Roscoe Kash, youngest freshman, Fall 1921 (x)



On December 13, 1921 the Kentucky Kernel noted:

“Roscoe Kash, who is only fourteen and the youngest student in the history of the University… is an exceptionally bright young lad… [he] is taking a course and expects to finish his medical course and be ready to serve as an intern in a hospital when he is 21 years old. If these ambitions are realized Roscoe will perhaps be the youngest physician in the United States. But for all his brightness he is a good sport and has made a host of friends on the campus.”



Kash achieved his dream of becoming a doctor. In 1962, he returned to present the University of Kentucky with a gift for the Scholarship Fund (x)
