Irvin, Hlen Deiss. Hail Kentucky! A Pictorial History of the University of Kentucky. With an Introduction by Holman Hamilton.
University of Kentucky Press: University of Kentucky Centennial Committee, [1965].
Quarto, illustrated cloth (hardcover), 102 pp. Illustrated with photos. Very Good+, with former-owner signature and bumped corners ÒFrom the splendid collection of old photographs and glass negatives in the University of Kentucky archives gathered by the late Ezra Gillis, and from many other sources, has come a vivid and nostalgic picture of the University's first century....This pictorial record of 250 striking photographs recaptures the colorful atmosphere and events from the history of a university emerging from a pioneer culture. Recalled here are the early struggles of the faculty and the varied and sometimes violent student activities. Both nostalgic and amusing are class pictures and intimate photographic glimpses of early football games, belles and beaux of the nineties, dormitory rooms with Gibson-girl pin-ups, and the interclass free-for-alls that once aroused the whole Bluegrass community. These are balanced by views -- no less nostalgic but more serious -- of classrooms, of ancient-style laboratories, of well-known faculty personalities, and of distinguished alumni as they appeared in student days.Ó

The story of the halting progress in education, the efforts of the men and wonmen fighting for reform, the emerging fights for blacks' and womens' rights -- all are examined.
