Caldwell

Lowry McReynolds Caldwell, a junior in the College of Agriculture, has
been awarded the Pullman scholarship of 250, one of the 20 awards
given to agricultural colleges annually by the Pullman company.
The award is made on the basis of
cash money won in the open classes
at the International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago. The University
of Kentucky received the scholarship
this year because of the sheep entered
at the show.
Mr. Caldwell has received a number
of honors during his three years at
the university. He was honor student
in the freshman class in the College
of Agriculture, and received the Weild
Prize for having the highest scholastic standing in his freshman and sophomore years. He is a member of
Alpha Gammo Rho fraternity, Alpha
Zeta, honorary agricultural fraternity, and the Block and Bridle Club.

ELIGIBLE

Caldwell's home is at Howell, Ky.
This is the second time the scholarship has been awarded to a University
of Kentucky student. Hamil Travis
received a similar award in 1924.

At noon yesterday 2018 students
had registered for the second semos-tat the university, according to
reports received from the registrar's

ly two hundred are new students or
students who were not in attendance
at the university last semester.
When regular registration closed

were astonished at this small num

Now a plan has been formulated;
one that will be as beneficial to the
individual as it will be to the As
sociation.
Our plan is to obtain enough life
members in the Association to create
a fund large enough to be invested
as a trust fund the proceeds of which
are to go toward the maintenance and
work of the Association. It is to be
a condition of the fund that the prin
cipal cannot be disturbed but held in
trust and the income alone used by
the Association.
Year before last it was decided that
the life memberships should be worth
$50.00. This amount when invested
at six per cent will yield $3.00 a year
which is the amount of the dues if
paid yearly. In 17 years, if an Alum
nus pays up his dues each year, he
will have paid in the sum of $51.00 and
there is nothing in the treasury of
the Association to show for the

each subscriber would become a mem

ber of the Association, with all the
rights and benefits of the Association,
for his life time. He would receive
The Kentucky Kernel each week dur- ing the school year and all other publications and information sent out by
the Association. He would have a
vote for life in all matters concerning the Association and h'e also would
have a voice in the election of the
Alumni Members of the Board of
Trustees of the university.
The goal has been set at 15,000 life
members and a call is hereby issued to
every loyal Alumnus and Alumnae
to do his and her share in the establishment of this fund. It is not a
call for a donation to a fund but an
offer to give value received for the
money. Other universities have raised an Alumni fund from donations
and gifts. Surely the Alumni of the
University of Kentucky are as loyal
to their Alma Mater as those of other
institutions.
Arrangements already have been
made with the business agent of the
university to take care, of the investment of the money and he will
act as trustee of the fund.
Why not pay up once for all time.
It will be much simpler for you and
a great help to the Association.

In going through our files of Alumni publications of former years we
find that several copies are missing.
We are making an especial effort to
collect a complete file in order that
we can have it bound. We have from
time to time received copies from
Alumni who had them at home. What
we need most is early copies of the
Kentucky Alumnus, Annual Reports
of the Alumni Association and all
other publications that are available.
If you have any around that you do
not need bundle them up and send
them to us. We will appreciate it.
A complete file will be of great value
money.
