"Peg"
Marion, Kentucky
Glee Club, Patterson Literary Society, Henry Clay Law Society, Class Representative, '09 Varsity Debating Team, '07-'08.
For six long years "Peg" has been sojourning at this Institution. Of all those ambitious youngsters who entered upon the exploration of Freshman mysteries with him in the long ago, he, like Cooper's Mohican, is the last. However, since his departure from the College of Arts, with that singleness of purpose which characterizes one of his declining years he has forsaken the primrose paths of the social world, turned his back upon all maidens and spends his time in contemplation of the future, when he will take unto himself the fairest of Crittenden's damsels and live happily ever afterward in the realms of connubial bliss.
"Men may come and men may go, but I go on forever."
-The Kentuckian, 1911
