By Andrew C. Eckdahl
At this time of paying tribute to
Individuals who wielded a prominent part in Lexington's life a
ago, it is fitting to recall
the services of James Kennedy Patterson and no more impressive recollection can be had In this day
than that Inspired by his likeness
in bronze unveiled a few years ago
on the University of Kentucky campus.
An imposing portrayal of scholarly dignity, the statue of President
Patterson endures as a memorial to
the man who served for 41 years
as head of the school.
The work of Augustus Lukeman,
noted sculptor, the statue stands in
the rear of the administration building in a quadrangle flanked by the
administration building White hall,
the University museum and the
science building.
Figure Faces Drive
The figure, which faces the drive
from the administration building to
the library, is flanked by a tile pavilion and surrounded on three sides
by a low marble wall. Shrubbery
grows at the back and the sides of
the wall.
Worked in bronze, the statue
shows the seated figure of Dr. Patterson, his left hand grasping his
cane and his right hand, a sheaf of
papers.

He saved his seed for the next
generation.
Funds for the construction of the
statue which cost approximately
$20,000, were collected entirely from
private citizens. In his will. President Patterson left $1,000 to be used
for such a memorial.
Brother Wills Fund
Prof. Walter Patterson, brother of
the president willed $5,000 for the
memorial when he died in 1932. The
remainder of the fund was donated
by friends of the President Patterson.
Unveiling ceremonies were held
Friday. June 1, 1934. with the dedicatory address by A. O. Stanley,
University of Kentucky alumnus,
former United States senator.
Charles N. Manning Lexington
banker and chairman of the memcommittee,
presented the
orial
statue to the University and Dr.
Frank L. McVey. president of the
University since 1917, accepted the
memorial. Prof. George Roberts of
the College of Agriculture presided
at the ceremonies.
Stanley Dedicates
In his dedicatory address Mr.
Stanley said in part:
"Were I asked 'Where is the monument of James K. Patterson?' with

"Twice 10,000 aspiring youths of
whose plastic lives he was once the
architect and the inspiration have
eternally inscribed upon throbbing
hearts and the tablets of love and
memory, the ineffaceable story of
his nobility and worth, and that
story as a proud and tender tradition shall pass from father to son,
so long as yonder bronze shall defy
the wasting tooth of time."For him there is no need of
storied urn or animated bust". The
University is the fitting and eternal
monument to James Kennedy Patterson.
"Its green and undulating campus
was acquired by his keen foresight,
its umbrageous trees planted by
his tender hands and watered by
his loving care. The foundation of
its imposing halls was set by his
skill and by his tireless energy, his
transcendent genius, and his indomitable will were laid one stone
on another."
Born Id Scotland
President Patterson was born in
Glosgow. Scotland, in 1863. When
he was but a small boy his family
migrated to America.
He received his bachelor of arts
degree from Hanover College, Indiana, and in 1875 was awarded a
doctor of philosophy degree from
the same school. He received an

degree from Lafayette
Pennsylvania, in 1896.
When President Patterson first
came to Kentucky he taught school
iiear Newcastle. He became successively principal of the Presbyterian
Academy, Greenville; principal of
Stewart College, Clarkesville; and
president of Transylvania University.

Such a pitiful waste of human life is just
another vivid argument for the advancement

Mental hygiene is a (ompaiatively undeveloped field, but scientists are working diligently

Nothing like it for bringing on an inferiority
complex. And we are told by a psychologist
friend of ours," who can sjxt a complex at twenty
paces, that such mishas often lead to shyness
and other jisycho-neurotiphenomena. If this

dcsn't seein to get results, then play
your ace. Buy a revolver and go alxmt
filing it into the air constantly. People
will invariably avoid you, and you will
find yourself unpopular within a few
days. Thus doing away with the possibility of a complex.
