    Motion made by President Barker that Dr. Fai rhurst be awarded a degree of Science.

On the calling of the Roll the vote stood as follows:

    Mr. Nichols, aye; PFresident Barker, aye; Mr. Terrell, aye; Mr. Carpenter, aye;

Mr. Walker, aye; Mr. Davies, aye; Mr. Stoll, aye; Mr. Edelen and Mr. James K. Patter-

son, not voting.  Mr. Clay, no.   Motion carried.





     Motion made by President Barker that the degree of Doctor of Science be awarded

Mr. Alfred Meredith Peters. Motion carried unanimously.





     The President's Report was read by President H. S. Barker, of which the follow-

ing is a copy:-

     (Herein followed the President's Address to the Board.)

                               THE PRESIDIT'S REPORT,

To the Board of Trustees
   State University.


Gentlemen:

     I have the honor to herein make to you mry official report for the period elapsing

from the December meeting to the end of the Collegiate year, 1913,

     With the expiration of this term on June 5th next closes the most prosperous and

successful year in the existence of this institution, Three years ago when I became

President there were about six hundred students in the University proper; today there

are twelve hundred on the roster roll; an increase of more than one hundred percent in

numbers. An inquiry made by me of the various teachers reveals the fact that in no year

prior to this have the students been more studious or more orderly than during this;

there has been no disorder of any kind worthy of mention; no destruction of property

or other outrage; no hazing of any sort has been indulged in and I sincerely believe



June 4, 1913




 




MiITflES OF THE BOA RD OF TRUSTEES



the moral of the student body was never so high as during the year now coning to a

close; nor has the standard of scholarship been lower then that of any former year.

In a former report (December last) I told you of the great success of our stock judging

teeam at the International Dairy Show at Chicago; since then our students won a debate

with the law school of Indianapolis; had a tie in a debate with the law school of

Cincinnati; won the Intercollegiate Championship in debate with Georgetown University,

won second place in an oratorical contest in which all the colleges and Universities of

the State took part, and lost a debate with Vanderblt University. It seems to me

that this is brilliant success and shows that this University more than holds its own

in contests in intellectual attainments with other institutions of the country,

     Since the December Meeting of this board the license of several drinking saloons

Which had for so long fringed and disgraced the campus of the University expired and the

Commissioners of the city, and the Fudge of the County Court under the provisions of

the act forbidding the presence of such places within four hundred feet of the campus,

refused to renew them, and thus Passed out of existence a moral blight which had

barnacled on the cmapus and corrupted the students without let or hindrance for so long

a time that "The memory of man runneth not to the contrary." I feel that I am duty

bound to here acknowledge the debt of the University and through it that of the whole

State to Judge Kerr and 5udge Scott who upheld the constitutionality of the four hun-

dred feet statute, the learned County Attorney and his able assistant, who represented

the Commonwealth in the litigation with the saloon keepers, and the Mayor and the

Commissioners who enforced the statute by refusing to re-issue the license. These men

it is true only did their duty but it is proper that we should express our gratitude

to public servants who perform their duty and this I now do,

    As you know we have had a resident Y.M.C.A. Secretary upon the campus during the

last school year and I am happy to report that the seccess of this experiment in the

field of moral development is most gratifying; about eight hundred of our students en-

rolled themselves as members of this and its sister organization the Y.W.C.A. The



June 4,, 1913




 




TMIIUTES OF Gil BOARD OF TRUST1iS1ES



Secretary Mr. Hall has been most energetic and dil-ligent in his duties and it was

largely through his efforts plus the earnest co-operation of the faculty that so large

a number of students devoted themselves to building up upon the campus that high

moral tone which now exists there; and from the growth of which we have so much to hope

for in the future; so far as I am advised ours is the only institution of learning in

the State which has a resident Y.M.C.A. Secretary upon its grounds, and I am informed

and believe that no State University in the United States has relatively so large a

number of its students in this organization as has State University; here we seem to

be in a class by ourselves.

