Frank Walton Dempsey, LL.B.
Burlington, KY
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Mystic Thirteen, Football, Varsity Football
"Cupid's" fame rests not on things written and said but on the arduous greatness of things done."
He is a thunderbolt on the gridiron. It is rumored that he played backfield in high school, but no one believes it. However, he made a touchdown Thanksgiving 'I7, reminding the spectators of the movements of an elephant in the hosts of Xerxes or a tank in No Man's Land. Enjoys a dance every Thanksgiving night. Is as polite as Lord Chesterfield. His motto seems to be: "Take Life Easy," and his ambition to represent the Sixth District in Congress.
-The Kentuckian, 1918
