Description
Edward Everett Hardin, LL.B.
Sebree, Kentucky
Delta Chi; Tau Kappa Alpha; Henry Clay Society; Union Literary Society.
Judge, when forced, will tell you that he is from Sebree. The name is synonymous with sea breeze, hence the Judge is as full of salty conversation and convincing argument as a dog is of fleas. He has friends by the score, but he has withstood the attacks of the vampires all four years. Ed has probably promised some little Sebree girl that he would remain true, and believe us, Eddie has kept his word.
-The Kentuckian, 1920