     Since the December Meeting the case of the Commonwealth vs/ R. C. Webb9 Jr.,

charged with arson has been tried in the Fayette Circuit Court and the defendant ac-

quitted. Upon the merits of this acquittal I will have nothing to say here9 deeming

it sufficient that in this trial it was demonstrated that the student body had nothing

whatever to do with the crime of burning Professor Anderson's office, or with any

other outrage or disorder connected therewith, On the contrary, the evidence showed

that althouth (although) there was a deliberate attempt to draw the students into this

affair their moral fiber and loyalty to the institution was such that the attempt was

wholly futile; Thomas Butler who pleaded guilty to being a party to the crime and who

is now serving a term in the Penitentiary for it, confessed that he and R. C. Webb, Jr.,

committed the crime and that they only were responsible for it.  Whether Mr. Webb was

or was not builty (guilty) is inmaterial to me for the purpose of this report. All

that I desire to say is that the student body in spite of the efforts of some of the

enemies of the University to show that they were mixed up in the affair were wholly

innocent and the whole matter may be summed up with the statement that the University

was the victim of a criminal act by a ruffian or ruffians but the loss of the property

was wholly covered by insurance and has been replaced entirely with no monetary loss to

the University whatever. It is the belief of some of the instructors, and in this I am

inclined to concur, that the students have really been benefited by the occurance (oc-

currence). They have been sobered by the unjust suspicion that they were participants



Yune 4, 1913




 




MiNUTES OF EnL BCARD OF TRUS ;ITES



in the crime and they are pleased that circumstances have been such that the real facts

of the matter have been produced in court and that the world knows now that they are

innocent. I feel personally that the occurrence has brought me into closer sympathy with

the students and that what I have been able to do for them has inspired them with greater

confidence in me as President of the University, and all this has resulted in building up

a stronger love for the institution and a better college spirit than we had before. It

is another instance of how evil may be made to procure good.  Out of the trouble, however,

between the coach and the assistant coach, which, in my opinion, was the cause of the

burning of Professor Anderson's Office athletics were thrown into great confusion with

a resulting loss of about fifteen hundred dollars. This I sincerely regret, although I

cannot see how it could have been foreseen or prevented. But we have all this behind us

now and all the disturbing elements are off the campus, and we with a greater experience

and a wider knowledge of the subject will go forward next year with a better chance of

success "surer to prosper, than prosperity could have assured us."

     Our financial condition is not materially variant from what was reported to you in

December; our debt is not increased and this, of course, means we have lived within our

income, The business agent's report will be before you at your meeting and you can see

at a glance our situation, I think it would be a mere waste of your time to repeat the

figures here, As you prehaps (perhaps) know the State Auditor and Treasurer have deemed it

wise to test the legality of the appropriation for the benefit of our institution and some

of the other institutions of the Commonweslth. In an action instituted by the Comissioner

of Agriculture against the above named officials, in my opinion, all of the real questions

involving the validity of our appropriations were decided by the Court of Appeals in our

favor thus affirming the opinion of the learned Circuit Judge Robert L. Stout. However, I

am informed the Auditor declined to issue our warrants until the Court in our own case

orders him so to do, In a case instituted by this institution against the Auditor, the

Circuit Court decided every point raised for us and this case is now pending on appeal,

I have every conficence (confidence) that the case will be decided by the Appellate Court

before it adjourns in June and I have no fear wahtever (whatever) of the result of the



June, It, r 913




 




M4INUTES OF THE BOARD OF T1ZUSTIEZIS



decision. No criticism is intended of the State Officers for their position in this

matter. I think the duty they owe the State, themselves and their bondsmen requires that

they should have the sanction of the Court of Appeals before paying out such large sums

if there be the slightest question of the legality of the Acts under which the payments

are to be made. We have been somewhat inconvenienced by this litigation but we have no

just cause to complain of the prudence of the State's fiscal officers.

     A comparative examination shows that this institution is being conducted with less

expense than other institutions in the country doing the same work, and the per capita

cost of educating students is very much lower than in any similar institution whose records

we have been able to get.

     I have been doing everything in my power to advertise the institution in a way that

will redound most to its good. We have had several successful track meets on the campus,

one of these was held for the benefit of the various High Schools throughout the State,

and a prize was awarded both for athletic skill and excellence in declamation. I am

quite sure that such exhibitions on the grounds of the campus tend to cultivate the good

vi1l of the High Schools from -which we must draw the larger part of our best material. Wle

also held here a Miner's Institute, which was attended by delegates from every coal mine

in the State, It was estimated that there were more than one thousand people in atten-

dance. I have great hopes that such meetings will stimlate young men who are proposing

to engage in the mining business to take a course in our College of Mines and Metallurgy.

     It gives me great pleasure to report that under the able management of Professor

E. L. Gillis the Registrar's office is fast becoming what it should be - a complete

repository of all the facts relating to the student body and the affairs of the University;

whatever information may be desired concerning the students or the University can now be

obtained without the slightest trouble or loss of time. And ve now have through the efforts

of Judge Lafferty, the Business Agent, and Mr. EIVwel Davies, our Auditor, an almost per-

fect system of bookkeeping; there is now assured (issued) monthly, as you know, a balance

sheet showing the exact condition of the financial condition of the institution. Whoever

ABSTESS OF TEE BOARD OF TRUSTEES



wishes to know the truth about the finances of the University may do so.

