WORK BEGINS ON
MEMORIAL GATE
Erection of Belknap Memorial in
Front of Administration
Building is Started
MEMORY OF W. R. BELKNAP
Work has been started on the
new Belknap Memorial Gate, to
be built at the entrance in front
of the Administration Building.
This work is the culmination of
plans set when the University
first took over Belknap Campus.
The gate is to consist of a sim-ple
dignified column on each side
of the road in front of the Admin-istration
building, with a low con-necting
brick wall. The brick to
be used on the columns will be
similar to that used in the con-struction
of the Administration
building.
At the time the University
moved to Belknap Campus, the
Board of Trustees of the Univer-sity
voted to erect a memorial
gate, leaving the W. R. Belknap
family the privilege of a memorial
plate on this gate. Although plans
for the gate were approved by the
Board and the Belknap family, a
change in the administration of
the University and other occur-ances
have delayed its erection
until the present time.
“CAMILLE” LAUDED
AT PLAYHOUSE
Little Theatre Production Favor-ably
Received; Beckham,
Miller Play Leads
SETTINGS ARE TIMELY
The Little Theatre Company in
its brilliant and beautiful presenta-tion
of “Camille” by Alexander
Dumas, under the direction of
Boyd Martin, gave a production of
which any amateur company
might well be proud.
Marjorie Keyes Miller veritably
lived the part of Marguerite dur-ing
the three hours of the play,
vividly portraying the conflicting
emotions and tender sentimental-ity
of the character. From gaiety
to somberest sorrow she leads the
audience through all the emotions
possible to a woman’s heart.
J. C. W. Beckham, Jr., played
the part of the somewhat naive,
though entirely sincere, Armand
Duval in a very admirable manner.
Mr. Beckham possesses much of
the poise and composure which
was characteristic of the nine-teenth
century Parisian gentle-man,
as well as a determination
and spirit which enabled him to
depict the part successfully. Prob-ably
the most beautiful acted
scene in the entire play was that
of the separation of Marguerite
and Armand; the death scene was,
of course, also admirably done.
Thelma Dolan, as the bustling
though careful maid of Marguerite
very capably enacted her role.
Vivian May Grady as the inevit-able
Prudence, Marguerite’s spend-thrift
friend, gave a thoroughly
human and amusing performance.
George Patterson, as M. Duval,
who causes Marguerite, for the
love of Armand, to make the su-preme
sacrifice of giving him up,
gave his usual splendid perform-ance.
Norman Wright as the jeal-ous
Baron de Varville, Dr. Billy
Keller, who spent most of his time
trying to escape a certain story of
a “Yellow Cab,” Mary Charlton,
Norman Roche, Lawrence Koch,
Bruce Smith, Logan Fenley, Allan
Bond, Mary Barcley, T. Dudley
Musson, Russell Pirkey, Stuart
Keller, and other which space does
not permit our mentioning also de-serve
recognition.
The audience was carried away
into the late nineteenth century
by the timely settings and period
costumes, which greatly enhanced
the performance.
After the last curtain the house
remained solemnly silent for sev-eral
minutes before it burst into
applause; the lights revealed many
a tear-stained face in the audience.
This revival was well accepted and
deeply appreciated by the Little
Theatre Company patrons.

RAPID GROWTH RECENTLY
“Our Municipal University
Looks Forward,” an article by Dr.
R. A. Kent, President of the Uni-versity,
appeared in the January
issue of the Journal of the Louis-vill
Board of Trade. The article
deals with recent advances in the
University in personel, student
body, in the various schools and
in athletics. Dr. Kent makes sev-eral
predictions as to what the
University will try to do in the
future and states just what we
may expect in the way of future
policies of the institutions.
He takes up the growth of the
University’s student body in the
last ten years and contributing
causes for this growth. Although
Dr. Kent states that the period of
rapid expansion is over, he be-lieves
that we may look forward
for a steady growth in numbers as
years pass.
The present status of the Law
School is discussed with pride, in
view of its recent acceptance by
the Association of American Law
Schools. This acceptance places
the Law School on a par with any
other law school in the country,
he points out.
In his discourse as to the future
university Dr. Kent states that
quality is to be the goal of the
school. The library will be the
center of learning in the future
and it is reasonable to expect that
adult education will greatly ad-vane
in time to come.
The article in full follows:
OUR MUNICIPAL UNIVER-SITY
LOOKS FORWARD
(By R. A. Kent, President of the
University of Louisville)
Ten years ago the University of
Louisville had 1,138 students; to-day
it has 2,900. Then it occupied
five buildings and had no acreage;
today it occupies 19 buildings and
owns more than 30 acres of val-uable
city property. Then there
was no School of Engineering; to-day
there are 104 engineering
graduates. Then there was no
School of Music; today 272 stu-dents
are enrolled in this school.
The present faculty of 273 mem-bers
was then represented by one
of 182. The University of Louis-ville
as a whole and in each of its
separate schools is accredited by
all the state and national accredit-ing
agencies, so that a student in
good standing may transfer from
it to any other corresponding
school anywhere in the United
States.
Here then is a glimpse of some
of the changes effected within a
decade. If, as is often said, the
past should be the basis of any
forecast, what may we say of the
future of this, the city’s Univer-sity?
Probable Period of Fastest Growth
