Hobart Ryland, Dr. R. S. Allen,
and E. W. Thomas.
These three judges all know theii
dogs but each looks into the caninj
world from a slightly different angle. Doctor Thomas is a Lexington
veterinary while Doctor Allen, head
of the department of anatomy and
physiology, daily contacts dogs that
are destined for experimental purposes.
Doctor Ryland, head of the Romance languages department, utilized his hobby of collecting dsg
stories when he incorporated observations and information into a
fictionalized dog story, "Prof and
Easy" which has recently been published.
Doctor Ryland Versatile
The versatility of Doctor Ryland's
pen is shown in his works which
range from a book on contract
bridge in Spanish to the current
volume for young people.
Loyalty" and devotion of dogs is
the keynote in the adventures of
Prof, Easy and their friends, but
humor, excitement and pathos are
also present in the book which has
an appeal for dog lovers, regardless of age.

Doctor Allen, who keeps three

Student Writes Open Letter To McVey On O'Bannon Case
Writer Draws Conclusions
After Investigating Facts
Dr. Frank L. iicVey,
President.
University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky
Dear Dr. McVey:
You will probably recall my talk with you about the
O'Bannon case several days ago. Either previous to or since
that time I have interviewed several of the persons most
closely associated with the situation and have read some of
I have compiled this information,
the correspondence.
searched through it for facts, and drawn some conclusions
frcm these facts. It is because of these facts and conclusions that I am writing this letter.

I agree with you that the main
of controversy is the'condi
tion of the transfer itself. Mr. O'Bannon claims to have obtained
leave from the college of engineering in order to design and supervise the installation cf the equipment in a tobacco curing experimental laboratory for the college of
agriculture.

Dean Graham claims to have understood the transfer to be a permanent one and therefore replaced
Mr. O'Bannon as head of the department of Mechanical Engineering. Since you have had nothing
to say about the conditions of the
transfer and since these two statements are opposite and contradictory and boil down to one man's
word against another man's word,
I think that we may consider that
they cancel. However, there is considerably more positive evidence
which I feel deserves your most
earnest consideration.
1) Mr. O'Bannon
did not and
has not resigned as head of the department of mechanical engineering
in the college of engineering.
2) Dean Cooper's letter requesting
th services of Mr. O'Bannon states
that the appointment to the
college was for one year in
order to do a research project. The
college of agriculture was to pay
10 months of Mr. O'Bannon's
salary and the college of engineering
the other two months.
3) Only two months after the
transfer, on September 19, 1936. Mr.
O'Bannon wrote to you that he considered the transfer a temporary
one and that he had every intention of returning to his position in
the college of engineering at the
end of the year's leave.
4) Certainly you must hae considered the transfer a temporary
one because
a) I your answer (October 6,
to Mr. O'Bannon's letter of
September 24. 1936, you stated that
the transfer was for a period of one
year, and that of course, it was
necessary that there be a replacement Jn the college of engineering
during the transition period. You
suggested that the matter be taken
up the following spring.
b) After his transfer Mr. O'Bannon was elected to and served on
the University council for a period
of one year. At this time there
was a representative from the college of agriculture on the council
and Mr. O'Bannon could not represent this college. You were asked
about this point and your answer
was that Mr. O'Bannon was merely
"loaned to the agriculture college
and was still a member of the col-eof engineering," therefore he
was eligible to serve as a member
of the council.
It was not until March 24. 1938.
yaers after Mr.
one and one-ha- lf
O'Bannon first wrote to you about
the matter) that you were able to
state definitely to Mr. O'Bannon that
you considered him permanently
transferred to the college of agriculture.
5) The fact that Mr. O'Bannon
has been fighting for his return to
the engineering college for four
years is certainly a strong indication that he sincerely believes that
the transfer was temporary.