     In conclusion, without seeking to institute invidious Comparisons between

the colleges, (there being no reason so to do) I call your attention to the rapid

growth of the Agricultural College during the last three years; that you may have

the precise figures before you I submit a copy of the roster roll for the last

nine years:

          1904-5, 1905-6, 1906-7, 1907-8, 1908-9, 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, 1912-13.

students     19     27      32      40      48      66       101      198      286.

     My reason for so extended a notice of this particular College is because of

its peculiar importance to the State and the urgent necessity for its activities to

be extended until its great work is brought home to every fanmer in the Commonwealth.

You have before you Dr. KastleIs most excellent report, let me commend it to your most

careful attention; it shows the splendid work -which has been done for the farming in-

terest and the still more splendid and comprehensive work which it will do for it in

the immediate future. It gis redeeming every pledge made to the last Legislaturg and

under its influence Agriculture will take on a new phase in Kentucky.

     The farmer of Kentucky has too long lagged in the rear on the road of progress;

he must march up into the front rank and catch step with the most advanced of those

who are pressing on to prosperity, Above all things if he wants his boy to stay on

the farm he must give him a scientific agricultural education, He should not be forced

to farm with his muscles alone; teach him to farm with his brains as well; he should

not be a mere drudge - a stupid dolt; teach him how to harness all of the mighty

forces of Nature and to make them work for him a thousandfold more than he works for

himself, There is no reason that the farm should be a place which ambitious youth

shuns.
                                                                          (loneliness)
     I am satisfied that the great objection of youth to farm life is its lonliness.

The young man craves excitement of the city. The average farm house is desolate and

comfortless. There is nothing of the intellectual about it. The panacea for this is

education - the most desolate existence in all the world is isolated ignorance. The



T1lne 4, 1913




 



MINUTIlES OF T   BOARD OF TRUSTEES



young man who is educated, who has a cultivated taste for literature is independent of

the artificial excitement of city life. With his books around him he can comune

(commune) at will with the greatest minds of all time - he is possessed of a colupanion-

ship which the ignorant millionaire cannot command, He can visit at will the most

distant parts of the earth and behold all the wealth of the world. There can not be

lonliness (loneliness) where there is a well selected library of books and a mind

sufficiently cultivated to appreciate them. In order to make the farm life enjoyable

it must be an intellectual life. An ignorant man on a farm only exists - he does not

live.

     This then must be one of the great aims of this University; To place Agriculture

in the State upon a scientific anad prosperous basis. To follow in the footsteps of the

State University of' Wisconsin which doubled farm values in that State within a period

of about ten years,

                                       Respectfully submitted

     The Executive Committee sitting as the Committee on the Budget beg leave herewith

to submit to the Board of Trustees the proposed budget for the ensuing year, and the

Committee on the Budget recommends to the Board that the resolution heretofore adopted

in regard to Miss Kinkeadts services as a lecturer of English be repealed and set

aside. Your Committee in recommending this budget has carefully considered the rec-

ommendations and requests made by the different Departments of the University, but

after a consultation with President Barker and Mr. Hywel Davies, Auditor of the

university, the Committee hereby recommends that the budget herewith submitted be

adopted, provided, however, that the Executive Committee may upon representation of

the President of the University in writing giving his reasons therefor make such changes

in the said budget as may seem wise to the Committee.

     The Committee further recommends that the President submit at each meeting of the

Committee a report in writing of the work done by the University since the last report

and of such recommendations as he may desire the Committee to consider, and that, a

copy of the minutes of each meeting of the Executive Committee, together with the

report of the President, be sent to each member of the Board of Trustees.

     A motion vias made by President Barker and Seconded by Ber Stoll that the Budget

be adopted. Upon Roll call the vote was unanimously carried.





     This closed the first part of the Business Meeting and motion was made by Mr.

Stoll that one hour be allowed the Committee from the Alumni in which to present their

plea on behalf of Dr. Patterson's claim.

(Station) Sation expends annually about tl1800000 in printing-

     Therefore be it resolved that the Board of Trustees favor the establishment of

University including the Experiment Station. And be it further resolved that this

question be referred to the Executive Committee together with President Barker and W7. T.

Lafferty9 the Business agent, to investigate and ascertain if a printing press and the

necessary equipment can be purchased and operated without any additional expenee to

the University, and if they find that it can be done9 then they are given full power to

act, and they will report their acts and doings to the next meeting of this Board.
