While in London, Doctor Pryor

speciality, osteology.
On November 25, Doctor Pryor ad
dressed the Association of Anatomists
of Great Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. These men are all members of
the Royal College of Physicians and
Surgeons. They discussed at length
his paper and "agreed with his utterances on the great subject which has
occupied his time in research for many
years. Doctor Pryor also gave a
similar lecture to the Ecole de Medicine in Paris.
Doctor and Mrs. Pryor sailed from
New York to Paris on the Majestic.
They spent a week in Paris, visiting
the battlefield, Versailles, and Fon- tenebleau. From there they went to
Avignon in southern France and then
to Nice and Monte Carlo where they
viewed the famous Casino. They went
to Naples, thence to Pompeii, over
the Amalfi Drive to Sorrento, and
then down to Capri near where they
visited the Blue Grotto.
Returning to Naples, they went to
Florence, Venice and Milan, and then-tInterlaken and Lucerne in Switzerland. Thence they went to Heidelberg, Germany, then to- Weisbaden,
down the Rhine to Cologne, and thence
to Amsterdam.
They visited The Hague in Holland,
as well as the Isle of Marken, and
crossing by the Hook of Harlaan to
Haarwich, England, they went to
Glasgow.
In Scotland they visited
the country home of Robert Burns
and Sir Walter Scott. They went to
Edinburgh and later visited the lake
country of England, whence they went
to Carlisle, thence via Furnace Abbey
to London where they visited Windsor Castle, the Shakespearian country, Hampton Court, Kenilworth Castle and the city generally.
After spending two weeks in London they went back to Paris where
they stayed four months. Mrs. Pryor
studied art at Colurosa School of Art,
copying in the Louvre "Mona Lisa"
and Raphael's "Holy Family."
Doctor and Mrs. Pryor sailed for
home December 15, and reached New
York December 24. While in New

Mr. Linley V. Gordon as guest of

honor at an international relations
dinner on January 19. Mr. Gordon is

and enjoying the world-wid- e

Mr. Gordon believes that the most
important development of the present
day is the new conception of our international responsibilities. He says:
"One thing that impresses me as I go
from city to city on this trip is the
increasing Interest I find everywhere
in the international questions. There
is a great demand for information on
questions of international politics.''
"The newspapers have sensed this
demand and are devoting far more
space to foreign news than ever before. An official of one of the great
news associations told me that news
from abroad now occupies at least
four times as much as it did before
the war. All the press associations
and nearly all the leading American
newspapers now have special correspondents stationed at Geneva to send
out news about the League oi Nations."

Theta Sigs. These industrious maidens, believeing that their place is in

on the campus, and for a week have
held forth in great glee in the executive positions of The Kernel staff.

The 1927 football season at the University of Kentucky was a financial
success and the debt was reduced to a
point where a contract for a certain

according to a report made at the
meeting of the ahtletic council of the
university in the offices of Pres.

Despite the setback suffered by the

larger crowds than have ever before

Restaurant Rat Dines

On Choice Snake Meat

Joe, Ted, Paul and Herman Are
Victims of Ferocious

Appetite

While carefree students were enjoying the Christmas holidays their
snake friends, Mike, Joe, Ted, Paul and
Herman were victims of a restaurant
rat which had been placed in their
cage for food.
All the snakes were buried with
proper ceremonies with the exception
of Joe and Ted, who were mislaid
and hung on a bush outside of the
Science building on the campus for
several days.
Ray Stadelman, keeper or the
snakes, is majoring in zoology at the
university. Some time ago he began
feeding jail rats to his snakes and as
these ferocious animals did no harm
to the members of Oscar's kingdom
he thought they were invulnerable.
Imagine his surprise when a small
restaurant rat succeeded not only in
killing but also in devouring four of
his pets.
Ray says he has learned his lesson
and advises snake keepers to beware
of restaurant rats as they are more
deadly to the reptiles than the reptiles are to them.
