Students 1899-12 volumes, illustrations, 23-25 cm. Call Number: LH1.K4 K44 The Kentuckian: A Monthly Magazine was published by the students of the State College of Kentucky. It was stated that "each month it will be one of the features of The Kentuckian to discuss one or more of the places of its characters. Every one should know his State and its people thoroughly. 'Tis better to know this than all the history ever written." The Kentuckian followed after the demise of The Cadet and it was felt that the Cadet was suggestive of only one department and that The Kentuckian would be a comprehensive and appropriate magazine that would be truly representative of K.S.C Volume numbering changed during 1899 from Volume 8 to Volume 2.

  Plains, or Kentucky Blue Grass the neighing of the horse

"   , Man’s language is his chief legacy from the past and t  
  his richest bequest to the future. It has become the most , i- Q  
  Q plenteous source of his knowledge. It is that which ~ ‘   _ 
·   _ ‘ touches nearest his soul, possesses the least of earthy clay  
  and its consequent mortality. It alone throws a glow of   ’
  life over the dead past. We travel far to visit scenes 01 A  
  human experience——battle grounds, buried cities, massive l  
  A ruins and ancient relics, but the vastest structure ofrnan’s  
  ‘ genius lies about us. It is like solid masonry built by ·  
~   hands, and yet has power to grow and die like a thing  I  ,
  ‘``` "·—· possessed ot life. It is labyrynthian in structure where  
  the great irmilies of language are ramihed and interlaced. .  
  There is the American Indian with its power of agglutina-   A
  tion or growing ofwords together, its beautiful metaphors  
  and soft euphoneous cadences. We have borrowed many S _  
  A place names from them and should have borrowed many ·  
  4 more. For example, Kentucky, dark and bloody ground ; _ »  
  lVIississippi, father of waters ; Missouri, big muddy ; Ohio,  
  beautiful ; Rappahannock, quick rising water ; l\‘linne—  
  V haha, laughing water ; Chicago, wild onion ; Chautauqua, ` t  
  foggy place; Saratoga, miraculous waters, and many  
  others. How much prettier Chatterawa, rippling over _
  rock, than our own. Big Sandy. S ‘_
if gf   There may be seen in this labyrynth the Semitic lan- _,
`     guage with its glorious coloring and rich learning whose n ij
  ‘ iridescence shines along the remotest past. `It embraces _ %

Y  l ally DARTMAN; from the Franks we have the word     T
`_  _°»‘ l FRANK, implying the high moral virtues of the settlers of ‘ s  
  E France. The;Angles were so-called from settling in the   _
  =_  _ angles of the mountains, the Saxons from the curved "   _
  . sword or seax which they carried. From this race, which .  
 it conquered the Kelts or drove them to their fastnesses, we V _   _
  have received probably three-fifths of our words.  
 - The next great racial conflict that affected the lan- ,  
  guage was with the Danes, including the jutes and Nor-  
t i wegians, who belonged to the Scandinavian branch. l l '·,·  
  A They were blood#thirsty and intrepid sea kings, who for S  
 ” hundreds or years burned, fiayed and broke the bones of  
 . the Saxons. The last struggle, and that which aH`ected r   '
  most perceptibly the language, was with the brothers of V . ‘ "  .*
  _· --»» —~—, these vikings, who had conquered the Gauls in Normandy _ _ .  _“ ·
 iQ and had taken the name of Normans. Their language     V
  " ` was composed of Norse and bastard Latin. In England, J  
  after the conquest. it became the language of the court. . T i`

 _ guage through polity. But fashion, and school-room,’ ·  
  and king, and army could not root fr0m the sturdy Saxon _ _   i
ij the beloved accents ot his mother tongue. He adopted ·  
  q the words of his conquerers, . but as grafts, merely. upon A `  
  S his own. From this union grew the language of Shake- l   ’
‘ _ speare and Milton and the English Bible—a language S  
  » peculiarly rich in synonyms and in capacity for growth.  
    A few of the words the Saxons have dropped are EYEBITE .

  ‘ Some words may boast of a lineage which can be   °
QQ - traced to a hoary antiquity; again, others are but the  
L growth of yesterday. Our very early forefathers in In+ _  
  dia thought that the day was kindled as a fire every  L
ig. morning, hence the word DAY has that implied meaning.  
  We still use for the days ot the week» the old mythologi-   _
  cal gods which the Saxons brought from the East with -  
  them. Wednesday is WODEN,SDAY the highest god’s day;  
  Thursday, THORS or THUNDER’S day; Friday, FREYA, ,   A
  the highest goddess day; Saturday the day oi SEATER or   _
-   . . SATURN; Sunday, the sUN’s DAY; Monday; the MOON’S»

  · man names for the months have supplanted those of the  
., Saxon. Vile have JANUARY from the Roman ]anus god _   _
Y, of the year instead of the Saxon K\’OLF—l\IONTI-I, the Ro-  
  _ man February from the festival of puriiication, instead of `   Q `F  
  A l the Saxon S1-ROUTE-KAL12. Ancient usage places kale  
T · and jowl in high rank. l.\/[ARCH, god of war and hus— Qt
. bandry instead of SAXON LENcTE-MoNTH because it was  
‘ ~ ·j longer than the others. Al’RIL from Aprilis was the Sax- ,i
`; , on OSTEl{ Moxrru because then they celebrated Easter,  
_ the goddess of light and spring. Gay adornment and ii
»_ easter eggs are probably as old as the race. It corres—»
.° , ponded to the jewish passover. Both have been infused l _
. i with a higher meaning because of the promise to live V

"   MONTH because they then milked their cows three times a.     ,

  DENT DE moo, lion’s tooth, we call DANDELIOTJ ; the Ger-
