      E.    Resolutions

      Elissa Plattner asked to read the following resolution for James C.
Bowling:

      Whereas, James C. Bowling exemplified the qualities of charity,
      benevolence and altruism, hallmark of a life of excellence.

      Whereas, he demonstrated that it is not what we make of our worldly
      goods, but the good we can make for others.

      Whereas, someday a new fact will be discovered, a new idea will take
      shape, an old problem will find a new answer and these acts will be
      born of the seeds of generosity that are the legacy of this far-sighted
      Kentuckian.

      Therefore, the purpose of this resolution of the University of Kentucky
      Board of Trustees is to honor the memory of the life and good works of
      James C. Bowling.

      The 19th day of August, 1997.

      Governor Breathitt said that everyone appreciated the outstanding
service that James Bowling gave to the University of Kentucky, a moving
spirit behind the Kentuckians in New York, and his strong efforts through
the Development Council through the years. He said he would be missed,
and it is very appropriate that the Board recognize him with a resolution at
this time.
