consent of the governed. That whenever
any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established
should not be changed for light and transient causes; and
accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the form to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right,
it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome
and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate
and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation
till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended,
he has utterly neglected to attend to them
He has affected to render the Military independent of and

He has kept among us, in times of peace. Standing Armies

He has affected to render the Filitary independent of and
sujerior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constftution, and unacknowledged by our
laws ; giving his Assent to their acts of pretended legislation :
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: ...
For imposing taxes on us without our Consent : . . . .
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most Valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our
Governments:
In every state of these Opression We have Petitioned
for Redress' in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince,
whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British
brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration andsettlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have
conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow
these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the
voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in
War, in Peace Friends.
