ORIGIN, PURPOSES, AND ACCREDITATION
The University of Kentucky, a state—supported institution, is located at
Lexington, an urban community of over 100,000 population. The Board of
Trustees includes the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
· the Commissioner of Agriculture, ex ofHcio, and twelve members appointed by
the Govemor, three of whom are alumni of the University. The University is
one of a number of institutions known as land-grant colleges, which were
established by the Morrill Act of 1862, and which have continued to receive
federal assistance under provisions of this and subsequent laws relating to
l the teaching of agriculture and the mechanic arts and the provision of agri-
cultural experiment stations and extension services in agriculture and home
economics.
The University of Kentucky began as a part of Kentucky University under
a cooperative plan authorized by the legislature in 1865. The purpose of this
plan was to unite sectarian and public education under one organization. This
experiment was tried for a number of years. In the meantime, the federal funds
authorized under the Morrill Act were used to develop agriculture and mechanic
arts in Kentucky University. In 1878, when the people of Kentucky decided to
establish a state institution of higher leaming, the College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts was separated from Kentucky University and reestablished on
t land given by the City of Lexington and the County of Fayette. Thirty years
later the legislature changed the name of the institution to the State University
of Kentucky, and gave it additional financial support. In 1916 the name was
again changed, this time to the present title, and additional maintenance was
arranged by legislative act.
The major function of the University is that of instruction. For the per-
formance of this function it is organized into the College of Arts and Sciences,
the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the College of Engineering,
the College of Law, the College of Education, the College of Commerce, the
College of Pharmacy, the Graduate School, and the Department of University
Extension.
In addition to giving instruction to its student body, the University con-
tributes to the welfare of the state through research, experimentation, and pub-
lic service. While all departments make important contributions along these
lines, certain divisions and bureaus have been established specifically for these
purposes. Included in this group are the Experiment Station and the Extension
` Division of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics, the Bureau of
‘ Business Research, the Bureau of Govemment Research, the Bureau of School
Service, the Bureau of Source Materials in Higher Education, the University
Placement Bureau, the Radio Studios, the Department of University Extension,
the Department of Public Relations, the Engineering Experiment Station, the
, Child Guidance Service, the Industrial Psychological Service, the Social Re-
A search Consultation Service, and the Bureau of Community Service. -
The University of Kentucky is a member of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Kentucky Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools. It is accredited in its respective colleges or departments by
the Association of American Law Schools, the American Association of Collegi-

 18 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY
ate Schools of Business, the American Association of Schools and Departments
of joumalism, the American Library Association, the Association of Research
Libraries, the National Association of Schools of Music, the Engineers’ Council
for Professional Development, the American Chemical Society, the American
Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the American Council on Pharmaceutical
Education, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and
the National University Extension Association. The University’s Department
of Social Work is a constituent member of the Council on Social Work Educa- f
tion.
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY
Students are admitted to the University of Kentucky as freshmen, as stu- i
dents with advanced standing from other institutions, as graduate students, as
special students, and as auditors. Admission to certain colleges is governed by
special regulations.
Applications for admission to the University should be made to the Uni-
versity Registrar on forms furnished by the Registrar’s Office. Certified copies
of high school credentials and of work done in other institutions should be
submitted to the Registrar’s Office in advance of the registration period. Failure
to file credentials in time for checking before the registration period will delay
the student in arranging his program. All admissions, including those to the
professional schools and the Graduate School, must be passed on by the Regis-
trar’s Office. Students who come to the University without having had their
admission approved, do so at their own risk. The University reserves the right ‘
to refuse consideration of applications not made before the beginning of the
registration period. The University classification tests must be taken by new
undergraduate students before they can be registered for classes.
Admission to the Freshman Cluss
Applicants who are graduates of accredited high schools will be admitted
to the University on certificate, provided they have at least fifteen units of ac-
ceptable high school work. A unit represents the study of any subject for a
school year of at least thirty-two weeks, with five recitation periods a week,
each of at least forty-five minutes in length, or the equivalent thereof. Double
periods are required in shop, drawing, typewriting, and all other courses which
demand no out-of—class preparation. One unit is the minimum credit accepted
in any foreign language, and one-half unit the minimum in any other subject.
While the University does not prescribe a pattem of work for admission,
it recommends that at least ten of the units presented be chosen from English, .
the social studies, mathematics, the foreign languages, and the laboratory
sciences, and that within these ten units the student offer at least three units
in English, o
